"I hate Careers people" moaned Connie. "They always tell you exactly what you don't want to hear"
"That means I'll get told I'm perfect as a Healer" grumbled Lilly Clearwater, Connie's absolute best friend. (A/N Penelope Clearwater's little sister)
"So I'm a teacher" laughed Connie. "Of Divination"
"You didn't take Divination" pointed out Lilly. "So they can't tell you that"
Connie rolled her eyes at her friend. They were sat in the back of Charms class waiting for their turn to go to Professor Flitwick's office and see the Careers witch.
"I don't get why we have to go again!" moaned Alicia Spinnet. "Going in fifth year was bad enough"
"Lucky Fred and George got away in time" added Lilly. "I'll bet Umbridge will be there glaring over at me as well"
"Look it's quarter to three" said Connie. "I'd better go!"
Connie gathered her books together and the teacher covering Professor Flitwick, acknowledged her exit. Up a flight of stairs and then along to Professor Flitwick's office went Connie. When she opened the door she found Lilly's prediction to be true. Professor Umbridge sat in a corner, a huge glare written all over her face.
"Ah Connie!" greeted Professor Flitwick. "How are you?"
"Fine thanks Professor" said Connie sitting down in a vacant chair.
"Now your N.E.W.T.s " said Professor Flitwick turning a page in his pile of papers.
"Charms, Muggle Studies, Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Herbology and Defence Against the Dark Arts" replied Connie, counting on her fingers.
"What career choices have you considered?" Umbridge butted in.
"Healing and that department that deals with all things muggle in the Ministry" said Connie eagerly, for she had spent many hours combing the small print in leaflets.
Umbridge tutted quietly and made a note on her clipboard. Flitwick asked Connie a few more questions before dismissing her. But before she could leave, Umbridge made a final remark.
"You should probably learn the name of the department in the Ministry you want to work in"
Connie felt herself going red. How like Umbridge to show her up like that! She left the room and raced off to find Lilly.
Short first chapter I know but I'm just getting into this story at the moment!
