Wimbourne Wasps? Really?

Though Derf kept his opinion to himself there. Quidditch was quidditch, after all, and what was best were well played matches. Though he had not been to one professionally for a long while now. Save for a few that his U-17 team had gone to together for training purposes and bonding. That had been ACE. He sorta...wondered if they could get Hogwarts to take a trip for one...but he wasn't too terribly optimistic in that working out considering the shift in focus this term.

And then class began and...Derf was a little surprised to hear the tone of the groundskeeper. Honestly...S.O.R.E wasn't THAT bad. And exercise was, well, really good for you. What was worse was the punishment in class in the form of exercise. S.O.R.E wasn't a punishment, it was an opportunity. Everything Professor Fletcher did though...that was a punishment.

....and speaking of punishment.

"Huh?" he blinked at the Potions Master, the jar still in his hand. Wait...what? They were SUPPOSED to grab the jars though!? Still, Derf did not question his Head of House, a man who had earned his respect a while ago, and promptly returned the jar from whence it had come before levitating his cauldron once more and stopped where the man had indicated. Okay...but what had he done this time?! He glanced over his shoulder, half hoping Abey would at least follow along because, well, it was tradition by this point that they suffer this subject together.

The sixth year then had a bit of a struggle, but still managed to listen dutifully as the groundskeeper continued speaking and...well... Derf was a little relieved to hear the topic. They hadn't had any healing sort of lectures since Healer Reed had left and Derf had found those very practical and informative. Not to mention real life application and almost on a daily basis. After all, this WAS Hogwarts, and he was quickly reminded of the quick thinking of Bel during the aftermath of the inferi invasion on his own broken limbs. Enough so that he tried to catch her eye to offer a smile - though he would likely be the only one between the two to understand why.

Hand up, Derf offered his two knuts on the subject. "Um...well...after a few of the U-17 practices and trainings...some of us were encouraged to take ice baths for a bit of, um...cryotherapy," he began. "Especially the beaters because of all the weight training. Said to help you recover faster and reduce muscle pain and soreness. Like...in general icing injuries and stuff helps things. I prefer using a bag of frozen peas myself. Molds to your muscles and stuff nicely as it warms from your body heat."
