"Uncle Severus!" cried Apollo, running to greet his godfather.
"Apollo!" said Severus, opening his arms to catch his barreling godson. Apollo tackled Severus, all-the-while laughing hysterically.
"Hello, Severus." called Minerva from the doorway.
"Are you going to help me?'
"Nope, it would be hazardous to my health." she said, walking towards the pair, holding Apollo's twin sister, Artemis.
Apollo got up, still laughing, and ran to his mother. Severus stood and followed them. Together, they walked into the dinning room.
"It looks good, Mummy." Artemis said, looking at the food as she sat down next to her brother.
"Thank you, sweetheart." said Minerva as Albus took his place next to his wife. Severus sat on the other side of Minerva. Apollo jumped down form his chair and ran to his room.
"He's okay?" Severus asked.
"Yep, he's just getting somming." Artemis said matter-of-fact-ly. Sure enough, little Apollo came running back with a box of peanut brittle.
"dear, after dinner." Minerva said, shaking her head.
"It's for Uncle Severus!" he said, handing the box to him.
"Thanks, 'Pollo." he said. But when he opened it, a rubber snake popped out.
"Brilliant, Apollo!" Minerva cried, jumping out of her seat with glee.
"Ohhh, you are just like your mother." Severus told Apollo, who jumped onto his lap with a cute puppy-dog expression.
