Attor sat in the hall reading some book, the common room was to chatty with rumors of what might have caused Attor's new look. It felt odd for him to be so quite right now when normally he might be looking to cause trouble right now, but he just wasn't up to it.

Elliot's first year at Hogwarts had been exciting to say the least! If you asked him, he would tell you about all the new friends that he had made. Most of these so-called friends consisted of students who he had spoken to once or who he had studied with, and whether or not they had actually become friends was up for debate. This didn't bother Elliot, though- it was close enough for him!
Now, the Ravenclaw busied himself with hopping the moving staircases of Hogwarts. With enough exploring, he had gotten used to their patterns, and used them to entertain himself when he had nothing to do!
There was suddenly a loud, booming voice, and Elliot looked down over the railings to find one of the Hogwarts professors ordering him to stop playing on the staircase this instant! Elliot laughed and scampered away- this, too, happened all the time.
He fled down the hall, but he wasn't able to go for very long. His body was frail and weak, and his large bag of books was awfully heavy! He slowed down quickly, breathing heavily, and gathered his surroundings. There was a boy!
"Oh, hello, there!" he greeted through pained breaths."Did you... hear that?"

Attor's attention had already been caught by the teacher yelling at another student. He was looking in the direction it had come from when suddenly Elliot had appeared. Attor actually chuckled a bit to see the slender Elliot out running a teacher's wrath. Last year he would have thought Elliot his enemy, but this year things like that really didn't seem to matter to him. He wasn't looking for a fight anymore not that his life outside of Hogwarts was that way 24/7.
"Hey Elliot out running the teachers early this year aren't we? I've yet to get yelled at myself." Attor said closing his book, it was nice to speak to someone who might not focus on trying to figure out how he got his scars. He also wondered how Elliot might react to Attor's new demeanor.

"Attor! It is you!"
Elliot was surprised to see that it was the Slytherin! He had thought it to be some random student- it did not matter to him who it had been, only that he wanted to share his excitement! He laughed shrilly with delight at Attor's commentary, not minding at all that this was a boy who he was not supposed to get along with. Attor was being nice to him, so who cared?!
The Ravenclaw approached at a weak jog, but suddenly stopped short. His eyes widened and he bent in closer to get a better look. His mouth widened into a grin and he breathed in deep--
"Mon dieu, that is so cool! How did 'dat happen- were you attacked by a monster?!" Elliot squealed, gesturing with a pointed finger madly- tactlessly!- in Attor's direction!

"Yes it is." Attor commented watching to other boy amused by his antics.
At least it seemed Elliot didn't care about the old rivalry either. Which was nice Attor wished to move on from such things this year. Attor adjusted the book in his lap as Elliot came closer a slight smile on Attor's face for once not turning down the chance at company like he had been doing.
Then Elliot had to ruin it, at first Attor thought he was having some sort of weird freak out then he realized Elliot was referring to his scars. His eyes widened and he gulped a bit opening his book again. "You could say that....." Attor was obviously upset now.

Elliot managed to completely miss Attor's obvious facial and vocal cues; he had never been brilliant at picking up on such things. Instead of reacting appropriately with sympathy, Attor's response only made him more giddy! He pulled his fists close to his chest and jumped up on his toes a little, giggling in amusement.
"Was it a hippogriff?" he asked in great excitement. "Ooh! Or was it a werewolf? Are you going to become a monster too? Mais, how I love scars!"

Attor slowly pulled his eyes over his book to blankly stare at Elliot. Maybe there was a better reason to avoiding him then just because of who he hang out with. He was a bit of a nutters.
"No and no, these scars are from a wand if you must know beyond that is none of your interest." Attor said snapping his book shut understanding that hiding behind it wouldn't work.

Even Elliot could not miss such a blatant rejection! He immediately stopped, dazed and confused as he was thrown off his course of thought. He frowned now, gripping the bottom of his sweatshirt in his fists. He hadn't meant to upset Attor; he legitimately thought that the scars were awesome! Thinking about it more thoroughly, he realized that it was probably not very pleasant to receive injuries from a wand- especially as that meant that a wizard or witch had raised it to him. Elliot pursed his lips, heart fluttering nervously.
"I am sorry... I did not mean to offend you," he said plainly, tilting his head. "Then, ah... are you... happy? ...To be back at Howarts?" he then asked with a sheepish grin.

Attor frowned these days it didn't delight him to make someone nervous like it did before. He traced his fingers along the edges of the book with a sigh before speaking again.
"I'm sorry Elliot....Its just that's all people try to talk to me about anymore when they first see me. And everyone in Slytherin has their own little story of how I got them....Not all scars are cool and some still hurt....But its no excuse for me to snap at you like that...I'm trying to be someone different this year..." Attor said with a nod. "Yes I dare say I'm very happy...I've got my friends with me again and I don't feel so alone. How about you?"

Elliot didn't fully understand why Attor was so upset about his scars. Sure, it wasn't good to be attacked, and the Ravenclaw could see that, but the scars themselves were still cool! Still, it bothered Attor, and Elliot had enough sense to respect that. Thankfully, though, the other boy did not dwell much longer on the subject- Elliot was not very good at handling people when they were upset!
"Oh! I am very good!" Elliot said, excited. "I was thinking about- er... starting a... group this year! A group? You know these?"

Attor tilted his head curiously before looking down remembering the rivalries of last year. The sound of a group made him worry about it happening again. At the same time he felt a bit of his old self surfacing. He still had a want to be a leader with other kids following his lead, but right now he dismissed those feelings...he wasn't good enough for much of anything right now. He was still having bouts of depression and going a day here and there without eating. He was pale and thinner then he had ever been. His working out days far and few between when before boxing had been important to him.
"What kind of group?" Attor asked an obvious hint of cation in his question.

Elliot was happy to hear that Attor seemed even a little bit curious about his group! In reality, it was more like a club than anything else, but Elliot didn't think the word best described what he wanted to create. Plus, he had a difficult time describing his idea in English!
"Mmm..." he began, hopping back and forth on his toes. "It is a group for, uhh, the love for the dementors!" he explained, quite giddy!

Yep Elliot was a nutter for sure! Attor stared at him blankly before raising an eyebrow. Why would anyone love such a dreadful creature? Only thing good about them was chocolate helped in recovering from an encounter with them.
"Whatever for?" Attor said honestly confused.

"Because they are amazing? I, uh, would like to see them closer!" he said, grinning wildly. "It has its own magic and it does not need a wand! And flying without a broom-stick? Is it not good?"
Elliot knew that most people didn't like dementors- and why, too! He supposed that most people wouldn't like to have their souls sucked out and it was probably painful, too... But, being Elliot, he was sure that there was some way to come to an agreement with them! They didn't need souls to live (if you could call it that) after all. Maybe if they were allowed to live among regular people, sapping small amounts of emotion at a time, they wouldn't be so ravenous!
...That was Elliot's logic, anyway.

"Elliot they are dangerous creatures you really shouldn't mess with. Specially since I'm betting your patronus isn't perfected yet." Attor said giving Elliot a serious look. His favorite subject was d.a.d.a something he obsessed and preached about. Attor shifted his book in his lap feeling a bit worried that Elliot might do something stupid.
"It does have its own magic of sorts but think it feeds off the emotions of wizards. Some say they steal magic as well. Now I don't know about that,but if you want to study them closer at least figure out how to protect yourself first. Only thing good about them is the chocolate to perk you up after an encounter." Attor shook his head Elliot must really be as crazy as he acted.
