On the one hand, Derf’s possibly over the top statements hadn’t surprised Stasya one bit. She knew him, plus her own thoughts at what she’d overheard before he had directed his words toward her and Chloe had somewhat put her into a stunned position. She’d known she didn’t trust the replacement CoMC professor, but the idea that he’d gleefully murder the poor bowtruckles just to prove a point was terrifying. Derf definitely hadn’t deserved that, and part of her wanted him to know that. While another part of her was back to desperately wanting to ask him if he’d seen Dobby or Albus lately because she would be seeing red if either of them had been hurt. Along with most of the winged horses and Picketta, even though she still suspected his bowtruckle didn’t entirely trust her. With how Aster’s fate was affecting them, she knew it could be worse.

For all she knew, it was worse, and Chloe’s reasoning only barely registered in the tall Gryffindor’s mind as she’d silently helped her off the ground. Except for the part about someone helping them do what was right, which obviously was helping the creatures all escape TORTURE and possibly an underserving death.

The reckless side she rarely tapped was tempted to say that Professor Petrov deserved to feel whatever he’d done to poor Aster. The details didn’t matter, and she still refused to get close enough to peer inside the box. She’d much rather remember the bowtruckle as she was…and releasing the barn creatures into the forest was definitely NOT a better alternative. “Letting defenseless creatures hide where they could get attacked by an acromantula or a band of red caps or any of the other Dark creatures in the forest isn’t happening,” she established, trailing off as Professor Marchand arrived and picked up on the exact same question that had gone through her mind before Derf had affirmed it. That wasn’t helping her state of mind either, although the fact it seemed like Noble agreed with her on something both surprised her and comforted her. Sort of. She’d still sort of unconsciously moved a little bit closer to her own Head of House before she’d said anything more. She trusted him to do what was right, at least.

“We have proof. We have Aster, and like Chloe said, we have Derf’s memories. Plus, we’ve seen that they aren’t afraid of hurting us, so why do we need any other proof that things aren’t right.”
