RESURGENCE

Chapter 4

Someone once said that death is just the next great adventure. I never knew how true those words were until I took my last breath.

Hannah Stone: daughter, sister, friend, and resident stoner.

That all changed the night I died and that was three months ago. Now I'm Jasmine Potter: daughter, future friend, future pothead, and drug dealer. Don't worry I'll only sell weed but right now my only problem is how I'm going to get the snacks dad left on the coffee table because he forgot my drink. I'm on the floor playing with the stuffed stag, dog, wolf, doe, and rat toy mum and dad got me. Finally after for what felt like forever he returns and give me the snacks and juice that's rightfully mine.

"Sorry Prongslet, I know how you feel about your food," he tells me apologetically. I have made it known how I feel about my food. How dare he leave it on the table.

A few days ago Padfoot thought it would be a good idea to try and sample some of my food. Well it didn't go so well and every time he wanted to hold me I gave him the stink eye. I forgave him though after a bribery of my favorite puff cereal snack.

Anyways back to the present. I'm on the floor chillin, eating my snacks while me and dad play with my toys, when Uncle Padfoot and Moony come through the floo scaring the heebie-jeebies out of me. My baby instincts start to show around times like this so without my consent my bottom lip starts to quiver warning them I'm about to cry. Before I began to cry my dad scooped me into his arms and cooed at me.

"It's ok Bambi, please don't cry. I'm sorry the mean men spooked you. It's just Uncle Padfoot and Uncle Moony."

When he said that I began to smile and turned toward them. They looked relieved that I didn't start crying and was smiling but it wasn't to be nice. No I'm gonna mess with them just a little bit.

With that thought in mind I turned toward Uncle Moony and reached for him so he could hold me. When I was in his arms I looked directly at Uncle Padfoot and uttered me bury first words, "Pa'foo meanie." I then giggled and stuck my tongue out for extra affect. Teasing Uncle Padfoot has easily become one of my favorite things to do.

The look on their faces was absolutely priceless. First I noticed shock and then humor(mostly dad and Uncle Moony).

"MERLIN SHE JUST SAID HER FIRST WORD AND IT WAS MY NAME!"

"Um Sirius I think she said something along the lines of Padfoot meanie," Dad tried to explain but ended up laughing towards the end.

Then I saw the dawning realization that he knew I thought he was mean.

"What no I'm not mean Bambi."

He looks like a kicked puppy right now. Well I mean he is a dog. I think imma keep this up for a little bit longer.

I then cross my arms and say a little bit louder, "Pa'foo meanie."

Uncle Moony and dad then burst into hysterical laughter and Uncle Padfoot looks like I just told him the worst piece of information ever. After he made that face I joined in on the laughter and reach for him to hold me to reassure I'm just joking.

When he grabbed me out of Moony's arms I patted his cheek and told him, "only joking."

I think that fixed it because we all ended up laughing again. I can't wait til I'm old enough to pull bigger pranks.

Quick A/N

I just want y'all to know that if I sound like an old person with words like heebie-jeebies it's just how I am. I do actually sound old sometimes but I like it that way so deal with it. I say shit like britches because I think saying pants is weird.
