Henry calmed as quickly as he had become enraged, he looked down upon the small book in his hands and realized that his knuckles were white from clutching the book with such force it had bent ever so slightly. He bent the little book a bit the other way to try and right the damage, then tucked the small book away into his bag once more. He returned his gaze to Drew, who still hadn't said a word, and steadied himself further. That was the first time in seven years he had lost his temper at anything, much less an offhand kind of comment from a fellow Hogwartian.
"I think I've bothered you quite long enough." said Henry calmly and evenly, turning slightly as if to leave "I'll be off then, shall I?"

"I'm not bothered," Drew answered back with a shrug and a small crooked smile. He wasn't sure if it was such a great idea to let Henry loose on the school if he was that upset and Drew had nothing to do while he was waiting for Snow. "Unless you have somewhere to be..."
Of course, Henry seemed a little calmer now and Drew wondered what had happened to the Gryffindor to bring up such anger. Drew wasn't sure he wanted to ask and bring it all up again.
"The Deva's only been active here for a few years, but my grandad says they've been stirring things up in the states for a heck of a whole lot longer than that," Drew murmured. "It's not going to be an easy task to stop them considering people have been trying in the US for ages."

Henry paused for a moment, looking over his shoulder for a fraction of a moment.
"Your grandad's right." said Henry, his voice had become dark and cold.
Again, the flash of green, the skull and serpent which glowed in his mind's eye for a fraction of a moment before fading away into nothingness. He cast his eyes down at the ground for a moment, then straitened his cloak and bag, pushing his glasses further up his nose with the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
"See you later." said Henry without explanation. He walked down the hall and round the corner, heading for Gryffindor tower, and more importantly, the midday peace and quiet of his dormitory. He didn't bother to look back as he walked away; He didn't need more reminding of the horrors of the Deva.

The Gryffindor boy had a lot of rage and while anger could be a good motivator when it came to working towards change, if it turned to vengance, it was counter productive. Drew had been there and while he wasn't about to downplay what had happened, he wasn't about to give the Deva that kind of power over his emotions.
In control and with a plan. It was the only way he could hope to change the way things were going.
"Later..." Drew answered back, frowning slightly as he watched Henry leave. The Ravenclaw was worried about the other boy and hoped the guy didn't do anything rash. That would just make things bad for everyone.
