Adi shook his head at Benny. You didn't need to say thank you for that jerk, boyfriend. Really, he was glad Benny was there because look at how much he had helped in calming him down.

The Puff flat out ignored his fellow Badger as he adjusted himself back next to Ilia in her curled up form, taking her hand. He didn't bother to point out that he also levitated Henric for fun for two reasons: One- he was trying to keep his rising temper in check and two- his Veela girl was sobbing. "I know it's not,'' he told her as he stroked her hand. "But it'll all work out, you'll see.''

And would Henric shut up? -___-

Adi could not hold himself back anymore. "Now you've come to your senses?'' he asked, still holding Ilia's hand. He released it now to climb to his feet, turning to face his not- at- the- moment- friend. "You made her cry FOR DAYS, YOU DIMWIT! YOU RAN OFF HOME AND LEFT HER ALONE ALL BECAUSE OF THOSE STUPID THOUGHTS YOU WERE HAVING!"

Yep. Shouting was happening because the seventh year was THAT angry at Henric for hurting Ilia. He had seen her cry loads of times, he had been the one comforting her and trying to help her keep it together, he had been the one hurting just as much as she had been.

"YOUR SKULL IS JUST TOO THICK TO GET ANYTHING THROUGH! IT WAS POINTLESS FOR US TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR BACKGROUND DOESN'T MATTER TO ANY OF US!'' Without further ado, Adi raised his left fist, pulled it back then punched Henric straight on the nose with all the strength he could muster.
