Adi was obviously unaware of the wordless Shield Charm which had been sent between them but he was aware of his fist making contact with Henric's nose and then the blood spurting everywhere. The moment he saw the red substance, he regretted his actions. Not that he had time to dwell on that because Mr Groundskeeper happened.

A prefect? GREAT HIPPOGRIFFS! He had forgotten he was a student leader when he got all caught up in this. Adi's dark eyes were still fixed on Henric as he took a small step towards the boy. He barely registered the loss of points. "He's right,'' Adi said to McLeod as he put the tiny amount of ego he had and crossed over to his friend. "If he weren't being the world's greatest... never mind.'' Merlin! Henric's nose was really bleeding! Like HEAVILY. "It's really my fault,'' he continued, avoiding everyone's eyes but focusing on Henric's nose. "Episkey!" The Silent Healing Charm was cast as his wand was pointed at Henric. Did the nose mend? "I'm sorry, Henny.'' No, he wasn't going to justify what he had done. This was one of those rare moments when he lost control of his emotions. And yes, he was calling the Hufflepuff by his nickname again.

Adi finally looked at the Groundskeeper. "I lost control of myself. I'm also sorry for causing a ruckus. This is all on me,'' was all he said. He wasn't ashamed to admit when he was wrong. But gosh, what must his Veela girl be thinking of him?!
