I can barely believe it
I've been in shock for the past week. I didn't dare write about this here until now, so not to jinx myself. I can now count myself among the employed. At the Ministry, no less. Nothing glamourous of course, only Magical Maintenance. I suspect that I will be unclogging toilets and emptying bins, but I can't complain, as it's a paying position. It's really no different than my normal chores, so I think it'll be easy enough to manage.
When I told Mrs Crouch over dinner Monday night, she barely blinked and said that it was about time that I started carrying my own weight about the household. Mr Crouch was no where to be seen that evening, but I suspect that it's thanks to his influence that this opportunity even presented itself. Some congratulations from Mrs Crouch might have been nice, but I expect that she would wish me to start paying for my own room and board, now that I have an income.
Dare I hope that this might lead to a position within the Ministry that makes use of my Hogwarts education? Any third year student could fulfill these job responsibilities, and I would love to have the opportunity to be challenged in my work. Perhaps that is too much to ask, considering the difficulty I had in finding any job. In any case, I start bright and early tomorrow morning, two full days of orientation.
