Fleur tried to get up from the bed, but wavered a little. Liam jumped from his place to support her up. He propped the pillows up for her so that she could sit up on the bed. Ed watched the two of them with narrowed eyes as though trying to gauge what was going on between them. While he was watching them, Howard entered the room. He was surprised to find Liam there and was even more surprised at how much he was doting on Fleur since Howard knew fully well that Fleur must have completely recuperated. He became angry about Liam's presence. Without even greeting Liam, he said, "Fleur, you must go and attend to the queen now. You need to be around her on a twenty-four seven basis."
Fleur wrinkled her nose and replied, "Father, I am still too weak. I don't think I can even walk properly."
Howards looked at her totally shocked, and then looked at Ed who was equally as baffled. "How can that be possible? You are a witch and should have completely healed by now."
