Setting: Jake's flat, Knockturn Alley
Rating: PG
Summary: Gwen pops over to Jake's
Status: In progress

The term 'april showers' certainly applied to this rainy, wet day in England. The weather had been getting increasingly worse now for weeks, and a part of Jake wondered how much of it was of natural doing. Peering out through the curtains of his two bedroom flat in Knockturn Alley, he watched as a thunderstorm raged outside, wind whipping round buildings and causing shop signs to flail. Shaking his head in bemusement, he wandered over to his kitchen area to start boiling a kettle.

It had been a weekday like any other, Malkins wasn't particularly busy but for the same middle aged women coming in to get fitted for new robes. It paid enough however and paid the bills, which Jake was able to do, doing something he enjoyed. It wasn't all bad. He had also been able to work and live closely to his best friend Gwen, whom had be-friended him (arguably by force) when the pair were in their second year. Jake smiled briefly as he remembered how she'd called him boring for being in the library, and he had told her she looked completely out of place - they had been friends ever since.

Preparing a mug for his tea he popped a bag in ready and set a teaspoon neatly against the side of it before sitting back down in his favourite armchair and picking up the latest Witch Weekly, a guilty pleasure of his. The flat buzzer sounded a few moments later and Jake cocked his head on one side. Pulling his reading glasses down his nose he sighed, though it was likely to only be one of few people. 'Gwen', sounded his gut. A smile flickered across his face and he rose, heading towards the intercom system. "Gwendolyn Montgomery, don't tell me you're out in this storm?", he joked incredulously.

"Mmm", Jake replied dismissively. He was starting to feel things, and did not care to. Gwen was right, too, they were both alright. Taking a deep breath he exhaled loudly and smiled, his eyes meeting hers again. If she had not been here he would have undoubtedly fallen into one of his famous moods - but as luck had it...

"So other than almost getting yourself killed what else have you been up to?", he asked with a slightly serious tone to his voice. In the distance a crack of lightening sounded causing Jake's heart to stop for a moment. It was definitely closer than the last.

Smiling across the table at Jake, Gwendolyn picked u her glass again for another sip. At his question, Gwendolyn paused and considered the question. Where could she start. Most of the time she'd been whinging about her injury and the burns, and pointing out the different spots which were not healing properly, but somehow she doubted Jake would want a tour of her body. Gwen giggled top herself at the thought.

"Work, and then -" Gwen paused as the thunder sounded, involuntarily jumping in her chair. Her hand shook a little as she placed the glass back down. Trying to smile again, Gwendolyn shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Spent most of in rehearsal, had a fitting for my new costume too, but Kerry seems to be getting inundated at the moment and -" Gwen jumped again as thunder sounded again. "and didn't have much time, but adjustments had to be made, again. I still wish you were working with us."

Jake sat rather rigidly, holding in a curse word or two. After a moment he exhaled in a rather long and drawn out manner. "What on earth is going on tonight?", he gasped, putting a hand to his chest. "I would love to work with you too in theory love", he grinned, knowing what was coming next, "but let's face it, any more time spent with you would likely drive me potty", he laughed, a wide smile spreading across his face.

	"I don't know." Gwen said with a small frown as she listened to the storm occurring outside. It was just making her jumpy. Gwendolyn gasped out loud at Jake's words before shooting him a look. "Jacob Dorny!" She said in outrage, shaking her head. "I would not! I would more likely make you sooo hot that you just couldn't stand it anymore, and don't you lie." (Reply to this) (Parent)
