It was a big morning! Her first interview for the ministry! And it began with the department of international magical co-operation. She had applied for a few other areas – magical law enforcement where she had interned, and magical beasts where she had had an interest in school and which seemed like a very interesting area of work.

She had arrived in plenty of time – more than 2 hours before she need present herself to the secretary. Nerves and an eagerness to not hash out the same argument with Ana again had saw her slipping out of the house with an abundance of time. It did feel like throwing Ana’s kindness back in her face somewhat but she couldn’t pretend anymore. She needed to do this – for herself.
She was killing time in the canteen nursing the same cup of tea that she had ordered 30 minutes before, staring at the dregs of tea in the cup and wishing she had been better at divination and could read the tea leaves when she became aware that someone was speaking to her.
