Terry hid a smile, but had to wonder why Faustus seemed so intent on avoiding his father. "He'll be worried. I'm going to have to let him know you're here, okay?" He reached out and ran a gentle hand over Faustus' head. "Whatever it is, it can't be as bad as needing to avoid your dad forever, can it?"
He didn't wait for a reply and stood, dusting off his slacks. "You two stay here, and make sure you eat. I'll have Dobby fetch Professor Snape." He leaned down and kissed Ben's upturned face, and copied the gesture with Faustus without even thinking about it, dropping a kiss to the boy's hair.
He went to the kitchen and called Dobby, asking him to please tell Professor Snape to come up, that there was someone here he was looking for. He took a moment before going back to put on the tea, and then returned to join the boys on the blanket.
