Maybe he wasn't the best person to talk to about this, but that was his advice.
He nodded at Julien's sentiments as the continued down the corridor. "They certainly left a gaping hole, didn't they?" Ansley didn't subscribe to anything mainstream, preferring some of the more grassroots publications, but he knew many people had relied on the Daily Prophet to get their news along with other services, such as finding flats to rent. "Oh, it's no imposition, really. And yes, it's just an offer for if things don't work out or if you don't find anything in the mean time. At least you will have a friend to stay with for a little while."
"Nothing too significant," he said in response to his summer plans. "I'll probably work on some of my own artwork." He hesitated a moment. "There's also a University art teaching position I have my eye on. I have an interview scheduled for summer."
"I've thought of many things, but getting her to sit down and talk seems to be the difficult part right now. Not that I blame her. It was all my fault and I should deal with the consequences now. " He made his bed and now he was going to lie in it. He now just needed to figure out what roof that would be under.

"A new job? You are thinking about leaving?" With all the stress that he had been dealing with this term he would be lying if he said he hadn't thought about it himself.
