"I never meant to " Atticus spoke his voice dripping with emotion this was the first time he had spoke of the summers events
"Me and father had been training in the wood we enter the house and my father run up stairs to see how my mother was " tears rolled down his face being blown sideways by the cold icey wind
"Then there was shouting I went into my room theres my mother covered only in the bed sheet clutching her wand pointying it as my father as a muggle man from the village pulled on his trousers and tried to escape through the bedroom window" Atticus put his face into his hand took a breath and continued his story
"Next thing i know my father has thrown a curse at the man my mother has jumped in with a shield charm to protect him my father cried for my help so not knowing what to do i just threw a stunning charm at her nothing that would hurt her my father did the same and the force of them combinded pushed her out the window " Atticus sounded frantic now " It was accident i never meant to kill her i only wanted to stun her I didnt know what was going on "
"Next thing i know she slumped in a pile on the cold stones of outside and my father is torturing the man relentlessly he shouted to me so i helped " At this point Atticus chocked up and lost the abilty to talk he just looked at Jaimi through his teary eyes and managed to mutter a couple of cold words
"See I'm a Monster"

Jaimi could do nothing but stand with her back against the tree listening to his woods and watching the tears roll down his face. The steadying breath as he continued the story she asked about but did not want to hear.
"Being brainwashed by your father does not make you a monster." she said shakily as she tried to take in what he had said. "Atticus, you regret it, don't you?" She touched his arm gently, tentatively, hoping it would have a comforting effect and not the opposite.

"Of course i regret it I was party to the murder of my own mother the mother that raised me and tried her damn best to protect me from my father"
He felt her hand press against his arm and calmed slightly he looked at her she was beautiful " Im sorry i shouldnt of burden you with this its my curse to bare and its my actions to deal with if i am the storm then the world best look out cause if its all i can do , then i will make sure i do my best at it"

"Then you are not a monster! Monsters run through the world killing and dealing evil wherever they go without caring how many people they hurt. You care, and I can see that it's hurting you." She put her other hand on his other elbow and took the half step closer to him.
She couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth next though, "You're acting like everything has already been decided, how many time do I have to try and explain to you that you have a choice, no matter what you can change what people like your father have planned for you." She looked into his eyes, pleading with him. She may be with Remus, but that didn't mean she couldn't care about what happened to Atticus, she did care, she had to. She couldn't watch him get sucked in by the evils of the blood feuds between purebloods and the rest of the world the way her father was trying to do to her older brothers. The way her father would sell her as a pawn to make allies for whatever cause they were trying to create.
"Please Atticus, whatever you're in the middle of, you can walk away. Please, walk away from it." she could feel the tears pricking at the back of her eyes making them itch.

Atticus looked at her beauty she looked like she really cared about him which was odd and new he felt the soft touch of her hands on his arms as she stared into his eyes
" It could be to late the balls in motion for this years plans already he looked at her he didnt know what to do on one hand he had his new friend and the llogic and truth she spoke was undeniable but on the other hand he had his father and his threats punishments and he was the only family he had left.
"I cant betray him though where would i go he would find me i cant hide from him"

"It's never too late Atticus, please." If he couldn't walk away from this, how was she supposed to walked away from an arranged marriage. It seemed like a small price to pay compared to being forced to murder your way through life.
"I know you think Dumbledore is an old fool, but he can help you if you ask him to." she said slowly, tentatively, hoping it wasn't the wrong thing to have said.

Atticus loked at her it was an odd concept for him asking for help "I Can't ask him for help, your asking me betray the last of my living family incrimnate my self in a plan that although is only in the very early stages has still led me to do enough to recieve the bittersweet release of the dementors kiss"
He thought for a minute his mind whering and turning coming on to the solotion of only a mad man " What about if i kill my father the estates mine and he's gone one last act of evil for a life of freedom " atticus let out a manic laugh at the concept of freedom it was something he would never get

"Someone who is getting you to do things like that, amking you regret your very existence is no family at all."
His next words made her arms drop to her sides, how could he even think that would help?
"You think killing someone else will solve all your problems? Waht if people notice he's missing, what if you're not the storm and he's working towards something bigger. If the people he's working with find out what are they going to do to you?"
The sound of manic laughter rung in her ears, she stepped back, finding herself backed up against the tree. What had happened to him since they last spoke to make him act like this?

" I dont know what to think , of course i know its not the most senisble course of action but i cant see any other options I cant betray him to the authorities its two underhanded and sly if i were to do it id have to deal with him face to face " Atticus's tears still rolled down his face as he fell to the floor
"I just dont what to do i dont know what i am any more i even scare you dont deny it the man has destroyed me i am a shadow of my former self "

How could he talk so calmly about killing someone, willing consider it as a viable option when he knew it wasn't, well the word he used was 'sensible', downright illegal and stupid was closer to what she had been thinking.
"Yes, I'll admit it, today, right now, you are scaring me! I am absolutely terrified of the person standing in front of me. My feet feel like they've been glued to the floor and I don't know what else I'm supposed to say to you. I've tried talking sense I've tried shouting and nothing seems to be working, but something in me is telling me that I can't give up on you. Just like I will never be able to hate my brothers for the fact that my father keeps trying to pull them into darkness the way his father did him!
"The more people around me that succumb to the dark arts, the less I can escape from it too, to more likely I'll end up married off to someone who only wants me in their bed because of my family's influence!" She took a deep steadying breath.
"Shadow of your former self, the wizarding world will be a shadow of it's former self if the older generations insist on crushing the hopes and dreams of their children for much longer."

"I'm sorry, I just dont know what to do I am lost in this whole situation "
Atticus just looked at her how scared she was, how scared he was making her.
"I'm sorry i'll go i dont know what to do im lost that all" He turned from her he didnt know what to do with him self he looked into the forest like it was answer like he could just run and hide there and it would be fine

"Then find something to follow." she replied bitterly as he turned away from her to leave. All of a sudden she found herself wanting to get rise out of him. Wanting him to give her a reason to shun him forever, never look at him in the same way again.
"So you're going to go back home at Christmas and Kill your Father? What will you do then, console yourself with the evils of the dark arts, as you rot from your very core, becoming steeped with the desire to know more. To achieve more and end up just like him, just like the man you killed to try and save yourself." She laughed coldly at his retreating back.
"Get real Atticus, the only thing the Dark Arts will do for you is control you and leave you festering in your own s**t!"
What had she done, she couldn't believe what had come pouring out of her mouth, let alone the fact that she had sworn at him.
At least now she would find out the measure of the man in front of her.

Atticus turned and looked at her dumbfounded an air of calm coming over him it was odd her very attempt at trying to bait him showed him that she cared and calmed him slightly
"I don't know what to do i see its wise not to kill him but I dont think i can go back there this christmas i'll probably stay at school and catch up on some work"
he still looked at her " I know I'm a mess and i know it will be hard to over come the dark arts there is a mysterious pull to it but ill try"

"Work of the standard academic kind I hope."
She bit her lip and looked up at him, the fear in her eyes now hidden by sheer determination.
"At least if you don't change your ways your name may end up on the list of suitably steeped in the dark arts suitors my father will present me with on my seventeenth birthday." she found herself saying bitterly. A short derisive laugh followed this thought spoken out loud, to cover up just how true this might become.

Her comment brought a laugh to his face drying his tear slightly and lightening the mood "Well it would be an honour to be married to a beauty like you even if it was forced by your father"
He just didnt know what to say " Yes normal academic work, Im sorry if i scared you " he said shuffling his feet like a lost child
He voice was honest "I just dont know what to do"
