Sure, he had crushes in the past at Hogwarts! It wasn't like Derek was also a fool to charm or seduction for that matter. The truth was that he simply liked Audrey, and she was so different from the other girls he liked in the past. One of the only people that he truly felt actually expressed what was on her mind, even if it was buried between layers of sarcasm. It was like a breath of fresh air. However, his heartstrings twisted him so much on the inside that he often felt like he didn't know what to do with his hands. For this reason he was stuffing his face full of boiled potato after boiled potato. Until his mouth was utterly dry that he needed to wash it down with pumpkin juice.<br/><br/>Derek nodded his head to the comment about dying. She had a point... dying sucked. He should probably avoid it too if he intended on hitting first base with Audrey. Another gulp went down his throat, but he was feeling especially thirsty.<br/><br/>'<em>Am I gonna need to, like, rent a Cheer leading costume and some pom pom’s and cheer for you from the sidelines?</em>' Audrey said. His eyes grew wide inside of the cup. He thought of Audrey there in a cute, tight top. Cheering him on with a smile and kicking her legs up in the air with a short skirt that may even flash her panties--<br/><br/>Derek gulped and suddenly spewed pumpkin juice back into his cup. Wiping it from his chin and coughing into the sleeve of his wrinkled jack. "Wh...wha..." he tried to catch his breath, but he kept coughing. Boy, Audrey was really throwing him through the ringer. He was happy he was sitting down, because these new jackets weren't as forgiving at hiding his standing ovation for Audrey as their old robes were. "...<em>ahem</em>... What I mean to say is that would be very sweet of you, if you did that. If I so happened to get picked..." Derek thought about it again. He wasn't a particularly well performing student, and never really saw a situation where herbology and potion making could bring great wizards down. He had always been an 'assistant' kinda guy. It even showed in his friendships with Curt and the shadow he often walked around in with Dior.<br/><br/>Maybe that's why he liked Audrey so much. She made him feel really special. Even that comment made him feel like she put him on a pedestal. Suddenly Derek turned to Audrey and something clicked in his head. Was it that Audrey, just maybe, was into him in the same way he was into her?<br/><br/>It caused a dumbfounded look to come across his face. The look carried over into Audrey calling him out about Dior and he shrugged his shoulders. There was no way Audrey knew what was actually going on between Derek and Dior, and there was no way he was going to let something like that get in the way of what he could have with Audrey. Things had been a little rough with Dior ever since the summer. Maybe it was the universe telling him it was time to reset. Move on. Go on a date with Audrey.<br/><br/>"What are you doing tonight?" Derek said wiping his mouth again and deciding he was done with potatoes. Eating around Audrey was a choking hazard, and truthfully she satisfied him well enough. "Legit, you may not get to speak to the devil, but I can show you a few cool things that I'd like to consider my personal Hell," Derek said wiggling his shoulders in an awkward way of trying too hard. Noticing that trying to look laid back and cool just made him look moronic. He called himself out, and stopped.<br/><br/>"And... it would be really nice to hangout with you alone," Derek added. However, the comment was selfish. Mostly because he wanted Audrey alone so he could maybe brew some chemistry between them, and also because he didn't need the prying eyes of others to watch.<br/>
