Jade had a rough night going to sleep and Lucius really knew he could have expected no less. It was a combination of the fear over Sirius coming to visit him but also the wandless magic he had been doing. Both Draco and Lucius had tried to assure him that he was not bad for what he had done and they had just been surprised. Draco tried to explain that neither he nor his dad could do magic without their wand but Uncle Sev was able to as well as one of their other teachers at school, Filius. But Jade had refused to even touch his wand after that and had retreated into his window seat with his book. They had convinced him after dinner to join in decorating again but the manual way and the few times that Jade had spoken to him he had called him Master.
In the morning as he woke up he felt little one curled against him. It had been all he could do to keep little one from offering his body every time they were in bed, Jade having grown so accustomed to being used. It had taken weeks of Jade crying himself to sleep to make some progress but Jade still refused any bed but his and remained as close as possible to him. But Jade was curled like a little kitty in against him and he smiled at the lovely image.
Little one began stirring and he ran a hand through Jade's curls and kissed his head. Jade's green eyes began opening and there was the little bit of the sparkle back in them though he knew his precious was still scared about Sirius coming.
He gently ran a hand down his precious. "You remember my little love that I would never let anyone hurt you, or your Uncles would not either. Sirius is a good man."
Jade snuggled his head into him so he was muffled. "I don't want to be alone with him. He tried to hurt you, he hurt me."
Rubbing circles in his precious' back he reminded him what he had said the day before, Sirius loved Jade like a son nearly and he had been so scared Jade was being hurt by Lucius. He was confused for Lucius would never hurt his precious Jade but the man had believed he was trying to protect Jade. Lucius would have done the same thing if he thought either Jade or Draco had been taken and he thought they were being hurt by someone. Sirius made a very foolish mistake but out of love.
Jade reluctantly came for a bath with him and breakfast but he was quite quiet and withdrawn through the morning and again retreated to the window seat to read. Draco saw his dad was struggling with guilt over the fear in Jade but he convinced his dad Jade would be better when Moony arrived which was soon to be proved.
Remus appeared with Severus and as Severus put their gifts under the tree he went to Jade. "Hey cub, Merry Christmas. I think you and Draco had a very good idea."
Jade looked up at him with shimmering green eyes, "I am so happy you come Uncle Moony. I miss you. And Uncle Sev too."
From where he was standing with Lucius Severus shared a smile with Remus. It was definitely a bit odd being called Uncle by Harry but he reminded himself how close Harry or Jade really had become to Draco and his godson had called him Uncle since he could talk. Besides he hoped one day he and Remus would be married and Harry really was as much a nephew to Remus as Draco was to Severus.
Lucius smiled when Jade showed the new comers the charms work he had been doing with Draco and when he was assured it was okay he showed them the wandless magic he had been doing as well. He saw the amazement in their faces.
He looked at Severus. "Lucius says you can do it, that it is not bad of Jade.
Severus smiled and levitated an ornament off of the tree and back on. "I can. Very few people have a special gift as ours; many people need to study for many years."
Jade was lost showing Severus working on the charm that he did not even notice when Sirius arrived but Remus did. He had not seen Sirius since the accident but they had written a few times. Sirius knew Remus had not officially started dating Severus yet but he knew the time was coming soon. Remus decided to let Jade have some more peace and went to greet Sirius for now. He was surprised when Sirius handed him a gift.
Sirius kissed him lightly. "I know you need time and I understand that but I hope you will accept this. I know you have been away from school a lot."
Remus opened the box and found a wizard version of a key which was actually a portkey and a keychain made from his ring. "Sirius I......"
Sirius cut him off with a tender kiss and told him the ring had always been meant for Remus even if not as his husband and just as his friend. He was not trying to get Remus to not be with Severus. The key was to the cottage Remus had once lived in when James was still alive. James and Sirius had convinced Remus to take some money since school enough to cover living in the cottage, calling it pay for the work he did for the ministry but Remus was cut off by James' death. Sirius had left all his money to Harry but he left a vault and Grimmauld for Remus to use but Remus had felt such guilt over not being able to free Sirius that he had not touched it. Sirius made arrangements months before, fearing if he died that Remus would not feel right and would not touch the money and would have to consider selling his cottage. Remus' parents rented as medical bills had forced them to sell their home and Sirius had not wanted Remus to lose another home. He assured Remus it was not to keep Remus from Severus' apartments or Spinner's End but to give him something back, and the vault that should have been Remus' was signed over, in repayment of the money that Moony spent for him. Remus was reminded he could not return a gift.
He smiled and lightly kissed Sirius. "Thank you Padfoot, the home means a lot to me. I hated giving it up and moving into that flat. Thank you."
Sirius brushed his face. "You gave it up for me and I wanted to give you it back. You were my friend first and I want to get back there. I thought this was a start."
They moved towards the tree where Jade finally caught sight of him and Jade looked at him like a spooked horse and he remained close to Lucius but he did not whimper or cry when Sirius came close enough to hand him a gift. Harry tentatively opened it and found some riding clothes.
Sirius smiled. "Lucius told me you decided to learn how to ride a horse and I thought that you could use these."
Jade smiled and nodded a bit. "Lucius gave me a pretty white horse named Ceres and I get to ride her. You want to see her?"
Smiling and assuring Jade h would like that Sirius was relieved Jade was not totally scared of him. Jade remained at Lucius or Remus' side at all times and drew back when ever Sirius was too close to him but they got Jade opening some gifts with Draco and Jade showed Sirius the horse before dinner. Sirius saw as the others had, the innocence to his cub and he could see the way Lucius was with him he had not been lying, he truly cared about Harry. He was surprised when he was about to leave when Jade stopped and asked him if he would come for a visit again.
Sirius shared a smile with the others and then nodded. "If you would let me come for another visit I will be here. I would like it a lot cub."
Jade smiled a bit bigger and tentatively came over to him but allowed no contact. "I want it too Uncle Padfoot."
As he left Sirius went over to Severus and it seemed even on a fake Christmas the mood seemed to work miracles on them. He shook the man's hand and assured him he was not going to be hexing Severus unless the man was foolish enough to break Remus' heart.
