While I'm sure nobody will care. I'm just letting everyone know that I wont be going to Hogsmead this weekend. 

I'm really in no mood for frivolous traipsing about in the local town to be quiet honest. And I will very much enjoy the silence of the tower being quiet.

It will let me catch up on my writing. It's not like I wanted to go out anyway.

[At the moment she was indeed feeling very lonely. Watching him move closer she made no move to lean away or even acknowledge it.]

I was considering going into 6th year. I've never had any thought of leaving any earlier than I should.

[She pauses for a moment, Victoria knows what she wants, but for some reason she thinks Greg might find it a little silly.]

I want to work in the Ministry, in the muggle relations department.

[di_intraining]

Muggle relations huh? Any particular reason why?

[nobodyscrumpet]

Well, Daddy sort of inspired me.

What with him being a wizard and in the Muggle police force. I though it would be nice to be in the wizarding world helping muggles. There really isn't a lot the magical world understands about muggles after all.


((Had to re-work her parents linage to make family tree work right))

[di_intraining]

Your dad's in the force?

[Now that's something he never knew.]

[nobodyscrumpet]

He's a Sargent in SOCA division.

[di_intraining]

That's pretty impressive.

My dad wants me to join the force actually, after I graduate. Wants me to get into the CID.

[nobodyscrumpet]

I think the thought of you being in the police force is actually a very fitting idea. It suits you.

I would even say those hats would even suit your head.

[di_intraining]

Really? Why's that?

[nobodyscrumpet]

Because it's pointed.

[She's teasing him again. In fact, she giggled as she wrote it.]

[di_intraining]

[He'll let her slide this time. He even gives her a small smile of his own.]

Ha ha, very funny.

I actually don't mind it, you know. Being compared with them. It was actually my dream as a kid to join the force.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Really? It was?

Somehow I can see you with those little plastic bobbie hats, arresting other children in the streets for littering and being a bully.

[di_intraining]

Well I was thinking of getting involved in more serious crime than public littering.

Actually...I was thinking of working with homicide cases. Murder. Assault. Those kind, you know?

[nobodyscrumpet]

[She smiles.]

I meant went you were little, ducky.

But homicide? Really? A little beastly don't you think?

[di_intraining]

If I did that when I was little, I'd have been beaten up in the alleyway a hundred times over. One boy isn't much against a gang of them, is he?

It is, but I think there's a lot of people who steer clear away from it. If everyone did that, there wouldn't be anyone else left working there, would it?

[nobodyscrumpet]

Well, you do have a point there. As sweet as the thought of you writing little asbos to other little children, you are right about the fact you would get beaten up.

Well no, there wouldn't be. But I'm sure you can do really well in the police force.

[di_intraining]

Thanks.

How did your dad do it? Get into the force I mean. I don't think you can list Hogwarts down or translate your NEWTs into A-level grades.

[nobodyscrumpet]

He took an equivilency at a technical college before he applied to the force. Mumsie helped him with things he wouldn't know, like computers.

[di_intraining]

Was it hard? For him, I mean. I don't think you can just use a Stupefy jinx to take down Muggle crooks.

[nobodyscrumpet]

He said it was a challenge that he was eager to take on.

[di_intraining]

Your dad sounds like a pretty tough guy. Why the Muggle world though?

[nobodyscrumpet]

He likes muggles, and their crime system isn't like ours because they don't have dementors or the like when they're being processed. So he just wanted to make the muggle world a better place.

[di_intraining]

...strange. I mean, it's noble and good what he's doing and his intentions, but I can't say I've met a wizard who actually wants to help Muggles. You get all sorts saying that we're fascinating, interesting creatures, almost like we should be studied in a zoo.

I've never actually heard of a wizard who's put himself in the line of fire for us.

Your dad sounds like a great man.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Mumsie helped him realise muggles aren't like purple giraffes.

He is considered a little strange by the rest of the family admittedly.

But he really is a good man, at least I think.
