Hidden Talent

Chapter: 04

'Aren't we gonna be a little cramped in there' Jack wondered as the group reached a white silk tent that looked as though it would hold around two bedroom compartments and had a classy ribbon banner with 'Malfoy' stitched into it with silver thread. There was no way they could all fit in there while laying down, wasn't this supposed to be First class?!

"What you waiting for?" Draco grunted, grabbing the albino's arm and dragging him after their parents into the tent. Upon stepping inside, Jack couldn't help but gasp in wonder, it was official, he loved this type of magic! Inside the small tent was a large sitting area with drapes tied open on each 'wall' that seemed to be the entrances to three equally large bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen.

"Awesome! It's like the 'TARDIS'!!" Jack cheered, bouncing on his heels excitedly, being his usual nerdy, science-fiction buff self.

"Tar- what?" Draco frowned at the Goth in utter confusion, while the adults simply ignored him, occupying themselves with settling in to their 'rooms'.

"The 'TARDIS', Time and relative dimension in space. Doctor Who's ship. Its bigger on the inside"

"Doctor who? Don't you know his name or something?" the blond asked, still completely bewildered.

"That's not-" Jack began before looking over Draco's blank face "Ya' know what, forget it as muggle-based nonsense" he waved off, not wanting to explain what 'Doctor Who' was, never mind Television.

"Alright boys, that's enough chit-chat. Go chose a bunk" Lucy instructed, rolling her eyes at Jack's enthusiasm as she gestured to the 'room' with the lavished bunk-bed in it while she fussed around her own room, adjusting everything just-so "I'd like to get everything done so we can have a cup of tea before meeting the Minister"

'Get everything ready?' Jack wondered what really needed to be done since they hadn't actually brought anything with them in the first place. Shrugging, the Goth followed behind Draco into their own room and threw himself down onto the bottom bunk and sprawling out in a lazy manner.

"...Aren't you going to fight me for the top bunk?" Draco frowned in confusion, standing over the relaxed albino. He'd fully expected to fight tooth and nail for the top bunk, he'd heard from Daphne Greengrass that's what she did with her sister whenever they took a trip and he'd just expected that was what he'd have to do with Jack.

"Nahh" Jack waved a lazy hand at him "I've got nothing against heights or anything; I just cant be bothered"

"...Are you always this lazy?"

"No. I'm usually very active, but the last week's been rather tiring with all the excitement about me being a wizard and all that" Jack shrugged before pulling himself out of the bed "So what's there to do around this place?"

"Not an awful lot before the game, I'm afraid" Draco sighed, peering out of the curtain separating their room from the main living area, watching their parents settle down for a cup of tea "I would suggest a trip around the merchandise stalls, but I doubt there's enough time..."

"A cup of tea it is then" Jack grumbled, scrunching his nose as he approached the chatting adults.

-----------------

The Quidditch pitch was amazing, according to Draco the gigantic stadium seated a hundred thousand patrons at any one time, the atmosphere alone nearly made up for the climb to the Top Box. Repeat; nearly.

Jack was the fist one to admit he wasn't the most fittest of guys, but this was ridiculous, by the time the Top Box came into clear view Jack felt about ready to faint. "Hate...Exorcise!" Jack gasped desperately, using the railing to pull himself up the last couple steps "Need...Helipack!"
