though a [child's] eyes

Cody smiled and nodded, "Yeah...Mom always said my wings were the best things in the world..."He paused, then laughed, "Almost as good as me, she said." He giggled, "Mom really thinks me and Dad are the coolest people she knows."

He smiled slightly, thinking about his Mom and Dad.

"Well you know she is right there. I mean your mom is great and I know that she loves you." Sarah then laughed.

She then stood up. "You are the coolest we might want to get down though."

Cody gave a her a puzzled look, "Why?" He asked, his voice dropping lowly.

"Why do humans deprive themselves of happiness? And when thy slip up and find themselves smiling, why is it they must think thoughts to frown once more?" He shook her head, his eyes angry, "Mom does it. Every human I've known does it...even Dad, who isn't human now does it."

(Ah let me in, let me in!)

Ginny Weasly · March 31, 2008, 11:13:15 AM

((By all means! It isn't a closed RP!))

Shara2007 · March 31, 2008, 11:14:22 AM

"Well I'm not sure. I guess it because when we have happiness we feel so upset because most of the time it comes to the pain of others." Sarah then sat back down.

"I'm not sure Cody to tell you the turth. I guess I do it because once I get that happiness your talking about. " Sarah then looked at her feet. "I would rather get rid of it myself then to let someone else ruin it for me."

Ginny Weasly · March 31, 2008, 11:19:59 AM

"A self deprecating answer, to be sure." Cody said, his face twisting in his anger. Then he closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes again.

And the anger was gone.
Easily, he had detached himself, allowing himself the few seconds it took to be calm again. Now he stood, extending his hand to her.
"I'll take you down, Miss Sarah, if that is what you wish."

Shara2007 · March 31, 2008, 11:22:42 AM

Sarah looked at him then took his hand.

"It not what I wish. It just what has to be done. I mean I have to go back to the shop soon and take care of the animals." Sarah stood back up.

"I mean they need just as much love if not more then humans sometimes. I can't just let them be alone."

ChoChangHP118 · March 31, 2008, 11:24:51 AM

(Thanks. I'll wait till Sarah gets back to the shop before entering Sirius.)

Cody smiled slightly then, "You are like Mom in more ways than you think." He told her, shaking his head slightly. It was often said that Cody's intelligence equaled that of someone twice his age. It would have been more truthful if it were said he was as smart as his parents had taught him to be.
Around stupid people, he was slightly less stupid. Around brilliant people, he shined with slightly more luster.
The boy was smarter than most who crossed paths with him.
And he was only five.

He clasped her hand tightly and simply walked off the edge of the roof, floating them to the ground.
He kept his hand in hers though and now looked at her with childish eagerness, "May I come see the animals?"

Shara2007 · March 31, 2008, 11:39:07 AM

Sarah looked at him and smiled.

"Well I guess. I mean that way at least if your mother comes looking she know you are fine." Sarah then started to walk with this young 5 year old boy with her. Once to her door she unlocks it and opens it. She then turns on the open sign.

"Well okay come on it. The owls are in that back room there." Points to it. "The snakes are there." Points. "Well the cats and rabbits I have are out here as you see."

Sarah then looked as she saw that none of then had tried to get out of the little play cage she had put them in.

Ginny Weasly · March 31, 2008, 11:46:53 AM

Cody dropped her hands and carefully began systematically walking around the room, stopping at each cage. Stopping to speak to each animal, in his own way. No one, not even his mother, understood how he did this. He didn't use telepathy, as everyone else did. He didn't speak, he didn't move at all. Except for his eyes. They danced, rhythmically. And not all the animals responded to him, only a few did. The would look at him, their ears pointed upward as though listening with interest.

He stopped after a few cages and turned to look at Sarah and smile.
"They are so awesome!"

ChoChangHP118 · March 31, 2008, 11:59:16 AM

Sirius, who was dressed in black dress pants, a black shirt, a purple tie, and a normal robe hummed to himself as he apparated outside Sarah's store. He smiled happily as he stepped inside, expecting to see Sarah busy feeding the animals or cleaning up. Instead he found Sarah with someone else...

Ginny Weasly · March 31, 2008, 12:02:16 PM

At Sirius entrance, Cody turned and immediately his features became emotionless. Showing nothing, feeling nothing as he studied Sirius completely. He said nothing to the man, not knowing what to say. He knew Sirius would recognize him as Ginny's child.

And as Xaver's.

Shara2007 · March 31, 2008, 12:03:54 PM

"Ya maybe one of these days you can talk you mom into letting you keep one." Sarah knew that her shop was not just a vet but a place for animals that with out her care would have been killed already. She then took two big bowls of food over to the cats. She smiled as she watched Cody play with them. She then frowned relizing that cody was right about what he said earlier. Now she was thinking about how she wanted kids to play with the animals like him.

"You can hold one if you like." Sarah then walked over and turned on the fauset that would give water do every single one of the cages. She still had not relized that Siruis had come in.
