Most of the time, Jessica had real difficulty keeping herself entertained if there weren't any practices or matches. Usually she lost herself to her numerous vices and often had to be picked up at bars or police stations in any number of strange places. This year, though, as the winter marched on toward Christmas and Quidditch was on hiatus for the holidays, Jessica had something productive to keep herself busy.
The auto shop was doing fantastic business as people - terrified of the winter driving conditions - brought their beauties by in spectacular numbers to prepare for the possibility of a snow flurry. This meant, of course, plenty of shiny money plus hours spent digging about in mechanical guts which, by Jessica's reckoning, was the best way to spend an afternoon that didn't involve brooms, nudity, or alcohol.
It was a clear day on the coast of Ireland, though the temperature outside was somewhere in the 'brass brassiere' range. It was warm enough inside, though, with heaters going and classic rock piped in overhead. Her dad had never much cared for music to work by, but Jessica enjoyed the occasional sing-along with her crew.
In fact, she was midway through an improvised dance to Low Rider when she heard her name shouted over the speakers. She dropped her wrench - which had been a microphone about ten seconds prior - onto the work mat beside the old minivan and headed into the lobby.
