Attor had found his way, away from people again. Though friends had tried their hardest to convince him of otherwise he wasn't feeling the best of himself. Living through something he had gone through wasn't easy in the least. He still wondered why it had happened and once or twice even wished he hadn't made it out. Attor didn't know what to do right now and certainly didn't wish to go back to his Aunt's place. Which as far as he knew that's were he was going to end up.
He looked over the grounds from the ledge on the bridge were he was sitting. No doubt a teacher would fuss at him for sitting there but he refused to care at the moment. He hugged his knees and laid his head down on them. Attor wished to get a hug from his mother again but he had doubts that he would ever see her again. Unless she came to him which was doubtful, she only did what his father allowed.

Elliot was as chipper and clueless as always! He had little reason to be upset, of course. Things had been tense with his peers earlier during the year, but he was quick to recover and was managing to get by alright. And besides that- Christmas was approaching! Who could be unhappy around Christmas? Most of the students went home for the holidays; Elliot wanted to stay at school, to experience it at Hogwarts, but his mother insisted that he be home- "For one more year, at least!
But not only were the holidays approaching and winter in full-swing... Elliot had made a constant friend! For most children, a friend might not have been a very big deal; but to Elliot, it was just awesome. For reasons that he could not fathom, he did not have many of them- at least, not friends who he actually talked to regularly... But Tynan talked to him! And they walked around Hogwarts a lot! Sometimes, they even ate together, but this was much less frequent, as they were in different houses- plus, Elliot did not eat at every meal, making meetings even more difficult...
Right now, however, it was a walk that they were on. There was still so much of the Hogwarts grounds that Elliot had never seen- and probably never would see! Walking with Ty made being outdoors (exposed to the terrible tanning rays of the sun!) just a little bit more bearable.
"Have you ever been up there?" Elliot inquired suddenly, glancing up at the bridge over their heads. "I have gone under it, but I don't know where it goes..."

Ty had been looking for Attor most of the day cause he had gotten a rply back from his father about him staying with them and he was really very excited to tell him the answer but he had found Elliot instead, the only other person here who he enjoyed time with other then Attor. He had agreed to go on ont of their normal walks cause he couldnt say no to spending time with his regular, if strange in a good way, friend. His second best friend. He hoped to never lose Attor Or Elliot as a friend, it would just be the end of him.
He looked up at Elliot as they walked and shook his head. "Nope i don't think i have. I think Attor might have talked about wanting to come wander around it before but we...never..." he squinted and looked up at the bridge...legs? That hair...it looked like Attor. He frowned and he watched. "I think thats him up there. Come on lets go see..." he said growing worried that his best friend was having issues again, and worried about why he might be out here alone.

Attor opened his eyes again looking over the snow dusted grounds before spotting movement. He lifted his eyes curiously just to see who might be out and running about on a cold day like this. He could tell in no time it was Tynan and only took a moment after to tell that it was Elliot with him. He simply blinked before putting his head back down. He wasn't necessarily even in the mood to be around Tynan and Elliot was ok, but sometimes trying on Attor's nerves...he was a little weird at times. Hopefully neither boy had seen him as he tried to keep still not wanting his normal hiding place to be discovered.

Elliot glanced shortly up at the bridge to try to pick out a figure, but Tynan was already off. He shot after the other boy, curious now to know if it was really Attor. He was a little hesitant, too; Attor was fun sometimes, but he seemed super irritable or downhearted or something lately. It worried Elliot that he might accidentally set the Slytherin off by doing something stupid, which he was quite renowned for. He wondered how Ty had gotten so close to him!
"Do you think he will be happy for us to visit?" asked Elliot hesitantly as they began to ascend the tower that the bridge connected with the tapestry corridor.

Ty hurried along, he was growing worried. Why was he sitting on he bridge like that! He had the letter from his father! Attor could even come with them to Paris for Christmas! He hurried as he looked at Elliot. "Yes he will be very happy when i give him the letter from my father." he said as he panted and hurried along towards where he thought he had seen attor.
"Attor! Attor was that you i saw! Please where are you?" he asked looking around till he found him. "I got a reply from my father! You can stay!" he said with a bright smile as he panted from running all the way up here.

Attor sighed and grumbled Ty had found him, he had hoped the boy couldn't figure his way up to that path. He blinked turning to look down the bridge at Ty and Elliot running towards him. Tynan looked concerned, did Ty really know him that well? What he was thinking while sitting on the edge of the bridge.
Attor slid of the ledge to ...his feet well that's what he planned, but his legs gave out and he slid to to floor. He did his best to make it look like it was something he had done on purpose. Vonali had been otherwise distracted which meant Attor had taken the chance to stop eating again. The act just seemed pointless and annoying right now.
"What?" Attor blinked wrapping his cloak round him feeling the chill of the outside getting to him. Attor thought he knew what he had heard, but he needed to hear it again to be sure. This could really work to cheer him up if he didn't have to go back to his aunt's house again.

Confused, Elliot trotted along behind Ty, using the boy as a sort of buffer between Attor and himself. He didn't really know Attor very well, and it seemed that Ty had something very important to tell him anyway. What did he mean about staying..?
Elliot opened his mouth to ask, but closed it wordlessly when Attor stood, clumsy and disheveled. This was probably was not the best time to interrupt. He tugged awkwardly on the ends of his sleeves, watching with curious eyes as the two exchanged.

Ty smiled and then gasped as he grabbed Elliots hand. "Come help me." he said as he hurried over and helped Attor stand and asked Elliot to help his other side. "Have you been out too long? Its cold right now and you have been sitting here for too long it seems. Come on. and I said he is ok with it. He even invited you along to our Christmas in Paris this year." he said with a smile. "You know Ellio righ?" he asked as he pointed at his other best friend.
"Come on lets get you warm. Are you hungry i didn't see you at lunch." he said softly as he smiled and walked with him holding him up. He wasn't sure how much he could Tell Elliot about this conversation but he knew Elliot might not ask alot of questions.

"Maybe I guess...it is cold." Attor said while accepting the help up...Von was sooo gonna kill him when she found out he stopped eating again. "Wait what? I-i can.....? " Attor smiled and seemed to want to show more emotion, but then his head tilted towards Elliot. He could not show any softer side to this boy, he didn't know him well enough yet.
"Paris? Oh...to cool Ty!" Attor seemed to have a weight lifted off his shoulders. He didn't have to go to his aunt's he was going to spend christmas and summer with his best friend. "I'll have to think of a proper way to thank you and your dad properly!" Attor smiled for once his depressed outside melting away.
"Yes I know Elliot...one of the few people I've ever let see my inventions....well sketches of inventions that is." Attor said with a nod to Elliot thankful for the boys help to stand.
"Oh uh hungry...uh...I was....studding....lost track of time...maybe later..." Attor wasn't really sure why he wasn't eating other then the fact that he just didn't want to. He had reasons to be happy, but now perhaps he was accustomed to Von fussing at him till he ate.

So Attor was going to stay with Ty for the holidays? Elliot couldn't fathom why- after a long time at school, he was usually eager to be home with his mother! Not that it was unpleasant at Hogwarts, of course, but he did so miss her... However, he had never spent any significant amount of time at any other person's house. Maybe staying with friends was more fun than he realized? He thought it was a little bit like staying at the dorms, but then, Elliot was not very friendly with his roommates...
As the Ravenclaw was mentally sorting the differences between staying with a friend versus ordinary roommates, something else caught his attention. Christmas in... Paris? Paris?! his mother would say, appalled. A vulgar city- you do not want to go there! ...But Elliot did want to go there. He was not sure why his mother despised it so; from what he had read, it was a beautiful place. Despite living in London for most of his life, he'd been raised to believe that France was his real home- and, yet, he had never been to the country. What better place could there be to start than Paris..?
What a wealthy family's Ty must be to afford such a trip... Elliot smiled sheepishly and pushed away those jealous thoughts- it was not right to be envious, especially of friends! He helped Attor along instead- it was sort of strange, how weak he was... but Elliot was familiar enough with those excuses. No, mama, I ate earlier. and I just got lost in my book and I forgot... No, I think it is too late now, I should really sleep. I'll have breakfast tomorrow! It wasn't right to lie, no, but...
"We could see if there is anything left..." Elliot suggested nonetheless- if Attor was falling down, it meant that he should eat, even if he did not want to! "Maybe they would have some things in the kitchens for you~"

Ty smiled at them and then looked over each of them. "You didn't want to show me your inventions too?" He asked softly as they helped him towards the castle. He didn't even remember hearing that his friend liked to make inventions. He looked at Elliot when he mentioned food...Attor was just cold wasn't he? Or was he...was he not eating? He frowned and looked at Attor. "You should eat. You look hungry and it will help warm you up." He said in as demanding of a voice as he could manage.
Walking along wiith him he couldn't help but smile. "I'm glad your excited to come with thouh. Dads looking forward to meeting you." he said with a pleased smile as he walked along with them both. "Paris should be fun. Well more fun then last year when i was alone. I'll have you this time tho." He said as he looked at Elliot. "I'd ask if you could come but dad...hates Ravenclaws as much as he hates Gryffindors." he said with a blush.

Attor looked from Elliot to Ty, crap now they were going to be on him to. He didn't wanna eat it hurt his insides anymore and he didn't like being around that many people. Attor waved his hand trying to pass the whole eating conversation and get them on something else.
"Well It just didn't seem your kind of thing. A lot of my inventions have to do with D.A.D.A, and Elliot gave me the push I needed to start working on one of my ideas off the paper...we could stop by the common room and pick up my sketch book and we can go find a fire will can all hang out by and look at them. Maybe I can bounce some ideas off you guys...sounds like fun right?" He was over trying to changed the subject in a way.
"I have a pen pal in Paris, perhaps you can meet with him too. He family is very wealthy and he stand to inherit and profitable distribution company...it would be beneficial to meet him face to face. " Attor said pondering the possibilities ah the tortures of the young business wizards of the future group. "Think your dad would allow us to meet with him while we're there? Paris wow, so much better then staying here...or..." Attor shivered. "Going to my Aunt's...oh my I dont ever have to see that old hag again! I'm forever in debt to you and your father Ty. We will be like brothers from now on Ty! You won't be alone ya know and neither will I." Attor didn't seem to care if Elliot figured it out at this point. "Guess we should fill you in so you aren't wondering Elliot...I can't go home and my aunt is one of the scariest people Ive ever met....Ty and his father are letting me stay with them. So I don't have to go back to my aunt's...." Attor smiled sure after all of this talk they would forget he hadn't eaten.

Ouch! Elliot's smile faded and he turned his gaze forward to hide his upset. He didn't mind that he couldn't go with them- it wouldn't be right to impose, Ty's parents didn't know anything about him, and his mother probably wouldn't let him go anyway- but because he was a Ravenclaw? He liked being a Ravenclaw! It had made his mama so proud when he told her... Now Elliot was nervous! Did Ty feel that way too?
He shivered a little, tightening his scarf a little to feign being cold. Elliot was to unaccustomed to being bothered by something to let it show! Instead, he made himself ignore it, tuning back into the conversation. That was sort of strange, too, listening to them talk about business and... connections. Was that what most rich children talked about? Elliot wished that he knew what those things meant; he felt quite naïve... What could he possibly contribute to the chatter?
"It is good that you have somewhere to go, then," Elliot said to Attor with a sheepish smile. "...But is your aunt really scarier than being with another family?" he then asked, eyes wide, glancing between the two boys. Too, he wanted to ask why Attor could not go home, but felt that was better left unanswered...

Ty looked at his friend and wondered why he looked so strange. He looked at Attor and knew he would let it drop now but he would be talking with him later about this food thing. He didn't like it at all! He frowned as he looked at Attor. "Oh well...i mean if you don't think i'll be helpful withit then i don't want to keep you held back cause im messing it up or not helping." he said with a smile as he looked at his friend as they walked and he looked around. Looking at Elliot he smiled a little. "Yes his aunt seems that scary. It will be better at my house and then i'll have a brother now! I'm so happy i'll get to have Attor around all the time. I wish you could come over too Elliot...I don't care that your a ravenclaw, its the house i had wanted tobe in..." he said softly as he blushed and played with his hair as he looked at Attor.
"I guess we can but im not worried about connections and stuff, dad will worry about those for me and its not like im a very social person so i don't think i'll be of any help with it." he said with a small laugh.
