Still, Curt seemed to be pretty hurt by Dior. Especially how he kept mentioning that he was over it and not wanting to think about it. Derek wouldn't press further though. He tossed the bit about Dior aside, he'd deal with her later in his own way. However, he hadn't decided how he wanted to approach her about it yet... if at all. As like Curt, Derek was having his own issues with Dior that came from this summer. He wasn't sure if it was time to rock the boat and press Dior further. This was her mess and she was going to lay in it. It was unfortunate that this was one of the first times he wasn't going to try and stand there with his sister and help her. He had done it for so long, but he needed that distance. Dior did too. His eyes went distant for a second in thought, but then shot back to Curt when he heard the topic shift.<br/><br/>These details about Joanna were pretty amazing to him.<br/><br/>Like old times Derek smirked and leaned in to get all the dirty details. Curt had always had much more luck in the ladies department than Derek had. He was so naturally wild and not afraid to be exactly who he wanted to be. It was why Derek was drawn to Curt in the first place. Derek, on the other had, was buried in a pile of secrets and was looking to change that this year. To brush away that awkwardness, anxiety, and really die into the adult that he was going to grow into. No longer being held captive to his family, in so many ways. He needed to become his own Derek Darley. And bloody hell, Curt was going to be there along the way if he liked it or not!<br/><br/>"Water under the bridge, mate," Derek said with a grin listening to Joanna and how they met. However, he cocked a brow when he mentioned they were just fuck buddies and she would probably be over a beast of a Durmstrang bear whenever they finally ventured there. "I can't imagine seeing her utterly starkers. Good on you, mate," Curt finally ended with his own little boyhood fantasies of seeing a wild redhead like her.<br/><br/>"I think Audrey is more than hot. I think she's bloody beautiful," Derek began with a smile. "You see, I took her on this date and while I'm too much of a gentleman to tell you all the details," Derek smirked and raised his chin. Towering over Curt's shorter frame now. "All I will say is that I'm not looking to just fuck around with her. I think she's a proper woman and I want to do good by her. We're not in our beginning years at Hogwarts anymore. It's time to..." Derek was beginning to sound like his Father. An older man who realized it was finally time to grow up.<br/><br/>"Well... you know," Derek ended it that way, shrugging his shoulders and hoping Curt caught his drift. Then he switched back to the topic of Audrey, like a lovesick puppy. "If I play my cards right, maybe I can convince her to be my girl. I think she'd like that too..." Derek said. Still finding it astonishing that someone like Audrey was interested in him.
