Rea wouldn’t know what such a feeling was, having been brought up surrounded by immediate and extended family members. The way she saw it though, was that one could be independent and still be close to their family. In fact, it was a must. It was always nice to have that support. Rea knew this couldn’t sadly couldn’t be the case for every family but she thought it certainly could always be for Christopher when she looked at him with his sister and nephew. Also, she didn’t know why but even she had a soft spot for Isaac. The child was too cute.

“That’s true. I think I’m ready for everything that comes my way though. I can’t help but be excited at the prospect of it all.” Rea threw him a cautious smile from over her book as well as a fleeting look. Her eyes moved back to the page, landing on the word that had been eluding her. Those eyes lit up. “Just a pesky word that I spent a good ten minutes trying to find.” Righting the book, Rea busied herself with circling the word in the original puzzle. “You can sit with me, you know. If you like.” The teen wasn’t that bad, Christopher, so as to leave you standing there.

“Right?! It’s going to be thrilling! I can’t wait to experience every bit of touring life!’’ There was genuine happiness and anticipation written all across her face. There was so much to look forward to and Rea was so grateful that Ko had invited her along. The girl nodded, careful to not let Christopher see the slight relief cross her face. Chances were that Koen had left out her childish behaviour. “I hope he doesn’t bore you with talks of my siblings and I.”

Being a middle child for him wasn't always easy. He didn't win medals like his older sister and his younger brother was a no-maj like their parents so he got a lot of special treatment for that. None of that mattered now though, he was an adult and so were they. Each living their own lives and doing their own things now. Cass was clearly doing the best of them all. At least in his eyes she was and he couldn't be more proud of her now.

Christopher chuckled lightly. There's nothing that can stand in your way then, hm?" He didn't think Reagan was the type to back down from anything at all. If anything she would probably bulldoze her way right through whatever it was standing in her way simply to prove a point. Her brother was a lot like that too if he recalled things from their Hogwarts days. Ah, she was working on puzzle book. Now that made some sense and it earned a small grin and a nod of his head. As for the invitation to sit down.. well.. okay then. "I didn't want to intrude without being invited first." However now that he had been, he slid into the seat across from her. "Thanks." For not making him continue to stand there.

"As thrilling as it's going to be, I'm sure it will be tiring too. From all the excitement and constant movement, of course." Touring life was hectic from what he had heard. "Nope, I wouldn't call any of those talks boring from what I can recall of them."

Later on in life, at some point when they were dating, Reagan would definitely mention that younger Christopher had had a heavy influence on older Christopher. A VERY positive influence because she would be a huge fan of his; she would realise just how kind, mature and caring he was when she eventually warmed up to him.

“Not a thing!’’ Rea responded, one hundred percent certain of this. She actually felt sorry for any obstacle that came her way. “Anything negative that has the misfortune to come across me will go POOF with the wave of my wand.” Maybe not literally but Christopher got the point, yeah? “How… gentlemanly? of you.’’ Her tone was a mixture of sarcasm and bewilderment. Bewilderment because WHAT WAS HAPPENING?! Rea had actually invited Christopher to sit with her and he had accepted said invitation! “You’re welcome.” Yeah. Yeah, he was.

“I’ve thought of that. There are so many times that I’ve seen Ko come home after his tours. It seems like he sleeps for days on end.” Reagan lifted her shoulders in a shrug. “But I’m anticipating everything that comes with touring. It’ll be a nice change from having to worry about exams.” Like she was currently doing over her NEWT results, which should arrive in a few weeks time. “Well, we are an entertaining bunch so…” There was an actual grin from her at those words. “Are you heading back out with Isaac?’’ came the curious question as she looked towards where she had last seen the little human.

*Kolyander* · 01-04-2023, 04:21 PM

A lot could be said about the changes that where happening and were to continue happening not only for himself but for her as well. There was a lot they had yet figured out about one another but time was going to help them with that. Time and getting a chance to actually talk without arguing.

Christopher chuckled lightly. "For some reason I doubt that for even a second." He had heard a few things about how she made things go how she liked or that was that. Actually, he was proof of that. How many times had she walked away from him because he 'annoyed' her? "Right? Lookit me being a grown-up." He grinned cheekily just a little bit there to show he was only teasing around. But no, seriously, them getting along for more than a minute was a shocker. Why she seemed so surprised that he had sat down, he didn't know but he wasn't about to dwell on it right this minute.

"Well can you blame? As much as I'm sure he enjoys it all.. is there anything better than getting to be home in your own bed again?" No, he didn't think so. "Ah, yeah, now that's something I don't miss. I have a feeling you did great though and there's nothing for you to worry about." He didn't know a whole lot about her now that she was older but he knew she was smart and that she likely aced all her exams. Chris laughed again nodding in agreement. The Anders certainly were entertaining. "Not that I know of? He asked to come back and be with his mum and sister.. so here we are." Which meant he was free for the remainder of the day to do whatever he needed to do. Isaac was bouncing around behind the counter now chatting about all the different treats and all of his favorites.

FearlessLeader19 · 01-07-2023, 11:22 PM

He didn’t doubt her? Rea found that kind of strange but then she recalled that Ko talked about his siblings and figured that maybe Christopher had deduced how determined and confident she could be. For some reason, she found it warming on the inside that he believed in her. Would you look at that? Christopher actually managed to make her laugh, her wordsearch puzzle quite forgotten at the moment. “I didn’t know you had it in you, actually.” Reagan smiled sweetly but her eyes glinted wickedly. Though she was playing along, there was some surprise within her. All this time she had thought Christopher to be pompous and stuck up and annoying. She once even thought that he hadn’t cared about her presence.

“I guess not. I suppose he even got homesick when he started touring. Though… I’m not sure if that might have been for Hogwarts or for the Anders’ home.” Rea chuckled. “It doesn’t matter now. He has his own home and I’m happy that he’s happy with his life.” Even if the young woman still struggled with having her older brother away, it wasn’t as bad as before; so yes, she was happy for him. Rea grinned slyly. “Were you terrible at exams then?” It was meant as a joke. The more the two conversed, the more Reagan felt her resentment for Christopher chip away, bit by bit. Reagan’s gaze remained fixed on Isaac. He was really a cute little fellow; she adored kids, you see. “So basically… he’s the boss of you?” Cue a tiny smirk playing on her lips.

*Kolyander* · 01-08-2023, 02:56 PM

Chris had heard a lot about all of the Anders siblings throughout the years. Sure not everything was current but he went by what he heard, knew to be true and had seen for himself. Time had a way of changing things, changing people. "Well I sometimes even amaze myself," he joked lightheartedly. It appeared that little by little they were surprising one another with their changes in attitude and he was all for it. There was a small part of him that wanted to prove her previous assumptions of him wrong. Why, he felt like this had to be done, he didn't know but it was going to happen. He would see to it that it did.

"It may very well have been both. Hogwarts holds a lot of great memories for sure and but family is really where it's at." That was only his opinion but he was speaking truthfully. Lots of great friends had been made during those years but his family was always number one. I know he's glad that the two of you have worked things out and he's looking forward to having you with him on tour." Ko was a good guy and really valued his sibling relationships. "I didn't do poorly on them but I'm sure I could've done better. At least on a one or two of them." There was no denying from him that those exams had been kick in the behind. One of his happiest moments from Hogwarts was when he no longer had to worry about them. Blue eyes followed Reagan's back onto his nephew and he chuckled. "Boss of me. Boss of his parents and siblings. He's a smart little dude." Smart and spoiled but not a brat. Thank Merlin for that.

Oh? He was determined to change her impression of him, was he? If he only knew that Reagan had already thought that perhaps she had been too quick to judge. Or that maybe that day at the wedding, the timing for which they had interacted with each other had been the wrong one. There was no way those thoughts would be known to Christopher, however. No, the teen would simply continue to pretend as though she still had full suspicions of him being an irritable giant. “Or.” Rea tilted her head slyly. “We could say you’re on your best behaviour because Cassie is here.” They both knew his sister kept him in line.

Christopher was actually turning out to be wise as opposed to only being a man with a smart mouth. “It’s both in my opinion too. Some of the friendships made at Hogwarts can last for the rest of your life but there’s no feeling like being in your own home. With your mother and father, siblings. The entire extended family, really.” Reagan laughed. “Okay, so which subjects were you bad at?”

“Got you guys wrapped around his little fingers, huh?” Reagan was grinning. “I mean, I can see that. Kids are adorable. I still remember helping out with Jude and Keighley when they were munchkins. I always felt as though I shouldn’t take my eyes away from them because I didn’t want to miss a thing they did.” Even if Jude was the quieter of the two youngest and required less attention.

*Kolyander* · 01-17-2023, 05:47 PM

Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Typically he wasn't the type of guy to get started off on the wrong foot with someone and make a bad impression of himself, such as he had. Things do happen though and there was time for him to right the wrong. Chris was sure though, that given the chance he could change her mind. "Aye' now you see, that would be a great assumption, almost as good as if my mum were here." That his big sister did but no one kept him in line like his mum. Even at his age he always respected that woman and did his best not to embarrass her. His love for his family was strong.

"Well would you look at that! The two of us agreeing on something," he chuckled lightly in a playful manner. One of his friendships from his Hogwarts days that he still was very thankful for was the one with her brother. After all these years they still got along great. "Arithmancy for sure. Astronomy wasn't exactly my best either." He had no reason not to admit his defeat in both of those. "What about you? There has to be something you weren't great at, hm?"

There was a definite grin on his face as he glanced from her to his nephew and back again. "That he does." Issac had everyone wrapped around his finger just as his younger sister and the rest of their siblings did. "You helped out a lot with them then?" Somehow that knowledge didn't surprise him at all. "And now they're practically almost all grown up and I bet you're still watching their every move whenever you can." It was surely a sibling thing, he was sure of it.

FearlessLeader19 · 01-22-2023, 04:53 PM

Reagan could neither confirm nor deny this about Christopher. What she’d remember for the rest of her life {and would eventually look back upon that moment with fondness} was that they had completely gotten off on the wrong foot and her giant {no pun intended} resentment towards him. She found herself laughing. “The only two women who can keep you in line then?” Out of pure curiosity, Reagan found her thoughts drifting, wondering if Christopher had a wife or girlfriend. It seemed too a personal question to voice so she simply pushed it from her head. “Is Cassie a lot like your mother?”

A slow grin spread over her face. “Do you think the world’s about to end?’’ she joked. See? The Gryffindor could play right back. Arithmancy and Astronomy were two subjects she wasn’t bad at. Rea wasn’t half bad at Astronomy because of Jude; he loved stars, constellations and all that jazz and excelled at the subject. With his help, she had managed to get by. “Those can be difficult subjects, yes. Equally difficult is Ancient Runes. I got a T for that OWL.’’ Look at the subjects starting with ‘A’ that had given them a difficult time.

It really wasn’t surprising that any kid could have any adult wrapped around their tiny fingers. Those darn cute and cherub-like faces could melt anyone’s heart. “I did. Or at least tried to because Jude’s just over a year younger than I am. And Keighley came along soon after so there wasn’t much I could do when they were babies. But as we grew, mom and dad allowed me to take on more responsibilities.” Rea nodded vigorously. “You bet! I try to offer advice or just be there for them. Jude… he’s been through a rough heartbreak. Keigh's got a complicated love life… I just worry they’ll get hurt so I try to be there for whenever they need me, even if I won’t be at Hogwarts this time around.”

*Kolyander* · 01-23-2023, 05:32 PM

Chris had no idea of it now but in years to come, there was going to be many times that he looked back on things and laughed. It was funny how sometimes the one you least expected became the biggest part of your life.. and for the better. "For lack of a better way in putting that.. yes." He gave a quiet laugh. "Unless you want to toss my nieces and nephews into that?" Those kids had him wrapped around their fingers. With the way he treated them all, he was scared to know how spoiled his own children would be.. should he be lucky enough to have any. "A bit. They're both very compassionate and extremely driven women." Two qualities he really loved about them.

"Well if it does, at least it will come to an end with us surrounded by yummy treats." There was a teasing smirk from him. Christopher gave a very audible groan at the mention of Ancient Runes. "There's some runes I understand and that are very helpful but otherwise that wasn't one of my best classes either." Cassie had been a great help with some of his studies. Siblings were amazing for that.

He listened and nodded along as she spoke. "Were you that bossy little one since you were older than them or their very best friend because you were older and could help them with things?" Perhaps she had been an equal amount of both. There was a smile from him in clear understanding. "Koen touched a little bit on some things with Jude and Keigh.. not much but enough for me to get the picture I think. Things are doing better though for Jude, yeah?" If he recalled things correctly Ko had said his brother was dating someone now and was happy with things? "I'm sure you'll be there for them as much as you possibly can whether they are still at Hogwarts or graduated and moving on with their lives."

FearlessLeader19 · 01-29-2023, 11:40 PM

Reagan laughed along with Christopher. “Okay, okay. So let’s see… your mother, Cassie, Isaac and your numerous other nieces and nephews?’' She giggled, picturing a huge extended family that was all Christopher’s and the only force that could keep him in line. “I don’t think they’d have to worry about you getting out of line then.” She nodded, not at all surprised at the comparison. The way Christopher spoke about them, the level of respect he had for them both was clear.

“Might as well scarf all the goodies down lest we’re hit by a meteor.” Was Christopher always this fun? Rea grinned innocently at him. “I’d like to take this moment to point out that the subjects beginning with ‘A’ were apparently our downfall. Or almost were.” What a coincidence.

“Definitely the latter! Need you even ask, Christopher?” Granted, he didn’t know her that well but she was still tempted to whack him across the head with her unicorn pen. In a playful manner, of course. Rea nodded. “He is! He’s got himself a boyfriend now!” Reagan doubted the feelings for a certain Ravenclaw {whom she seemingly got along with but still harboured slight resentment for}. “Jude’s happy, yeah. That’s all that matters. Want to hear a secret? I played matchmaker in both Jude’s and Keigh’s life… I uh… just felt the need to brag a little.” There was a shrug from her as she tried not to look too pleased with this fact. Never mind that she hadn’t found anyone SHE wanted to date. “Oh, definitely. I’m only a Hogsmeade visit or mirror call away.”
