Unless the man was meaning to imply that HE was the harbinger of good travels and everything. Which, well, the Hufflepuff was HOPING was true.
Once at the boats, Derf's brain shifted into helpful badger mode rather than concerning himself - maybe it was because he hadn't been able to get the first year boat assistance out of his system - and had been scampering back and forth helping his classmates here and there find their own boats while ENTIRELY neglecting to find himself one. And it was only at the last second that he remembered this, the intention of riding in one with Chloe, only to find her boat full riiiiiiiiight in that moment.
Well....fudge pops.
Ruffling his hair, Derf held his hand up in the air and waved it slightly. You know, to...er...try and help people see him better? "GOT ROOM FOR FOUR MORE PEOPLE HERE!" he called out, his right foot placed inside it to help hold it steady.
Daisy was looking for an available boat when she heard
Derf's voice. She carefully boarded the boat as she noticed that Derf had just spotted
Chloe in a seemingly fully occupied boat.
"Sorry that you couldn't join Chloe, Derf," she said in a sympathetic voice.
