Still admiring the snake a bit, the sixth year found himself shaking his head. He was just a bit too engrossed in the creature and the relief in knowing that his private lessons were not coming to an end to catch on to any of the more sinister tones to the man's speech. "Nah, that's my own self study," he explained. "Reptiles and amphibians have always been my favorite so I did loads of self study before Hogwarts." He really wanted to ask if he could hold her, but that permission was not the sort that the professor could give - that would be up to the python herself and, well, he was more than willing to have her slither along his arm and stuff...
"Great! Thanks!" he chirped again, assuming that mention of a proper education meant within the frame that Derf specifically needed. It was not the same as everyone else, after all. There was no need for the smile alone to be misinterpreted because everything up to this point had already been done so, the optimism briefly returning to the Hufflepuff. With the pattern of the other replacements from what he had experienced...it was only a matter of strictness and attention to rules. Less informal interactions and such...and for the sake of his future in magizoology, he was more than capable of keeping his posture straight and stuff. "See you then, Professor Petrov."
And then, without another word - because he assumed that meant he was to leave - the Hufflepuff turned and began making his way back to the castle.
That hadn't gone so bad.
