Father has ordered me not to go on the trip. If Mandy had just signed the permission form herself instead of insisting that father should see it... It'd be cheering to have someone else who knew, then they could have told me not to read it. I can't even replicate Father's hand to say I can go...and if Mother was alive, this wouldn't be a problem at

Why wouldn't your father want you to go?

He said: 'You're at school to learn, not to go on vacations, Eleanor'.

You will be learning, about the Ministry. Or that's the idea, I'm not sure how much real learning will be taking place.

In any case, it's unfortunate that you'll be stuck here.

Exactly! And if I want to work there, I have to know what it's like! Then again...Father is a muggle, so to him it probably looks like a waste of time.

It'll probably be deathly dull.
