Atticus sat on the stairs to the astronomy tower he was alone and it was about 7 in the evening a cold breeze whipped down the stair case a hatch to the tower must be open he thought to himself
His wand was in his finger as he expertly rolled around his hand and twiddled it from finger to finger. Jaimi weighed heavy on his head and heart he didnt know what to do about he had plans in motion but were they the right thing to do he was in turmoil and didnt know what to do

Rachel packed up her books and headed back down the staircase, the Astronomy tower gave her space to think, and luckily it was abandoned for most of the day, she was using her free periods wisely, especially for so early in the year, but she knew that if she was going to get through her NEWTs with the same or better success than her OWLs.
She had now caught up with her homework and could continue to struggle with prestudying potions in the comfort of the common room. She bounced down the stairs with a smile on her face, at least potions for this week was out of the way and she had managed not to blow up her potion this week.
At the bottom of the staircase she found her path blocked by a Slytherin. "I'm sorry, would you mind moving please, I need to get past."

Atticus stood and tuned and looked at the girl moving to one side for her he recognised the face then it all clicked into place
"Agh if it my cauldron exploding buddy ?" Atticus joked he had met the girl once before in the dungeon when she was coming out of a detention for exploding a cauldron in potions
"What bring you up to the astronomy tower on such a chilly evening? I was going to do a bit Of star gazing but assumed it was a class up there as the hatch was open so was just waiting but if was only you I spose I can go up !" He looked at the girl quiet attractive might take his mind off Jaimi he thought
"You can always join me if you are at a lose end? Not all us slytherins bite you know"

"Oh, hello." she said, clutching the largest book to her chest.
"I do a lot of work up there, the space helps me think." she explained. "I'm up there during most of my free periods, classes don't start until eleven pm." surely everyone knew that?
"I..." She knew from previous experience that this Slytherin was less quick to judge than others she had met. She had never told him that she was a muggleborn though, maybe he would think differently if he knew. "I was going to go back to my common room but, if you wanted company..."

"The company of a lovely lady like your self is always welcome" he started up the stairs so he was a couple above her then looked down to her and offered his hand as if to help her up the tall stair case
" I can see the appeal of it, it's quiet, the view are stunning and I imagine that gives you plenty of time to think "

Rachel couldn't help but smile at his words. "Then I will." she said, taking the hand he offered her and following him up the staircase.
"It's less the time and more the feeling of space that helps I think, the fact that you can see for miles without interruption helps to clear my head." She smiled to herself. "The fact that the views are good is merely a bonus, but the sunset is normally fantastic." she said.
His hand was large and warm around hers as the walked up the staircase, feeling suddenly self conscious she pulled her hand out of his and hugged her book harder.

Atticus looked down over his shoulder as she pulled her hand from his
"Nothing to worry about honest as I said I don't bite" he smiled at her to reassure her
they neared the top of the tower now and Atticus ducked under the hatch that brought them out to the top o the tower the evening air was much cooler and you could really feel the bite in the air
Atticus looked at her again " I can really see what you mean about the feeling of space it's very liberating but I feel you underestimate the views up here its more than good its damn right beautiful " as he said this he made sure he was looking right at her
Then adding a playful jokey tone he said " and I haven't even looked at the landscape yet" adding a cheeky playful wink to add to his charm offensive

She shrugged in response and continued up the staircase.
It was colder out here than it had been on the staircase but having been up here since dinner she was used to it.
He seemed to be spending more time looking at her than she was entirely comfortable with and his next comment had her blushing profusely.
"Calm down there casanova, we're here to admire the view out there remember." she said.

"Sorry I'm unfamiliar with that name please enlighten me !" Atticus looked a little puzzled at her comment but had enough common sense to assume she was making a comment about his advances he stood at a cross roads now did he back off and take a slighter approach or did he follow the signs of her blushing and continue
Wondering over to the railing Atticus looked out over the lake the evening moon reflected perfectly in the silver shimmer of the water "I must admit it is beautiful the light bouncing off the lake is something to behold and it is nice to have some one to share it with am surly on my lonesome when I come up here"

"Casanova was an Italian muggle who lived in the 18th century and had a bit of a reputation when it came to relations with women." she put her bag and book down my the hatch and went over to join him by the railing.
"lt is beautiful, moonlight in general. They way it makes everything look different is just so... magical." she said as she looked at the silver tops of the trees in the forest, the way the grass had a silver sheen and the ripples on the lake were glistening like molten silver.

"Indeed the moon does cast a magical shadow the moon itself is magical though is it not look at the way it transforms the werewolves"
"Agh now I understand " atticus states longer at the moonlight . He stood close to Rachel as they looked out together

"Very true." she said as she looked out over the grounds. "Yet more proof of their lack of control." she replied absentmindedly. She was pleasantly surprised that he hadn't flipped out about being compared to a muggle explorer, but he didn't deny the comparison either. She swallowed nervously.
She could feel him standing next to her, the heat from his body. She wasn't particularly attracted to him, but he had a certain amount of charm that she couldn't help but notice. In all honesty the mere fact that he had noticed her was enough to make her look twice, she was just another faceless Hufflepuff that no one paid much attention to.
Normally she didn't mind, it certainly made for an easier life, but sometimes she wished that people would notice her more often.

"I don't know about that control is very subjective thing speaking from experience I know that when I have lost control if anything I feel more in control and more in touch with my self than ever"
Atticus's eyes looked out from the tower looking into the forest he saw movement but from this distance he could tell what could be anything centaurs unicorns some even spoke of giant spiders in the forest
"Do you see that? There movement in the forest could be anything maybe the centaurs are feeling particularly frisky tonight"

"Well I don't always feel in control of my life, but I've always been a very 'go with the flow' type of person. There's no point in stressing about things you can't change. So I work hard, my grades is one thing I can change."
She too saw movement in the trees.
"Or Acromantula," she replied with a laugh. She was normally O.k. with spiders, but spiders that big were just wrong. "Unlikely to be unicorns, they don't tend to disturb the trees quite as much as that, more graceful and in smaller numbers. We did them in Care of Magical Creatures last year."

"Could always be the thestrals" Atticus said he had been able to see them from te start of this year ever sinc his mothers death
"I know the feeling for years I have felt like my life was out of my control like I was merely a puppet in some one else's game " he turned and looked at her "but now I'm back in control which I fantastic I am at last my own man and I wish to make the most of that"
