It had only been a few days into school and things had been very rough for him. He had hoped school would be an escape for him but not one day would go by where he wasn't asked about his scars. There were those that had even noticed he had not been at his home neighborhood the entire summer. There were questioned being raised about that too. He wasn't in the mood to make things up so he choose to avoid them or tell them to fudge off which only made things worse.
Attor felt like he was about to explode and there was only one person he felt like he could trust, Clover. He had yet to run into her,but now he was looking for her. He didn't care who saw him or anything he just wanted to talk to her. He wandered the halls and was checking every he could think of that she could be.

Clover was walking the entrey hall having gotten back in the castle from Herbalogy. "That was rather strange" she said rubbing her shoulder and going towards the Great Hall then she saw a red head out the corner of her eye.
She stopped for a moment to see who it was. He was in Slythein's uniform but was this Slytherin one she wanted to talk to or not? When he got closer to the Red and Green haired girl she smiled knowing who it was. Then she saw the scarring on his face and got conserned. "What happened durring the summer?" she wondered. She didn't know if she should go over and ask him or just keep going to the Great Hall so she stayed where she was transfixed to the spot.

It was obvious Attor was on a mission and finally he had found what he was looking for. He walked through the crowded hall strait to Clover. At this moment he really couldn't care who was about to see him talk to her. He really wasn't sure he cared about that sort of stuff at all anymore. Though he wasn't sure of anything really.
Attor's face seemed full of emotion, but it was plain he was happy to see her. "Hi Clover, do you think we could go talk? Catch up and such?"

Clover was shocked at how quickly he went over. "Hay Attor. Yeah we can talk." she said with a smile though she was still concerned with his face.
She walked with him away from the entry hall to another area less crowded in the castle. "Have a run in with a Razor bush?" she asked as they walked remembering what happened to her the year before. "Or was it something else?" she asked concerned.

Attor smiled when she agreed to talk with him. And he followed her as she started to walk away from the more crowded areas. And when she seemed to slow down he kept walking they needed to get to some place in the castle where there would be very little chance of someone interrupting them.
"It's good to see you Clover...." Attor seemed to twitch a bit at her question. "Something else....something....I would really like to talk about to someone if you don't mind. I've talked a bit to Ty, but not in detail...I don't want to scare you or put you out but you and Ty are the only ones I can talk to and I really need to talk right now...."
When they reached a place he was sure was safe he sat on the floor rubbing the scars on his palms a nervous habit he had picked up since he got them.

Clover looked over at him "I don't know who Ty is but I'm happy to lend an ear... but it's nice to see you again." she said with a nod.
When he sat down she sat down next to him and looked at him rub his scars "They bug you?" she asked since it would be a habit that would start by announce.

"Tynan my best bro, a Slytherin." Attor commented still rubbing the scars on his palms.
"Sometimes, mostly the ones on my hands.....if I hold something for to long of hit my hands.....they are wounds by a darker magic so they are scars that won't be going away." Attor said with a deeply saddened voice. "Ok so....I bet you are wondering where they came from..." Attor looked at Clover and took a deep breath still very full of cation even though he trusted her.
"I think I might have mentioned before, my father and I don't get along...if not I'm mentioning it now.....but I never knew how much he hated me and I still don't know why...." Attor clenched his fist. "Please keep the things I'm about to tell you secret." He said turning to look at her a bit his eyes desperate to open up but also full of fear that he was going to tell someone.

Clover looked at him in shock "Oh... I'm sorry to hear that." she said clincing her fist. She looked down to debate on wither or not she should tell someone he was being abused at home but who could she tell?
She looked back at him "I will." she said knowing that he was having trouble just telling her.

Attor nodded before looking away. "My dad did this to me..I think he was trying to do much worse." Attor didn't seem to want to cry this time he had gotten all the crying out with Ty.
"My pet snake saved me I think,,,He died from his injuries that's for certain...Attor said putting his hands on his knees. "I don't know what happened....I was reading a book in my bedroom with my python wrapped in a coil in front of me...when the door to my room........flung open and dad he yelled something...all I remember is trying to dodge the light coming at me, a hiss from my python and then another flash.....and pain.....I'm so confused Clover, I didn't do anything wrong....." Attor said putting his face into his palms not sure how Clover might react. "Tynan would never be honest with me, but Clover fo you think I'm a bad person? I mean I have to be right? For someone to hate me so much?" Attor said still not looking at her.

Clover's eyes widened in horror when she heard that. How could a father do that to his son was beyond her. She shook her head and put an arm around him to confert him.
"I'm sorry to hear that Attor. I'm sorry you have an abusive father. But no your not a bad person. Your Father is. You can chose your friends not your Family Attor." she said softly. "If your dad something like that, it might be better if you spent your summers else where. I don't know about the Wizarding law on this but I know the Muggle's law on it... well it's agents the law to abuse people. It could be that he was drunk... or that something else triggered it but it's still not right Attor." she lightly rubbed his back.
She took a breath to figure out what to say next, then said, "Attor, You aren't a bad person. Besides you can take this learn from it and change so you arn't like your father. I know that some people would be scared of you but if your kind you can open doors that you wouldn't think possible." she said with a smile at him. She truly meant what she said.

Attor leaned on Clover a bit she comforted him. He felt so cold at the moment and wished he could move on, but there were so many things he couldn't get past.
"Ok just Quillian called the old me an arse and I spent a lot of last year pretending I didn't see you and I just wanted to know if I deserved it cause I was starting to wonder if I did....Tynan my friend is asking if I can live with them. I hold out hope that it happens otherwise I head back to my crazy aunt's house. Which is fate I hope not to face." Attor touched a hand to the scars on his face. "I'm sorry I treated you like I did last year, Clover......this year will be different."

Clover clicked her tong when she heard Quill did that. "Well Quill's just a jerk... He's not much of a friend if you ask me." she said remembering how he had treated Dorian last year. It ticked her off just to think about how that day went.
She shook it off and looked back at Attor. "Well if Tynan can't do so I'll send an owl to my grand-da and ask if you could help out at the farm during the summer bake. I would have to explain why though." she said knowing he had asked her not to tell. "But don't worry about the ignoring me thing. You didn't want to spoil your reputation." she said with a soft smile.

"I suppose." Attor wasn't being himself recently so in an odd way he was being to trusting of people willing to listen to him. If someone wanted to manipulate Attor now would be their chance. "He isn't so bad...." Attor seemed confused and not all there right now.
"Thanks Clover I would willingly pull my weight in muggle work to get away from my aunt's house. She scares me too...."Attor said thinking about his aunt's shop and the people she serves and keeps around.
"No I do worry.....my reputation should be worth less to me then a friend...A good person who is willing to listen to me...and I dare say help me. Is worth more then gold to me right now." Attor said still looking away.

Clover rolled her eyes "So far he the only Slytherin I don't get along with. Well of the one's I met and actually talked too. Kept teasing Dorian and insisting I gave him cooties. THEN Quill had the gull to call me weird when I did a drawing to just calm my self down, because I knew he was Dorian's friend and didn't want to punch him.... Though I guess I didn't need to tackle him but between that and getting ink bombed by that upper classmen I was rathery upset that day.... Also punched that Slytherin who inked me. Knocked him flat on his butt for ruining the sketches I was working on that day. She said glaze eyed. "Sorry guess that doesn't matter now."
She nodded "It's no problem. Attor. It's just not to hard during the summer, just pulling weeds and keeping mucking the stalls so the animals don't get sick. And Emma and I are there to help out too. To be honest, I was shocked when I heard her name during the sorting ceremony... little bumbed she was placed in Gryffindor though." she said with a small smile.
She the looked at him more directly "We are friends Attor. That's why I am willing to help. It was also our first year. This is our second a new year a new start. So don't dwell to hard on it. I didn't mind too much." she said with a light chuckle.

"I missed all that....I would have put Quillian in his place and take care of the punching for you....."Attor seemed stressed again and less cold. If he hadn't been so busy ignoring her he would have been there to help her. maybe they were minor things, but right now he was beating himself up for every little thing. Attor was still confused though on who he could trust and who he couldn't. "Maybe Quillian changed?" Attor even sounded unsure of what he was saying.
Attor didn't even react to that normally most hated word, Gryffindor. It just didn't matter to him at all right now.
"But you did mind from what you just said...."Attor sighed and shook it off a bit. "But hey how...how is the school year so far?" He didn't know what else to do but to change the subject he was starting to feel a little stupid, for whining so much.
