She'd been baking like a maniac yesterday... just so she could offer things around. She was going to keep most of it for the train but... "Here." She slid the little box of pizza shortbread across the table with a softer smile. She knew he was dreading the future... it sucked.

Euh...
Seriously?
Like, was he THAT transparent?
Smiles. He was smiling. Y'know.. acting normal... yet Derry AND Addi (who he barely knew), could SEE the cracks.
Inwardly cursing himself for being the
CRAPPEST Slytherin
EVER to have graced these halls, he smiled slightly to try and cover his misery. No--actually, this was good. If Derry had gone all..
'ooh, are you okay..' 'ooh let me hug it away', he probably would have started crying and never stopped. This. THIS he could handle. He could keep it together if things were kept light-hearted.
And 'Sourpuss..' He glanced at Addi..
“Biting's not always bad.” A little shrug and a little smile.. but his tone was quieter even than his usual mild mannered way of speaking.
Derry was being sweet now.... and he looked down at the box and--
*deep breath*--he was fine, yea.. fine. He reached for Derry's hand as she slid the box towards him, raising his eyes to hers and squeezing her hand gently. He knew what was in the box without even opening it.
“..Thanks, Derry.” He said softly, his eyes fixed on her ...And he wasn't referring to only the shortbread.
