Helios's brother was murdered by the King, if anyone had a reason not to give information to the Vythízomai that would be it. Draco didn’t know this of course, so he was looking at the shorter man like a wolf, ready to rip his throat out. Hermione gave a reply of assent that she hoped was placating, as Draco in his overly-protective nature had already begun to advance on Helios, backing him down the stairs before Hermione could grab hold of his sleeve. "If there’s anything I can do to make it up to you –" He began, but Draco was hastening his exit quite quickly, taking imposing steps down between Helios, blocking him from Hermione’s view.
