Pollux let out a scoff, still trying to keep up the tough guy act, opening his mouth to say he'd never step foot in such a dirty house as his, but closed it atnhis twins pleading look. He was scared, this family was overwhelming to say the least. His features softened considerably at the look, and he let out a soft sigh, ruffling his brothers tied back hair affectionately, messing up the typical Malfoy perfection.
"You know I can't. Mother would have my head if I wasn't home for dinner," he pointed out at the pleasing look. He really was putty in his brothers hands, fiercely protective over his typically sickly twin. His softened gaze hardened when he turned back to the Granger-Weasley boy.
"Don't let him near any nuts, and I mean any of them. He's going to try to tell you he can have Pecans but he really can't. He's allergic to shellfish, too, and deathly so, so if he starts puffing up like a puffer fish because he's forgotten that he's allergic to shrimp, make sure he gets the medicine right away. He claims that he's not allergic to avacados, but he breaks out in hives when he eats them so he is. He's just an idiot. And he forgets about his allergies, so for the love of god make sure my brother doesn't die while he's here." He informed Hugo, a look of distaste on his features as he studied the red haired teen.

Hugo crossed his arms but nodded. The look of distaste was uncomfortable but at least Pollux wasn't being completely hostile.
"Not to worry, I'll keep an eye on him. He'll get home safe and sound. We're happy to have him for as long as he needs to stay, so whenever you or your dad feel that it's okay for him to come home, send an owl here. He'll be here. Caster can use my owl if he needs to contact you but it might get you in trouble with your mum if he's sending letters. But anyway, don't worry, we'll look after him. And come and talk to him anytime you want, I promise I won't make you come inside." the redhead replied
He felt bad for Caster, but Hugo and his family were already doing all they could to help. They couldn't make the Malfoys let Caster return home, unfortunately.
Pollux was being s little bit curt with Hugo but he didn't mind. The two of them had Caster in common, which was enough to keep them civil. They both cared about the Ravenclaw boy too much to argue or be mean with eachother, especially not in front of Caster.

Pollux narrowed his eyes for a moment at the promise, but Casters warning flares were enough to keep him quiet. For now, at least. He knew that the red head meant a lot to his twin, so he'd play as civil as he could, for Casters sake.
"Good. And I swear, if I hear that you've made my brother even the slightest bit uncomfortable I'll jinx you so that your skin is inside out for the entire year and you won't be able to-"
"Pollux! Enough you're just getting to be embarrassing right now!" "Excuse me? I'm looking out for you, little broth-" "I'm an hour older than you, you're my little brother if an-" "Oh come on, look how little you are, it's like you're a year young-" "St least I'm mature!" "I'm mature too!" "Bull! You can't even be nice to Hu-" "There's a reason, look who he's related to! He's probably got the stu- " "Can you be nice for once? Or are you actually emotionally stun-" "I'm no-" and they were at jr again, their voices hushed as they argued.

"Yes, charming, Pollux. I'm aware you don't like me, that's perfectly fine. But if you don't mind not insulting my family while standing on my doorstep, that would be greatly appreciated. I'll have you know I've never said a bad word about the Malfoys. So I'll give you my reassurances that Caster will be fine. Nobody will be giving him cuts on his face while he is staying with us" Hugo responded with a raised eyebrow
Hugo had maybe been a bit...rude there? Ever so slightly? But to be honest he wasn't particularly enjoying being insulted in his own house, so he didn't feel that badly about it. If Pollux was going to be rude to Hugo, then the redhead would be rude right back. He honestly couldn't care less at this point about Pollux. Hugo didn't like to be insulted.
He looked at Caster, trying to tell if he was upset that his friend and his twin were arguing like this. But Hugo wasn't just going to be expected to stand there and let Pollux rip into Hugo and his family, was he? He hoped not. Weasleys weren't known for being patient and they could be a little short-tempered. So Hugo was sometimes a little more stubborn than most people ever expected him to be. He didn't take things lying down it he really didn't have to, even if he was a shy teenager. He was sure that a Caster understood why Hugo had defended himself here.

Neither of the Malfoys actually expected Hugo to speak up. Caster was so used to shutting up Pollux that he hadn't expected Hugo tonsay a word, and Pollux just wasn't used to people actually talking back to him. They both stopped talking, the shock on both of their faces. Then their expressions changed, Pollux's face flushed lightly with embarrassment and Caster scowled at his twin, but his face paled and his hand went to the bandage on his forehead.
"You d-don't know what happened to his face. Maybe he tripped and got it that way-"
"He's right Hugo, b-but Lux, stop being a jerk. His family's letting me stay here, so cut it for now, okay? You can fluff your feathers and strut around like a proud peacoc.k at school, but be nice here," Caster said firmly, his mouth a thin line as he studied his brother, eyebrow raised. Then they seemed to have a silent argument. Pollux didn't want to apologize, and thought itd make him weak. Caster wanted him to suck it up. Of course Caster won after about five minutes of complete silence and Pollux huffed out a half hearted apology to Hugo, a scowl on his face.

Hugo raised an eyebrow and looked at Caster "Well, did you happen to trip and cut your face? Because somehow I seriously doubt it"
But the other boy's comment got Hugo to shut up and he didn't pursue the issue any further, not wanting to upset Caster. Pollux's stuttering suggested that there was some truth to Hugo's words, though.
He watched a silent argument happening between the two twins, looking at the sky behind Pollux as he waited for one of the two boys to say something to him.
Then Pollux apologised. Half-heartedly, sure, and with a scowl, but it surprised Hugo just the same. The Gryffindor was shocked. But the apology meant quite a lot to Hugo, because it meant that Pollux was willing to put aside the family feud.
"Oh, I mean, apology accepted. I'm sorry too, for being rude just then and assuming things. I shouldn't have assumed that anyone in your family would want to hurt Caster."
"Aww, isn't this cute?! How many Malfoys can Hugo make friends with, huh?"
A tall, dark-haired eighteen year old boy had put Hugo into a headlock and was laughing. Not in a mean or malicious way, more just teasing.
"Cut it out, James!" shouted Hugo's muffled voice
"I'm just teasing you," James said to Hugo as he let go and locked eyes with Pollux "Hey, Pollux, isn't it? Tell Scorpiuz I said hi"
James and Scorpius had hated eachother as intensely as Harry and Draco had once done. Scorpius had bullied James and James had bullied Scorpius. James was very proud of the fact that he had won the last wizard duel he and Scorpius bad ever had at Hogwarts.

At the apology the twins exchanged an odd look. Unfortunately the accusation was too close to what had happened. Their mother had some... violent tendencies when she got angry, and she was beyond livid at the fact that Caster was playing nice with one of the Golden Trios children. He swallowed, but offered a small, nervous smile to his friend. Pollux just rolled his eyes, letting out an annoyed huff.
"Well you should stop making assumptions on our family. We might have a bad reputation but we wouldn't hurt our own," he growled out before Caster could even speak. Caster knew the deal, though. They still had to protect the family, and what happened there stayed there.
The smaller twin offered his friend a sheepish look, as if he were apologizing for his brother, before backing away as the dark haired boy entered and put Hugo in a headlock. Pollux seemed to bristle at the comment, knowing their chaotic relationship. Scorpius and James hated each other with a passion, and was still sore about the duel that went horribly wrong.
"If I did he'd figure out where you live and-" "Pollux," Caster warned, raising an eyebrow at his hot headed twin.

"Hey, no, it's fine," James chuckled "I could take old Scorpius Malfoy any day. But no matter, I'll leave you guys alone. But hey, Hugo, don't spend too long talking with this one, eh? One Malfoy is quite enough to be getting on with, don't want to get Pollux thrown out too now do we?"
"Leave them be, James!" Hugo snapped
James swaggered off and left Hugo looking astonished and bright red. James was really quite the piece of work when he felt like it. Not good st all to deal with as often as Hugo had to
"So, uh...yeah...I'm sorry for my cousin James. He's a bit arrogant. He must have been talking to Aunt Ginny because Uncle Harry was just saying about how he doesn't hate the Malfoys. Sorry, Pollux. Me and Caster can deal with my cousins just fine between us. Anyway, I've apologised for making assumptions so we're okay. I promise I'll take good care of your brother here. And, uh.. if you like you can tell Scorpius that James had a pig's tail for a month off Scorpius' jinx so Scorpius had the last laugh really."
He was smiling at the memory of James being too embarrassed to come to family dinners and trying to hid his pig tail under his school robes. That was a good month, it made Hugo laugh like crazy and James didn't bother bullying James or messing with him at all that month, so he got a good break from that annoying older cousin of his. He hated James as much as he hated Fred,

Casters eyes widened a little bit at the comment of Pollux being kicked out. He bit his lip, hurt flickering through his features at thenthought of his mother kicking him out of the house. It still clawed at his heart, the fact that a friendship was apparently worth more than his family. He hadn't been given a choice, either. It was like him being friendly with Hugo was some kind of huge sin, and he couldn't get the sight of his mothers disgusted face at the hint of them being more than friends out of his head.
Pollux let out a soft snarl, whipping out his want at the sight of the hurt look at James' comment, and it was only Caster grabbing his wrist that stopped him from breaking the rules and hexing James. He bit his lip and stared at his twin, clearly ready to argue before he shook his head, and, again, the guy yielded. He couldn't say no to his twin, the more level headed one. Instead Pollux listened with a scowl on his face to the description of the pigs tail, and, at that, the smallest hint of a smile touched his features.
"Good. Guess he's not as talented as he thinks he is. Stupid Potter- er, no offense," he added hastily, trying to catch himself around Caster. But then he started to back out, noticing the soft, angry hissing of Mr.Tibbles and he sighed. Pollux already had enough of this family, and silently wished Caster luck. They were too used to the quiet order of their house, not this insanity.
"Look, Terri, I gotta go. Mother will be wondering where I am, but good luck with this lot and I'll see you at school. I love you and take care of yourself, okay?" And Caster nodded, setting his dark grey cat down so he could give his brother a hug. He heard the warning growls from Mr.Tibbles, before the car lost interest and wandered over to Hugo, giving him an unimpressed sniff before seeming to deem him worthy and sat down next to the red head. And after the hug he was gone.

"None taken," Hugo responded, waving away the insult "I'm not a Potter anyway"
Hugo didn't let himself be riled by the little insult because James had just been absolutely horrible anyway so it was perfectly reasonable on Pollux's part.
"Yup, if he's not able to go home by the end of the holidays we'll get him to Platform 9 3/4 and he can meet you on the train." Hugo assured.
As the two brothers hugged, Hugo watched the cat with interest as it sniffed hin and then decided to sit down beside him. Evidently this cat liked him a little bit too. Well that was good, he didn't much like the idea of being scratched to bits by thr feline.
When Pollux left and Hugo shut the door and turned to Casyer.
"Well...that was interesting what with my cousins running about. Sorry about them, again. James and Fred will be the hardest ones, but Fred seems a bit too guilty to be insulting you too much. Lily, Roxanne, Rose and Albus will be easier, they're nice enough. Rose is a sweet girl really, just a bit serious and uptight, like out mother used to be. Anyway, they're just round for the afternoon, I think. They don't live here, except Rose, obviously."
(BTW you have full control of any of the cousins and family members and stuff XD There are a lot of people here so you can control any of them if you want otherwise I just have all of these cousins I'm controlling and I feel bad)

(Lol okay XD I will play them, I think in a lil bit XD Poor Casters gonna be terrified during dinner )
Caster had a rather sad look on his features as Pollux left, trying not to let out a small whimper when he watched the familiar white blonde hair disappear around the corner. This was harder than when they were separated during the sorting, because at least at Hogwarts he could seek out his twin, really his best friend. They might argue all the time, but Pollux was the person who knew him best. He swallowed, rubbing his eye for a moment before turning around, managing a small smile when he saw that Mr. Tibbles was settled next to Hugo.
"Looks like he likes you," He commented, crouching down and scooping the dark grey cat up in his arms. The six year old cat let out a happy mrrrow at his owner picking him up, purring loudly and licking his hand happily. His tail curled up happily, clearly loving on Caster. He scratched the dark cat behind the ear, a smile on his face, his eyes softening considerably.
He heard the comment of him probably not having too much trouble, and he couldn't help but chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck, trying not to look too nervous. He gave a small nod, a little relieved that they won't be all like that.
"Well, what about your dad? " He asked, knowing he wasn't exactly welcome.

(You'll have to forgive all of the typos I'm constantly making, I'm on s tablet with no spellcheck and a tiny keybosrd)
At the question about his dad, Hugo touched the back of his neck nervously.
"Well, I can't say he is happy about it, but he won't dare say anything actually hostile. Even my dad knows it would be weird for a grown man to insult a kid like that. I think so, anyway. Even if he did, my mum would rein him in. She can be scary sometimes so my dad won't dare do anything to upset my mother. Or my uncle Harry. Don't worry, you have two of the golden trio in your corner. And me, of course. My dad's just a little bit short-tempered and moody sometimes, he'll come around."
"Kids! It's time for dinner!" Hermione called from the kitchen. She and Ron must be serving up.
"We should head into the dining room," Hugo suggested as he led the way "I think some people are already in there. Just sit next to me and it'll be completely fine. We'll eat and then I'll show you where your room is after dinner. My cousins will probably be leaving after dinner."
Thankfully, because there were just so many cousins. So. Many. Cousins. And that wasn't even counting the adults. Harry, Ginny and George were already in the dining room, as were Lily and Rose. The table had been extended to make room for everyone.

(Its a-okay, thats what I've been having to use too XD Well, its my phone but its still a tiny key board with a terrible autoocorect )
Caster nodded a little bit at the reassurance, his shoulders dropping slightly in what seemed to be relief. Of course his already-pale features seemed to lighten even more when his mother called out that it was time for dinner and he flashed Hugo an uncertain look. He just nodded, following the others directions by sticking close to him.
Of cours ehe didn't realize that there were so many people sitting there for diner. There were already five people sitting there, and he knew that there were more to come, and it kind of terrified him if he were to be honest. It was already loud in there, and he couldn't imagine the raucus when everyone sat down. It'd be loud, and chaotic, and he felt the beginning signs of panic as he sat down, seeming to try and hide the anxiety. He kept his back straight and his hands in his lap, staring straight forward so he wouldn't look scared straight (heh).
"Thats Caster? Is he actually a Malfoy? He looks so mousey!" Lily commented to Rose, studying the small, frail boy that sat next to Hugo. His cheeks flushed a pale pink, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the other, opening his mouth for a stinging retorted before he realized he was in her home, technically, so he really shouldn't say anything.

Hugo offered Caster an encouraging smile when he caught how nervous he looked and he was sure to have Caster sit next to him - and far away from George and the seat where he father would sit. He didn't want Caster sitting too close to them. He wanted to avoid drama if he could. The sooner the family got used to Csster, the better.
Hugo caught Lily's little comment and noticed that Caster appeared reluctant to say anything. So Hugo was the one who spoke up instead, not wanting to let the comment go.
"Well, you sure have a loud mouth for a Potter, Lily," Hugo responded "If you think that's a good insult you must've gotten hit by a bludger one too many times"
He didn't normally speak out, being a quiet boy, so he hoped that this fact would make his words extra effective against his cousin. Everyone else had been trickling into the room slowly until everyone had seated themselves. Hermione and Ron were carrying in the food now, and all of the extra people in the room was what stopped Hugo from saying anything more, since he didn't want to get into trouble.
Hugo gave Caster a quick glance, hoping to show him that it was okay to defend himself against these people. If his family should sit and insult Caster, Hugo didn't see why Caster shouldn't be allowed to insult them right back.
Hermione and Ron had sat down now too, and all of the seats were taken. It was mainly the adults at one end and the children at the other, and the adults were wrapped up in their own conversations.

Lily blinked, little surprised that Hugo spoke out. She purses her lips a little, looking annoyed at his comment and rolled her eyes.
"Aw, don't get your panties in a twist. I wasn't even insulting him. He really does look harmless," she explained, not realizing that the comment was just s oittle bit offensive to the Malfoy. Caster bristled a little at that, the scowl deepening on his face, glancing over at Hugo. The small nod seemed to be his go-ahead to bring up a retort, so he did so.
"Don't judge a book by its cover. I'm pretty good with my wand," he grumped, finding the still nicest thing he could say. He didn't want to get kicked out. Lily raised an ryebrow, a small smirk on her features.
Then the food came and Hugo's parents sat down, and Caster tensed, watching Hugo for a hint on what they were supposed to do. Was it a free for all? Was there a prayer? Was it buffet style? Caster couldn't tell and didn't want to be thrown off guard with whatever was going to happen.

Nobody bothered with a prayer in this household, perhaps because Ron always felt that a prayer meant a few extra seconds where he wasn't eating. Ron couldn't fathom why people would ever choose not to eat st the earliest opportunity.
So the family began loading up their plates from the bowls in the centre of the table, and it was mainly quiet apart from the odd voice asking someone to pass some item of food. Bowls went around the table and people loaded up their plates. Everyone was too focussed on the food to be too loud and raucous. Especially Ron. Ron just really liked food.
So Hugo had given Caster a quiet warning about what was about to happen before putting food on his own plate and his cousins to pass food on behalf of both himself and Caster, not wanting to put the other boy on the spot by making him talk to them. Nobody else has said anything so far apart from Lily's little comment. Fred was chatting with his little sister and it seemed that James was in an animated conversation with Albus. Rose and Lily were gossiping away and all of the adults were chatting further up the table.
"Don't worry," Hugo said to Caster "We'll be out of here as soon as we're done eating. And then most of this lot will leave."
Hermione was complaining somewhere up the table about Ron's bottomless stomach, and Harry was chuckling in response. It appeared this didn't change that much. Even Rose wasn't taking things too seriously.

Caster shifted a little, offering Hugo a large grin, wanting him to not worry so much about him. He fixed his glasses again, forcing his shoulders to relax as he took scoops of the food given. It really did smell heavenly, and had Some kind of homey feel to it that he'd never gotten eating at home. It was always made by chefs, and they had to be professional. So no stereotypical home made good for Caster.
He started in on the green beans first, taking a few cautious bites, befor realizif they tasted delicious and pretty much scarfing it down. He had a ton of food on his plate, something he apparently had in common with Ron: he had an endless stomach. Even if the food tasted like poison he'd probably still eat heaps of it.
The chaos seemed to calm down in the house, and it helped Caster relax a little bit. The talking died down to a quiet murmur, everyone focusing on their eating instead of interacting and he greatly appreciated it.
The last two things on his plate contained nuts- one was candied yams with pecans on it, and the other was something with peanuts. Of course r didn't realize this, and scooped a spoonful of the sweet desert with peanuts into his mouth, not paying attention to what he was eating. He didn't even notice how his throat was tightening, or how his stomach wanted to throw up the offending food from his stomach. He quickly switched over to the yams, though, finishing those first, not noticing how itchy and red his skin had gotten. The Ravenclaw really was clueless.

Luckily Hugo was a little bit more observant. He had not noticed Caster putting this on his plate, but he did notice the boy eating the two different nut dishes. His eyes widened and he grabbed Caster's arm.
"Caster!" he said, alarmed "Those have nuts in them, you're allergic! Look at your skin, your brother is going to kill me. Where's your epipen?"
He was trying to grab Caster's cutlery now so he couldn't eat anymore. The commotion had caught the attention of everyone st the table who looked on in shock as Hugo's eyes scanned the area desperately for Caster's epipen. Was it in his pocket? Pollux had only just given it to them so it couldn't have gone far.
Surely enough, there it was, jammed in Caster's pocket. Hugo pulled it out and made to inject his friend, not knowing how much longer Caster would be responsive. His hands were shaking with nerves.
"Stop it, stop it, Hugo! You're going to kill him. Let me do it. Roxanne's got allergies too."
To Hugo's complete and utter shock, Fred was grabbing the pen from Hugo's hand and aiming the needle slightly away from the area of Caster's thigh where Hugo had been about to inject it - "you almost hit a vein" - before decisively injecting Caster with the epipen.
"I'm sorry, Caster," Hugo sighed "I should have kept an eye on you"
"We don't have time for that, Hugo" Fred said calmly "Is Caster okay? He was eating - did he choke?"
"Yeah, I think he is okay," Hugo responded "Thank you Fred."
"Don't mention it." murmured Fred
"But-" Hugo interrupted
"No. Really, don't mention it" Fred responded
(Don't worry, I'm sure we can give them opportunities to save eachother's lives but I think Caster probably hasn't injected anyone with an epipen before and would be freaking out)

(See, Casters more of the "oh. Look at that. I can't breathe." Type of person wen it comes to his reactions XD)
The young Malfoy startled when his arm was grabbed and he glanced over, tipping his head to one side before Hugo explained that there were nuts in the dish and he frowned, realizing suddenly he couldn't breath. Well that might be a problem.
He felt like everything was in slow motion now, that he was warthog through a lense or something, opening his mouth and trying to explain that the Epipen was in his pocket, but found that the only thing rhat came out of his mouth were gasps.
Luckily Hugo did find it, hutnit was clear his friend was panicking, he could see the shaking hands as he tried to place the epipen on his thigh. He let out a soft noise, tryitnto tell him not to put it there, but he couldn't get his mouth to work. Okay, so maybe it was time to panic a little bit.
And then something unexpected happened. Fred stepped in amd took the pen away from Hugo, and for a millisecond he thought that he was going to actually die, but the other Placed the epipen in the right place, shooting the medicine into his body.
It took awhile for Caster to actually be able to respond, then medicine not as immediate as people liked to think, but within a few minutes he was able to take some wheezing breathes, looking a little sheepish at the eyes around him as he slink into his chair.
"Th-thanks," he managed, rubbing his chest in discomfort, his skin still red with hives,'although they were slowly becoming less itchy and red.

(Oops, I mean Hugo in the brackets in my last reply XD But yeha Catser is just like ''oh well' XD)
"It was nothing," Fred said as he sat down, waving off Caster's thanks "I wasn't just going to let you die."
"I mean, technically, it is a big thing " Hugo pointed out "You saved his life."
"Yes, yes, but don't get all soppy on me." Fred responded, cheeks going a little pink "Doesn't mean I like him."
Fred clearly didn't mean this, he was just still trying to play the tough kid and he didn't want to jeopardise whatever toughness he still had. He probably didn't like this kind of attention; everyone at the table was so surprised that were looking at Fred like he had three heads.
"I think," Hugo said as he shifted any bowls with foods Caster was allergic to away "We'll keep these away from you. Sorry it took me so long to notice you were eating them...and that I nearly killed you with the epipen."
"What is he allergic to, Hugo?" Hermione asked concernedly
"Nuts, shellfish, avocados. Right?" Hugo replied, confirming with Caster.
"Okay, those things will feature significantly less in future meals" Hermione smiled "And, uh, at least now Hugo knows how to use an epipen properly."
Hugo flushed and his hand went to the back of his neck. Well, at least Fred had been there to save the day. And the meal had been fairly uneventful before that point. Overall, could had gone worse.

It was hard to hide the amusement when he saw how pink Fred had gotten at all the attention. Looked like the Gryffindor was more shy than he let on. He leaned a bit back, looking a little embarrassed at the thought of everyone looking at them. Honestly he didn't like the attention on him, either, but that was fairly well known. He fixed his glasses, looking back at his friend when he pulled the bowls away from him.
"Th-that might be a good idea," he conceddd, looking almost embarrassed at the fact that he had to have it pulled away from him. He slunk back in his seat again, his posture leaving him as he rode off the after affects of his allergic reaction. He nodded in confirmation of what he was allergic too, look a bit embarrassed.
"S-sorry for causing so much trouble, miss," he apologized immediately, hating the fact that he'd caused a rucus. At least the attention was wandering away from him now.

"Oh, no, it isn't your fault, Caster" Hermione replied "You can't help having allergies, after all. Don't worry about it. Oh and please, call me Hermione."
"James Sirius Potter! Just because you're no longer underage doesn't mean you have to use your wand for everything" Harry called from up the table, one eyebrow raised.
James had used an 'accio' spell to get the salt shaker and both Harry and Ginny were rolling their eyes. Albus was looking like he wanted to do the same thing; Albus was no longer underage either, same as Rose was. The underage children were looking on jealously.
Hugo wasn't as impressed as his cousins and instead focussed on finishing his meal so he and Caster could leave the table.
(Probably going to bed now xx)

(Ok! Good night! ) Caster blushed a little at the quick brush off of his apology. He did suppose he couldn't help having his allergies, but he still felt guilt at the fact that others had to make different foods around them. He watched as James used the Accio spell and he couldn't help but snicker when he got yelled st. He leaned over, murmuring in Hugo's ear as he grabbed a bowl of food seemed "safe" by Hugo. It was the green beans. He was well on his third plate of food as he watched the others. "Sometimes I think use of magic outside of school should be based on maturity, not age," he murmured, not jealous of the little trick. Scorpius did this all the time, so now he and Pollux didn't really care that someone could do magic around the house. He continued eating his plate, although his stomach still wanted to rid itself of the peanuts, knowing it would settle soon. His thin frame was shaking a little, but was calming down now.

At Caster's comment, Hugo chuckled as he watched James sulkily twirl his wand between his fingers before putting it away, stuffing it into his pocket with very little care.
"Oh, I totally agree. He's totally immature." Hugo smiled.
James caught this and glared at his cousin.
"I heard that, Hugo. Just you wait until I can apparate." James snapped
"Oh yeah, getting your license, are you?" Hugo smirked "I bet you get splinched"
Hugo wasn't normally like this, Caster would know that, but Hugo had to be slightly meaner around his cousins. It was the only way to survive in such a big family, especially with Hugo's family being as competitive as it was.
Of course he wouldn't wish splinching on anyone; it had happened to his dad and - according to Ron - it was acutely painful.

Hugo grinned as his friend tried to hold in a laugh. He was pleased this was entertaining Caster, at the very least.
"The splinching runs in your family, not mine." James pointed out with a glance up at Ron, who hadn't heard the comment.
"We're in the same family, James, in case you didn't notice. But even if we weren't, it's not like it's a hereditary thing. It's about skill and practice, which means you'll probably only splinch the first hundred or so times." Hugo responded.
James, realising that Hugo was on a bit of a roll, decided it was best to drop it and simply returned to his meal. Hugo was quite witty when he was having a good day. Today was one of those days.
Hugo noticed that Caster was rubbing his arms a lot and his expression softened. He had been too busy teasing James to notice.
"Are you okay, Caster?" Hugo asked

"'M fine, just a little itchy," he explained as he finished his fourth plate, only just beginning to feel a bit full. He was eyeing the green beans again, but saw that Ron had snatched them away, so he was trying to think about what else would be good.
"You know, I'm not that allergic to Pecans. I actually like them, a lot, so if you could pass the candied yams?" He asked, widening his eyes so it really looked like he was begging. His arm was already reaching for them, though, clearly thinking he'd get away with having some of it.
He just wanted a bit more of that sweet stuff, and he usually thought with his stomach, not his head. Which is why he got himself in trouble when it came to his allergies.

"Nice try, Caster, but Pollux told me you'd do this. Allergies don't work that way, you can't be slightly allergic to something. Sorry, you'll have to have something else." Hugo replied.
He was trying to look for something sweet for himself and Caster; he was about ready to finish the meal and he suspected Caster might be full soon too. He spotted some cheesecake that Hermione must have brought out at some point for the people who were done with the main meal and just wanted some dessert. He pointed it out to Caster.
"Hey, if you're about ready for dessert and want something sweet, what about that cheesecake? We can each have a slice and then we can be done. Unless you're still hungry, of course."
Ron had a heaped plate further up the table, and Hugo was sure this must be at least his third or fourth full plate. He suspected it was his fifth though. Hermione was casting her husband the occasional concerned look, clearly not happy that Ron was eating an unhealthy amount of food. But then, according to Hugo's family, Ron had possessed a bottomless stomach since he was a teenager, so this was nothing new.

"I only get itchy when I eat Pecans! And sometimes my throat swells a little, but it's nut that bad," Caster complained, a little proud of the pun he'd just made, wondering if Hugo would catch it. Usually people didn't appreciate his incredibly bad puns, but he personally thought they were hilarious.
His eyes flickered over to the cheesecake- he was still hungry, but getting full. He'd probably want more than just that measly slice of cheesecake, but perhaps he could wheedle Hugo into letting him eat later tonight.
"I think I'd still be hungry after that," he admitted, looking almost shy as he did so. Pollux used to tease him, saying that someone must have put a spell on him when he was little so his stomach was literally bottomless. Of course he knew that wasn't true because he was usually full after his fifth or sixth plate and dessert. According to one of the muggle borns he probably had an incredibly high metabolism because he was still as thin as a stick. So he supposed that was a good thing.
