Lisa & Daniel too (again)! astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Lisa, Atlas decided, he liked. The other boy, the one who was practically looking at him like he was an ant through an magnifying glass on a sunny day (the second year felt the nervous sweats coming on so that would explain that heat)...Atlas was pretty unsure of. Unsure to leaning towards a hard pass. "B-because I was there. Everyone at Hogwarts last term was..." And even if the actual Crucio-ing hadn't been something Atlas had witnessed each and every time, the effects of it had been there. Still were for that matter.
It was hard to pay attention to class when you didn't want to, this topic feeling like a potential mandatory therapy session of some variety and Atlas just wanting to sink his head between his shoulders or maybe just curl up under his chair.
Though when the Hufflepuff boy spoke again...Atlas was quick to jump in and reply. "He," Atlas began, pointing blatantly at the first year Hufflepuff. "Shows a real lack of empathy."
Sometimes the best way to describe a thing or concept was to show what it was not.
