Draco stayed close to Severus, keeping his arms around him. "It's all right, I understand, although that doesn't stop me from whining and complaining," he said with a smile. "They need you as much as we did, except if anyone starts hitting on you, he or she will get hexed. It's not jealousy, but they don't get to have what I couldn't. I hope you understand that."
He kissed Severus again, and then stepped back. "He's been fine. Of course, there has been a lot of things happening here, so he hasn't had time to miss things, although he misses you, not that he says anything, mind you. Stephen sent me a copy of the curriculum he was following, and I'm trying to keep him up to date, doing the same for Violet... oh and Mother knows. She's been warned about what would happen if aunt Bella found out that Faustus is staying with us."
