The MRHG is a greedy hoe. But she's still in the will.
Running his wand up the bear's back caused the seam to reseal itself. He also conjured some extra stuffing into it and banished the germs that were living on the filthy toy. He looked up from his work and expected to see a pleased Harry sitting in front of him. Instead the boy looked absolutely petrified. Sirius nodded to himself, "I bet you love Davy, don't you?" he asked the boy.
Harry worried his lip. In the past when he'd admitted to liking things they got taken away from him later as punishment. But Sirius had asked him a direct question so he just nodded.
"I bet he loves you too," said Sirius tapping the bear on the nose with his wand.
The bear turned his head to look at Sirius and then as Davy realized whose lap he was sitting on he stood up on his little bear legs and scampered back to Harry. Once he had climbed into Harry's lap he cuddled into the boy and leaned up to kiss Harry on the cheek. The little boy looked positively thrilled as the bear stroked his face. He sipped at his milk absentmindedly. Sirius looked up to his lover who was still standing next to the bed. James wasn't smiling. He looked so angry as he breathed slowly, still unwilling to allowing himself to cry in front of his son. Feeling James' anger through the bond made Sirius feel dizzy and as it combined with his own anger his head started to ache.
James climbed slowly into bed and the little boy moved over to him like a heat drawn missile. Sirius extinguished the candles with his wand and Harry didn't complain. But James felt his son tense and asked softly, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
"I's fine. My Auntie Petunia saids tha' light costs money," Harry said but his voice was trembling.
Without a word Sirius relit the three candles in the far corner of the room. "Better?"
"Much, fank you."
