Josie took the robe and put it on. She felt much better now. This was much more like it. Perhaps Josie's eternal nervousness had been shrugged off as normal issues about modesty. That was probably a good thing.

"I don't, no," Josie replied. "I work at the ministry. Just secretarial work - in the ever important department of magical games and sports" - Josie accompanied this with a sarcastic nod to the woman, and chucking slightly afterwards - "Basically, I know far more about quidditch than I ever wanted to." While Josie enjoyed her job, and did it very well, perhaps had she had more options upon leaving school she would have chosen something else. Something more within her interests. But the ministry provided a secure and well paid job.

"I don't think I could work in a shop," Josie added, "I'm probably too nervous and awkward for that." Working within the small department that was DMGaS was beneficial to Josie. While it was never perfect, at least she didn't sink into a pit of awkwardness every single day - just lots of days.
