There was a relief when Derf walked into the room and saw they were to be seated according to house. As far as he knew there was no drama or awkwardness between himself and any of his housemates, so at least he had a comfort in the safety that that provided. Ish. It also meant that there was the nagging urge to look at other house benches and knowing precisely where those were and just who would be under the banners.
Really, this was a term of no-win situations.
There was also a discomfort in the professor not being present - disillusioned somewhere, he imagined - and how it had a completely counterproductive message to send to students. How did you show respect, for example, if the professor wasn't present? Was it all a trap to try and lull them into a false sense of security? See who would and wouldn't break rules with their taradiddle? Sweet Scamander, everyone was on edge already as it was.
So, upon taking a looooooooong and deep breath, Derf found a spot along the bench and waited while trying to settle the...something brewing in his stomach while offering small smiles to both Daisy and Arthuria.
