Nodding as he explained his interest in wands and trees, including seemingly five year interest it, she couldn't help but notice how his eyes appeared to light at the subject. "I wouldn't say that you had no clue," Hadley countered. "But you're correct, it's alright not having a clue what you want to do with the rest of your life." After all, most of your life theoretically happened AFTER Hogwarts, provided you didn't experience a young death. That was a long time to be doing something in the work field.

Listening to Treyen, she wondered why he was telling her all this. Not that she minded, but how did someone who was so adamantly anti-arithmancy one year ago move on to confiding in her about all this career stuff? Surely the boy had another Professor he trusted their subject more? Maybe true... but then maybe... it was simply that most of his other trusted professors had left?!?

Wait, what was he concerned about? Changing career paths throughout his life?

"I think ... that..." She paused, studying him some. "You shouldn't worry too much about if you're going to change careers later in life. If it happens, then it happens. Nothing wrong with taking your career seriously though... BUT I do think you should focus on the presence and maybe the short-term future." You know, like his job NOW.

Wise words.

Hadley was right. He had a couple choices already figured out, it was the decision making that he lacked. Then again, he had to agree with Hadley, he still had time and it was fine if he didn't know.

Actually, he had all the time in the world. Treyen didn't need to know what he was doing until his seventh year came around, and he certainly didn't want to leave Hogwarts without a basic idea of what his future was going to be like. Isn't it odd that the Professors he chose to ask this around were the ones that could deal with 'the future'. Nolan, Bishop and Hadley. Though, clearly, Nolan was just a pleasant coincidence over the summer.

He nodded all the way, and was glad he was having Hadley to himself.

Wisdom, again.

And he was going to complain over the first thing she said, until she spoke of the present time. It all seemed ridiculous, truth be told, to be wasting time from the present to discuss the uncertainty of the future, especially since he knew nothing of the future, but he knew of his PRESENT responsibilities. Instead of wondering what his life would be like in five years, he needed to focus on his life now, correct?

He wanted Nolan. Now. Or Saylen, because he was the most spontaneous around her for some strange reason. It was in one of her lessons that he decided to walk off from it. Clearly, that wouldn't be an easy decision to make if he'd been at Hadley's classroom or someone else's, but Saylen had been different.

Or he'd been different before. It was the badge. Totally. ~~Dominic better not be judging.~~

Either way, five seconds passed before he could speak again. It had seemed longer, really. "It makes sense." And that was all he thought of saying, "I mean, I really never wanted to take Arithmancy in the first place, and we know what the current situation is," meaning, yes, Hadley, he was taking Arithmancy until she would take him out of the classroom, "So, I changed my academics, as any adult would change their direction in life," imagine all that amazing spare time he'll have if Arithmancy wasn't part of his timetable.

"It didn't turn out so bad," that was the best compliment Hadley's class was going to get, accept it.

"But I didn't take it because I thought it part of my future, I took it because it was part of my present," Hadley probably didn't have a point, but he managed to find one. Either that, or he was still talking so Hadley would correct him, as it usually happened. "Focus on the present, then." He smiled, and seemed to be a very relaxed Prefect right about now.
