I am pleased to report that I have been offered a job at the Ministry, with the Department of International Magical Relations. I have accepted a position as a clerk with the International Magical Trading Standards Body (the office involved with imports and exports).

The job starts Monday.

Private message to Penelope Clearwater

It's rather a scut position, something to just get my foot in the door, I understand. But if everything works out, I should be able to step up to something more challenging and interesting in perhaps six months or so.

I was going to say.

I mean, it's great that you've got anything at all, of course! And this will get you out of the house, which I know is probably more important than anything.

Just do so well they have to promote you, you know? If I know you you'll have the whole place organised and completely efficient inside of a month.

You know me. Organisation is my specialty.

It's just such a relief to have the whole thing settled.

Re: Private message to Penelope Clearwater

Yes, and it is a job at the Ministry, at least. Which is something.

Only it's a good thing we planned for you to continue living at home for a while, I reckon. I mean, clerk in an office inside one of the smaller departments, well ... starting wage probably isn't as much as you hoped, is it?

No, I'm afraid not. I will have to pin my hopes on the promotion down the line once I've had a chance to prove myself.

It's all right. They won't know how lucky they are until you dazzle them. And you will prove yourself, Perce. I'm sure of that!
