Harry's Summer Job

Does anyone think JK will let Harry have a summer job once he turns 
16? It makes sense to me. It will get Harry out of the house, and 
then he can start buying his own clothes (not to mention pay them 
rent).

I have repeatedly thought that Harry would get a job a the local 
corner drugstore (hence, Dursley's don't have to drive him to work), 
called Black's Pharmacy. It would be run by a man called PapaJoe by 
everyone, who, in book 7, obviously turns out to be Sirus's father - 
and one of the other wizards (besides Arabella) who is protecting 
Harry during the summer. PapaJoe is driven by his desire to wipe away 
what his son did to Harry's parents, not knowing Sirus is innocent, 
until Harry reunites them in book 7.

And, of course, Harry mets a muggle girl when she buys gum from him, 
and falls in love. Of course, she ends up being a seer (after another 
seer is killed by V's people, she is given their power). Hmmm... I 
suppose I could write a fanfic about it, but I don't have time with 
the baby. :-)

And no, I don't think the flowerbed incident is Harry doing gardening 
work for a summer job. He'd be fired for "laying" down on the job. 

Hmmm...I suppose one of the reasons Harry wouldn't get a summer job, 
is JK would have to write a lot more regarding the summertime, since 
he would be integrated with more relationships from fellow employees.

Sorry about the huge tangent, about possible storylines, but I just 
had to get it out of my system.

drop by to sign books
