Henric was still trying to grab hold onto anything while suspended in mid-air. Fortunately, Adi came back to his senses and moved him up onto the platform where he had a higher chance of surviving. However, he was carelessly dropped as if he was nothing more than a sack of potatoes to Adi. ”Ooph.” His feet planted onto the floorboard first but quickly managed to break his fall using the proper technique he used for his practice in the martial arts. Thank merlin, his parents decided to sign him up for judo or this fall could have ended badly.

Benny was by his side the moment he started to stand up on his feet again.”Thanks Benny,but I’m f-fine.” He didn’t have any bad feelings towards the Gryffindor anymore, after this he would treat him nicely from now on. Honestly saying, he deserved a hero’s medal for practically saving his life. Henric brushed himself off and glared towards Adi. “If you have something to say to me, just say it. I’m here for llia, please don’t make me deal with you too cos’ I do not appreciate you levitating me every bloody time you’re not happy with me,“ his tone darkened slightly. Glancing to the side, he finally saw her. His beautiful bestfriend crying because of him. Yes, it was all his fault for hurting her. Yes, he was a dimwit for lying and rejecting her. Yes, his ego had got the better of him. Yes, he was a git for leaving her but he did it because of his fear of losing the one person he loved and respect.

Those past agonising weeks he had been through, Henric felt incredibly lost in touch with himself because he kept missing her to the point that he couldn’t put up his façade any longer. He realised that now and he wished to salvage whatever left in their broken relationship. “llia…I will do anything...please say that you'll forgive me….please don’t turn away from me, I know…you probably hate me...I know you don't want to see me, but I can’t bare the thought of losing you…” This was it…the final blow to the heart. He had to tell her now before it was too late!
