But he had to admit that Gus made such things fun. If he'd been reverted back to his twelve year old self on his own well Hugh would have hidden miserably in his room. As it was he'd allowed Gus to parade him around the school and convince him to get into all sorts of trouble. Okay, he'd allowed Gus to get into all sorts of trouble.

And there was no way he'd no go unnoticed suddenly appearing midway through the year with no explanation.

He hissed desperately, reaching forward implusively to pull Gus's scarf away from the back of his neck so that Gus wouldn't choke.
