"We're going to Ernie's!" Ben said excitedly. For the millionth time since they'd started packing. Which had been days ago. "I'm gonna go swimming, and play pirates and hide and seek with Ernie!" Ben looked over and grinned at Terry. "And you too, Daddy! Don't feel bad!"
Actually, Terry was thinking that Ernie better have distractions in mind for Ben, because he didn't want to spend the whole week not being able to get his boyfriend alone. "Are we all packed?" he asked, grinning down at Ben. The little boy nodded excitedly, bouncing around the room. Bob the dog barked warning just before Ben crashed into a lamp, and a small disaster was averted.
"Right then, let's get going!" Terry had a Portkey all set up, and he made quick work of Shrinking their bags before picking Ben up and grabbing Bob's leash. The Portkey activated shortly after that, and soon after they were all deposited neatly on Ernie's front lawn.
Ben squirmed to get down and was running towards Ernie before Terry had even untangled himself from the resulting mess with Bob's leash.
"Ernie! We're here!" Ben cried, his little legs carrying him quickly towards Ernie. "Did you miss me?" He beamed up at Ernie and held his arms up expectantly, despite the fact that he was really growing too big to be carried all the time.
