"So I was wondering," said Jane as he and Albus took their respected places. "Do you by any chance got some kind of, well, special cloak or something? You know, since your dad was Harry Potter and all, and maybe he had something like that,"
Jane must have thought she'd done a terrible job in explaining her question, for it was soon confirmed by Albus' raised eyebrows.
"Why?" asked Albus carefully. He had indeed knew about his dad's special cloak; the infamous Invisibility Cloak that had helped him survived many times. Harry even told his children that someday he may just pass on the cloak to one of them. Albus knew it would be James; as he was much cleverer and older than he is, but couldn't help but kept a little hope for the cloak in his heart. Imagine, he thought, a cloak that could make you invisible! What to do with it on Hogwarts, except for stealing food in the kitchen (he didn't know how to access the kitchen, but it intrigued him very much), or to wander around Hagrid's cabin after curfew? The endless opportunities he could achieve...
When he was lost in his mind though, Jane bit her lip. "Well," she began nervously, which made Albus raised his suspicion even more, "I'd seen - umm, heard, actually - about it somewhere. Do you really have it?" she said.
Albus nodded slowly. "Yeah," he said quietly. "Yeah, but it's not mine. It was my dad's. I dunno where it is now, though," he added quickly, "probably passed on to James. He said he'd give it to one of us when we're ready," he said, and there was a bit of bitterness on his voice, as though he had just swallowed a coal. "Cause I'm just not good enough, I suppose ..." he muttered under his breath so silently that Jane could pretend not to hear them.
"I don't understand though," said Jane hurriedly. "What's so special about it? I mean, what does it do?" she continued, and it was fairly easy for Albus to hint her hidden eagerness on her tone. She had make it like she was interested, not like she was trying to challenge the cloak's ability, thought Albus amusingly.
"It made you invisible," Albus answered shortly.
"It made you ..." Jane's voice tailed away, and Albus could tell that she was thinking - perhaps remembering - something.
More and more curious he was on the fact why the cloak disturbed Jane so much, he finished Jane's words, "Invisible, yeah. Think of all sorts of stuff you can do with it, right? Nicked food, prank someone - James would thought that'd be funny. Not me, though, I'll used for something good, like my dad did. He saved people with that thing, you know," he said proudly, grinning in excitement. "But enough about my family, what about you? What'd you use it for?" he asked.
"Me?" said Jane. "I dunno, maybe the stuff your brother'd do," she smiled, and change the subject to "Kwidditch" hastily.
