"You should probably run along and wrap up whatever you have left before the term ends. I would hate for you to lose that chance."
Jake thought about that for a moment. There was a time where he'd have recoiled from that idea but now... maybe. Maybe.
"We'll see. I haven't decided on a university course yet... I'll look into it." And he meant it too: the future was not something he'd really planned on.
Oh... OH. That was true. EEP. Jake smiled at the Headmaster again and nodded. "Right you are," he nodded, heading towards the door. He reached it, stopped, and looked over his shoulder. "Thank you," Jake repeated once more.
Then he left.
