It had been a few weeks since Harry had woken up. The school year would not be starting till the fall again it had been decided. The final battle had taken place at the end of last term and the school was still going under some renovations and new wards. Most of the teachers were there like Severus had been, why it was not questioned when Severus had kept Harry there but most of the students would not have returned, their families refusing to send them back so soon. The students had been instead sent their homework for the second term and those who should have been taking their OWLS would take them at the ministry. The ministry had changed some rules so that the students could do magic at home, even muggle borns, as long as they were in their own homes and no one but family was around. Usually such restrictions were only lifted during the two months of summer and the winter holidays. For now Draco and Harry would both be educated here.

Harry had been very reluctant even after asking to be taught, to touch his wand and use it. He kept looking at it like it was some new object to him. But after a few days of watching Draco in his lessons he had slowly started to try a few of the charms himself as well. His eyes sparkled with amazement as he watched himself do it and kept looking at Lucius and Draco assuming that they had likely done the magic and not him. Lucius had been a bit worried how Harry's magic would have been affected from months of not using it but he was reminded Harry had been able to do large amounts of accidental magic much older then most kids could. He had the training and the skill but he just needed a chance to remember.

Lucius was surprised when he came into the library and found Harry and his son. Not the fact that they were together as they had been spending so much time together. But the fact of what they were doing with their charms work amazed him. He had really nearly forgotten. The final battle had taken place in the early days of December and Christmas had really gone all but forgotten. Lucius had just been out of the hospital and trying to get Jade back and Draco had celebrated it of sorts with the Zaibinis but it had not been much

Draco looked at his dad. "We thought it would be good practice for transfiguration work and maybe bring some cheer around here."

Lucius smiled. "I am up for some celebrations. I know I sent you a few gifts but I think both of you are good for a bit more spoiling."

He knew Jade had not even remembered or thought of the holiday. He was not sure his precious even knew how long he had been there. His little one had lost so much of his life, six months of it. He had been taken in July not long before his birthday and it was now nearing the end of January. He had been at Malfoy manor for over a month now and he was making some progress.

Jade looked up at him from where he was making a tissue into a little star. "Lucius can Uncle Moony and Uncle Sev come?"

Lucius was surprised but happy that Jade had finally dropped Master. He bent and kissed his head. "Of course, we would not have Christmas without them."

He had thought having other company around might help Harry drop the master part. He was just relived that his precious had not started calling him dad. He had started to look up to Draco like a big brother. Draco was only six weeks older ten him but it seemed like years now. Draco did not seem to mind and had actually taken on his new role with a smile. Severus was always Uncle Sev to Draco and it seemed Jade had picked up on that. Lucius knew Remus and Severus were growing much closer to one another and he had a feeling that the two might marry by proper Christmas time. Severus would propose tomorrow if Remus was ready Lucius thought.

Lucius placed a floo call through to Severus and suggested they come for dinner the next day. He explained that the boys had decided they had missed out on Christmas and it would be nice to have it. Severus smiled and said he would come and invite Remus. It turned out Remus was at Spinner's End. Remus was having a hard time being around the headmaster right now and since he did not have a home of his own he had retreated to Severus' home. Severus was the one to suggest Sirius and though Lucius was still a bit reluctant he agreed. He had told Sirius he could have a role in his godson's life.

He looked at Jade and knelt down next to him. "Your Uncles are coming but I have also invited your Uncle Sirius to come and visit. He loves you a lot."

Jade was trembling and had tears running down his cheeks. "No. He hurt you, he hurt you. I don't want him here. He's bad man master.

Lucius sighed, Jade always retreating into master and even more child like speech when he was upset. Though he refused to let go of his collar or Jade, his speech had definitely improved thanks to Draco, not just the fact he had dropped master. But when he felt threatened or scared he reverted back to it. Lucius kissed him tenderly on the forehead and drew him into his lap assuring Jade that Sirius was a good man. He was Jade's Uncle like Moony and he had been scared for his little cub. He had thought Lucius was hurting Jade and had come to make sure he was safe. He was very sorry for hurting either Lucius or Jade.

Jade looked up at him. "If you say it is safe he can come but I no be alone with him. No. No. Only with master or Uncle Moony."

Sighing Lucius brushed his hair. "Of course my precious, we will not make you be alone with him. But if it goes well he will be coming to visit you more often."

Jade seemed to ignore that and went back to join Draco. Lucius was surprised as he watched the little star that Jade had been making before levitated onto the tree. He saw Draco was staring in confusion at it and neither boy had their wands out. He realized some where in Jade's fear and determination to focus on the tree and not on the scary man coming to visit he had managed to do wandless magic. He was far too old for accidental. He may have mentally reverted back but magic and body wise he was still very much a teenager and he had definitely just proven his magic. Jade seemed to notice their attention when he did a second one and he suddenly lost his concentration and the ornament would have smashed but Draco grabbed for it.

Jade looked back and forth between them trembling. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. I use my wand next time. I sorry."
