'Shocking way to start Christmas' Draco thought. Everyone for good reason has agreed it would be best to pause Christmas until Lucius was better. Draco didn't care for the presents, he cared for family tradition. For all his life Christmas had been run on a smooth schedule, never once visiting his Father in the hospital he was scared and nervous.
"Need one?" Harry called from the door with a glass of Firewhiskey.
Draco walked across the room and took the glass, pausing for a second and 'Clinking' his glass with Harry's.
"Merry Christmas Brother." Draco looked at Harry with a half smile.
"Cis..Mother has already floo'd to Fathers side, Sirius said she went at around 4am, I suppose that's when he started to show some signs of coming around."
Draco just nodded and downed the rest of his tumbler.
"Hermione is at her parents until tomorrow, where is Tori?"
"Astoria has set it upon herself to help Mother here, she has been dictating to the house elves their duties for today, they have listened to her thankfully. She will stay here when we go to St Mungos, she says its not her place... At least she is on form here."
"Ready boys?" Sirius called as he was walking past.
"Sirius?" Draco called back
"Merry Christmas Draco, whats the matter?"
"When are we sharing gifts? Are we doing it when Father is home?"
"I presumed that was the plan."
"Do you think Mother would mind if I gave him just one present early? I have been working on it for several months."
"No Draco, I don't think she will mind."
Arriving at the Hospital, Draco walked slower and slower behind Sirius and Harry until the three stopped outside a room.
"Draco, you go in first, Sirius and I will come in shortly." Harry looked at his brother with hope
"Nonsense... I am ... Fine." Lucius managed to cough out to the men.
As they walked in, Lucius was propped up in bed, his face paler than usual, his hair pulled back in a bow, a few bruises around his face and chest but what was very noticeable was his leg in plaster.
"Merry Christmas Father." Draco had paled rather quickly upon seeing how rough his father looked but tried to put a front on.
"Come here boys." Narcissa motioned for them to come closer as Sirius sat at the back.
"Have they managed to save your leg?" Harry asked.
"We don't know yet, but hey at least I am still here... The good news is I can come home today as long as I am on bed rest. Joys of magical healing."Lucius smiled
After a pause Sirius turned to Draco.
"Don't you have something for your Father Draco?"
Lucius looked at his Son with a raised eyebrow.
"I.. I made this for your Christmas gift, I found the Idea in April and I have been working on it since." Draco mumbled passing his father a Crystal
"This is Amazing Draco...I can feel your magic humming through it... Thank you very much." Lucius sincerely thanked his son.
"Technically it is a Rose Quartz but with special runes and wards I managed to change the colour to green for you."
Lucius leaned over and hugged his son.
Lucius's Nurse walked in and checked his vitals and signed his chart off. Handing vials to Narcissa and strict instructions for them. Sirius found a wheelchair they could loan until Lucius and Physio to walk again...If the operation has worked to allow such.
Presents were exchanged to Lucius before he had to head to his bed for rest, he had only just managed to open Harry's briefcase and thanks him with such emotion due to his potions and exhaustion. Astoria and Hermione walked in, not wanting to interrupt the first family Christmas too much, regardless of been told they wouldn't be interrupting anything. Both of them wish Lucius a Merry Christmas as Sirius helped him to bed.
Harry handed Draco and Hermione theirs from him and Astoria, Draco they had bought a well known magical stethoscope and some new winter gloves, Hermione they had some HM personalized parchment made up for her. They had handed Narcissa her winter coat, bag and matching gloves, she had seen them in Madaam Malkins window but did not have time to buy. Sirius came back just in time for his gift, they had bought new gloves, a new cloak and a new wizarding wireless Astoria had opened her presents and kissed Harry's cheek, she then handed him hers.
"Harry before you open it, I have been working with Severus and Sirius to make this for you."
Harry opened the present to find a notebook. He watched Astoria pull a matching on and she put the tip of her wand down on the paper and started writing. Harry opened his book to seen Astoria's handwriting reading 'I LOVE YOU'.
"Tori this is amazing, I love you two." Harry shocked himself, finding this was the first time they had actually admitted their feelings to each other, he kissed her on the cheek again.
"Mother, what did the Nurse tell you about Father?" Draco knew when his mother was hiding things from him.
"I wasn't going to tell you all, but you deserve to know" she sighed and looked at Sirius. "I was fire called at 4am this morning because they didn't think your father would make it, by the time I got their he had perked up within 10 minutes, the nurse seem to have think it was because of our bonding we had on our wedding day, our magical cores seem to help each other heal. They were happy about this but admitted that the surgery didn't go well and they are not sure if he will walk again. Severus is his potions administrator, until he and Harry go travelling...His Physiotherapist is your Aunt Andromeda, I haven't told him yet, I think he will push for a male Physiotherapist but we will see how he heals."
Known looks were just passed around, everyone needed to rally around for Lucius to heal well.
