What could go wrong?
Well. The headmaster was asking the self proclaimed conspiracy theorist of Hogwarts with that one. From the various creatures that lived in these sorts of conditions to a sudden torrential downpour, there were literally endless possibilities as to what could go wrong. Though Derf had to admit that the headmaster holding his lantern gave off a very vivid image of a hinkypunk, as Bel had pointed out earlier and was likely why many seemed stuck on that answer. There were also kappas to consider in these conditions, which was the second creature to pop into Derf's mind as he looked around.
Though, if he was being honest, his true distraction was in the way that his feet were sinking into the mud. So he took a moment to tug and pull his feet free. Maybe he ought to step in place a bit to try and keep himself from sinking? "Given visibility and the terrain like some have mentioned..." the 17-year-old began upon raising his hand. "....I reckon the risk of losing items is pretty high. Like...if you don't perform a Gripping Charm on your wand hand, well, you could drop is and it will just get suck in the mud somewhere you can't see it. Which would then make you pretty defenseless against all those creatures that others brought up too."
And, well, to tack on to Zoryn's bit about ruining shoes...Derf's shoe popped right off when he moved to tug his other leg free from the mud. So, well, there was a visual aid to his answer?
