He just wanted a normal relationship. A normal relationship with Kiara, but he knew that, that wouldn't happen so long as they were at Hogwarts. The rivalry between their houses was just to great, for them to accept that members of their houses loved each other. And because of that they tried to break them apart by amy means nessesary. For him it wasn't much of a problem, not many people in his house messed with him as they knew the trouble it would bring them sooner or later. When without his parents help, he was a force to he reckoned with if he was bother in any way. That was why everyone usually left him alone, but their house pride is enough to make them forget about the fear they had of him. Fear that he quickly reminded them that they had.
When he heard someone coming, he immediately turned around a bit to see who it was. As he turned around, he saw a girl he recognized to be from Ravenclaw but he really didn't know her, trip over a rock and tumble down toward the lake. His mouth opened a bit as his eyes followed her figure as she rolled down toward the frozen lake. As he saw her stop rolling he sighed in relief and he almost burst out laughing as he saw her sit up and say that it had been fun. But he quickly cleared his throat to stiffled the laugh and he watched as Kiara tried to repair the girl's shoes. He looked her over and noticed that her clothes choices were a bit odd, but they seemed to fit her personality quite a bit.
As he heard Kiara introduce herself to the girl and say that they had a few classes together, Atticus smiled at them. "I'm Atticus Bletchley." he said softly. "Nice to meet you." he added, sounding almost as formal as his fatjer did. He would never really admit it, but he had a lot of qualities that his father had. His appearance was more like his mother's, but with inward qualities he was almost exactly like his father.
