It was never a good idea for Martin to visit Terry for only a short time. For reasons Noah could not understand, his son was absolutely enthralled with his idiot of an uncle, and shrieked and kicked and cried whenever Martin tried to make a quick exit. This afternoon had been no different, and instead of having Terry cry for an hour, Noah packed up his bag and agreed to tag along to Puddlemere Stadium where Martin had some quidditch shit to do.

"You haven't even seen your uncle for half an hour, and you're as calm as can be," Noah said to Terry, who was wobbling between his legs on the floor. Noah was holding the boy's wrist to help him stand, moving him slowly forward and back as if he were a puppeteer trying to get his marionette to walk down the stage. A very gurgly, chubby marionette, but Terry didn't seem to mind it. It was almost as if he knew that he was waiting for Martin to return and was willing to be tugged and pulled around just to get some more time with his uncle.

Ugh, he was going to have to deal with this for the rest of his life, wasn't he? Terry being stupidly attached to Martin and Martin rubbing it in his face?

"Just don't start thinking like him," Noah said as the door to the guest waiting room opened and Martin appeared. Terry let out a happy squeal of a sound and dropped down to his hands and knees to crawl over to Martin. Noah rolled his eyes and stood, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

Being an Uncle was one of the coolest jobs in the world, and was one that Martin Boot took pretty seriously. Any opportunity he could think of to spoil and/or corrupt his brother's kid he took with enthusiasm... he was entirely attached to the little bugger. Hey, he had to like at least one of his nephews, right? But Martin had always had a way with kids, probably because he was already on their maturity level.

Jogging up the stairs after what had been a grueling Quidditch practice, he was greeted by the sight of his younger brother and his favorite little man, who seemed all too happy to be reunited with him again after his brief visit earlier today. Spreading his arms out wide, a giant, goofy grin was in place as he rushed to meet the crawling boy halfway, scooping him up to hold him over his head like a Quidditch World Cup. "Burrito! What's up my man?" He grinned up at Terry before bringing that hazel regard back to his brother, carefully situating the kid upon his broad shoulders. He was sure to keep a good hold on him though, of course. He didn't imagine that Noah would readily forgive him for dropping his only son.

Noah, realizing that he'd already rolled his eyes once at the sight of his brother, managed to control himself a second time and simply joined the two, eying Terry carefully on top of Martin's shoulders. His scrutinizing expression wasn't because he was scared Martin would drop the baby, it was more of why on earth Terry enjoyed being tossed around like a fool. Okay, so it wasn't like Noah didn't play those games sometimes with Terry, it was just that he would rather read the boy an educational book, or have him listen to recordings of the alphabet and numbers.

...okay, he was a Ravenclaw, he had to get this education business started early!

"You stink," Noah pointed out, his nose scrunching as he got a full whiff of what must be Scent de Puddlemere. Terry didn't seem to mind as he clung to Martin's head, and Noah reached up to fix the boy's shoe. That was one thing he hadn't quite mastered yet; Terry's clothes were always either too small or too big. Really, kids clothing should come with easier to read instructions.

"Is Puddlemere seeking revenge from this year's loss?" Noah said, holding back a smirk. He was a Puddlemere supporter, of course, but he could never refrain from teasing his brother (especially when Martin had Terry--that meant less arms for Noah to get hit with).
