Derf was hesitating, and procrastinating, pulling an arrow from his quiver to see what answer it provided and was quite relieved when the professor himself was offering some up close demonstration on how to hold the bow and arrow when the time came. A few feet, right, er...maybe he could handle that? Nodding along as the man spoke, he tried his best to look like he had retained all of that information - because the man HAD made it clear time and time again that he did not like repeating himself and they were to get things correct the FIRST time - or had that been the Headmaster on that latter bit? - but he was relieved when the man offered him further assistance should it be needed. If nothing else, it was a small affirmation that he was actually here to educate them...you know?

"Thank you, professor," he said with a small smile. He would give it his best effort first but, well, he reckoned that he would ultimately be calling upon the man in the end. It was no beater's bat and bludger, after all.

But now back to this....first method before he completely failed at the actual firing. Giving his quiver a few more shakes to shuffle the arrows around a bit, the sixth year plucked one from the bunch and unfolded the piece of parchment there to see that it was...blank. Perhaps the most unhelpful of the options, honestly. It was another no answer, non decision, just like he had been the past...3 terms was it now?

Sighing, he returned that arrow to the quiver and picked up his bow and started out just working on his grip there. No arrows just yet, but he was imagining that he had one. Sorta like practicing a wand movement without the incantation. In this case the bow was his wand and the arrow the incantation.
