It was getting to the point where the winter was creeping up on Jack and sitting in the park at an outdoor kiosk probably wasn't the smartest idea, but Jack was definitely fortunate he'd been born a wizard. He normally bundled up pretty good for the last few weeks of his so-called 'drawing season' but it was helpful that he was able to cast a warming charm on his jumper. He hated wearing those stupid fingerless gloves, but if he didn't, his hands turned pink and his sketches turned out a little jagged. He hated bad sketches even more.
He liked being funny and so caricatures were just up his alley - sometimes Jack did normal sketches, when people whinged or asked for them, but it kept his imagination busy. Usually Jack also kept up a chat while sketching, but the woman was so clipped and short with her conversation, Jack had fallen silent and decided to just get it over with. Jack glanced up at his 'audience' and gave a flicker of a smile before pulling out his colours and adding just a few finishing touches to the sketch.
Jack was used to having people hover, it was how he got most of his business. Sometimes he called friends to show up and sit for him while he sketched and drew a small crowd. Having an empty seat made it seem like no one wanted your drawings and Jack didn't like that. It was all about advertising. He signed the bottom with a pen and handed the stiff paper to the woman with a nervous smile - it was always the most nervewracking part, the reveal. Jack let out his breath as the woman laughed and smiled at her. "It's so funny! My husband will love it! Doesn't look anything like me, but it's funny!" she said, pressing her payment into his palm before walking off. Jack flipped to a new sheet in his page and motioned to the now-vacant seat, speaking to Harry over his shoulder, "D'you know that some artists charge people to let them watch their art being created? I could say I'm not one of those pompous pricks, but I think I'm gonna have to make you sit for me."
He turned back and gave Harry a half-smile, "And don't think you can say no either."
