As soon as he saw Dobby die in Harry's arms, Eli began to cry.
Demetri continued watching the movie. But when Eli broke down in sobs, Demetri saw the other movie-goers' heads turn in their direction.
He whispered, "Hey, it's okay."
But it wasn't okay, thought Eli. All Dobby wanted was to be a free elf. It wasn't fair that he died.
When Eli's crying didn't stop, Demetri whispered again, "Everybody's looking."
That got his attention. Eli saw the eyes in the dark staring at him. Covering his face, he sunk into his seat, ashamed at being such a softie.
