The Simple Things in Life

[potter_fan122]

Stacey bounced into the living room; she was very happy. She was at her dad`s for the weekend. She always had a great time at her dad`s. She floated into the kitchen and took a deep breath. Her dad was standing at the counter, making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

"Hey, there," He greeted her with a large smile.

"Hi, Daddy." She replied. Her eyes were the brightest blue they had been in a long time. She stood at her fater`s side and gave him a hug. "I missed you."

James smiled. ((Not James like, James Potter, different family.)) He put down the butter-knife he held and hugged his daughter. "I missed you too."

You see, Stacey was a lot closer to her father than she was to her mother. Her mom was a Muggle and didn`t approve of magic. Her parents were still together, but they couldn`t stand each other for very long without getting in a fight, so her mom stayed at a summer house most of the time. this was one of those times, so Stacey could talk about maguc without getting in trouble.

Stacey smiled even biger and took one of the finished sandwiches. After taking a huge bite and chewing it, she spoke. "Hey, Daddy, you know about Aiden?"

James pursed his lips. "Is he the vampire?" He asked.

"No, that`s Nate." She corrected quietly.

James tousled Stacey`s hair. "You`re growing up to fast." He complained.

Stacey smiled. "I know, Daddy. But anyway, um, oh, nevermind." She said, stuffing her mouth with more sandwich.

James pondered on what she had almost said. His daughter`s mind wasn`t easy to read, she could block it well, now. He wondered what she was going to say. He took his own sandwich and sat in one of the kitchen chairs; Stacey sat across from him.

"You know, you really should water your flowers." Stacey scolded after she finished eating. She picked up a vase with flowers in it. The flowers were slightly wilted. Stacey filled the vase with cool water and placed back in the center of the table, rearranging the flowers so they looked a little better.

James shook his head. "You worry about the little things too much."

Stacey only smiled. "It`s the little things that make the big things."

"Well, I`m not sure how flowers on a kitchen table change much."

Stacey rolled her eyes at her father. "It makes the kitchen look better." She decided, looking around the airy room. The wall were a cheerfull yellow and the cabinats were made of a light wood, making the room look almost like a magazine scence.

James shook his head again. "Little one, you are growing up to fast."


((Please tell me what you think.))

[potter_fan122]

Yea, that was the longest post I`ve ever posted.

[dobby888]

Wow congrats man!!

(( :P Fine, I`ll add to it.))

Stacey rolled her eyes but smiled anyway. "Dad, stop it." She protested.

James laughed and gently pushed his daughter away. "Go along." He taughted.

Later that night, when Stacey had finally been sent to bed, she lay awake on her bed. She stared at her ceiling blankly and as soon as she sensed her father`s snoring she took out her wand. The wood was cool in her warm hand.

She did a simple spell to make sure James was really alseep; he was. She jumped up silently and went to her desk. She was fully dressed, ready for what she was about to do. She flipped a notebook open and found a pen.

              Dad,
      Don`t worry about me. You know I`m fully capable of taking care of myself. I`ll be back tomorrow. I`ll be expecting your reply to my escape.

Stacey nodded as she reread her letter. She plopped it on her bed and opened the window. The nice thing about her dad, he expected her to try some elaborate escape if any. He would never think that she would climb out the window.

She flung a backpack over her shoulder and climbed out the window. It wasn`t hard to balance, she had been on Hogwart`s roof hundreds of times. She puled the window shut and jumped from the roof. She landed on her hands and feet, but at least not on her rear end.

Awesome, ;D

[dobby888]

Yay Stacey! Go on! Please it is so good!

[potter_fan122]

((Yea, yea, yea...))

Stacey stood up staright and brushed her hands off. She stood perfectly still for a moment to see if anyone had noticed her escape; aparently the neighbors didn`t care about her jumping from the second story.

Stacey adjusted her backpack and took off down the street. She had over two hundred dollars in cash in case she needed it. She borded the first bus headed west she saw. As she entered the bus, she found it was almost completely empty, she guessed no one wanted a ride anywhere at midnight. She sat in an empty seat near the middle of the bus.

She kind of felt bad for leaving her dad there alone. He wouldn`t be very happy with her when she got back, and she would probably be grounded for a long time. Two months at least.

The bus suddenly stopped again. A young man entered the bus. His rich brown hair glimmered in the faint over-head lights. He took a sweeping look around the walked down the narrow isle. (sp?) He stopped at Stacey`s seat. She looked out the window, pretending she hadm`t seen him.

He was goergous. (sp?) His grey eyes looked daring and his broad shoulders looked strong. Stacey felt some movement next to her and she turned to see what it was.

The young man was sitting next to her, staring into her eyes.
