Renny slipped into the tent, her eyes widening as she entered the great tent. She heard Jerris gasp next to her and she looked down at her little brother. It was not often a muggle boy was privy to such things, but she was in the process of winning full guardianship of him, seeing as her aunt was getting sick of having to deal with him and Renny wanted him out of that terrible household. Besides, having two witch sisters did have a plus side.
Renny adjusted her dress, kicking her boots, swirling the dirt on the floor the tent. She glanced around, holding the bag of popcorn she had bought up slightly as she manuevered her way around a small pack of children pushing their way into the tent. There was room for hundreds and hundreds of people, though from the outside it was hard to believe a single elephant could fit inside. The tent could hold dozens of elephants comfortably.
She looked down at Jerris, whose wonder was so large that pieces of popcorns were falling from his own bag as he stared around. Renny grinned and said, "Come on then," in her soft voice. She smiled and led him into the tent, looking around and pointing at an empty bench at the top of the tent. She gestured him to step in front of her and begin climbing the stands.
They reached their seats and she brushed her dress forward before sitting carefully, setting the bag of popcorn next to her, pinching a small handful of it with two fingers before popping it into her mouth. The acrobats were already in full swing and Jerris was already on his feet, whooping and cheering at each new demonstrated feat. Renny giggled and watched with wide, blue eyes.
