Cia was working outside on her steps, a sketchpad on her knee. She saw the glowing form run past, and tilted her head, looking after it. It looke like a Patronus--Sirius had shown her one. But he said they were only used against some scary sounding things---dementeds and lethifulls, or some weird shit like that.

She got up and started walking. Not following it, but going in the other direction, looking for whoever cast it. It wasn't Sirius' patronus, but it could've been Remus' or Barty's.

Instead, she found a boy. Well...not really. He was probably 2 or 3 years older than she was. 'Hello...' she said. 'Did you cast that?'

[jsiriuspotter]

James looked up at the girl that just walked up to him. He wasn't usually one to notice girls, but she was quite unusual. In that interesting, he definitely wanted to know more about her kind of way. He stood up quickly and brushed off his clothes, having been raised a gentleman to the core. He smiled a little.

"That patronus? Yeah, I did that. Looking for my grandfather. He's supposed to be meeting me here. Have you seen him? He's about...this tall?" He raised his hand to a couple of inches above his own head.

"Very ginger. Bit over weight, but mum says he's always been big, even when he wasn't really fat." He chuckled softly.

"Goes by the name Arthur?"

[rebel_cia]

She shook her head. 'Nope. There's only 3 other wizards here that we know of. And me. I'm a witch. But only just found that out a few months ago.'

She tipped her head thinking. 'Sirius or Remus might know your grandfather. I know I've heard Sirius mention an Arthur.'

[jsiriuspotter]

James smiled a little at the mention of other wizards and then the smile faded quickly.

"Wait....you've talked to..." He scratched the back of his neck. That couldn't be possible.

"Are you talking about Sirius Black and Remus Lupin?" His parents had told him all about both men. His father always talked of them so fondly, as if they were surrogate fathers to him. But they were both dead. Weren't they?

[rebel_cia]

Cia smiled, ducking her head, her long unnaturally red hair covering her face and hiding the blush.

'You can stay long as you like,' she said. 'Like I said--plenty of room. Though may hafta put up a curtain or somethin' cos there's only one bedroom.' Not that that was a big deal.

'Also, I'm gonna try, but might need one of you to conjure a bed. I'm probably not quite that good,' she said smirking.

[jsiriuspotter]

James blushed a bit himself. "I can do that. S'one of the things I'm actually good at. And I can conjure up a screen, too. That way we have some privacy." Though he wasn't sure he really wanted that.

[rebel_cia]

She nodded. 'I wanna try first. To see if I can manage. If not... maybe you can teach me?' she asked, almost coquettishly.

[jsiriuspotter]

James smuiled a bit and cleared his throat. "Of course. Gotta learn how to do it proper. Though you might already know." He scratched the back of his neck and looked at Sirius, then at Cia.

"Would you mind giving us a minute? I need to ask something.....personal." He blushed slightly.

[rebel_cia]

She nodded. 'I know,' she said, her voice soft. She stepped back, reluctantly. want some tea or something before bed?' she asked

[jsiriuspotter]

James shook his head.

"No thank you. But...do we have to go to bed right away? Maybe we could talk for a bit?" He smiled softly.

[rebel_cia]

'Okay,' she said, with a nod and excused herself long enough to get some water before she returned and curled up on the sofa.

[jsiriuspotter]

James walked over and joined Cia on the couch, though he sat a little bit away from her.

"So. What do you want to talk about?" He smiled a little and scratched the back of his neck.

[rebel_cia]

'Nothin' wrong with that,' she said squeezing his waist gently. 'I think it's sweet.'

[jsiriuspotter]

James cleared his throat and shifted a little on the couch. "I'm acting like a big baby, crying over my mum." He laughed a little and wiped at his eyes.

"It's just.....strange, knowing that I won't wake up to her making me breakfast tomorrow morning. Won't have a sit down with Dad before he goes off to work." He sighed.

[rebel_cia]

She shrugged. 'I dont see nothin' wrong with it,' she said. 'You love and miss your family. If I had one, I'd prolly do the same,' she pointed out.

[jsiriuspotter]

James nodded a little, then sat back and ran his fingers through his hair.

"In a way you're kind of lucky. Not having anybody to miss." He sighed. "Part of me wishes they were here but part of me doesn't."

[rebel_cia]

Cia rolled her eyes. 'I said weird shit happens here.

'If that magical force can imitate tons of peoples handwriting, it can probably bring your mums cookies'

[jsiriuspotter]

James made a face. "Maybe. I don't know. Guess we'll just have to wait and see, huh?" He smiled a little.

"Can you cook?"

[rebel_cia]

She lauged. 'Not very well. I usually just tell the house what I went and when I go to the kitchen a few minutes later it's there

[jsiriuspotter]

"That's.....bizarre among other things." He tilted his head. "So if I say....I want some tea and raspberry scones...." He raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.
