Charms was one of the few classes that his wand seemed to function with any sense of proficiency. Which was a little ironic in some ways considering Atlas had very little confidence in casting. His confidence and focus with the subject had been shattered pretty hard early on in the term (looking at you, Kinsay James). While water under the bridge, so to speak, he nonetheless still felt a different kind of anxiousness every single Charms lesson.
And the seating arrangements did not help.
To afraid to ask why he and Aries were not among the other halfbloods, Atlas had been tempted to lie to people and say that he was pureblood. It was a guilt he felt settling in his stomach, guilt for some sort of pseudo special treatment. He figured it had to do with dad, there was no other explanation. And that...in it's own way...was maybe a good thing. It meant dad was still alive, right?
Head hanging and feet shuffling, Atlas moved silently to sit on the right side of the room, hugging his bag to his chest, beside an older Ravenclaw girl. He could see Nemesis Upstead out of the corner of his eye and, of course, his ears turned a tiiiiiiiiiiny bit pink.
