I`m Awake

Stacey grinned at Ryan, as she was supposed to. When his back turned, she whisperd to Aiden.

"He seems really nice." She breathed, beaming at his uncle as he turned around again. "You have a lovely home." She said a little louder, her eyes sweeping around the room. she liked the fireplace. It made it homey.

[Aiden]

Aiden smiled, his eyes glowing at Stacey.  He took her to one of the couches and sat down.  The fireplace was dimly lit, but it made the room cozy and warm.
"Try living with him."  He teased lightly.  "But thanks.  I hoped you like it.  It's not much, but its home." 

Ryan appeared a few moments later.  He sat down in an armchair next to the couch they sat on.
"So, Aiden tells me you two go to Hogwarts together.  What year are you in?"  He asked, looking at the both of them.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled and sat down beside Aiden.
"I already like it." She mumbled right as Ryan entered.

"Yes, I`m in my seventh year. It`ll be my last, unfortunatly." She said, looking down with a sad expression. It wasn`t hard to be charming. Not really. Besides, she liked what she knew of this man, and hadn`t found anything not to like.

[Aiden]

Aiden took Stacey's hand, squeezing it gently.  He looked at both of them, glad they were seeming to get along so far.

Ryan smiled a teethy grin.  He looked at Stacey, tilting his head the same way Aiden always did.  It wasn't hard to tell they were related, if only uncle and nephew.  He nodded thoughtfully.  He leaned his large arms on the back of the sofa. 
"Seventh year is always the hardest so I hear."  Ryan pointed out.  "What classes are you taking?"
He wasn't part of the wizarding world, but living with someone who was made it easy to know the basics.

Stacey glanced at Aiden with an amused smile.

"Well, Astronomy, Advanced Potions, Arithmacy, Transfiguration... the normal classes." She glanced at Aiden again, her eyes sparkling. She was in all of the most advanced classes the school provided, and she even excelled in them.

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at Stacey and grinned back.

Ryan nodded his head, taking in a deep breath and exhaling with a sigh.
"I honestly don't know what half of those classes teach."  He replied, laughed a low, deep chuckle.  "But whatever they may be, they sound interesting."

Ryan looked up at the clock that hung over the brick fireplace.
"Are y'all hungry?  I can make something to eat.  Or down the street there is a nice restaurant."

Aiden rolled his eyes.  He remembered the slim variety of shops and restaurants the small town had to offer.  The place his uncle was referring to actually was the best place to eat in town, which wasn't saying much.

Stacey smiled at Ryan charmingly.

"That`s very kind of you," She replied. "Whichever you two prefer." She decided. She looked at Aiden, hoping he would get that she wasn`t going to pick. She squeezed Aiden`s hand.

[Aiden]

Ryan shook his head, and lifted his hand up.
"I'm fine.  I was only offering incase you two were hungry."  He replied as the phone in another room suddeny rang.
"Excuse me."  He said, standing up and leaving the room.  He was tall enough he had to duck under the door.

Aiden looked at Stacey, and grinned.  He squeezed her hand gently and sighed with relief.
"Well, I could wait a little while at least.  I want to show youa round the house, though.  If you don't mind."  He said.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled at Ryan as he left the room before turning to Aiden.

"That sounds cool." She grinned. "I mean, you know everything about me and it`s nice to finally know something about you." She winked at him and squeezed his hand softly.

[Aiden]

Aiden rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand softly.
"I'll tell you more.  I've been holding back on you for the past years, and I don't need to.  It doesn't matter if I don't want to talk about it."  He pointed out quietly.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey gave Aiden a serious look.
"I does matter if you don`t want to talk about it. I know what I need to about you. That`s enough for me. Sure I`m curious," She went on before he could argue, "But I love you." She shrugged. "I don`t want to cause you to have to think of something that might be painful." She said just as quiet as he had been.

[Aiden]

Aiden rolled his eyes with a now amused smile.
"You didn't even give me a chance to argue."  He complained half-heartedly.

Aiden suddenly stood up, and held out both of his hands to help his wife up.
"Now, do you want me to show you around or what?"  He said, still smiling.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled and stood up.
"Yes I want you to show me around." She said. "And Id didn`t give you a chance to argue because I knew you would." She teased, her eyes flitting green for a moment.

[Aiden]

Aiden smiled, and kissed her hand with a grin.
"Then lets go."  He replied, walking into the kitchen.

The cabinets were a dark colored wood over a black topped counter.  It was homey, and comfortable.  Nothing too elaborate would be in this house.  He pulled her along to a wooden door at the end of a long hallway.
"This is my room."  He said with a smile.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey looked around the kitchen with a sweeping glance. It was nice. Then they stopped at the door, and she smiled.
"Okay." She said softly, looking from the door to Aiden.
