Right into business, eh? Ab chuckled and removed his spectacles, leaning back on his armchair. "Curse breaking. Well, we've had an introduction to that last term, if you remember. Runes is a required NEWT if you wish to pursue curse-breaking after school. Curses vary majorly, runology helps you with those anchored by runic magic. They allow you to break them, pretty much the way we learnt only much more complicated and--" He thought for a good word. "--flexible. You need to have a good grasp on the runes and what they dictate in every circumstance possible to be able to use them against the curse."

Pause.

"Are you thinking about getting into Gringotts, Mr. Barrington?" Botros smiled at the kid boy.
Yeah, right to business. Nigel was not one that was great at small talk. He either said something stupid or made it incredibly awkward. Why not just get to the point and they can be on their separate ways faster. He was such a Claw.

Nigel nodded at the the first question. Yeah, he remembered that lesson and that was one of his goals this term to get a NEWT in Ancient Runes. Among other classes. Now this information was new and extreme useful. Nigel nodded also listening intently. That sounded like a tiny bit of a challenge for some future library work. Complicated and flexible. Definitely going to study that. If it interested Nigel. He would put in the work plus extra. "Is the material to study this in the library?"

Very interesting.

Ah, that question. "Yeah. I interned there a couple years ago and got interested in it. Not because it is dangerous. But because of the skill needed."

Though the threat that if your skill were not sharp, you could die. Is appealing also.
