How was Aries so knowledgeable about these things? Was that even knowledge? Atlas wasn't sure but he was jabbing his brother in the side with his elbow just because. Was it uncalled for? Absolutely. Did it feel normal regardless? Also absolutely. And right now feeling a little bit normal was a really really REALLY welcomed.
It weird though, thinking about Auntie June KISSING. Aunties didn't do that. Professor didn't either. Aunties just...aunt-ed and professors just...professed.
More people were flushing out of the common rooms and one other kid was even joining in on the hug. He hoped...at the end of all this...maybe...Aries, Andromeda, Auntie June, and himself could be hugging dad.
Entirely missing Professor Schmoe's awkwardness and really only hearing Auntie June laugh, Atlas stuck close to his brother and even slipped a hand into his. You know...just to make sure to keep track of Aries and for absolutely no other reason at all. "Dad came for us...I'm sure of it," he whispered to his brother as they started scurrying down the corridor.
"Professor?" he half squeaked as they passed by the Muggle Studies professor. "It's okay. If you wanna. It's kind of a Flamsteed thing. Inconvenient timings for revelations." Just so the man knew. "And maybe get her tea roses. Because...tea and flowers."
But that was all Atlas would say to that because there was dashing to be had and and Shield Charms to cast, recast, and fortify along the way. And, thanks to baking adventures with Quinn, a Shield Charm was something that Atlas felt confident with.
