Minerva smiled as she talked about Italy, she recommended to visit. “I’ll keep that in mind. I would like to do some traveling, but probably after Uni.” She wasn’t sure on how much she was going to be able to afford until the career and stuff. She wasn’t feeling comfortable asking her grandparents for much more. “I’ve been to Germany the last few summers. I love it there.” She knew Ethan lived there, right? She probably told her that before, well she at least assumed she did.

Watching as her hand went for a different picture than the one Min questions she listened. “Oh you all resemble each other. Are you close?” She would love to be close with siblings, but.. changing her thoughts she looked again at the picture. Pao’s mom, well she could see a resemblance. “What does she do in the ministry if you don’t mind me asking? Ravenclaws, Minerva nodded, “So were you the first none Ravenclaw?” That probably was hard if she was, but there was nothing to be sad about being a puff. Her eyes floated back to the other picture. Now if there is one thing everyone knew about Minerva, but she would never admit, she was nosy and she didn’t let things slide. “So is this one the friend you went to visit?” and blunt, but Hadley’s facial expression and blushing had all the right arrows to saying it was the person that she visited and Min just needed to know.

She was glad Hadley had fun at the festival. She had fun herself. The amazing rides moving around and the games. “It was my first magical festival actually. So it was a great time.” Oh the funding event, yeah she should have went there, but they ran out of time. “Did you go on any rides? Ethan and I went on the magical carousel, it was so much fun.” The seventeen year old felt like a five year old talking with so much excitement. Did she have a good time? Did she have a good time? Oh course she did. “It was a great time actually. Ethan and I went on plenty of rides, and the food was good, plus he won me a cute teddy bear I got to bring with me this term.” She enjoyed having that bear with her to remind her of the fun that went on over summer.

So Minerva was set on University then? Yes, she recalled that possibility, but good to know her mind hasn't changed. Uni for healing? Maybe. "Germany. I admit, while I've been there, I haven't spent enormous amounts of study there." Not much going on there for an Arithmancer, you see. "But I like Italy more. You know, many famous artists came from there." And of course there was Rome - no city in the world was as powerful and lovely as Rome, in Josephina's mind anyway.

They resembled each other? Fina's cheeks flushed again. "I suppose we're pretty close... closer now than when we were younger, for sure. I'm only four years younger than Le. And Alex is only a year younger than me." So yes, they were pretty close. "I'm not really sure what exactly she does in the Ministry... she refused to tell me anymore than 'space-related' tasks. She's an unspeakable, you see." She shook her head. Crazy Ministry employees. Hmm? Oh, it seemed there was at least one curious (and persistent) badger in the room. "Yes. Yes. He is the friend." Friend, yup. Best friend, perhaps, even.

Did they go on any rides? "Er.. no... we didn't go on any rides. We mostly just walked around and talked. Caught up, you see." But it was nice all the same, to get out and about. Enjoy the warm Summer air.

"Noo, I insist." Wade beaming was not taking no for an answer on his giving. His face looked very expected after she took it. He hoped she liked it. He practically beamed after seeing her reaction. "You're welcome Professor, they're really comfy and great during the winters." He nodded, him and the rest of his friends that he gave could testify as well. Heh.

Now it was about the careers. "I've thought a lot about playing Professional Quidditch after graduation." Wade said to start off, "After last term, and then my summer interning at the Quidditch shop." His brows furrowed slightly as he tried to put these words together to sound proper. "Well, I still haven't ruled out Wizarding University, though. I had been looking into deeper studying with hippogriffs.. Is it possible to do both? Like attend there while playing?"

It wasn't like she was REALLY going to refuse the gift. He had made it just for her and as unnecessary as it was, still, it was thoughtful and appreciative. "Of course," she smiled again, appreciatively. "I'll keep that in mind."

Now. About careers. "Professional Quidditch is highly selective though. Of course you've got the talent, from what I can tell, but I'm no quidditch expert. But from what I know, it's a full-time commitment to play professionally, once recruited that is. It's more full-time than simply playing on your house team here at Hogwarts." So about his question now. Doing both. She didn't know. "I suppose it's possible.... but you may want to only attend University on a part-time basis as you may find yourself more overwhelmed playing professionally. Unless of course you only made the reserve team for a professional team." She really didn't know though, the ins and outs of how professional quidditch worked. "If you're serious about Professional Quidditch though, you'll probably want to speak with Professor Tyner more about the requirements."

He kept nodding, and then stopped and grinned. "Oh, I know what it is I want to do. I want to be a professional Quidditch player when I leave school. But yeah, actually, I was thinking about after that, or in case that doesn't happen. Keeping my options open, you know?" ALSO Tobias so far had no idea what he liked, other than Quidditch. Well... Ancient Runes and Astronomy were pretty awesome, but what could he DO with those?

Anyway, attention was wandering, so Tobias quickly snapped back to the moment.

"Books would be amazing, professor. I had been hoping that I'd be able to visit the library a lot this year, and get books from there, but it kinda costs a lot to keep going in there." The odd visit was fine, but not every day, like he'd been planning, or to keep going back and renewing books or whatever. "As well as books, I guess... is it okay to just kinda check in with you every now and then. Just, I dunno, chat about stuff. Like if distractions were to happen." Tobias was being vague, and he knew it, but it seemed important to ensure that there was indeed a safety net of sorts both here and at home.

Aw......... Tobias Tempus was just SO precious. Seriously.

Another future Professional Quidditch player? Maybe? Well then there was going to be lots of competition. Unless of course Wade only played for like 3 or 4 years and then Tobias could take his spot. Perhaps a large age span like that was a good thing then; made for less competition.... even though it was still competitive and you still had be on top of your game. No pun intended. "So what else besides quidditch interests you?" Because quidditch was contingent on being recruited.

"Well you still might have to visit the library, as my book collection are mostly limited to Arithmancy, Charms, and Muggle Fiction topics. But perhaps if you budgeted the first Sunday of every month to the library, this way you won't break the bank, but you'll still get in some time in the library towards unique titles that us Professors don't have in our own personal collections." You, just a suggestion. That was when Fina just remembered; she picked some up over the Summer and perhaps Toby would be one to find use for one of these. Rummaging through her top desk drawer, she pulled it out and held it out for him. "Here; You might find this useful in budgeting your time. It's a homework planner." Very popular among the muggle schools, but wizarding children found them useful too.
