That was very unlikely, he didn't like to talk about everything he had to go through for Taylor... and now she wanted to treat him like he was nothing. He really just didn't want to talk about that anymore...
"Well still books, and robes, everything else... It's hard when any money I get comes through me." Yeah, he was completely on his own with money. Brodie looked at her and nodded, "Though that'll help quiet a bit."
"Healing doesn't always help as much as you might think." Not just that, but he didn't care for healing. Growing up he'd always just let time mend wounds, mainly because they lived in a muggle neighborhood, "And in all honesty... I like healing the muggle way, like they say, no pain no gain." So yeah, just leave him be, he was perfectly fine being like this. And also seeing how that would only help his arm it didn't sound that appealing. He still had both his legs, still slightly sprained and weak from the accident. All he could tell that she was offering wasn't going to make it easier for him to walk without a crutch again. He nodded and shrugged, "I know but I'm honestly just fine being alone for the year." Oh stupid Brodie, wrong person to tell that to. Taylor had told him Min pushed people to socialism, he was just hoping it would be put to rest now.
Minerva looked at him for a few moments, really was he honestly just a mopey person or what.
“Your opinion is your opinion. Doesn’t matter if I like it or not, you are allowed to have it.” She didn’t like it though that was for sure. She shrugged
” Whatever don’t talk to her then. I think it would be better for both of you.” Min had been trying to be nice but the more she talked to this one the more she found he didn’t seem to care if she was or not and truthfully she was not in the mood for nice.
“You need to think of yourself as well. If it hurts you to have her treat you that way then stop talking to her. She’ll get over it. I know Taylor and she is a strong girl. She can make it if you stop speaking to her.” and at the moment Min was hoping he would if he was this grumbly around her.
“Oh I get it don’t worry.. I live with my muggle grandparents that were forced custody on me. They didn’t have the money “ He wasn’t the only one with money problems so time to get off that pity party and deal with it. Wow what was her issue at the moment she was never this mean. Min sighed she knew what was wrong and she had to snap out of it.
Now it was time for her to look at him again like snakes were crawling out his head,
“Honestly it will take two seconds for like each injury. You won’t have to use any of that anymore. I lived in the muggle world. I know how horrible it is to heal that long.” Broken wrist in dance, yep she knew. She would take this way of healing any day.
“Whatever floats your boat, but you do know that is a dumb saying, right? You shouldn’t have pain at all. People that workout where that saying is usually used, if they are in pain that means they are doing something wrong.” Common sense there really. She found herself shrugging at him again,
“Alright than, but I would think it would make for a super long year being just alone. “ SPOILER!!: Alec

"There's no need to--" Wait. WAIT. HOLD THE SNITCH! Alec's eyes widened as he looked down at the shiny Prefect's badge. "Minnie! That's AWESOME! Congrats!" How AWESOME was this? Cue proud brother moment.
"Oh no, not at all!" That had been the intention, after all. And he had been planning to come and find her at some point during the train jour--
... BLINK. Why was she apologising? "Erm... you don't have to apologise, yeah? I mean... now we have a whole school year in each other's company," So Minnie had better get used to seeing him around lots. Especially after everything that had happened to the girl over the summer. "Did the stay in St Mungo's help? And did the owl toy help?" He also wanted to ask her whether she accepted hugs again but... refrained from doing so. What if she wasn't and ended up feeling bad?
Him and Ells? "Yeah! We're great! Erm... we... went on a really awkward double date, though," And then he gave her a sheepish look, one that, he hoped, would say that the date could have gone better. A lot better. A moment or two later, he shook his head and smiled a little at the older girl. "Erm... so... are you looking forward to this year?" This was a safe topic to talk about.
... The next one, however, wasn't. GULP. NOOOO! He was meant to be making her SMILEY, not frowny. "I… erm… I'm sure he misses you too," Nodnod. "And it’s… what? Four months until you’ll see him again? Or two? That… that time will go by really quickly!" Was he convincing her? Or was he doing a bad job of this?
Minerva felt herself blushing horribly. Alec didn’t know she was prefect. How had she missed telling her basically brother that.
“I.. well thanks Alec. I hope I can be good at it. I’m really nervous I might screw up, but E has all the faith in me.. so hopefully I don’t let him down.” or anyone else down for that matter. She got up and gave him a big sister hug.
“I really have missed you, ya know.” She smiled when she sat back down. They had been super close for so long, it was hard when she didn’t see the ones she was close to.
Of course he knew about her summer. She had never lied to him before so she had told him why she was going there. He usually knew everything about her life. That’s why he was her little brother anyway. Fidgeting a bit with the St. Mungos talk she gave a small smile,
“Yeah it really did help. Many of the issues I was having, such as the hugging are gone now. I still have the support of the healers there if I need anything, plus I got to talk to them about becoming a healer so that was kind of fun.” She liked that she got to really see and talk to them while she stayed. The owl toy with this Min grinned,
“I loved the owl toy. I snuggled him the entire time I was there. He’s one of my favorites and he came along to school this term as well. Him, my bear, and my penguin from Ethan.” She had went from never bringing stuffed animals to school to bringing three. Was she going back in maturity.. At the moment she wasn’t sure.
She smiled when he talked about Ella.. It was good they were in the same class. She couldn’t handle seeing them as sad as she was feeling. No one should have to feel this way. She gave him a puzzled look,
“Who was the double date with? Someone I know?” maybe another of their friends were dating now. It wouldn’t’ be a super shock she guessed. This term was she looking forward to this term. She shrugged,
“I guess. Probably more so when it gets started.” Right now she just wanted to turn the traIn around and go back to her comfort zone.
“I hope I make quidditch again.” She was feeling a bit nervous about that.
Blue eyes snapped up to look at Alec.. Did he just say four month and then two. She felt a panic start inside of her. No.. Hogsmeade was monthly wasn’t it. What if she had been mistaken.. What if it was longer. She wouldn’t see him for two months.. possibly four. She bit her lip, but it wasn’t going to stop the tears from falling. She had pushed them away all day doing prefect things, but the thought of not seeing him for longer than she had already prepared herself was just not processing well.
“I.. I thought it would be only a month before Hogsmeade.” She looked down as more tears fell.
