"I doubt it, Thestrals don't cause trouble big enough to be seen from the castle." she said with a smile.
"Good for you, I like to take all the small victories I can get." she said, not noticing he had turned to face her and continuing to gaze out across the grounds.

"Don't we all ! Many a small victory can be the start of something greater " he continued to look on her she was quiet beautiful he thought his heart did belong to another but as it stood she wanted nothing to do with him so why not have some fun he thought
"So tell me of this Casanova what made him so special?" He asked quizzically .

"Very true," She said with a smile.
She laughed, "He's not exactly special. " she said. "He was an Italian adventurer who kept very detailed memoirs on both his cultural and sexual exploits. As any such man in that era would have he earned himself a bit of a name, and them published them."

"Very interesting " Atticus said thinking about this Italian adventurer
"So tell me more about you ? " Atticus thought trying to shift away from small talk like Italian muggles and unknown creature in the forest
He stood still looking at her while he waited for answer his right arm leaning on the railing his left leg crossed behind his right

"Well, my mother is a burser at a muggle primary school and my dad is a banker for HSBC in London. I've got three brothers, Tristan is the Oldest, then Percival, Pentruin is younger than me and then my sister Rose is the youngest, she's twelve." she said. "I'm a muggleborn if you hadn't guessed."
She finally looked at him, trying to gauge his reaction.

He kept a straight face it was clear she was trying to gauge his reaction to her revelation of her blood origins.
"I had come to that conclusion but we live in modern time blood is nothing important " he said looking at her "both my parents are deceased I'm afraid to say my father past away only a few weeks ago " atticus face stayed stony " but as I no doubt you understand I wish not to discuss that" he looked at her for a reaction
"I was very fortunate my family are old money neither of my parents worked I had very provoked up bringing can't say was the happiest but we live and learn as I said I'm my own man now I've stepped out of the shadows"
" so how was it being brought up in the muggle world must have been strange when you brought here for the first time even I found the castles many quirks odd and I was brought up surrounded by magic"

She could only be relieved that he wasn't one of those slytherins that hated muggleborns. It wasn't her fault that her parents were muggles, and she didn't exactly feel at home around muggles.
"It was partly a relief, getting here, I mean, I never really fit in before, and I know I haven't exactly ingratiated myself very well here, but being the only sibling out of five that con do magic is hard. I love my brothers and sister, but they don't always get that I'm not allowed to do magic at home. I hate being away from all of them, but here is the best place for me, and simply having a connection with everyone through the fact that we are all working towards honing our magical skills is enough to get me through." she sighed.
"Being a muggle is very different technological advances are quicker than in the wizarding world cause we don't have any other way to do it."

"I guess that is tough I'm an only child so never had any of that to compete with" he looked at her He was enjoy there conversation it was easy simple and he didnt have to worry about anything
"I'm much the same hogwarts is my family there nothing for me at home now . All that used to be there was turmoil you say about honing magical skill I had that the entre time I was at home as well endless lessons with my father trying to make me the strongest possible wizard he could he was convinced a war was coming and when he did he wanted me ready. He taught me loads of magic not always good stuff but I got good at it "
He looked at her wondering what she would say now after his revelation

She frowned, having never experienced the pushy parent thing she couldn't imagine what it must be like for your parents to make you do things you didn't want to. As for the 'not always good stuff' that could mean anything from hexes saved for older years to the unforgivables, but she didn't think he was capable of that.
"Oh, I'm sorry you feel your father pushed you like that, my parents have never exactly pushed me at anything. I guess I'll always be average, or less than when it comes to potions." she smiled and looked out over the forest.

"Potions I'm not to bad at but ill be lucky if I scrape a pass in , arithmancy , muggle studies and astronomy give me a subject where I can wave my wand any day and I'm happy . I even got some spell down with out a wand but as for those sorts of subjects yeah I'm screwed" He laughed
The wind whipped aroun them sending a chill down his spine the wind made the tree tops sway aggressively in the night sky adding to the beauty of the moonlit night

"Well we all have our weaknesses, mine is clearly potions, I don't know how I scraped an E in my OWL." she laughed.
"I can't do wandless magic, I can barely do it wordless and I'm dreading my apparition test."
Suddenly the wind blew stronger and Rachel shivered despite herself, she normally came up here when it was much colder, the chill sent everyone else indoors and her usual quiet spots were taken over by those who didn't like the cold.

"Took me a long ol' while to get it but did in the end I love it cause you can surprise people they think your weak ause you haven't got a wand but you can prove them wrong"
Atticus watched as she shuddered in the cold "that winds got but of a bite to it your not to cold are you sure could rustle up a small fire or you take my robe if your really chilly got jumper on underneath " Atticus said playing the gentleman

"It does give you a certain advantage." she said, "Until you've used it too often and people know, it's something I'd keep to myself I think." she mused.
"No I'm not too cold, the wind took me by surprise is all. It's warmer right now than some of the times I've been up here in the last six years."

"Oh it's not something I use to often only when it's needed" this was true he very rarely used this skill only in combat or very occasionally as a party trick
He looked over to her " agh harden to the elements are you? I spose it must get freezing up here in the winter with the snow and stuff"

She laughed.
"I wouldn't say hardened, but I do have an appreciation for cold weather." she shook her head in embarrassment. "It's weird I know, but the cold has never seemed to bother me. Like I said, the sudden gust of wind took me by surprise. It does get pretty cold up here though, and I'll start wearing a jacket when I come up here from about next week." She explained.
She glanced at her watch, they had half an hour till curfew.
"We'd better be going soon..." she mused, mostly to herself.
