Chapter Seven

John looked at the bags of clothes that Sherlock had insisted they get for Harry. Said child was standing next to him, holding a couple as well. He didn't look that happy with all that they had brought. Harry had tried to insist that they use his money, instead of theirs to buy his clothes. Harry had also tried to get them to go to Diagon Alley for a bit so he could get a little money, he would then be able to pay for things himself.

"Okay," Sherlock said as he turned to look at the two of them.

John and Harry shared a look, already Harry was beginning to get that Sherlock was impulsive, "What now Sherlock, I think we have enough?" John said as he looked to the overgrown child, that was stuck in the body of his lover.

"We are going to my tailors, I already had Mycroft call him and to make sure that he had a slot for us. Which he does, then again my brother and I are both loyal customers of his. I am quiet looking forward to showing the two of you the high quality that he makes. They are very nice and very soft. Wonderful to wear," he said as he twirled around and began walking down the street.

"Sherlock!" John called out to him, "We aren't going to your tailors, I already told you that. We can get things we need else where," he tried to insist but the man wasn't listening.

Instead Sherlock turned back and then grabbed Harry's hand, the one that wasn't holding any bags, "Come along Harry, the jumper clad man shall follow," he joked as he glanced towards John and then almost pulled Harry down the street towards where his tailor had set up shop.

"Sherlock!" he yelled again as he then added, "Don't pull Harry like that," he then jogged a little to catch up.

"Then do keep up and don't protest as much, Harry and I will just go and have a little fun without you," Sherlock grinned to him, a playfulness about him that John didn't see often.

"Don't I get a say in this," Harry muttered a little as both men stopped at that and then looked to him.

"Sorry Harry," John said as Sherlock mumbled the same, "What do you want to do?" he asked him.

Sherlock looked to the two of them as he then said, "I want for you to have a nice suit because I want you both to look special when our engagement is announced and as we will be having a party we shall need it," he told them both, looking a little sad.

Harry and John shared a look, and both knew that the other was going to cave in, "Okay, lets go, and I hope that Mummy will keep things small," John said as Harry nodded his head in agreement.

"All right, I will try and keep this short. And we will need to call Mycroft again later on. We need to get things set up so that we can start with Harry's education again," he said as he began to lead the way once more. Holding Harry's hand a little more gently as they walked towards the tailor. Harry couldn't help the warmth that flooded him, as Sherlock held is hand.

Sherlock walked in first and smiled as he saw Andre, "Andre, my friend, we have two new customers for you. I do hope that you're ready for us," he smiled as he kept the door open and John and Harry walked in behind them.

"Ah, wonderful," he grinned as he looked to the two behind Sherlock, "Oh and aren't you a darling," he said as he went over to Harry and smiled down to him, "look at those precious eyes, you shall be a wonderful model, now come child, let us get you measured up." he grinned as he got Harry to undress and into a body suit and started to measure him up.

Harry couldn't help the small smile as he saw that John was looking at it in distaste, "Reminds me of when I went to get everything for school," Harry said as he looked to John.

John thought for a moment and then laughed, "Yeah, you're right on that," he chuckled as he looked to Sherlock, "Don't think we will be doing this all the time Sherlock, one off only." he told him, hoping that he would get the message.

Sherlock just smiled and ignored it, knowing he would get his way in the end, it might just take a little while at first. The door to the back opened and someone walked in. Sherlock turned and almost growled at the sight of his brother walking into the room and sat down beside John. He had a feeling that Sherlock would just knock him onto the floor if he sat beside his bother. Sherlock could be a child at times when it came to his brother.

"Mycroft," John greeted as he looked to the man, "What can we do for you?" he asked.

The man smiled at him as he turned to look at Harry, "I was wondering how he is settling in, especially since you got rid of the cameras a few weeks ago," he asked.

John shook his head, "Well, I don't want to find them in the bedroom again, I don't know about letting you get off on watching and listening in on us," he said quietly.

Mycroft looked scandalised at the thought, "I would never," he told him as Sherlock snorted.

"Harry is doing fine," John interrupted before either of them could say anything more. Harry stepped off the dais and was allowed to change back into his clothes.

"He had a nightmare last night, might need to find someone that has clearance to deal with both sides, I think he might do well in talking to someone," Sherlock said, thought he didn't like the taste the words left in his mouth at asking his brother for help.

Mycroft nodded his head, "I shall see what I can do. Is he all right with what his nightmare was about?" he then asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

"I think he will be eventually, but I think it would be best if he talked to someone," John was the one to answer him.

"I will do so," Mycroft nodded in agreement.

"Oh, and Mycroft," John said as Harry began to walk back to wards them, "We want to try and get him set up for his normal education as well. I don't want him to fall behind on anything. He is already a year behind," he told him as he got up and followed Andre into the back to do the same as Harry. He felt a little weird about doing it this way, as he was used to the magical measurements of Madam Malkin. Though it had been a very long time since he had to be measured for robes.

Harry sat between the two brothers as he watched. Sherlock and Mycroft looked down to him for a moment before they continued their own conversation. John walked out and then stood as he was measured to within an inch of his life.

"So, you want me to find someone that can fill in his education while he is with us during the summer," he said as Harry looked up to him, and he smiled back to him.

"Yes," Sherlock nodded as he looked down to Harry.

Harry decided that he had their permission to talk a little, "I do want to continue it, I think it would be a good idea. I don't mind doing the both as it would help me in the long run I think" he said as he looked between the two brothers.

Mycroft nodded, "Then I will do what I can to make sure that you have that chance. Do as John did and do the both," he nodded smiling at him and then looking to John, "He is much smarter than he appears if he did two sets of education and to continue on to become a doctor."

Sherlock nodded, "He lets people underestimate him, more fool them," he grinned a little, even though he had been in the dark as much as Mycroft had been, "I think we may have to talk with Mrs Hudson about Harry and John's little gift," he said as he looked to his brother.

He nodded his head, "I will make sure she has the clearance for it. Look out for my text."

"Thank you," John called out as he had been listening to their conversation.

"Right, I shall take my leave, I only have a small window for lunch, a meeting once again," he said as he stood up and placed a hand on Harry's head and said, "I shall see you soon Harry," he smiled and then said his goodbyes to Sherlock and John.

"Bye," Harry said as he gave a little wave and the man walked out and the door closed behind him.

John was soon finished and went to get dressed as Sherlock talked about a few things with Andre. They walked out of the tailors and Sherlock hailed them all a taxi to take them back to Baker Street. Mrs Hudson was making a welcoming dinner to welcome Harry into their mad little family. All three adults hoped it wouldn't take long for Harry to settle in with them.
