Atlas, Emerald, and Seren ^^^

Asher and Atlas are not dating yet!

September 1st

Atlas's POV

"Em if you poke me one more time I'm biting your finger" I snap at my annoying sister as she continues to poke my face. "But look at your cute self..." she whines... still poking me.

I groan slamming my head on the table. "Lyra Malfoy" Mimi or shit um McGonagall calls our sister up to get sorted. Em takes her hand away and we watch in anticipation. I look up to dad who was smiling down at her leaning forward waiting as we were.

The sorting hat begins to mumble before taking a deep breath "Gryffindor!" He shouts, Lyra turns back to dad with a worried expression. He smiles giving her a big thumbs up.

"Hell yeah!" The twins shout standing up from their table. The hall goes silent as they stare at each other. "Ehhhh woooo.... go team goo" they try to save themselves from embarrassment. I roll my eyes as the hall erupts into laughter.

Lyra quickly runs down over to them giving them both a big hug before sitting next to uh... Iris. Yeah, that's Iris. Everybody seems to be good... I moved on to the Ravenclaw table to see Seren... reading... of course. She reads more than papa and papa loves to read.

Aaron nudges her and they soon start talking as she frantically points at the book probably fangirling over some character. Both of their mouths moving a mile a minute.

I move on to the Hufflepuff table searching for the curly red locks. I find Asher at the end of the table twiddling with his fingers as he bounced his legs up and down anxiously. I went to get up to help him, but I stop realizing it would draw too much attention for his liking.

Pressing my lips together I let out a low quick whistle. Some kids stop to figure out who made the noise, but most could care less as the food appears on the table. Ash knew though he scanned our table until he found me and I nudged my head to the door.

"I'm gonna go help Ash out" I whisper to Em standing up and excusing myself. She nods yawning into her hand "don't have too much fun" she jokes making me roll my eyes once again.

Walking out the door I wait against the wall a few minutes until the door opens revealing a very anxious Asher. "Ash what's wrong," I ask him as he rushes over, quickly hugging and burying his head into my chest.

I hug him, rubbing his back slightly "just breathe" I whisper trying to calm his nerves. "I-I thought I would be fine, but I'm all alone" he stutters his voice shaking.

"Let's go to the bathroom" I keep whispering leading him away. My arm still wrapped around him. "Ash you know you're not alone, we're all here for you" I add. He nods, but I can tell it didn't help him any.

As we enter the bathroom I take him over to the sink starting the water. He quickly washes his face while I go to rubbing his back again. Once he was done with that I sat him on the ground, sitting next to him.

"So what's going on," I ask again as his shoulders slump. "I have nobody to talk to, a-and I'm so scared to talk to other people" he whispers putting his arms over his head. His breathing picking up again.

"I-I can't eat in front of anybody I just got comfortable eating last year with Tate around, b-but she's graduated" he whimpers his hands gripping onto his hair tighter.

"Asher" I warn him grabbing his hands. He freezes letting go of his hair as I pull them down into his lap. He looks up his breathing still heavy while I watch his chest quickly rise and fall over and over again.

"Name 5 things you see" I whisper and he nods frantically looking around. "Y-you... the sink... archway... stalls... mirror" he gasps each word. "Good now name 4 things you can touch around you" I continue my thumb rubbing over his hand.

"You.. the floor.. the wall.. the fountain" he whispers his breathing becoming quieter. "Name 3 things you hear" he squeezes his eyes shut. "You. water. talking." He mumbles his breathing no longer loud gasps. He took a big break between each word, but it was better.

"Two things you can smell?" I asked unsure if he can smell anything. His face goes red as he opens his mouth to breathe better. "Are you having a flash fever" I panic. He opens his eyes shaking his head no.

I sigh a breath of relief holding up my other hand with two fingers up. He nods "y-you" he stutters looking to the floor. I squeeze his hand biting my lip as he closes his eyes again. "Lemon?" He giggles and I chuckle along with him.

"1 thing you can taste" I finish, he lets out a final breath "whatever air taste like" he continues giggling. "Good enough" I smile as his eyes fly open. Leaning forward I blow on his face. His giggling doesn't stop as he cringed away "you don't need to do that anymore" Asher whines.

"Oh come on I love doing that" I reply as he sighs "fine" he mumbles. "Back to what we were talking about earlier," I say squeezing his hand again. He looks back to me before darting his eyes away.

"How about until we get you another Hufflepuff friend we can eat in here or until you feel better about it" I reason with him. "He sits up a bit more thinking carefully. "Won't people come into the bathroom" he whispers leaning over to see the door. "Nobody comes to this bathroom and if they did... Don't you worry about the other people... I'll handle them easy peasy" I smile proudly.

"Okay? thank you" he thanks me not quite understanding what I had meant.

"Of course anything for you Ash" I answer him, wiping some tears from his cheek. "Let's get you to class now," I say helping him stand up. He nods clinging to my arm.

Both of us leave the bathroom and he refuses to move his head out of my arm. I didn't mind... who am I to lie. I am head over heels for this boy... I think it was obvious though.

Almost all of the adults say I've been flirting with him since he was born... I totally get it from dad.... papa is just scary.  "Class?" I ask, he shifts to look up a bit. 

  "DADA with Ivy and Iris" he smiles loosening his grip a bit.  "Got it" I nod back to him as we walk by students some staring curiously others use to it.  Asher usually misses weeks upon weeks of school because of illnesses so half the time students don't even realize he's a person.

I walk him to DADA waving to Snape.  He rolls his eyes opening his arms up the slightest bit as I walk over giving him a quick hug.  "Now get to class" he lectured me hitting the top of my head. 

"Owie! Ok ok, I will just give me a second" I groan walking away while rubbing the now sore spot on my head.  I stand at the door waiting for the twins to show as Asher stared at me from his seat.

  The twins see me and we all quickly high-five basically saying they were now the ones keeping an eye on Asher.  I wave a small wave to the boy as he waves back with a tiny smile before I bolt to my class.

*

   "Is the year over yet" Em groans trudging through the front door of the manor.  "It's only the first day you idiot" Seren groans snapping her book shut.  I roll my eyes again... with this family that's all I ever do. 

  Lyra lets go of my hand running forward to hug Herb who smiles jumping up and down while admiring her new robes.  "Papa!" Lyra shouts jumping up and down.  He comes running down the hallway... out of breath?

"Sorry I was... uh doing something" he smiles looking over to all of us as Em face plants onto the couch followed but the twins on their own set of couches. Seren rolls her eyes and opens her book sitting on top of Emerald who doesn't bother to complain.

  Asher giggles next to me and my dad got attacked by our little brother.  Once he gave him a hug he comes running to me "Awtls" he squeals now hugging my leg. I lift the boy propping him on my hip and he hugs my side.

"Papa look I'm in Gryffindor!" Lyra shouts raising her arms. Papa's eyes widen as he looks back over to her wiping his eyes... he seems tired... I blame dad.

"Merlin's Pants... Finally!"

So first chapter how are we liking it? Should I continue this or just stop now... be honest.
