Feeling both lighter and heavier these days, Derf was relieved to be making his patrols alone. It was a bit selfish on his part to assign himself that but also entirely necessary. Though he wished he had thought things all the way through so he wasn't doing patrols near the Slytherin common room.
Ruffling his hair as he walked, his blue eyes peeked up from his shoes when he heard voices up ahead and subtly quickened his pace until he came upon Tori, Patrick, and the Charms professor all gathered around...
"Heeeeeey, I remember you," he smiled as he bent over slightly so his six-something foot frame wasn't towering over the pink ball of fluff. "I saw you at the feast. Matthew must have lost track of you." Because he was still under the impression that this pygmy puff belonged to that Hufflepuff. Only, upon closer inspection, it was finally apparent to the seventh year that this was no pygmy puff. Or maybe it was a new sort of hybrid puffskein?
Right. There were people here.
"Uh...I mean...hey, professor. Tori. Patrick," he greeted them belated. "I reckon this belongs to one of my housemates. Saw him with it at the feast." Still keeping himself at eye level with the creature, less threatening that way, Derf cupped his hands and held them close to Tori's so it could crawl into the Hufflepuff's should it choose. "Let's get you back to your person, yeah?"
