It was obvious that summer was here. The sun was shining bright and the warm breezes that blew were a sure fire sign that his season was here. It was too bad that he had to work throughout the summer. But it was okay, he did have some free time so he could manage everything just fine, he hoped. This was his first year having to juggle a job with his summer for real. But he knew he would be able to do it, he'd always been a sort of multitasker so he'd manage.
Now he had a day off from work and he didn't have any classes to teach either so he decided to go off somewhere for the day. Where he was going, he wasn't very sure about. But soon enough he found that his wanderings had led him to Diagon Alley. It was as good a place as any to spend a day off, he decided and he began to walk down the street, looking into every other shop for something that might interest him. All the shops had interesting things, but nothing was enough to grab his attention for very long.
Since he started working at the Ministry and Hogwarts, Jake found that not many things surprised him anymore. If something new was out he would know about it almost immediately from either someone at Hogwarts, be it student of teacher, or from someone at the Ministry. So it was hard for something he saw in shops to interest him because he'd already seen then somewhere. He sighed softly and kept walking down the street, his head lowered a bit as he looked down at his feet, wishing he could have a friendly duel with someone, like he usually did with Omara.
