Hey y'all! First of all I am so sorry this is going up later than planned. I had to wipe my computer on Sunday, when I'd planned to update and I lost everything. Luckily all my fanfics were backed up on the OneDrive and my memory stick but I was missing one part so had to type that up again. Only just finished typing it so getting this up now. Thanks for sticking with me.

Lots of festive love,

Flora-Part 25:

Tina hurried to her sister and instantly began to check Flora over. The main concern was her head as that really did hit the table as the witch fell over. Queenie hurried over and summoned the first aid kit they always had in the auror office as Flora remained lifeless on the floor as Lucianna rushed in with Graves.

"Forget the kit. Tina get her in your arms; Queenie grab on," Lucianna said before Tina had Flora in her arms and Queenie had barely managed to grab on before Lucianna apparted them all to the hospital where Flora was quickly rushed off to be assessed as the three witches began the long wait for an update.

Newt had heard and instantly went to the President's office.

"Please Madam President. There's a Creature in my case…a Demiguise, well Dougal…" he said stumbling over his words.

"Take a seat Scamander and get your words straight," Seraphina said, "or else I won't be able to understand you." Newt sat down and got his words straight in his head.

"There's a Creature in my case, a Demiguise by the name of Dougal and he has a rather close bond with Flora," he said, "I was wondering if I could be granted permission to allow Dougal, just Dougal, to the hospital to help with Flora. He appears to know more than we do about what is going on with her?"

Silence filled the office and Newt was afraid that he had said the wrong thing.

"Demiguise make good carers don't they?" Seraphina finally asked.

"Yes they do although they are often invisible, although when he is around Flora, Dougal remains visible," Newt said before quickly adding the last part as he wanted Dougal to go and help with Flora's care. He waited for what felt an eternity, wishing for once, that he was Queenie or Flora so he could hear what the President was thinking.

"You say this Demiguise, Dougal, doesn't become invisible around young Miss Goldstein," Seraphina thought aloud.

"That is correct Madam President. The two seem to have some sort of understanding," Newt said before looking down at his feet hoping the President would take him take Dougal to Flora. He had the feeling that it would help Flora to have Dougal there with her.

Back at the hospital and the Mediwizards were assessing Flora while Tina and Queenie watched on and Lucianna was leant against the wall watching.

"When was the last time she had a decent meal?" the chief Mediwizard asked causing Tina and Queenie to look at each other. The truth of the matter was that they hadn't seen Flora eat a decent meal for the best part of a week.

"Probably about a week," Tina finally sighed, "we're all on slightly different schedules so we don't always sit down as a family and eat."

"She is extremely tired and by the looks of things lacking all the nutrients she needs to function properly."

Tina sighed before going and sitting down.

"This is all my fault. I shouldn't have been pushing her away," she said putting her head in her hands, "now she's suffering and he has her right where he wants her and I stood by and let it happen. What kind of sister does that make me?" she asked looking at Queenie.

"One who had to grow up quickly and is adjusting to having two sisters to look over now. Flora will be fine Teenie. She's a Goldstein and we are made of tough stuff," Queenie replied.

Before Tina could answer, however, the door to Flora's room opened and Newt walked in and it looked like he was carrying something but it was invisible. Then all of a sudden Dougal appeared and climbed down off Newt's shoulder and down onto the floor. Everyone watched as he walked over to Flora's bed and then just laid on the bed beside her and just watched her. It was then that everyone realised how close the Demiguise and Flora were.

"The President allowed Dougal out of the apartment then?" Queenie asked as she got up to allow Newt to sit next to Tina.

"Once I managed to get my words straight and explained everything she couldn't see a reason to keep him in the apartment when he could be better used here with Flora," Newt said before turning to Tina, "how is she?" he questioned.

"Underweight and exhausted and I didn't even see it coming or happening," Tina sighed. Clearly she was going to beat herself up about this for a while.

Newt grabbed Tina's hand and held it.

"Nobody could have seen it coming; not with how busy everyone is. Even Queenie has been getting her head down and working hard so the three of you can build a new life for yourselves," he said before awkwardly holding her close and watching as Dougal got up and began to nurse Flora. He couldn't help but smile as he thought how attached his Demiguise was to the youngest Goldstein.

It was right at that moment that Flora groaned out and Tina and Queenie hurried over to Flora and Queenie instantly began to sooth her and softly explained where she was.

"Where's Tina?" Flora managed to say before Tina looked stunned that her youngest sister had asked for her. She just looked at Queenie before Newt placed one of Flora's hands into Tina's and Flora turned and looked up at Tina.

"I'm going to help you get better Flora," Tina said, "try and repair some of the damage I have caused you."

Over the next few days the Picquery sisters, Newt, Queenie and Jacob visited Flora but one person remained by Flora's side. Tina. With the help of Dougal and the Medipeople Tina was beginning to get Flora to the stage where she'd be able to go home soon. Flora, naturally, had been reluctant to be left alone with Tina but slowly it was helping to repair the relationship between the oldest and youngest Goldstein sisters. Tina was also telling Flora about all the things she'd missed out on and Flora was trying to open up to her sister but she still didn't trust her, despite what Queenie was trying to tell her.

"Why would she like me now?" Flora had asked when she and Queenie were alone.

"Because Teenie's beginning to understand you and how much she has hurt you," Queenie replied and Flora nodded but remained silent.

A couple of days later and Flora was up and about; back to a healthy weight and no longer exhausted. She was able to go home and Queenie would be taking over Flora's care so Tina could go back to work. Sadly there was an incident as soon as Flora returned home but Queenie was there as Tina rushed off and hoped that Flora was going to be ok. After all a little relationship repair had been done…finally.
