which was knocked right off a second later.

Julie could have been knocked over with a feather. Derfael? Detention? The two words together, although alliterated, made no sense, and her complete shock shone brighter on her face then the mid-day sun on the black lake. "What?" She managed eloquently, her mouth remaining open despite the lack of sound coming from it. Fletcher- Fletcher- what did he teach again? Most likely a class Julie didn't attend for her own experience with the man had so far (thankfully, it seemed) been restricted to random encounters and the daily S. O. R. E. "For what, even? being too understanding?" That was a joke, but there was a fair amount of truth in it- for Julie couldn't think up a single reason why-

Oh wait. Jessa. Zoryn. Abra. It was not actually impossible that her fair friend had been pulled into something by any one of the three which hadn't set well with the new professor's sensitive sensibilities.

He had never met Mairwen, only seen her in the corridors and knew her name from common friends and acquaintances, but a jam session seemed as good a time as any to get to know a person. And if Julie was joking, well...Derf had not picked up on that at all. "Will do," he chuckled, ruffling his hand through his straw colored hair. It also helped that Julie was smiling, something he had not seen too much of recently, so it made him a bit more inspired to act upon things.

Much had happened since the pathways, you know?

That carefree form of hair ruffling slowed and soon his fingers were moving a bit sluggishly through his locks, more combing than ruffling. "Yeah..." he mumbled. The detention itself wasn't what bothered him, but he was mostly trying not to dwell on things. As best as a fretting Hufflepuff could manage, which was to say that he was failing miserably. "There were...a lot of little things and missteps...but what made him ultimately ask me to turn the badge in was when I defended myself over him calling me entitled. Told him I reckoned he ought to get to know me before he made such a claim. Which, well, suppose is a bit entitled on its own...you could argue...but the context he was using it in was implying that I was being difficult on purpose. Trying to be rebellious when...really...I was just being unobservant and assumed wrongly on a few things..." He glanced over at the Slytherin. "Detention isn't...so bad. I get to clean and organize this one room that is loaded with old artifacts, tomes, and grimoires...so it's kinda more exciting than a punishment. Even with my doing things the muggle way." And, well, him enjoying it and not letting them GET to him with this punishment was sort of his way of rebelling when you really got to thinking about it. Same sort of way he wouldn't let S.O.R.E nor the physical forms of punishment upset him.
