Flourishing his wand at one of the remaining red caps in their proximity, Derf cast a surprisingly accurate Stupefy at the creature and struck it right between the eyes before finishing the job with another Banishing Charm. How many had there been around them? That was probably something he should have been a bit more actively paying attention to and HAD recalled prior to his Shield Charm going up. Complacency in safety, perhaps?
Though he did not have time to linger too much on counting as one of his first year companions got to work. "Nice one, Lucas!" he chirped, offering the boy two thumbs up and a grin. Thankfully unaware to the inner thoughts of the younger Gryffindor, or perhaps unfortunately because now he couldn't really do or say anything about it, he instead trained his bright blues back to their surroundings and any wandering red caps.
Which, well, it seemed they had accumulated a few more pounding on his shield angrily and...well...he almost felt pity for the things on their lack of self preservation, you know? With so many spells, untrained and not, flying about and their companions being hurtled backward by all sorts of magical methods...well...he would have kinda hoped they would retreat.
Still, not wanting to risk anyone else being bitten or worse, he gave his wand another twirl and sent a few more packing.
