He felt the stone walls of Hogwarts starting to cave in on him as everything seemed so entirely exciting and yet so oddly overwhelming and out of place. If he would have guessed he would be at this position a year ago -- he would have thought he was absolutely bonkers. However, there were small things that reigned him in like a beacon to who he was. One of those things was the wonderful Kat. She reminded him of a mouse and that wasn't a bad thing. Derek had a thing for rodents as it was. Dragon being his favorite pet rat. Kat was like a petite, sweeter, and squeakier version of his best pet friend.<br/><br/>And just like that--he heard her sweet voice and her nickname for him 'Apple'.<br/><br/>A smirk spread across his lips. He was unsure how this came to be in the first place, but he liked the nickname apple. It made him feel like he had a nice ass. His back straightened and for a moment he felt proud of who he was. It only took six years, but he was finally coming out of his shell at Hogwarts.<br/><br/>"Kat, my darling," Derek said in a posh and overtly fake voice when he leaned into her kiss on his cheek with a wide smile. Then he raised his arm out to give her petite body a hug before she sat down. The two were an unlikely pair of friends, and if it wasn't for their friendship -- it would have been physically awkward to hug Kat due to their very drastic differences in their body shape. "I had thought you would come visit me during the arrival of all these new students," Derek said scanning the crowd. Looking for Audrey, but not seeing her yet. It made him feel a bit better. He wasn't sure how long he'd be able to keep this on the tip of his tongue. However, it had been too long since he caught up with his good friend, and she was always such a fun, flirtatious thing.<br/><br/>"When are you going to find a new nickname for me anyway, kitty?" Derek said with his own pet name. His fingers reaching to her thin sides to give her a playful, friendly pinch. "And what too you so long to find me? I've been... so lost in all of these thoughts, mate," Derek said shaking his head. Running his fingers through his messy curly locks of hair.
