I've never put much faith in divination. The subject's about as ridiculous as the professor who teaches it and honestly, why put our futures in the hands of prophecies or destinies? You do something and that's what decides things and if you want to change it, then you can.

If sitting on your arse and twirling your wand means things go to hell

[There's a glimpse of trees before Ginny rights the camera, blinking at the lens. Then she smiles.]

Hullo, Xander. It's been a bit, yeah. Settled on a job yet?

Speak of the devil, and the devil he will...be -- currently doing? [ He laughs. ] Wow that sounded wrong. I'm an art installer at the Palace. And I do odd fixing/building jobs. So, yeah, yeah I have.

Currently, I'm a bit homeless.

[Though she laughs along with him, the sound trails away with his next admission and she shoots him a puzzled look.]

How in Merlin's name can you be homeless? What did you do?

Sometimes good things can happen here. And sometimes it's hard to ignore the awful stuff, but we've got to manage somehow or we'd go mad. Maybe it's a good thing those fortunes were so vague.

Possibly hearth. Fire pit....hearth. Not a huge stretch.

That's some really rotten luck, Xander.
