Axel rolled his eyes, "Of course I'm going to pass. I don't want to have everyone on my back," he added, slightly teasing her. At least she was in the right mood for it. Made things easier on him.
He fake glared at her, "You know, every year you make less and less decisions. You do know that I don't mind doing things that you want to do, right? Things don't always have to go my way." He wasn't really angry, but he also wanted Chloe to know that he was ok. He didn't need to always choose what to do. "If you want we could go outside I guess." There would be tons of people out there, but that didn't bother Axel at all.

@axel <3 Chloe grinned goofily at Axel. "Good! I wouldn't want everyone on my back either. Have you seen or spoken to Lucas, lately? I saw him the other day in Hogsmeade." She knew Axel was old enough to go to Hogsmeade himself, but she wasn't sure if he actually did or not.
Their brother was an auror so he wasn't around very much, and when he was free Chloe tried to go see him as much as possible. Unfortunately, with Axel in school still, he couldn't just leave like she could. "Sure, outside sounds great." She smiled and walked back down the staircases with her brother, her robes billowing behind her. "And I know that, Axel, I just love making you happy."

Axel smiled when Chloe mentioned his older brother. He loved Luke! Loved the chance to be with his older brother. Luke was the closest one to him in age and Axel often wished he was a little older. If he'd been older maybe they would have been closer with one another. Even so, Axel knew that Luke cared. He kept in touch and came to visit him, especially with all the stuff that happened over the last year and Axel appreciated it. He knew- if nothing else- that Luke would always be there for him. "I sure did! I saw him in Hogsmeade too. He didn't tell me he was coming." Axel laughed, rolling his eyes a little. "He likes his surprises, you know."
He walked with her, excited for the chance to go outside. Soon it would be cold enough that he didn't want to go out there, so he needed to take advantage of it while he could. He sighed, "yeah, I know. It goes both ways Chloe. Sometimes you have to let me make you happy," he smiled to make sure she knew he wasn't upset. "So what do you want to talk about?" He asked once they were finally outside.

@axel <3 At the mention of Luke, Axel's whole demeanor completely changed. She smiled and shook her head. Of course Lucas hadn't told Axel that he was visiting either; he was weird like that. "Well I'm glad you got the time to see him, too."
Chloe laughed. Axel was too sweet, and he was definitely raised right. "Yes, I know Axel. But honest, if there's anything I ever don't like, I will tell you. How's that sound?" She didn't want Axel to ever feel like she was babying him or anything, but it was just the person Chloe was; putting everyone before herself, especially her younger brother. And at times, when he asked that particular question, she wished he was a bit older so she could talk to him about more adult things. But unfortunately that wasn't the case, and she'd have to talk to a friend or their sister about Calex.
"I'm not sure...got any girlfriends?"

"Me too! I hardly ever get to see him!" Axel exclaimed. Seeing his brother was the highlight of his trip to Hogsmeade the other day. Even though Lucas was an auror, he wasn't stationed at Hogwarts, so Axel didn't get to see him much.
"That sounds alright, as long as you promise. I don't want you to change your mind about it later," he told her, his eyes narrowed as he waited. He was pretty sure she'd agree, but he wanted to seem serious so she wouldn't think he was messing around. This was one of the few times when he wasn't teasing or playing around. He wanted to make sure that she knew he wanted her to be happy too ... yes, he knew it was confusing.
He laughed at her next question. "No! I don't pay enough attention to girls to have a girlfriend," he told her, rolling his eyes as he did so. "Don't you think you'd be able to tell if I had a girlfriend?"

@axel <3 Chloe felt bad about Axel not being able to see Lucas whenever he pleased. It was easier for her because she wasn't required to stay in school grounds all the time throughout the school year. And even though she was his sister, she wasn't sure the Headmaster would approve of her taking him out as he was not her son. "I promise, Axel. Honest." Chloe smiled at him. She would tell him...unless it was something he was extremely excited about.
"I might know...but you might also be good at hiding a girlfriend." She thought about it for a moment. She rarely ever saw Axel around girls...hm. That was unusual; he was at that age. "But then again, I'd probably hear about it from my own students and the other Professors." Chloe laughed. She didn't even want to think of Axel having a girlfriend. In her mind, he was still her baby brother.

Axel rolled his eyes. Chloe obviously didn't believe that he didn't have a girlfriend, but it was ridiculous. "Would I lie to you? I don't have a girlfriend, Chloe. You don't have to worry about that for a while, honest. I'm too interested in potions to worry about girls. And I have too much homework to worry about them either," he was thinking out loud by now and not particularly liking his thoughts. Not that he wanted to like girls right now, but he didn't like how busy he was. Still, he and Chloe already talked about that today, so he wasn't going to bring it up again.

@axel You wrote Claire 3 times xD <3 Chloé saw her brother roll his eyes and she gave him a gentle smile. She didn't want him upset with her, but she also wanted him to know that he could talk to her about anything, even if it didn't seem so comfortable. "Alright, alright, Axel. Relax." Chloé held her hands up in a surrender. Axel rarely ever got upset and if he did because of something she'd said, she'd feel terrible.

Chloe was holding her hands up in surrender and Axel smiled ruefully. "Sorry, I guess I was thinking out loud. I'm not angry, I just got distracted. My bad." By this time they were out by the Lake. Axel bent down and picked up a few rocks before turning to face his sister. "I bet my rocks will skip more times than yours," he teased with a smile. He loved skipping rocks and he was actually pretty good at it. Mostly, he just had a talent for picking rocks that were smooth enough to jump well.

@axel <3 Axel's smile made her shake her head at him, laughing. He was definitely growing up. And with that growing up, he was getting a it of an attitude. But he wasn't being disrespectful, Chloe would let him know if he was and she would stop that immediately. Her eyebrow rose and she shook her head. "No way, Axel. Mine will so beat yours!" Chloe crouched down and grabbed a few thin, slick rocks and stood back up, her eyes gleaming at her youngest brother.

"I doubt it," Axel argued. He was basically the professional rock-skipper in their family. If that was even a thing, anyway. He threw his first rock, grinning when it skipped eight times. He looked at his sister skeptically. "I'm not sure yours will Chloe. Unless you cheat and use magic," he teased, positive she wasn't going to like his accusation. Still, she should know that when it came to things like this he got very competitive and wasn't above smack-talking. He threw another and shrugged when he got six. Not his best, but that wasn't too shabby either.

@axel <3 Axel skipped both of his rocks, one reaching eight and the other only six. Her eyebrows raised and she nodded her head, showing surprise. And then he accused her of possible cheating my magic. Her jaw dropped open and she feigned shock. "How rude, Axel! I would never." Chloe laughed quietly and skipped one of her rocks; five. Her eyes lowered had her competitive little brother, and she skipped another. This time eight as well. "See? No cheating."

Axel shrugged, "Just because I didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen," he teased, even though he knew she didn't cheat. He looked at the ground and saw the perfect rock. Grinning he picked it up. "Watch and learn, Sis," he told her, flinging the rock out of his hand with well-practiced skill. He watched the rock as it skipped over and over, then turned to Chloe with a smug look on his face. "I counted fourteen times there. You?" He was trying so hard not to grin and it was killing him.

@axel <3 Chloe's jaw dropped at her younger brother. He was being such a little turd! Her head moved back and forth, tryin to stifle a laugh that she so wanted to let out. He was definitely very confident in his rock skipping skills, which he should be. He was actually pretty good at it; his next rock skip definitely proved that to her. Chloe's eyes counted Axel's rock, skip, skip, skip...fourteen. Just like he said. Her eyes snapped to him and she stuck her tongue out at him. "You're just a show off."

Axel could hardly keep himself from laughing as he watched Chloe's face. She didn't think he was that good; he could see it in her eyes. It didn't matter, he could prove himself easy. He stuck his tongue out at Chloe when she called him a show off, "You're just saying that because I'm winning. Aren't you going to try and beat my new record or do you concede defeat?" Apparently he was in a mood, but there wasn't much he was going to do about it. He hadn't let himself out like this in front of her for a while.
