Gus just laughed and shook his head at him. “Well, children at least bring me sweets when they’re reminded of me.” He had the biggest sweet tooth and was never one to shy away from consuming his weight in eating them. Last year Miss Dashwood had given him almost an entire box of sweets near the end of the year because she couldn’t eat all of it - Gus couldn’t fathom not being able to finish anything chocolate. “Although I do miss trying to get a cranky goblin to laugh. I never did accomplish that life goal.” He chuckled again and shook his head. What a shame. Maybe he’d have the chance to work on that again sometime soon. 

Although, if they sat him next to Endymion Gus wasn’t sure either of them would get any work done. He’d spend a lot of time trying to make his friend laugh, too.

“Sisters, right? If you’re going to do something daft, at least make sure I’m somewhere nearby so I can help you.” Gus shook his head again as he leaned down to root through another box. “She got hit with one of those amorentia envelopes and decided to ‘give the marriage a shot.’ Even adopted some dog named Seamus -” Who the dimwitted Gus hadn’t actually realized was his living, breathing nephew and the sole reason for the elopement to begin with. “And I swear she’s obsessed with him. Haven’t met him yet, but I’m not too keen on meeting a spoiled dog.”
