If Derf could have had things his way...he would have preferred that his dummy be in the form of a creature - kneazle or crup perhaps - since that was more in accordant to what he wanted to do in life. That and, er, seeing a body lady on the table with open wounds and such was a bit triggering - all things considered. Thankfully, unlike in his second year, he was able to somewhat separate the two things. This was not the aftermath of the inferi and he was safe. Though he did have to go through his list inside his head on re-centering himself. That is...until he heard Jessa coolly command someone to hold their arms out and his head did a sloooooooow turn towards her.
And NOW his stomach dropped a little, his mind unfortunately spiraling to other things that she animated and .......... reanimated. Derf was mostly tolerable of the whole thing and had even befriended her kneazles. But...in light of last term...he just did not see how it was right for necromancy to continue within the walls of Hogwarts. Or, honestly, why it had been okay in the first place.
Eyes wide and staring at his friend, Derf had to start over with his list and struggled a bit this time as he forced his face back to the dummy he needed to work on. Somewhere in between everything managing to drop his wand, so he quickly bent down to pick that up before returning his eyes to the dummy to assess everything. A few deep breaths later and the Hufflepuff was diligently casting Episkey's along the small gashes and fingers bend at awkward angles - the popping noise they made as they returned to their natural position being a little nauseating and honestly reminded him of the noise his wrists had made while at the mercy of the inferius' grip.
....could he have a creature dummy?
