While Atlas HATED to admit it, he had grown a certain fondness for Ore-son Welles last term. What had begun as a kind of petty project and this embarrassing need to feel close to dad in midst of everything terrible happening had quickly turned into a genuine care and appreciation for the infamous muggle pet rock. He hadn't really understood dad's obsession with them and why he had a couple himself and even bought them pet beds...but now...he kind of got it.

Which was why he was SPRINTING down the pathways looking for a few key landmarks that indicated where he needed to jump off the path and veer into the shrubbery a bit to start digging. During one of his times out on the ground before the war had come to Hogwarts, Atlas had spent his last hour with Ore-son Welles and buried the pet rock in its tin for safe keeping. He couldn't risk The Hoods™ finding the muggle inspired companion in his room, so burying him out in the grounds and unearthing him whenever he wanted a chat seemed like the most logical method to carry on. And then the war happened...and Atlas had entirely forgotten about Ore-son Welles.

So...uh...oops. Frantic Gryffindor coming through.

He was sprinting so fast that he didn't notice that the two second years by the tree that juuuuuuuust so happened to be one of his landmarks was his own brother and Dahlia. Skidding to a stop, the blonde hopped off the path...and tripped right over one of the roots and on to his face.

"Hey! Lo-" she had seen that root but clearly he hadn't. OUCH! That had to hurt. "Are you okay?!" Reaching out she offered her hand to help him back onto his feet.

If she had to guess which twin this was she would say Atlas, he was the one always getting hurt, right? If memory served her right anyhow. Hadn't he closed his fingers in the compartment door on the Hogwarts express at the start of term? She had been meaning to ask him about that, it still seemed strange to her.

Crumbled up Oreo cookies and chocolate pudding obviously did date loads better than actual dirt. Go figure.

He could use one of those sweets right now. Extra gummy worms.

Spitting out the dirt and scraping his tongue with his fingers, though it was not doing enough to get ALL of it out of his mouth and he would need some water for that, Atlas rolled a bit into a sitting position and tried not to look down and see the state of his pristine whites that were most CERTAINLY streaked with dirt and moss right now. Not looking....not looking.....he looked...and it was...well...not worse than he expected so there was that.

Ears twitching, he turned to look at the source of the voice and felt his face flush a bit when he saw Dahlia.

"Who? Me?" he said while clearing his throat and brushing some of the dirt off his chest. Which was a bad move because all that did was push the dirt more into the material and smear it around some more. And he knew that. "Totally. Yeah."

Oh my god, Atlas, why are you so obsessed with me??

Aries had been half way up the tree when all the commotion took place. Dear MERLIN.

"Yes, you, idiot" he called out from behind the two. "I think she is also asking if you are okay in the head" he said all too cheekily as he jumped off from where he was and made his way over.

Turning to Dahlia, he smiled politely, "Hello, I am Aries. You can tell us apart by remembering I am always the one who doesn't eat dirt"
