Violet's pov

A week later

    I buttoned up my dark green pantsuit and fixed my necklace. I looked up into the mirror, in the mirror I could see Reg and I's bed, and he's not in there like he normally is watching me get ready. I wiped a stray tear before putting on a fake smile and walking down stairs. "Morning Kreacher!" I cheered as I walked into the kitchen. "Morning Violet, are you visiting Master Regulus all day or for half the day?" He questioned plating pancakes for me. "Not sure, depends on the week's results from the doctor." I responded. He nodded and made more pancakes for the rest of the house.

Sirius and Remus walked in, they nodded to each other before greeting me with a kiss on the cheek. "Vi, we wanted to talk with you." Sirius started the conversation, I nodded and continued to eat my pancakes. "Vi, how long are you willing to wait for him to wake up?" Remus asked looking down. I dropped my fork, "It hasn't even been a full week. Tonight will be a full week and you are asking me when I'm giving up on him?" I questioned in disbelief. "Vi, that's not wh-" Sirius tried to defend Remus. "He's your brother Sirius. And you are ready to give up." I sneered.

I stood up and handed Kreacher my plate before walking up to the kids' rooms. I walked into Harry's, he was at his desk writing. I kissed his cheek, "I'm going to see Reg. I'll be back by dinner." I muttered hugging him tight. He nodded and waved as I walked to Draco's room. He was reading on a small chair, I kissed his forehead and hugged him. "I'm going to visit Reg, I'll be back." I explained he nodded and went back to reading. I walked into Grace's room, she was trying to button her coat up. "Mom, I'm coming. I want to see dad." She stated, walking towards me. "Love they are giving me an update, I don't want you to hear it from the Healers." I tried to reason with her.

"Please mom." She begged, I nodded and grabbed her hand. I peaked my head into the kitchen, "I'm taking Grace." I announced before immediately leaving. We used the Floo to St. Mungos, I walked up to the receptionist. "Violet Black and Grace Black here for Regulus Black." I stated in a monotone voice. She nodded and we walked to the room. "Mom, Fredddie says they have an extra ticket for the Quidditch World Cup and asked if I could go. So can I?" She asked, I smiled. "Yes, love. You can go." I smiled and she smiled up at me before we reached his door.

I opened the door and a Healer was taking his vitals down. "Hello Mrs.Black, Miss Black." The healer greeted, I nodded and Grace climbed into the bed. She cuddled into his chest, talking to him about her past few days. I sat on the chair next to his bed, "The doctor will be in shortly." The healer announced before exiting. I grabbed his hand and rubbed my thumb over his knuckles. I leaned over and kissed his cheek, "Please wake up." I whispered before slumping back into the chair. "Your father is a git, Grace." I pouted slightly, she laughed and kissed his head.

"Ahem, Mrs. Black, oh and Miss Black." The doctor greeted, I sat up and grabbed Reg's hand out of instinct. "Right well, the news is okay. Not great news, but not terrible news." He started, I let out a breath. "He is not changing. He isn't progressing but he also isn't decreasing." He explained, I fell back in my seat. "You said he should have progressed by a week!" I shouted slightly. "Yes, Mrs. Black. He should have, but he isn't; we just aren't sure what is the problem." He admitted, I groaned and rubbed my temples. "May I see the research and books you are using to cure him?" I asked, growing irritated. He nodded and left to get them, "Mom, what if dad doesn't improve?" Grace asked with tears in her eyes.

"Have some faith in your father. He will manage." I teased lightly, she smiled and played with his hair. The doctor brought me the books and research papers he left after. I read through them, marking specific things down. I wrote a note asking Sirius and Remus to bring the boys over. I sent it to him and waited for the four boys to arrive. "Hi, Vi!" Draco greeted me. I smiled and continued to write notes. "Violet, why are you playing doctor?" Sirius teased, reaching for a book. I smacked his hand and continued on the paper. Remus went to grab my paper and I smacked his hand. "Grace, what's wrong with her?" Remus asked, rubbing his hand. Grace shrugged, I looked up and Sirius and Remus jumped back away from me.
