............what?

But...hadn't he? The professor had asked for an instance of usage in history and stuff...and Derf was linking it to alchemy and a very real science - which said something about his opinion on accuracy in a way. It was an answer and an opinion all wrapped up into one! How...what?

But before Derf could really say anything else on the subject, a FAR more pressing matter was raised. His quick glance around the classroom after returning had clearly been naive and misguided, seeing some people sitting and his brain filling in the rest. What was worse...he had gotten Penny in trouble as well. So rather than get right to the push ups - which he had no problem with and absolutely refused to let physical exertion take on a negative tone, the Hufflepuff opted to dig himself an even deeper hold.

After raising his hand to speak - you know, don't speak unless spoken too and all that.

"Sir, I apologize..." Sorta. For the sitting at least. And his tone was perfectly sincere - not to mention embarrassed. "...but if I hadn't encouraged Penny to sit then she would still be standing...." Remove him from the equation and the results would be different. And no, he wasn't trying to be a martyr here. Honest to goodness his conscious could not take Penny taking the bull blow of his actions. As for the detention well, that didn't sting as badly as being called entitled. Of all things. Though there was no way to respond to that without coming across entitled, the word was a true no win situation except to fall in line which, well, guess this Hufflepuff had become a bit of a wild Aethonan stallion since the inferi attack last term and was far from being broken. "....and you should get to know me first before assuming I am entitled, sir."

Which he reckoned serving detention would accomplish just fine.

Glancing feebly out of the corner of his eye at Penny in attempt at sending her an apologetic look, the sixth year dropped to the ground and began his set of 25 - arms flexing as his head looked straight ahead at the professors feet with his body in a perfectly straight line. Then it was up and down in a somewhat rapid succession.

As for the answer to the man's question...all Derf really know about was the focus needed - which a few had mentioned including an almost meditative state. Which, well, Derf was somewhat in right now himself as he looked straight ahead and focused on his push ups. Maybe if he looked beyond everything and into the flames he would see his own doom given how this class was going for him.

Also...he didn't see you there Zoryn, but he would feel even worse if you got in trouble because of him as well.
