"But if you don't want to answer, that is alright too." See, not meaning to be rude. ~~Contrary to popular belief.~~

His question elicited a soft laugh from the blonde next. "Merlin, no. My uncle is the previous Defence Professor. He has always helped me. Tutoring and pushing me. Hirsch and I worked together on several spells also. I have self taught some things, but not all. Not by a long shot. We're currently working on nonverbal magic. We think I could be using it before term start next year. " She didn't mind HELP, but she didn't like classroom settings either. She preferred one on one teaching... which was why she worked with tutors even while she was away from Hogwarts.

Ah. "Gotcha. Egyptian magic is not my cup of tea. Fascinating, don't get me wrong, but I don't think I've ever considered practicing any of it. I like the idea of amulets and stuff for protection, though. Kind of like Rune magic... but not really, " She said with a grin. She had stumbled across some stuff about Ancient Egypt when she was studying some information about Cairo WU. "If I may ask, what brought you to that type of magic? " It was all curiosity, the reason she asked. Nothing more.

"OH! I love Potions. My cousin is a Potioneer! But I am planning to study Wizarding languages and maybe foreign policies... or linguistics. Mermish and Gobbledygook can't be the only other languages, you know. " Associated with the Wizarding World anyway. "That's brilliant, though, Declan. You'll be brilliant at it. " She just had a FEELING!

"I see," Declan remarked simply. It wasn't really a topic he wanted to expand on but he didn't want to be impolite so he nodded as respectfully as he could as they walked down the corridor? Where were the stairs again? Declan turned right.

"Ahhh, I see!" his eyebrows rose with the realization. "That explains it then. Well, good luck with that. I understand nonverbal magic is something that's more difficult to execute."

Declan nodded in understanding and shrugged quickly after. Most everyone reacted the same way to Egyptian magic. He didn't think most really understood what he got from it that he didn't get from other subjects. "Well, I wanted to understand where magic really came from. I came across Egyptian magic in my effort to trace our origins." It all started in Africa. At least that was his understanding. "It's all the same spark. It's just executed a little differently." Spells were more specific, written down and formulaic. There was a certain science to it.

The stairs were before them and he inspected them quietly, thankful that no portal had yet popped up on their way. Declan chuckled at the girl's enthusiasm. It seemed there were a lot of things she wanted to do. "That's cool. I think you'll be good at it. Lots of conversations to be had." She definitely had the gift of gab. It would be a good career to put her talent to use. "Thank you," he said humbly. He wasn't as confident but he appreciated the encouragement.
