The Road to Success is a long and hard one. That's what she said. Jack was as immature as ever, and he couldn't help but mock other people for not being as laid-back as he was. He was currently in Detention for giving a smart remark to a teacher when he forgot to hand his homework to her. This place was probably the most visited place in Hogwarts by Jack. Well, besides the Great Hall. Jack had a knack forgetting in and out of trouble. It was just that this particular teacher knew his tricks, and didn't let herself get fooled by him.
It wasn't that Jack was a bad student and wasn't smart. No, Jack was basically a genius at his level.It was just that Jack would often be smart to teachers every once in a while, or just not pay attention during class. It was something Jack was constantly told to work on. His attention span and his level of effort. He constantly had talks about this, from the professors, to his own mother. The only person that gave him the talks was his step-father.
Jack sat in the hard wooden chair, tipping it back every so slightly, looking around the room boredly. He coughed into his elbow loudly, the Detention Moderators head snapping up, their eyes boring into Jack. He gave a shrug and mouthed, What?, and looked back down at his parchment, his quill tapping obnoxiously against his desk, and then he started doodling aimlessly on his homework, his mind wandering around the place. Finally, after the homework s edges have been neatly filled with aimless pictures and other cartoons, he tipped his chair back again, the back two legs taking all his weight, and stared off at his homework, sighing quietly.
