Author's Note:   This is for celandineb for her birthday.   The request was for H/D, and the prompt was "teddy bear".  It also fits in with prompt 008 - "birth" for my 100quills table.

 

"Cmon, Draco ... pleeeease?" whined Harry. He had to buy a gift for Ron and Hermione's new baby boy, and he was dreading the experience.

"Why must I go with you? The gift is for your friends. Surely you know more about them that I do."

"But you're the one who loves to shop. You know I hate it. I'd rather have root canal done."

"What?"

"Never mind." Explaining root canal to his pure-blood wizard boyfriend wasn't going to get him anywhere.

"Look, I love to shop for me, Harry. Well, and sometimes for you or my mother. But not for other people, and certainly not for babies!"

"But I'll have so much more fun if you're with me," Harry pleaded, snuggling up to his boyfriend. "And when we're done, we can buy something for you too."

"Well, I suppose I could make the sacrifice, when you put it that way."

So that was how it came to be that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy were looking at a wall full of stuffed animals in the local muggle shopping centre. "You never said anything about Muggle London. I was expecting a trip to Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade," complained Draco.

"Well, you know that Hermione is muggle-born, so I thought it would be nice to get the baby a teddy bear. Kids love teddy bears."

"I'm sure Father would never have allowed something so ... so ... fluffy in the Manor. Are you sure kids like these things?"

"Well, yeah. Er ... I think they do. I don't really know, since I don't remember ever having one. But, yeah, I'm sure it's something that people often give as gifts when babies are born."

Draco didn't look convinced, but pointed to a dragon halfway up the shelf. "How about that?" he asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Don't you think that might scare a baby?" Harry asked.

"Perhaps you're right. How about this one?" he said, as he handed Harry a huge, traditional-looking brown bear. "It's incredibly soft, and doesn't have any of those little button eyes that the baby might choke on."

Harry was impressed with how much thought Draco was putting into this, but thought it best to keep his mouth shut, and just smile at him. "I think it's perfect! See? You really were a lot of help!"

"Excellent," said Draco. "Now let's shop for me!" Harry groaned a reply, but a promise was a promise.

After they returned home, Harry leaned over to give Draco a kiss. "What was that for?" the blonde asked.

"That was for humouring me today, and for being such a big help. AND for not complaining about it ... much." He smiled at his boyfriend, and called out, "accio gift." He caught the flying object, and handed it to Draco. "Here's a little something to show my appreciation."

Draco opened the package, and Harry saw tears well up in his usually well-composed boyfriend's eyes. "Oh, Harry, it's wonderful!"

Harry beamed as he watched Draco hug the dragon they saw in the store earlier. "I thought you might like it. Besides, fluffy things are always welcome here."

"I thought you might like it. Besides, fluffy things are always welcome here." *gives Harry a hug for being so adorable*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. He wanted Draco to have something he was deprived of as Lucius' son.

[celandineb.livejournal.com]

And to say it again here -- thank you so much! *g*

You're welcome. ♥ Happy B-Day!

Everyone say it with me: awwwwww....

*melts into puddle at fluff*

That was so incredibly sweet, I'm still grinning like a lunatic. :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[domsgurll.livejournal.com]

ouch.... I have a cavity now. That was very sweet and fluffy. Loved it. I don't usually read h/d stories. I'm a best mates shipper. *runs and hides in closet* But it was a story worth making the exception for.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

But it was a story worth making the exception for. *gushes* - Thanks for that.

And yes, I think I have to make a dental appointment for next week!

I'm a best mates shipper. - Sorry about that. Consider the H/D ship as your therapy! :o)

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

So cute and sweet and fluffy.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Uber-fluffy ... really, with a prompt like "teddy bear" I had no choice. *smiles*

Thanks.

[dracolein.livejournal.com]

Sweet, really Sweet. And a happy end^^ ( better than let our lovely Draco die!)
Harry is really sweet and Draco like ever but I didn't thought Draco knew what babies like and what not. ( is there something we don't know?)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I imagined that he had actually LISTENED to Hermione when she went on one of her (no doubt lengthy) discussions about baby care during her pregnancy ... and he remembered this when it mattered most. Which is the reason Harry thought it best NOT to mention it to Draco - no point acknowledging that he actually listens to Hermione. :o)

[dracolein.livejournal.com]

Wow, I wasn;t sure if someone really listen to Hermione. Draco listened? Ah I remember Draco is the only one who is really clever and can talk with hermione ( with out one of her one-way discussions)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I think Draco listens to a lot. He just doesn't let on that he does. It's part of his Slytherin charm (take everything in, remember everything, in case you can use it to your advantage later). *nods*

[dracolein.livejournal.com]

Yeah! To your andvantage or to the disadvantage of others^^ Typically Slytherin/ Draco^^It#s really sweet.... * imagin Draco with a Dragon and Harry on a bed kissing ( dragon in teh middle)* sweeeeet...

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[jynnxx.livejournal.com]

Aww aww aww, adorable. Can I say that I love this line in particular;
"Look, I love to shop for me, Harry. Well, and sometimes for you or my mother. But not for other people, and certainly not for babies!"
Brilliant!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

First, let me say I love your icon! *giggles*

I like that line myself, as it is soooo Draco. Thanks ♥

[dracolein.livejournal.com]

Yeah, typically Draco only thinking about himself ( or Harry)*gg*

[smudgeworthy.livejournal.com]

"Besides, fluffy things are always welcome here."
Tee-hee. LOVED that line. Fluff...
And Awwww to Harry getting Draco the dragon. That was just so adorable! :)
Anyway,
That was a great little fic! The perfect thing to read before I go to bed
:)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed my fluff! I don't usually write fluffy fluff, but the "teddy bear" prompt called for it! :o)

[hpdmslashlp.livejournal.com]

oh wow.. that's more than enough fluff to make a build-a-bear explode... loves it. <3 :warm gooey feeling:

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*groan* I know - note the warning *points up* for "extreme fluff" - I couldn't think of anything that wasn't fluffy fluff for that prompt ... well, I could, but since it was a birthday request, I thought perhaps a possessed and sociopathic killer bunny was out. Heh.

Glad you liked ♥
