Jim and Anne smiled happily and looked relieved.
"Did you call the doctor?" Anne asked, remembering the doctor's instructions.
Sirius smiled at his grandmother
reassuringly.
"Yes, I did, don't worry."
Anne and Jim
nodded, satisfied.
"Was he awake after the doctor left?" Jim
asked curiously.
Sirius grinned again, remembering Harry's
questions about pranks.
"Yes, he just went back to sleep."
Jim
nodded.
"Good, then."
Anne clapped her hands together
briskly.
"Right. Anyway, we saw that he had no toys or books
around- so we got him some."
Sirius felt touched.
"You
didn't have to-"
But his grandparents wouldn't have any
of it.
"I know, but we wanted to anyway." Anne said
firmly.
Jim grinned.
"True."
Sirius felt
grateful, but at the same time uncomfortable because his grandparents
had already done so much for him.
"I will pay you back."
Sirius offered immediately.
But Anne and Jim shook their
heads, smiling.
"No, Sirius," Jim said, "Consider this a
gift for Harry."
As if on cue, the slight form that was
Harry Potter, who was still lying on the bed, moaned softly and
stirred. He turned over in his sleep but did not wake up.
"We
should keep our voices down!" Sirius whispered.
His
grandparents looked at Harry with concern in their eyes.
"Of
course, let's continue this discussion downstairs." Jim said
softly.
Sirius nodded and ran his hand through his godson's
soft, raven black hair one last time.
"Alright." He agreed and
got up from the edge of Harry's bed.
The adults left the room and went downstairs to the living room. Sirius filled his grandparents in on everything the doctor had told him about Harry's condition. Then they all ate dinner and went to bed for the night.
The next day
After Anne had gotten up, she went downstairs to the kitchen and started to prepare breakfast.
Ten minutes later, Jim came into the kitchen and gave her a quick peck on the cheek as well as a cheerful "Good Morning!".
Another ten minutes later Sirius joined them in the kitchen and the three of them sat down at the table. They had a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon, after that Anne loaded a tray with food for Harry and all three of them went up to Harry's room.
Harry was already awake and smiled brightly at Sirius, though the expression dimmed a little when he saw Anne and Jim. For some reason, Harry seemed to shrink back into his pillows.
Sirius gave Harry a warm hug and said, "Good morning, kiddo! Here, I have brought you some breakfast." He handed Harry the tray with food on it. Harry took it, hesitantly.
"Thank you!" he said, almost timidly. With another shy glance at Sirius' grandparents Harry picked up his fork and began to eat.
