Axel was in a good mood. Granted, that's how he was most of the time, but today particularly more so. He just got out of potions class- his favorite- and was wandering the corridors of the school during his break. Potions had gone wonderfully. He didn't understand why some people didn't like that class very much, to him it was so straightforward and fun. Granted, inventing potions didn't seem interesting to him at all (good thing they didn't do that in school) but following the instructions on the dot and making a potion perfectly was one of his favorite things to do.
Truth be told, he wasn't just wandering around the castle aimlessly. He was really looking for his sister, Chloe, who was a professor at the school. He hadn't really talked to her since school started and he wanted to. He had to talk to someone about the Triwizard Tournament, which he was so excited about. Of course, he was too young to participate, but he couldn't believe he would be able to witness it. Being the ... highly enthusiastic Gryffindor he was, he'd already told everyone in his house. So he wandered.
He tripped, caught himself and spun around, looking to see if someone was there. This was the normal haunting spot of Peeves, so he might just be under attack by the poltergeist, but he didn't really want anyone else to see him tripping. That was kind of embarrassing.

@axel "kitty!" isaac tried to whisper loudly down the hall as he hurried down it looking for the kitten that had somehow managed to escape the gryffindor tower. he had found the marmalade kitten in hogsmeade a few days before and after asking around the town no one had claimed it so he'd brought it back to the castle with him. he didn't want it to go hungry so he'd bundled it into his coat and had kept it in his trunk for now. he'd shoved his clothes under the bed and made a nice cosy place for the kitten to stay while he figured out if he'd be allowed to keep it. but apparently the crafty thing had grown brave ad decided to jump out of the open lid. he had yet to think of a name for it so he was calling it kitty for now. he knew it wouldn't be a good long term name but he was still thinking on it. he rounded a corner in time to see someone from his house tripping over what looked like nothing. peeves. he was at it again. he hurried forward and put on a smile. "you okay axel?" he asked with a chuckle. "peeves .. there's some unsuspecting first years down in the courtyard just waiting for you to mess with them" he said to the seemingly empty hallway but he knew that the prospect of first years was to great for peeves to ignore. as he said that he looked down at his feet when something touched his shoe and he breathed out in relief as the marmalade kitten sat trying to play with his shoelace. strange. he leaned down to scoop the kitten up into his arms and hug it close. "oh you little .." he said as he nuzzled his nose into the top of it's head and looked at axel with a sheepish smile. "i kinda lost him for a moment"

"Yeah, I'm good," Axel answered as he looked to see who it was. He recognized Zac instantly. After all they were in the same house and everything, just Zac was two years his senior. Then he listened as Zac told Peeves about some first years and Axel was pretty sure he heard a wooshing sound leave the area. So it was Peeves. He grinned at his friend, "Thanks for that."
Axel watched as his friend's attention turned to the ground and he picked up a little kitten. It was obvious that this was the reason he was roaming the corridors and Axel watched with interest as he explained that he lost the baby cat. Axel smiled and started to reach forward to stroke the kitten before he paused, "Can I touch it?" he asked. "I didn't know that you had a kitten. When did you get it?" Axel asked curiously, watching the animal. He loved animals, of all kinds and shapes. Almost as much as he loved potions. He couldn't believe he hadn't seen this one yet. He thought he knew all the pets of the students in Gryffindor.

@axel "Yeah, I'm good, Thanks for that." he grinned a little when he heard the whoosh of peeves leaving the area to go torture some poor unsuspecting first year students. "Can I touch it? I didn't know that you had a kitten. When did you get it?" isaac nodded and shifted the kitten slightly so axel could pet him a little better. he hadn't had the kitten very long so axel could be forgiven for not knowing about it. he'd kept it in his trunk for the last while aswell which clearly wasn't something he was going to be able to do again. "yeah you can pet him" he said with a smile as he rubbed the kittens ears. "i found him in hogsmeade last week" he said as the kitten started to claw it's way up his arm trying to get to his shoulder. "he doesn't have a name yet"

"He's so cute!" Axel couldn't help but gush as he continued to pet the kitten. He loved animals of all shapes and sizes, but baby animals were his favorite. They were always just so adorable. He knew he probably sounded like a wimp, but he could tell that Isaac felt similarly about the kitten, so he didn't have to act manly at the moment. It was perfect. "In Hogsmeade? How in the world did you find him there?" Axel wasn't being critical, that wasn't his nature, but last weekend practically everyone was in Hogsmeade and he couldn't think of a place where the kitten wouldn't have been trampled. It was so crowded there that day. "Hmm ... have you been trying to think of names? Like, do you have any ideas?" His voice was curious, as it often was. Still, Axel was completely entranced by the kitten in Isaac's arms. When it wasn't wriggling around, he kept reaching forward to pet it gently.

@axel "In Hogsmeade? How in the world did you find him there?" he smiled a little and kept his hands around the kitten and he thought back to that day. it had been pretty hot and he had found the kitten lounging in some shade behind one of the pubs when he had been looking for louis. "he was behind one of the pubs" he said with a small shrug. it had been a busy weekend so he was glad he'd found the kitten when he had. "Hmm ... have you been trying to think of names? Like, do you have any ideas?" he had been throwing some around in his head for the last few days but he hadn't settled on any yet. "i was thinking oliver or oscar for some reason" he said with a shrug "but if you have any other suggestions? tell me" he said with a grin. any input at this point was welcome.

Axel smiled when he realized that he'd been wrong. He assumed that Isaac found the kitten in the middle of a crowd, but what he said made sense. The poor kitten was behind a pub, probably shivering and alone. No wonder Isaac took it in. Axel would have done the exact same thin. "I like Oliver," Axel answered, glad to give his input. He wasn't really all too good at coming up with names (he never really had to before this point), but he could certainly tell Isaac which one he preferred. "Are you keeping him in your dorm?" He asked curiously, wondering if the kitten would eventually be wandering around the common room.
"How's your year been going?" he changed the subject. Sure, they could talk about the little creature for a long time, but he nmight as well make it a real conversation between him and his friend.

@axel "I like Oliver, Are you keeping him in your dorm?" he nodded a little and looked back down at the kitten in his arms. he stroked the cats head lightly and smiled slightly. "oliver it is then. and yeah he's in my dorm till he gets a little bigger. but ollie seemed to figure out how to climb out of my truck and escape" he said with a laugh. "How's your year been going?" he smiled and nodded again. "pretty good, yours? been enjoying classes? i know fourth year was a lot different than third" he said as the kitten squirmed in his arms, obviously not happy about being there anymore. "are you looking forward to the tournament?"

Axel laughed when Isaac said that Oliver had figured out how to escape. "He must be one smart kitten then," Axel responded. Then came the questions and he shrugged. "Oh you know, OWLs are coming up, so the teachers have decided to drown us in work. Other than that, things are going well. I'm loving most of my classes, especially potions." Then Isaac asked about the Triwizard Tournament and Axel couldn't hold back his smile, "I'm so excited to watch all the events and find out who the champions are! It's pretty cool having so many new people in the school too. What do you think about all of it? You wish you were a year older?"
