Oh...there it was. Right there for everyone to see. Atlas thought he would feel betrayed by his words being RIGHT THERE or mad at himself for not guessing that that was the next step to this activity...but he didn't. In fact, he found it kind of funny that it was right there in all caps. It was sort of like...armor...in a weird way. Sort of like...if it OWNED this assumption about himself and, figuratively, blew it up...then no one could hurt or humiliate him about it ever again.

There was another kind of irony about this...and that was in reading the list...Atlas was pretty sure he could guess at least a handful of the people attached to them. Or, well, who he ASSUMED they were about.

But then there was the thought about HIDING behind the assumption...and rather than it feeling like something empowering it was something to hide behind. Kind of like a mask rather than a shield. A mask to hide your real self unless people proved they could see beyond the assumptions...so then it was also like a test that people didn't know they were taking. A built in defense.

Many thoughts...none which he felt like sharing at the moment. Plus...he was also busy glancing back and forth between those two first years who now had to go see Professor Schmoe. Though, to be fair, if there was a professor to get in trouble with it would be their Muggle Studies professor. Another safety net of sorts.
