I decided to get closer to said piggy; I wanted to get a better shot so Rei would have to believe me. However, the closer I got to piggy, the bigger it became. Suddenly I realized that it wasn't a pig after all. It was a bo, a very, very pleasantly plump boy wearing a cream colored shirt. I then took my picture. I didn't walk all this way for nothing after all.
He wasn't alone anymore. His friends were coming out of the house he was standing in front of. Then they started speaking. Call me nosey, but I wanted to hear what they were saying. I sprinted and hid behind a tree that was across the street and two houses down from where they were at. I know, I'm pathetic.
"That was brilliant Big D."
"He squealed, Dud."
Haha. Dud.
Piggy replied, "I know. It was great. I have to go home now for my dad's birthday. We're going out somewhere. Same time tomorrow guys?"
"That'll work. We can have tea first at my flat. Mum would like that."
"Okay then see you tomorrow Piers,"he nods to the mommy's boy,"and Gordon," he then nods to the other.
"Yeah, see you Big D." With that they all separated and went in different directions..
My, wasn't that eventful? I totally didn't waste the last five minutes of my life that I'll never get back. They could have at least said something semi-interesting. Whatever...
So, I continued on my quest for pictures while avoiding Big D the piggy. Something told me to stay away from him, and I'm usually right about things like that. Finally he turned left, so naturally I turned right.
Anyway, I eventually made my way to a park. Don't ask how because I don't quite know how I maneuvered there myself.
Sure, I know that I was lost, but the park seemed like a nice, quiet place. Everything was picture perfect, almost as if it came out of an English postcard. It must have been well taken care of because everything was breathtaking. The summer flowers were gorgeous and in full bloom. Trees lined the whole park. I took some more pictures.
Then I realized that I wasn't alone. There was a boy sitting on a bench in the far corner of the park. I leisurely made my way there while taking pictures.
His head was bowed down; he must have been looking at the ground. From my vantage point, he looked kind of cute. He was really cute actually. He had messy dark brown, almost black, hair. He looked tall too. And I think he had glasses.
Yep, definitely cute. And he looks about my age too, sixteen.
'Maybe I could walk in his line of vision? Then he might talk to me? Haha, Minako would be proud.'
I put the plan into action, but nothing ever turns out the way I wish it to. I was walking, walking, walking... Oh no. I fell. I don't know what I tripped on, but I know when I landed it really hurt my already sore backside.
The only thing that came from my mouth was "owie." No, thank goodness he didn't see me fall right in front of him.
His head turned at the sound, though. When he met my gaze, I saw brilliant green eyes.. There was laughter dancing in his eyes too, making them sparkle. And he had an unique lightning bolt scar on his forehead... He really is very cute.
"Er, are you alright?" he said. It sounded like he was trying to hold back laughter
"Yeah I'm fine, thank you." Smooth Usa. You're doing fine. Don't choke on your words... Don't make a bigger fool of yourself.
"Oh, that's good..." He trailed off. Is he shy too? 'Come on Usa. Make the next move...'
"I'm sorry about disturbing you. My name is Usagi Tuskino by the way."
"Mine is Harry, Harry Potter. I haven't seen you around here before. Did you just move here?"
"Yes. I got here a few weeks ago. I'm originally from Japan. Um... speaking of just moving here... do you know where Privet Drive is? I kinda tried to avoid a mean looking lump of a boy and sort of got lost. I hate bothering you and all, but I really need to get back home soon."
"You live on Privet? That's a coincidence. I live there too. I'll walk yo home."
I turned bright red. I've known him for less than ten minutes and I'm already blushing like an idiot.
But he is soo cute.
We started off in the opposite direction of that which I came from. 'I really must have been lost.' It seemed like we were only walking for a few seconds when we ended up at my front door.
"Thank you so much Harry. I would have been walking in circles forever!"
"It was no problem, really."
"Thank you anyway. You are my knight in shining armor." I said while pretending to swoon.
"It's fine." He was chuckling..
"Okay. Goodbye dear knight." I smiled at him.
"Fare well young maiden." His smile was so very dreamy.
And with that we separated. He went further down the street and I went into my new home.
"I'm home mom."
And there was nothing.
"Mom?" By now I was freaked out. I ran through the house looking for her, but she wasn't home. Was she taken away? Kidnapped! Or Worse!
"LUNA!" She came flying down the stairs, like there was a fire in the house.
"WHAT'S WRONG USAGI?" By this time I'm hysterical.
"WHERE'S MOM!"
"Oh, she went out with that man," Luna replied calmly.
"She left! Is there a note or something? I didn't see any."
"She must have thought that you would have figured that out on your own."
"What! She's never just left before like that. Do you know where she went?"
"She went with that new man. Speaking of that man, There is something you should know about him..."
Another one done. Hopefully I as well as the story am/is getting better.
She finally met Harry, and the age question was answered.
Jay FicLover - I think that sometimes children are separated during a divorce, and I don't know exactly when she'll meet the rest of the Harry Potter gang. And remember, the story's title is My Stepfather and there will eventually be a wedding. And maybe we should talk about your new fic idea sometime. I'm not sure if I can do that story by myself, and you said that you have no interest in authoring it by yourself, but maybe we can co-author it together?
samissweet - I can't wait for you to write more. I just love your writing so much. That box of glass thing was based from experience... lets just say that we have a messy attic and I'm always in a hurry. My box only had toys in it though... Luna has some suspicions about Remus, and I'm trying to write as much as possible as fast as possible so that I can get feedback and improve. I'll try to make the chapters longer. Oh, and you asked something in Perfection about age and place you live. 15 and Pittsburgh.
