He wasn't entirely sure if that was against the rules or not, but he figured he could just put them back on if it seemed like anybody important was coming. It felt almost like an act of rebellion, which put him on edge. He just wanted to be comfortable, and he hoped nobody would see him who would read it as an act of defiance.

He pulled out the book he was currently engrossed in and set it on his lap. He'd open it in a few, but he wanted to admire the view first. Truthfully, the boy usually liked being alone, but today he was feeling a little lonely. The new regime at Hogwarts certainly wasn't making him feel any better. He was a certified Good Boy at heart and always, always, ALWAYS followed the rules -- and he would NEVER sass a professor, or any adult for that matter -- but that definitely did not mean that he liked the way things were going around here. Compliant? Yes. Approving? Not even a little bit.

Still, better not to put up a fuss. Acting out was just never worth it. He had learned that a long time ago with his parents. But as much as he loved escaping his home and coming to Hogwarts usually, now it was just... hard to be here. He didn't know who he could trust and who he couldn't, so he never felt like he could be honest about what he was thinking, even in the privatest settings. (He was coming close with Penny, he thought, but that was a different story entirely.) He also felt like he was constantly looking over his shoulder, paranoid about accidentally breaking a rule that he didn't even know existed and getting in trouble. Thinking about it all had left the Ravenclaw feeling a little melancholy and pensive today.

He sighed deeply once more and rested his chin on his fist, elbow on his knee, staring at the lake.

Just needing to get OUT of the castle while he could, Derf had packed up his books and study materials to head outside. He wanted to get as far away from the castle as he could, no real reason, and that meant going down by the lake........which the Hufflepuff was still not all that comfortable being around. But there were a few things going for him, namely the sun being out, that made it tolerable. All these lessons at night being held out here - the worst being Divination where they had had to CLOSE their eyes in order to clear there mind being the worst - had not made his readjusting to the grounds any easy. But, perhaps, the worst bit about it all was that he knew the emotional validation he had so desperately craved before....was even less likely to present itself this term. This new Headmaster and the newly appointed people he brought with them...they were even colder than the Headmistress had been and THAT was saying something. Not to mention he had not been able to warm up to Professor Noble just yet, so it was hard to tell if the same level of understanding he had found in Professor Myers would be present with his new Head of House...though he had a good feeling about the man.

.......maybe later in the term though.

So it was, wandering about the lake looking for a good spot to settle down, that the sixth year happened upon a Ravenclaw looking..well...pensive.

"Everything all right there?" he asked softly, hopefully not spooking the kid too much seeing as he had sorta come out of no where.

Glancing around a bit, Derf also noticed the Charms professor looking, well, even more like there was a dementor lurking over his shoulder than usual. The sixth year was honestly starting to wonder if Hogwarts was bad for the man's health. He just looked more and more miserable each term. Maybe Sylvie could cheer him up a bit?

Shaking his mind from such thoughts, it was the exchange between the new Muggle Studies professor and a first year that was being threatened by the man. Now, threats and such were common place these days it seemed...but wrath? That was...well...Derf was easily set on edge and ready to spring into action if need be. "....did that man come to educate us or to bully?" he asked rhetorically under his breath. He had felt the dismissal of Professor Stewart a bit overdue and primarily because of everything the woman had gone through. Being under the influence of Dark magic and Dark substances for ... three years? It was a lot...and Derf felt it had been negligence on behalf of the administration to allow her to continue teaching. So, he really did hope that wherever the woman was right now...she was taking a much earned rest.
