.... Coming over from the Hufflepuff table - wait...had that been Toddles just now crawling...never mind - Derf's baby blues scanned its occupants for the younger girl he had heard earlier proclaiming the toad to be hers. Coming to a stop in front of her, the seventh year gingerly held the toad up with his still very much muddied up hands and a warm smile on his chiseled features. "Is this your toad?" he asked gently. "I found them hopping around outside the castle walls. Reckon they were looking for you." And heading towards the Black Lake and then she likely never would have seen it again. But, you know, he was getting good at not rambling so much now. Also reckoned that saying that would make her cry and he really did not fancy upsetting her further. Losing track of a familiar was rough enough as it was.
His briefly glanced around the rest of the table, an urge to mingle with some of his friends here rather prominent if he was being honest. Also, was Zoryn just being her usual dose of dramatic with the screech? Or did he need to be genuinely concerned?
Also...Toddles? What was that house elf up to? He had entirely missed whatever had happened here earlier and only now caught up slipping under the Slytherin house table.
