A boring dull day turns into a good day?

Kiara walked down the sloping lawns of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardly heading towards the lake. She knew it was hogsmeade weekend but she was doing her homework when the carriage left so she missed it much to her dismay. Cursing to herself she wrapped her Gryffindor scarf around her as the wind blew through her curly brown hair. It was rather chilly even with the sun out some it was still cold. After a few minutes Kiara fianlly reached the lake and sighed.

Of course it wasn't the ice rink in Hogsmeade but she guess it would just have to do for now seeing how she missed the hogsmeade trip. She really didn't like skating with other people anyways for she didn't like huge crowded places with alot of people. Don't get Kiara wrong she loved people but she just hated being in crowded places. As she gotten out her wand she flicked them at her shoes as they changed into ice skates. As she guided out to the frozen lake she started twirling around the frozen lake happily.

Doing a few tricks and spins Kiara stopped in tracks as she thought she heard a twig snap not to far from her. "Hello anyone there?"Kiara asked softly as she looked at the place she heard the twig snap but didn't see anyone. Shrugging to herself she went onto skating around the lake like nothing happened. As her hair whipped around her Kiara giggled happily to herself as she started skating backwards. Kiara loved winter time so many things you could do and it was so beautiful.

The wind blew hard as Atticus Bletchley walked outside to the grounds from the Slytherin dungeon. It was another Hogsmeade weekend, not that Atticus cared much about going to the small village. He really just preferred to stay at the castle rather than waste his time fighting with others in his way while he was there. It was much more calm when he was in the castle, no crowds anywhere, thpugh he did miss the attention the girls gave him when they were throwing themselves at him. He smirked at his thoughts about the girls and ran his hand through his silky brown hair.

Today instead of dressing like he usually does, because there was no one to show off too, Atticus had simply put on a pair dress pants and a long sleeve dress shirt that was coveted by a leather jacket. Not too fancy right? He made sure his hair was clean and tamed and that he looked his best, even though he was alone. There was, after all, a chance that someone else was still in the castle and he would not under any circumstances have that image ruined.

As he approached the lake, the teenager found his gaze resting on a girl skating on the lake. His eyebrow raised in something that could be called curiosity, and his pace began to quicken so he could get a better look. On his way down closer to the skating girl, he stepped on a twig and snapped it. Cursing a bit under his breath, Atticus hide behind a near by tree to avoid being seen by the girl. When she went back to skating, he looked out from behind the tree and stared at her. Getting a good look at her as she continued to skate, Atticus found that she wasn't all that bad-looking. The only problem was her house, from the scarf around her neck, he could tell she was a Gryffindor.

Kiara knew that she was acting parnoid but she had a gut feeling she was still being watched by someone much to her dismay. Sighing to herself she skated over towards the shore and flicked her wand at her ice skates as they turned back into her back boots. Grabbing her bookbag she left underneath the tree Kiara started walking towards the castle but stopped in her tracks as she seen a boy underneath a tree. "Um... you weren't watching me were you?"Kiara asked him softly. "Cause if you were you know it's creepy for you to be watching me."said Kiara simply as she walked pass him.

Kiara had seen him around the school, almost every girl in Hogwarts was falling for his charm but Kiara wasn't going to be one of those girls. As she walked up towards the castle she wrapped her gray jacket over her shivered a bit as she done so. "Dang it should of brought a bigger jacket."said Kiara cursing to herself. Kiara was wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a gray jacket over with her gryffindor scarf with black boots and pants with a mini bookbag. Rolling her eyes at him Kiara continued back up to the castle to read her book she had in her bookbag.

Kiara wasn't about to hang around some creep who was watching her skate on the frozen lake of Hogwarts. As she turned around her hazel eyes narrowed at him. "If it was you that was watching me why were you watching me?"Kiara asked him softly. "Surely don't you have any other girls to stock and watch?"Kiara asked him rolling her eyes. Kiara hated players but she wasn't for sure if he was one, but he was sure a charmer from what she seen around the castle. Kiara had to admit he was cute, but it took more then looks and charms to get Kiara's attention.

The wind his face as he turned back around once the girl stopped skating. Atticus stood there casually with his foot on the trunk of the tree. As the girl stopped in front of him, he cast his gaze downward as if not noticing her. "Now, why would I be doing that?" he asked her, his voice clear and smooth. "No, I just got here." he put it simply. "And even if I was watching you, what's so bad about it?" he asked her raising his eyebrow. "It's not like it was a bad sight." he finished with a charming tone. When she passed by him, he stared at the ground. He thought that just by looking at him, she would be putty in his hands, but it appears as if not. His charm had never failed him and he refused to believe that it was happening now.

Even with all the girls that threw themselves at him, Atticus had yet to actually find one that interested him. Having all those girls was great, of course, but they didn't interest him. And he made it clear that he didn't like then, but they still did the same. No matter what he did or what he told them, they were always around him, maybe that was what made him so attractive to them, the fact that he was unattainable. That had never really crossed his mind, and now that he thought about it, it probably was the best reason to why he seemed so attractive, that and his looks. Although he hardly ever wanted to sound conceited, he had to admit as did most others that he was quite a handsome guy, and he definitely used that.

As the girl began to talk again, Atticus finally looked at her and he smiled a bit, though at her distance he doubted she could see it. He moved away from the tree and walked closer to her, hiding his smile. "I already told you, I was not watching you." he told her. When she asked if he didn't have any other girls to stalk and watch he gave an offended gasp. "I am no stalker. I can assure you of that." Atticus said smoothly. No one had ever called him a stalker or anything close to it, so he had actually taken some offense to that comment.

Kiara looked at him and shook her head and stopped and looked at him. "So why are you following me if you weren't watching me?"Kiara asked him softly. As he said he wasn't a stalker Kiara gave him a look of disbelief. "Hm... right, now if you don't mind I'm cold and I'm going back to my common room to enjoy a good book."said Kiara walking pass him again. Kiara knew she wasn't like the rest of the girls that threw themseleves all over him. Kiara thought it was stupid and pathetic of them when he obviously don't like them back.

It didn't take a genuis to figure that out, I mean if he did wouldn't he already have a girlfriend but now? Kiara didn't know and honestly she didn't want to know. There seem like there wasn't any boys that didn't take advantage of Kiara's shyness. "Why can't there be a nice boy who doesn't try to take advantage of me?"Kiara asked herself softly. Seem like every guy she met either one went out with her cause she was pretty or two went out with her because she shy unlike the other girls and they thought she'll be easy for them. Kiara had a bad last relationship due to that and she swore to herself never to fall in any boy trap again if she could help it.

Not really wanting to go back to the castle quite yet Kiara decided to sit in the courtyard and read her book she had in her bookbag. She knew she was cold and she needed to get back inside, but she been in the castle all week and it was starting to become a prison to her. As she gotten out her wand she melt all the snow off the bench and sat down and took her book out of her bookbag and started reading. If that boy followed her so be it, she wasn't worried about it anymore. Although she didnn't have boys follow her so this would be the first.

Atticus bit the inside of his lower lip in thought and he sighed. "Coincidence?" he said questioningly. He laughed a bit at his stupity and looked down at the ground. Almost unknowingly, he put on a pouty face when she said she was going back to her common room to read her book. "Why would you deny the world your beauty?" he asked charmingly. She really was cute, though coming from him, Atticus thought thay she would take it as him making fun of her. Though that was the last thing he was trying to do. Kind of weird since he was a Slytherin and they would do anything to make Gryffindors look bad or insult them.

He kind of liked the fact that she hadn't tried to throw herself all over him, yet. It was like a challenge, and he always enjoyed a good challenge. He was sure her question was a self asking one and he frowned a bit at what she asked herself. Seems that guys were always trying to take advantage of her and he couldn't help but feel bad for her. That must be the main reason why this girl hadn't done what all the other girls do when they're near him. He bit his lip again as he watched her go to the courtyard and he found himself following her there at a distance, as he thought about something.

Before anything, Atticus was taught to be a gentleman by his mother and father. So he felt like he had to wipe any bad image the girl had of him, if she even did have one. As she sat down on a bench, he stood by the tree hear the bench and looked up at the branches for a while. Remembering her saying something about bringing a larger coat, he figured she was cold and he took off the jacket he wore and put it over her shoulders before sitting down on a large rock next to the bench the girl. "Look whatever happened to you before is none of my business, but I'm not like that." he said without looking at her. "I'm not trying to take advantage of you. I have no intention of doing that." Atticus added, staring out into the distance as another strong breeze passed.

As Kiara felt something go over her shoulders she looked up and noticed he took off his jacket and gave it to her. "Um... thankyou, that was sweet you but you know your going to freeze and I don't want it to be because of me."said Kiara softly. Kiara looked at him and nodded. "I'm sorry for assuming that, it's just boys that usually come after is only in to take advantage of me."said Kiara softly. "I didn't mean to insult you or anything."said Kiara softly. "Oh so rude of me I'm Kiara, Kiara Lawrence."said Kiara softly as she stuck out her hand for him to shake.

As Kiara felt a breeze whip around them she shivered and pulled the jacket closer around her body trying to keep herself warm. As she seen girls coming down to the lake she sighed to herself and shook her head. "Here comes the drama."said Kiara softly as she seen them looking at Atticus like he was a peice of meant. "Oh serously get over youseleves!"said Kiara in annoyed voice rolling her eyes at the girls as they gave her a dirty look. "You want to go someplace else? I'm sure you don't want these girls drooling all over you."said Kiara softly as she put on his jacket all the way.

As the girls noticed she was wearing his jacket the eyes her with hate in their eyes. "Oh crap, I'm done for!"said Kiara softly. "I'm guessing you never gave any of these girls your jacket before huh?"Kiara asked him softly. She had to be right, cause if he did they wouldn't be looking at her with hate and fire in their eyes. like they had now.

Atticus smiled at the girl, a very unforced and natural smile, and he shook his head. "Don't worry about it. I'm quite tolerant of the cold. It'll have to be much colder than this for me to start freezing." he said cooly. He nodded as she said that boy usually get neat her to take advantage of her and he sighed. "Well they need to be taught a lesson. And you should remember, not all guys are like that." he was somewhat only referring to himself, but he knew that what he was saying went for a lot of other guys too. Not everyone from the male population was like that, only idiots did that sort of thing. As she introduced herself, he looked down at thw ground for a moment. Kiara. That was her name. "That's a nice name, Kiara." he said, smiling at her. "I'm Atticus Bletchley." he introduced himself, taking her hand and shaking it quickly.

The wind that blew passed then didn't phase Atticus. He sat there on the rock, unmoving as if nothing had passed them. The only movement from him was his hair moving gently in the wind and his eyes as he looked over at Kiara. He smiled a bit when she pulled his jacket over her more. Atticus whipped his head to the side when he heard her mention something about drama. His eyes fell upon a couple of girls who were headed their way and je couldn't help the smirk that appeared on his face, though he hid it from Kiara. When she asked if he wanted to go somewhere else, he was a bit hesitant. To he honest he liked the attention he got from the girls, but ur didn't want to seem like a jerk in front of her. He was determined to keep a clean image in front of her and that was what influenced the decision he took now. Atticus got up from where he sat and turned to face the girls as he stood next to Kiara. "You're right, I don't want that." he said knowing full well that of he said that in front of them, they would want him more, though he acted as if it was just an innocent comment on his behalf.

His eyes seemed to brighten a bit at the reaction of the girls when Kiara put his jacket on all the way. He could see the anger and hatred in their eyes, and he, honestly, was loving it. He closed his eyes and shook his head at her question. His head turned to look at her and his blue green eyes looked at hers. "No, to be honest, you're the first girl I've given my jacket to." he told her. The other girls seemed ready to attack Kiara and just to add fuel to the fire, but making it seem like he was trying to keep her safe, Atticus grabbed Kiara's hand and knowing that the girls would hate this, he took off. "Come on, or else you will be dead if they catch you." he said in a kind voice as he began to run.

Kiara wanted to smile as he told her she was the first girl he ever gave his jacket to but she kept her emotions to herself. As he grabbed her hand Kiara ran off with him wondering where they were going. "Atticus where are we going?"Kiara asked him softly as she kept running while holdinghis hand. As she looked back she seen that some of the girls were still chasing them. "I'm dead now, there going to think I'm dating you!"said Kiara as the wind rustled through her hair as she ran. Kiara knew there was alot of girls who would kill to be in her postion right now and Kiara couldn't help but not to laugh at the thought of it.

Kiara wasn't like those other girls who were obessed with Atticus and drooling over him 24/7 like those idiot girls were. Kiara and him were just friends if that what you called it. Kiara thought it more of acquaintance then anything to be honest seeing how they didn't know each other much. Although Kiara wouldn't mind getting to know him better. After all, he told her he wasn't out to take advantage of her and she believed it by the calmness of his voice. Kiara only hoped his were were true though for she knew there was alot of boys acting alot lately.

Kiara knew she had to be more trustwothy towards boys but it was hard seeing how she been crushed and broken before. Kiara was afraid to put herself out there to fear that she would her heart crushed and broken again. Atticus was very nice and sweet but she knew she had to be careful and not to fall into his trap if he had one. Although she was sure he wasn't tricking her for he told her he nevered gave anyone his jacket before but could it be some trick he's playing though? Kiara didn't know but she could only hope he wasn't tricking her she didn't need anymore pain.

Atticus looked around for a place where he thought they could be safe. "Just trust me." he told her as he continued to run. At the speed he was going, he knew the girls wouldn't be able to keep up for long, and when they seemed to be a safe distance he slowed down before stopping completely. He looked past Kiara and even though he didn't see anyone he could hear faint screams. The girls were screaming something about a damned Gryffindor and something else about killing if they caught her. He hid the smirk on his face by turning around away from her, and he looked around once again. There weren't many places to hide here, and soon the figured of some girls and their voices were coming closer and he cursed under his breath.

Now it was starting to annoy him. Usually the girls knew when to give up, but it seemed the hatred they had for this girl was fueling their search. That and the fact that Atticus was acting so friendly toward her when he he had never been like that with any of them before. Yeah, sometimes he didn't make the best choices in his actions, but now his concern for this girl's safety, the girl from the house he loathed, had grown into something more than a game. He was beginning to truly become concerned for her, and he actually wanted to keep her safe from those overly obsessed girls. He looked back to find their figures dangerously close to Kiara's and his grip of her hand tightened. "Come on!" He exclaimed as he heard insults being shouted at the girl.

He tugged on her arm gently as he started to run again. He couldn't help the smirk on his lips when he saw the girls coming toward them. It was natural, after all, for him to like that since he had been surrounded by those types of girls all his life. Atticus shook his head and put in a straight face on as he ran. Soon he came upon a spot that had many trees around and he smiled. Again hearing the girls, Atticus pulled Kiara toward him as he jumped behind a large tree that he knew the girls wouldn't notice and wrapped his arms around her subconsciously, as he peeked out from behind the tree trunk looking for those girls.
