Hmmmm...

Was it a pair of wardrobes that allowed instant travel between them, one inside Hogwarts and the other outside (possibly in Diagon Alley)?

I'm not very confident about whether that's right though!

It was! Well done.

They were Vanishing Cabinets, one in Borgin and Burkes, and the other in the Room of Requirement

OK, next question...

What legendary event is hosted by Hogwarts during Harry's fourth year?

HBS x

I'm leaving that one for someone else to have a guess (as I can't remember the answer )

I can't remember either, but I remember all the other schools turning up including Cedric Diggory, if I have the right event. Was it the [insert name of that broomstick polo game here] World Cup?

quiddich, that's it!

Izadora

Was it the Tri Wizard tournament?

I've got a feeling that was something to do with Goblet of Fire but can't actually get the books in order at the moment...

Ok............having been stressing and worrying to the point of just wanting to cry, I am going to ask for a little help here......sorry this might end up being a long post......I am at the stage where I can't sleep, can't concentrate, can't make a decision, can't be bothered to eat or wash or dress, don't want to talk to or see anyone, don't have the motivation to do anything at all and am staring into space wondering what the point is. (For the record, I am not feeling like doing anything stupid.)


I have to make a decision about formally accepting a new job offer, the contract for which arrived over Christmas, and there are so many things I don't think are reasonable in it, that I just want to walk away and decline the offer - however, I really need the money. I have made a list of pros and cons and the cons side is massive but I am well aware that I am on 100% negativity at the moment and so wondered if you guys might be able to give me a different thought pattern or perspective to work with?


I have many concerns about the job, but a big one is the hours. It was supposed to be a 9-5, 3 days a week. I thought 21 ish hours a week I would be able to cope with, but the contact is for 9 hour days, not 7 hour days, and there is likely to be a minimum of 3 hours travel on top of that, making them 12 hour days, so 36 hours over 3 days, not exactly part time hours. I just don't think I will physically be able to cope and I am annoyed they didn't state the hours clearly at interview and that, along with other things in the contract and what I learned on work shadowing days, makes me feel they are not the "people company" they claim to be and are going to try and squeeze every last drop out of me.
I am worried about taking the job and then not being able to manage (either physically or mentally) and having to resign and being back in exactly the same position I am in now, only feeling worse for having clocked up another failure. It's a reasonable job and has a reasonable salary and I know that, much as I don't want to do anything at the moment, it surely would be a good thing for me to return to work and have to get up and go see people and do things, force myself to interact with the world and be busy etc. Finding a part time job in my industry in my area is nigh on impossible, it's the only opportunity that has come up in a year, so I am concerned that I will be in financial strife if I don't take it, but that it will cripple me if I do.
And my brain is telling me that I am not thinking rationally at the moment and so I don't know what thoughts to listen to.........try and risk failing or just walk away now?
