I'm so glad when people review this. When I first began writing it, the main concern was since it's a crossover, people wouldn't like the whole "AxelxHarry" thing. But wow. O.o Sixteen reviews?! :cries in corner:

Harry raised an eyebrow as he looked his friend over, the tall red head all but collapsing on to the Table at Lunch. "Um...are you okay?"

Axel nodded, turning to face him and revealing a large cut on his cheek. "Yeah, 'm fine. Since there wasn't anything better to do, Roxas wanted to spar around with me, and decided, 'hey, let's practice our magic Axel! It'll be fun'!"

"Your...magic?" Harry echoed, curious. Was it the magic they knew before they came here? He was interested.

"Yeah...Ours is a lot different than yours." Axel mulled over how to explain it without telling him everything. "See...our magic gives us certain control over a specific things. Like, the elements, healing, things like that. But not everyone's is the same, and if they have the same element, they have a totally different style."

"Sounds cool." the black haired boy muttered. "What element would I be?"

Axel chuckled. "Light, no doubt. Roxas is Light as well, and so is Sora. Riku's is darkness, and I remember that Namine was mostly healing, but her powers were more powerful with memories."

Harry didn't know who Namine was, but didn't worry about it. "And yours?"

Axel snorted. "Isn't it obvious?"

He blinked. "Er, well...no?"

The older teen rolled his eyes. "Fire, Harry. Duh."

'Now that I think about it...' Harry almost slapped himself in the forehead. Axel was always by the fire, snappy and explosive, his hair, how he hated cold yet never seemed to get cold, and always admitting heat from his body. He frowned a little. They sure were an odd bunch. And he noticed that Ron seemed more interested in hanging out with Sora and Riku now. He guessed he should feel jealous, but he was too busy learning more about Axel.

He was so...different. He had been here three days and he still manage to make Harry feel nervous whenever he was around. His whole world was turned upside down, making him question a lot of things that made the Boy Who Lived blush when no one was looking.

"So, Harry." Axel nudged him, getting his attention. "When do we know what classes we have?"

"Tomorrow in the morning." Harry explained. "McGonagall will pass out our schedules, and then we go from there."

"We better have some damn good classes." the red headed muttered darkly. "How hard is it to wave a stick?! I mean, please."

"What did you use for your magic?" Harry asked. All the other Wizards he had seen had used wands.

Axel shook his head, red hair spilling over his shoulder. "Maybe I'll tell you some other time."

Before Harry could respond, someone sat to Axel's other side. Roxas glared at both of them, supporting a black eye and some cuts. He was mostly glowering at Axel, but shot the other boy a few looks as well.

"W-what happened?" Harry's eyes widened when he took in the sight of the blond.

Roxas snorted. "Sparring. Dammit Axel, if I'd knew you'd freak out, I wouldn't have bothered."

Axel had done that? Harry stared, not sure how, exactly, they were sparring. How do you fight with elements?

"Sorry. I mean, the you made the comment about my ribs, and I panicked. They hurt you know." Axel muttered, looking guilty.

"Then have the nurse lady heal you!" Roxas argued, looking angry but both could see he was concerned. "Axel, you almost blew me up! After you punched me in the face! You're lucky the Lady can heal this black eye, or I'd have you killed! Again!"

Axel sunk down in his seat. "Sorry..."

Harry looked between them, frowning. Roxas might be worried, but it seemed like he was taking it too far. It was obvious Axel felt horrible. Plus, what did he mean by being killed again? Axel wasn't dead. And there wasn't a way to come back to life, right?

"This is awesome!!" Sora gushed, blue eyes big as he looked Harry's broom over. "Can I try, Harry?! Please?!"

"No." Riku cut in. "Sora, use a different broom. Maybe we can have His Majesty get you your own after you've practiced?"

"Who's 'his majesty'?" Ron asked, making a face.

Hermione nodded. "I haven't heard of any official kings in the Wizarding world."

Axel rolled his eyes. "He's the one who taught Riku and Sora their magic. Me and Roxas were taught by a guy named Xemnas...or Xehanort. Anyway, turns out they were bitter enemies, so Xemnas is dead now."

"They still call him that because they respect him so much." Roxas nodded, shrugging. "I'm not sure what to call him, really. He's not my teacher, and he hates our guts, so..."

"Well, let's do this before it gets dark out." Ron said, mounting his broom. "Tomorrow are classes, so we need to relax as much as possible."

"Playing soccer on brooms is relaxing?" Axel dryly asked, getting a look from Roxas. "Okay, whatever. I want to try this."

They each got their own brooms from the storage, Harry teaching them how to kick off and steer. They all learned rather quickly, and were in the air, enjoying their freedom before Ron got impatient, wanting to play Quittich.

"Okay..." Harry looked them over to see who on his team (Axel and Riku) would be best as who. "Riku, you can be a Beater...Me and Axel will be Chasers."

"So, what do we do?" Axel asked.

"Well, you and me will be trying to score with the red ball. Riku will have a bat and hit Bludgers away...In a real game, there are seven Chasers, two beaters, a keeper and a seeker." Harry explained. "Ron and Roxas will probably be Chasers while Sora's a beater."

"Sounds like fun." Riku smirked, competitive nature coming out in full view.

Fifteen minutes into the game, and it had to be stopped. Harry sighed, hands on his hips as Axel whistled innocently. He had all but tackled Roxas off his broom, tickling the blond boy and making Roxas take Sora's bat and chase after him.

"You guys are weird." Ron said, making Hermione, in the stands, yell, "RON!"

"Sorry, got carried away." Axel said sheepishly.

They continued on. Now that Harry paid attention, though...all of them were good. Maybe this is a good thing that they came now. Fred and George were gone, so they needed new beaters, and Sora and Riku were perfect for the job. Axel was a pretty good Chaser when he got serious, and Roxas had a habit of blocking the ball whenever it came near him. Keeper-like reflexes...

Throwing the ball to Axel, Harry smiled, loving being back on his broom, the Fire Bolt. He glanced around to see where everyone was when he noticed Axel stretching to catch the ball. His shirt rode up, and the black haired boy felt a little sick. The skin over his rib cage was all bruised and purple.

It seemed Roxas had noticed too because he frowned. "Axel, you really should get the Nurse to look at that."

Axel rolled his eyes. "I'm fine, Roxas."

"I think you should too, Axel." Harry chimed in. "I'm thinking you guys should try out for Quittich, but you can't do that if you're hurt."

Sora perked up. "Oh, I wanna join!! Right, Riku??"

Riku smiled. "Right."

"Fine, fine. I'll see her tomorrow..." Axel scuffed, looking annoyed.

"We should get going anyway." Hermione said once they reached the ground. "It's getting dark, and we can't break curfew."

"Alright."

"Oi, Harry. Which teacher is which?" Axel asked, his arm on the black haired boy's head, much to his annoyance as he leaned over.

Harry shrugged off his arm; Axel and Sora were rather touchy. "Um, McGonagall, you know her. Then Flitwick, the tiny professor up there. Um...we have Snape with the Slytherines, you'll learn to hate that. Snape always favors them. Hagrid, he's awesome, though has a weird sense of 'cute' and...the new teacher."

Axel frowned. "He's not up there..."

"Probably doesn't want attention." Roxas murmured, eating some of the food, though still cautious of what it all was. Food here was rather different than Never Was.

"I hope he's good." Hermione said. "We've had some misfortunes with the others."

"Yeah, we heard." Axel snorted. "A Werewolf, huh? That'd be awesome. That Umbridge sounded awful...I might've gotten expelled if she thought she could boss me around."

"Lupin was amazing!" Ron cut in. "You actually liked what he was teaching, and he wasn't possessed, annoying, Snape, or anything!"

"Snape? The greasy one with the nose?" Roxas made a face. "Why him?"

"Wants to be D.A.D.A. teacher since forever." Harry answered. "Dumbledore hasn't given it to him though."

"Riku, look!!" They turned when they heard Sora yelling, getting most of the tables attention. "ICE CREAM!!"

Riku face-palmed. "Sora..."

Harry smiled. "Let's get going, okay?"

Axel sighed darkly, hands in his pockets. "This sucks."

"It wasn't that bad." Hermione said, attempting to cheer him up. "It could be worse! One year, Dean blew up a feather and lost his eyebrows."

The red head just pouted. Harry laughed a little, not wanting him to get angry. All of the two last lessons, Axel had blown up everything he tried to either change or charm. He was obviously getting frustrated. Luckily, the teachers knew of the switch in magics, and they didn't say anything other than for him to practice.

"Don't worry, Snape doesn't use a wand unless he's making you start over." Ron muttered. "He's so annoying."

"Where's Sora?" Ron asked, looking around as they headed to the dungeons.

"He ran ahead. Probably wanting to see Riku." Axel replied.

"Well, well. If it isn't Potter."

Harry sighed. "Hello Draco."

Draco Malfoy smirked, Crabb and Goyle on his sides as he stood with his fellow Slytherines. "Having fun with your fag friend?"

To their surprise, Axel chuckled. "Oh please, if that's the best you can do, stop. I'll die of laughter."

The pale blond scowled, obviously not expecting such a reaction. "So you admit it then?"

"Please, Blondie. I'm not gay, I'm bi, and just because your stupid little culture doesn't accept that doesn't mean I'm going to hide it." Axel sneered.

"Just drop it, Malfoy." Harry cut in quickly, seeing as the other was going to say something. "Unless you want to see how different your magic is to his."

Axel smirked. "I don't need magic for you, shorty."

It was then that Draco realized just how much taller Axel was than him and any of his 'friends'. Glaring, he went with them to wait for Snape to arrive. Shaking his head, Harry looked around, seeing Sora and Riku talking by the wall and Roxas sitting on the floor. Odd enough, he was staring at the black haired boy. Or rather...glaring.

'What did I do?' Harry thought, frowning. But it was then that he saw it; jealousy. It would seem odd, but the more he thought about it, the clearer it was. Axel and Roxas were best friends, but now he was spending all his time with him because of the House Separation. Obviously, Roxas thought he was replacing him as the best friend.

"Enough of your worthless bickering." Snape said smoothly as he let them into the Potions Room. "Take a seat and remain quiet."

Harry sat next to both Ron and Axel, with Roxas next to the red head. Sora and Riku sat behind them, Dean on Sora's other side as they whispered. Axel looked around the room as Snape all but glided to the front.

"This place is creepy..." Axel muttered. "Reminds me of Vexen's lab, only not as weird and I'm not being experimented on."

"That can be arranged if you keep speaking." Snape said, staring at him.

Axel glared back. "Huh, thing about Vexen. He died in a mysterious fashion."

Snape smirked, making a shiver go down some of their spines. "I'd take offense if that weren't such a...empty threat."

Axel and Roxas's eyes widened before they seemed to get angry, having to actually be held back by Harry, Sora and Riku. "Calm down, you guys." Sora hissed.

"Yeah. What does an ignorant pompous like him know, okay? He wasn't there." Riku added.

Harry wondered what was such a big deal. Snape had only said empty...What was so wrong with that? He could say a lot worse. But judging by how Axel and Roxas glared at the smirking man, there was a hidden meaning. Frowning, Harry wondered what it was. He would find out.
