Smiling encouragingly at Faustus when the boy straightened up he whispered, "Good job." Though he wasn't really surprised by Faustus's next words.
"Likely they did. They both know the types of reactions that will come from this." Harry told him as he quickly cast a privacy charm. "I'm sure he also told you who to go to for help. Add me to that if he didn't. I can't make my way through pure-blood society as well as they can but my name does hold some weight. I'll use that if people are giving you a hard time." Harry told him seriously.
"And I've learned not to under-estimate people's stupidity." Harry told him. "I don't think anyone would be that stupid but I've learned thats usually when people are." He squeezed Faustus's shoulder gently before dropping his hand. "Your father's a good man, you have nothing to be ashamed of where he is concerned." Harry told him, "And you are a good kid, with lots of potentional." He added with a teasing tone. "Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot."
