Seriously, when I put up the first story, it was intended to be just a stupid little oneshot. But I guess now it'll probably become a collection of stupid little oneshots.

And yes, I did do this one as well. T'is an awesome thing to do, but now my fingers hurt. :(

Thanks to everyone for your positive feedback~!

"Jamie," James said softly, knocking quietly on her bedroom door, "Time to wake up, sweetheart. It's your big day." He opened the door, expecting to find his daughter still curled up deeply in her blankets and grumbling for a few more minutes. And was therefore surprised when she shrieked in surprise and twirled around where she stood, pointing her new wand in his direction, tripping over her feet in the process. She crashed to the floor.

"You said nine!" She cried indignantly, as James tried to stifle his sniggers.

"It is nine," James replied, watching as she rubbed the spot on her back that had hit the floor and pretended to be rubbing his nose to hide his smile.

"Oh." Jamie pulled herself back to her feet and quickly located her wand, which had flown out of her hand. She dusted off her rumpled pyjamas, and flicked some of her shoulder-length black hair out of her face, the rest of it sitting un-brushed, and puffed out in every direction on the top of her head. The rounded glasses she wore were perched rather lopsidedly on her nose, but she quickly adjusted them so they sat straight.

"What were you doing?" He asked incredulously, wondering why she hadn't still been asleep like every other morning that summer. To his increasing surprise, she blushed a deep red and quickly hid her wand behind her back, even though he had already seen it.

"Nothing."

James raised his eyebrow at her, feeling extremely curious at her odd behaviour. "Really?" He replied, drawing out the consonants. "Then why have you got your wand out? You won't be able to do magic for another few hours."

For several seconds, she stared determinedly at her bare feet, until finally sighing in defeated sort-of-way and saying, "Ok, I'll show you, but you have to promise not to laugh."

"I won't," he said.

Sighing again, Jamie moved to stand in the middle of her floor, her wand pointed out in front of her. With one last unsure glance at James, she took a deep breath, steadying herself, before flicking her wrist upwards and sending her wand twirling up into the air. It twisted, one, twice, three times, before beginning its descent, falling right past her outstretched hand and bouncing slightly on the carpet, rolling out of sight.

James raised his eyebrow. "Was that it?" He asked, as she scrambled to retrieve it. If she had been red before, it was nothing to what she was now.

"No! No, that wasn't it!" She cried, righting herself and waving furiously at him, her wand once again clutched within her grip. "I'll try again."

And she did. The wand twirled through the air again, although this time landed right in Jamie's outstretched hand, the right way and everything.

James felt a grin sliding onto his face, but managed to contain it.

"Why were you doing that?"

"I-I don't know, I just thought it'd be cool if I could…" she trailed off, looking awkward.

"If you could…?"

Jamie looked him right in the eye, "It was just a stupid thing. I thought it's be pretty awesome if I could, I don't know, point my wand at something, and do it," she demonstrated again, the wand once again landing square in the middle of her palm, "And then cast some spell, or something…" She trailed off again, although James thought he heard the words 'cool' and 'awesome' again.

He looked at her, his face completely blank and she looked back, uncomfortably shifting from foot to foot, and twisting her wand between her hands.

Then, after a good ten seconds, James burst into laughter, and gave his 11-year-old daughter a quick hug, laughing harder at the expression on her face.

"You said you wouldn't laugh!" She scowled, as James turned to leave.

"Sorry love, I couldn't help myself." He hiccupped, "Come on, get ready; you'll be off to Hogwarts soon, and then you'll be able to show everyone your awesome wand skills." He then quickly closed the door behind him to avoid the pillow that was thrown in his direction.

Still chuckling, James pulled out his own wand and gave it a flick into the air, surprised when it landed right back in his hand.

"Hmm, that is pretty cool…"
