Summary: Emma tries again to find a job only to become more discouraged than ever. Maybe meeting someone new will brighten her spirits.
Emma sighed and looked for a place to sit down so she could rest her feet. She’d been out most of the day looking for work. Unfortunately, there were just too many people in Hogsmeade, too many people needing work and getting desperate. Even the meanest jobs were being snapped up as soon as they were posted.
Her rational mind complained it couldn’t be this difficult to find a position. She was a Ravenclaw, and one of the top of her class. She’d worked for the Ministry, and her performance record was spotless. The problem was, the performance record had gone up in flames at the same time the Ministry had been destroyed. No one who knew her job performance and could attest to her record was left.
She was well and truly screwed, and she was getting worried.
Things around town were so expensive. She was getting into serious straits. The things she had stolen, no appropriated from her brother were disappearing faster than she had hoped, and only the kindness of the house-elves at the B’n’B were allowing her to eat and keep a roof over her head, too. But if something didn’t turn up soon, she was going to have to leave the Inn because she wouldn’t be able to afford the let on the room.
Making a face, she spotted a relatively clean place she could sit down and headed that direction. Once there, she slipped off her shoes, rubbing her toes with a sigh.
