Flitwick was still babbling, but Lucius was already looking at Severus with a smug look on his face.

Well, Severus admitted now that Lucius had a good reason for "celebrating". ——However, having a reason does not mean having money!

As a doctor, Severus was actually curious about Harry's current situation; as Harry's elder, Severus felt that he should visit Harry when he woke up; as a man without money, Severus wanted...to find a reason to divert Lucius' attention force.

"Lucius, let's go see Harry when he wakes up, shall we?" Severus raised his head and said to his husband with a smile.

Lucius nodded hurriedly.

Dr. Flitwick interjected inappropriately: "Oh, Severus, I'm afraid you have to make an appointment for next week's visit if you want to go in now. Because there are too many people who want to go in under various banners, the attending doctor here, Irma Pince, has banned it." Unrelated personnel entered."

Severus smiled helplessly at Dr. Flitwick, thinking about how he could divert Lucius' attention.

At this moment, Severus suddenly saw Draco and his girlfriend Hermione emerge from a ward across the corridor.

Hermione's eyes were slightly red.When she saw Severus and Lucius, her instinct was to run away.However, out of basic courtesy, she followed Draco up to the two of them and greeted them awkwardly: "Uncle Severus, Uncle Lucius, good afternoon."

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Hermione, Severus still acted as if he didn't know that Draco had quarreled with her, and said with a smile, "Hermione, good afternoon. Did you see Harry just now?"

The brown-haired girl seemed to be relieved by the harmless topic, and replied: "Yes, I heard from my friend who is a trainee here that Harry woke up and called Draco to come with him. Harry looked Sober, but very weak. He was happy to see Draco and me, and he mentioned Ron. I think he probably remembers everything."

Draco nodded aside and said, "Yes. Dad, he even asked me to take it for you. Then we were kicked out by Dr. Pince without saying a few words. Now Aunt Lily and Uncle James are taking care of Harry inside."

After several people talked about Harry, Hermione didn't know what to say.She avoided Severus' eyes and said, "Uncle Severus, I have something to do, I'm going back to school first."

Severus nodded, and continued to play dumb as he watched Hermione leave.

Draco looked at Hermione's back complicatedly.But for Lucius' sake, Draco didn't say anything.

On the way home, the family of three first went to the pet supply store to buy things needed to raise Fawkes.After being identified by the manager of the pet supply store, Fawkes was probably a wild turkey. (When the identification results came out, Fawkes gave the manager a hard peck.) The manager further suggested that flying wild turkeys should have their wings clipped regularly to prevent them from flying away.

As soon as the words came out, Lucius yelled before Fawkes.The platinum-blonde man carefully guarded the golden-red bird, and stumbled towards the outside of the store as fast as his body allowed. Draco hurried after Lucius who was trembling with fright, and promised not to cut Fawkes' wings casually. Lucius looked suspiciously at Severus who was chasing after him out of breath, and walked to the car with Fawkes in his arms full of wariness.

Severus moved himself into the backseat of the car without buying a birdcage or something at the pet supply store.He held the wary Lucius in his arms, and repeatedly stated that he had no intention of harming his hatchling at all. Lucius looked at Severus aggrievedly, and dubiously allowed Severus to touch Fawkes.

Fawkes pecked Severus lightly a few times before burying his head in Lucius' hand again.

Seeing that Fawkes had forgiven Severus, Lucius looked better.

After entering the organic food supermarket, Lucius and Fawkes, who was smuggled in by him, scoffed at the so-called scientifically proportioned bird food, and the two of them went straight to the seafood counter. Severus reluctantly followed Lucius, buying a large bag of fresh cuttlefish to satisfy the two animals.

After returning home, while Draco was cooking, Severus diced the strawberries according to the information he found on the Internet, and prepared to feed Fawkes.Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around and came back, he found that the bag of cuttlefish just now had been opened, and the cuttlefish in the bag was missing as much as half a pound.

Lucius looked at Severus innocently, pointing at Fawkes' bulging belly.

Severus glanced at the little turkey, which was not as big as a sparrow, and ordered Lucius, "Squat down and open your mouth."

Lucius squatted down in front of Severus in confusion and unwillingness, and slowly opened his mouth.

Sure enough, the black-haired doctor saw the uneaten cuttlefish dregs in her husband's mouth.

"Lucius, no one tells you to eat. But, you have to cook something before you eat it, right?" Severus taught Lucius, who always tried to eat raw meat, for the one hundred and zeroth time.

The platinum blond man pursed his lips with a "you're talking nonsense" expression.

"Honey, I admit, I have the behavior of controlling your diet. But, I am for your own good. Lucius, you can't digest a four-pound duck in one meal. I don't eat leftovers from last week. Is it all left for you to eat? You don't want to get fat, do you?" Severus felt that he would never have the patience he has for Draco back then.

Lucius looked at Severus dissatisfied, and poked his husband's belly with his finger.

Severus looked helplessly at his protruding beer belly, knowing that he had to explain to Lucius again that the accumulation of fat in his abdomen was the result of lack of exercise in his abdomen after being paraplegic, and it was definitely not the result of stealing good things from Lucius behind his back. ——But, Lucius probably had a hard time believing it, right?

Sure enough, after Severus' medical lecture, Lucius continued to stuff the cuttlefish into his mouth with an expression of "I see through you".

Severus wanted to just yank the cuttlefish out of Lucius' mouth, but he preferred to reason first.Before he could say much about "eating raw is unhealthy", Lucius opened his mouth and put the chewed cuttlefish on his lips.

Just as Severus was about to reach out to pick the meat out, Lucius held Fawkes to his lips.The golden-red bird ate happily.

The black-haired doctor looked at the scene of feeding the chicks and felt completely defeated: Did Lucius really think of himself as an animal?

It didn't take long for Fawkes to eat all the food in Lucius' mouth.

Severus looked at Fawks' stomach that didn't protrude much, and suddenly believed what Lucius meant by "Fawkes eats cuttlefish".

The black-haired man stroked Lucius's long hair helplessly and said, "Honey, we have a meat grinder. I can grind the meat for Fawkes to eat."

Lucius tilted his head, and suddenly came out a sentence that Severus had taught him many times: "Saliva helps digestion."

Dr. Snape was beginning to regret why he had used those words to convince Lucius to eat slowly.

After Severus was defeated several times by Lucius' tough logic, Fawkes finally had his fill. Lucius held the golden-red bird in front of Severus, and said flatteringly, "Phoenix, tears, Severus is getting better."

Fawkes tilted his head and looked at Severus a few times before jumping on Severus's hand with some reluctance, tilting his head and weeping crystal clear tears.

Severus looked at the weeping Fawkes in surprise, not knowing what had happened.Only Lucius was repeating "Severus stand up" upside down.

After a while, Fawkes jumped back into Lucius' hand.

Lucius put Fawkes on the coffee table and came to the back of Severus. He said "Severus stand up" and hugged Severus from behind.

Severus quickly grabbed Lucius' arms, anxiously explaining to his husband that he couldn't stand or walk, hoping he would put him back in the wheelchair.

Lucius had no intention of listening at all.He dragged and dragged her husband away from the wheelchair, and then let go.

Severus was afraid that he would grab Lucius' arm so tightly that he would bring him down when he fell, so he let go of Lucius' arm and let himself fall to the ground.

Draco, who was cooking, heard the commotion in the living room, and hurried over to take a look, only to find the stepfather who fell down and the father who stood aside in confusion.He carried Severus to the sofa and settled him before asking what happened.

Before Severus could speak, Lucius murmured, "Your father should be able to stand up, Phoenix Tears, to heal all wounds and poisons. —why can't he stand up?"

Severus looked at Lucius with red eyes helplessly, knowing that his husband had no intention of hurting him.However, his illness has made it difficult for him to distinguish between fantasy, myth and reality. Severus guessed that Lucius must have mistook the turkey for a phoenix, and the turkey's tears for the legendary phoenix's tears, which can cure all diseases, to do such a thing.

Severus admitted to himself once again: leaving Lucius and himself alone at home is really a very dangerous thing for Lucius and himself.If you want to take Lucius home, there must be a trustworthy healthy person in the family. —Maybe, making peace with Abraxas wasn't that hard?

Severus told Draco to go back to cooking and brought Lucius to his side. Severus allowed himself a rare enjoyment of Lucius as a human cushion before he began to tell the truth that "the panacea does not exist" again. ——God, Severus didn't want, where did Lucius get some beetle shell or something like that, it must be said that it was a potion material, and it was going to be crushed and applied to Severus.

After Severus' mouth was dry, Draco brought the food to the table.

As Severus moved himself from the couch to the wheelchair, he suddenly noticed that his shoulder seemed to be less painful.

**********************************

One year later

Abraxas stood at the window of his study, watching Lucius play with Fawkes' big turkey in the courtyard, and reached for a box he had hidden behind the curtains.

When he heard the footsteps at the door of the study and the subsequent knock on the door, Abraxas withdrew his hand like lightning, and solemnly said: "Come in."

Blinky, the old housekeeper who has served the Britten family all his life, came in and brought Abraxas afternoon tea.

Abraxas invited Blinky to share this wonderful afternoon with himself as usual.

After resigning, the short butler sat down next to Abraxas and reported to the master what Master Lucius had done in the past 24 hours.In the concluding statement, Blinky complained to the master again that Dr. Severus Snape entered the kitchen again yesterday to compete with the cook for the kitchen, which is really not a classy person.

Blinky rebuked with justification: "Doctor Snape's hand has just touched the small ring of the wheelchair and then touched the food, how dirty it must be!"

Abraxas nodded yes.

In a shared disdain for Severus' taste, Abraxas and Blinky talked to hygiene in a harmonious atmosphere.

After Blinky left the study, Abraxas quietly took out the food box he had hidden behind the curtain, and took out a small dessert made by Severus from it.After thinking about it, he took out another piece. The 80-year-old figured that, considering he was worrying about Draco's life, he could indulge his cravings for scumbag a bit.

Abraxas threw the third piece of dessert into his mouth and thought angrily: I just said that the values ​​of the middle class are the most unreliable!That Granger still refuses to live with our family, as if anyone believed her "I went to medical school in Boston so you can take care of the family"!

— Well, the two little Greengrass girls seem fine, I should find a chance to introduce them to Draco.

——Also, that Harry Potter who has been chasing after Draco's ass must find a way to get rid of it, and it would be bad if he made Draco's sexual orientation bad.Alas, I still don't have enough influence, if only I could guarantee that no college on the entire east coast would give an admission letter to that kid who has been in a coma for four years!

Abraxas was planning how to induce Potter to apply for Oxford and Cambridge in England, when he suddenly found that he had already eaten all the desserts he had secretly hidden.He blamed everything on Potter again: that little bastard, what does it mean that Lucius' situation will be greatly improved in twelve or three years time[1]? !That's obviously just for hanging people for fun!

— as if anyone cared about his "I'll take care of Uncle Lucius and Uncle Severus" promise!

— One so-called homosexual with family values ​​like Severus is enough!

The author has something to say: Oh, why do I feel that I wrote HE?Or should this be more or less an open ending?

[1] Counting twelve or three years from this point forward, Septimius and Luciana in the world of HP#2 should have graduated from Hogwarts.So, Severus there could probably guide Lucius' soul into the world of Awake.
