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.
