astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Derf was too focused on trying to communicate with Picketta to really notice that they had been joined by anyone else...but the bowtruckle certainly took note. Her cute little leafy pigtails twitched and her adorable little chatterings of her teeth grew more rabid and menacing. At first Derf was clueless to her changes, wondering if perhaps he had said something wrong in his bowtruckle when he heard the words of one of his NEW housemates - Maddie Kemp if he remembered her Sorting correctly WHICH he was fairly certain he did.
"Picketta...stop that," he fussed at the bowtruckle as her long twigy fingers began to twitch and make movements towards the first year. Which only made the creature's clicks and chirps more vicious sounding. "Now that's just rude!" Sighing, Derf turned to look at Maddie properly. "Sorry about her...she is just...super protective of me. I'll try to make sure she doesn't lash out and attack you...but it would help if you took a step back..."
There was no real time to answer the Hufflepuff's questions as Emmeline appeared, bringing another bright smile to Derf's face. "Hey Emmeline. Hiya Sapphire," he greeted with a little finger wiggling at the creature. "Oh, this is Maddie," he nodded sagely.
And once again Picketta looked less than pleased at the appearance of yet another girl in close proximity to her Home Tree.
