Besides, brooms can be charmed to do the sweeping for you.” So there!

Eli had never been described as sweet, not even when he was much younger and had an Angelic face with big brown eyes. He’d been arrogant and stubborn since he was in nappies. Ezra not taking the bait and complaining about having a toad named after him only wound him up more and he scrunched his nose up in response resembling a rabbit more than the big fierce dragon he hoped he looked like. “Mr Ezra Toadwood and he’ll be covered in WARTS.” Big and brown and slimy too.

But all that brotherly jesting (albeit quite one-sided) and teasing came to a stop the second Ezra wrapped his arms around him and Elias froze stiff as a board. With the exception of their mother, this was not a family well established in their physical affections with one another. Affection was shown through respect and conversation and proving yourself worthy to each other. “Get off meeee” he whined trying to wriggle free.

Truth be told that Elias didn’t mind a cuddle every once in a while but in PRIVATE and not in front of all these other children he was showing off to.

Ooh.. Touched a nerve. Easy to do when all you had to do was compare your brother to a muggle. Ezra giggled and then giggled again. “True True.” He nodded. “Brooms also make excellent transportation when you don't want a coughing fit in the floo network. OR you're too young to apparate.” Appartion was going to be oh so handy dandy when Ezra was of age, but flying would forever be his favourite. He didn't understand how Eli didn't enjoy it. Maybe he was frightened. Who knew. Elias would never let on if he was.

It was very very very easy to wind Eli up if you knew how. And as a big brother, it was Ezra's job to do so. But he gasped again at the name 'Ezra Toadwood.' How RUDE. “If you do that.." He retorted. “I'll get the cutest, pinkest, fluffiest Puffskein I can find in the menagerie and call him Eli. Eli Puffwood. You wouldn't like that either, would you?” Touché.

Ezra already knew how his brother was going to react to being hugged as he wrapped his arms around him, but he released him at the protesting and the wriggling. He'd have to remember that it worked like a charm! Or even better than a charm, or hex, in shutting him up.

He looked over to the girl with floofy hair again, who was full of energy and beans. She seemed so NICE.

Back to grumpy. “Hurry up, Eli! Let's get our books and get out of here.” He looked at the supply list. “And then I need ice cream.” Extremely important.
