Chapter Seven, Acceptance

Sirius smiled as he looked at Harry's happy and excited face as he took in the train Muriel on two of his walls that his grandfather Pollux had made puff along his room leaving little puffs of smoke on the wall in its wake. The top half of the walls were painted a sky blue colour while the bottom was a mix of grass with the track on it and a bridge that went over the sea. On the other side of the room was a mix of painted animals that Cassiopeia had discreetly let them know that Harry had liked and picked out the most. The animal Muriels were of an emerald green dragon, a dark brown wolf, a black dog and a Stag, Fawn and Doe all of a chestnut colour. Sirius had also instilled a night-light in case Harry had a nightmare he wouldn't wake up to pitch black and think he was back in the cupboard he had also set up a Monitoring charm that would wake him if there was something wrong with Harry.

On the far wall was a Childs bookcase that would be easy for Harry to reach if he wanted to get one of his books that were currently on the shelves, though Sirius and Arcturus had separated the reading books from the bedtime books which were currently on the bottom shelves with a label hanging on the bottom shelves so Harry would know they were for bedtime. On the other side of the bookcase was a large cherry wood toy chest that held all of his new toys that were brought for him; in the bottom corner of his room on the left was his wardrobe and chest of drawers that were also cherry wood with all his new clothes and shoes put away ready for Harry to use the room.

In the middle of the room was a medium sized child's bed with a guard on the top half of the bed on either side of the bed so Harry wouldn't fall out of bed during the night. The bed covers were baby blue with a bright red train in the middle of the duvet and the pillows and sitting in the middle of the bed were Harry's newly brought cuddly toys, on the right side of the bed was a red stuffed chair that Sirius himself would use when he read Harry a story and on the walls were shelves just waiting to be filled. "Do you like it Harry?" Sirius asked crouching down in front of his godson as Harry hadn't said anything for a good few minutes. Harry tore his eyes away from his bedroom to nod his head frantically at his godfather tears building in his eyes.

"Yes. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sirius and Mr Pollux and Mr Arcturus. I've never had a bedroom before Sirius thank you." Harry exclaimed hugging Sirius tightly around the neck at a loss of what else to say as he looked around his in his opinion fantastic bedroom. "My toys are here." Harry exclaimed happily as he ran over to his bed reaching for his cuddly toys that he had thought in the recesses of his mind that they had been taken away from him but he was happy to see that Sirius, Sirius's grandfathers and grandmother weren't like the Dursleys. He froze when he got closer to his bed saw what exactly was on his bedspread. "Siri!" Harry shouted making the adults jump and Sirius to rush over to his godson but only to be stopped by Arcturus who pointed at Harry and told him to look at Harry closely.

Looking at his grandfather Sirius was confused as he saw an adoring smile on his grandfather's face and he never smiled, turning away from the man Sirius smiled as he saw what he meant. Harry was bouncing up and down in the spot pointing at his bed spread with wide bright emerald eyes, eyes that Sirius hadn't seen since Harry was only a baby. "Siri look its trains. Trains!" not being able to hold back Sirius rushed to his godson and bundled him up in his arms burying his head in Harry's neck trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. After he had gathered himself together again Sirius smiled as he saw that Harry was snuggling into his chest something that he hadn't done a few days ago.

He knew Harry would never be the same as he was as a baby, too much had happened to him for that to happen but he swore he would help build up his precious boy's confidence up again so he wasn't around people and wasn't so starve for affection. He looked into the eyes of his grandparents and he knew that they were having similar thoughts as him and he would even put up with them if only for Harry's sake if no one else's. "There is no need to call us Mister little one you can just call us Pollux and Arcturus. And you're quite welcome Harry." Pollux smiled at the little boy who was melting the ice and the wall that had been up around his heart and he could tell that little Harry was having the same affect on Cassie and Arcturus.

"Harry how about we show Sirius, Pollux and Arcturus all the new clothes and toys you got and then you can play with any toy you want until lunch is ready and then you have to put them away in the toy box so they don't get broken and after lunch you can play with them again in you wanted to." Cassiopeia suggested to Harry smiling back at him when he grinned at her and nodded his head eagerly as he ran over to his bookshelf.
