She listened as he explained what he'd considered for his future plans, as of now. He was only a fifth year, so there was plenty of time. Sort of.

"Research might entail you to pick a few subjects that you would focus on." Hadley commented, tilting her head about the wand making suggestion. "Wand making would be good. It's not direct knowledge of one particular subject that you would need for that. How's your knowledge of plants and their magic associated with them? You might also need to know some magic associated with numbers too..." You know, for how to know what length wand will be good with each core and whatnot. It was then that she realized he asked her a question. "I..." How did she find out? "Honestly, I just enjoyed most of my classes and was a bit of an overachiever. Blame the Ravenclaw history in my family. When I graduated though, I had no idea what I wanted to do, but it was through my traveling the world a bit for several years, working with numbers and teaching people to read their own numbers, that I realized I enjoyed teaching people."

For the first time Treyen Lockhart was aware of just how much Hadley could talk. He had no idea that after all the lessons, she still could talk and talk and talk...oh, wait, that was good for him, because she was answering his question.

AWESOME!

And if she'd had said something that would of ACTUAL help, then he'd be grinning by now. Except, no, she DID say many things that would help him. One of them was, Hufflepuffs never knew what they wanted to do after Hogwarts, correct? Unless Quidditch was on their mind.

So, the research part, he got it, that will require for him to know what he wanted to research about, and he'd known that, but still. Nod. And the wand-making? "Well, I've been reading about wands and trees the summer before my first year at Hogwarts...I'm no expert at it, of course, but I know quite a bit about them," quite a LOT, actually, but he was being modest this time around, and he had to be, because he wasn't as gifted in numbers. In fact, Treyen had managed to forget that wands required certain knowledge in the numbers area. Thanks, Hadley.

Mmmhmm. Hadley also had had relatives in Ravenclaw? That was a neat fact. "So, it's not too bad that I have no clue yet," about what he wanted to do, "Right?" he was mostly looking for someone to say 'Yes, child, it's alright', probably. No one knows.

Treyen leaned back into his chair, the Prefect attitude put aside, "I...," his eyes went from the badge to his hands to Hadley, "See, Professor, I really have no idea, and all my relatives have changed career paths throughout their lives," except uncle Lex, he was always devoted to dragons, yet, he's been the only one to grace Durmstrang with his presence, "I don't think it's a bad thing at all," they just knew so much about many things, "It just isn't for me," he knew he got distracted very easily, and Hadley probably knows that from classes, so, it was important for him to retain focus, career-wise, at least.

And, yes, he was opening up to the Arithmancy Professor, the one he never thought he'll be discussing this with.

"Maybe I'm too young," his eyes eyed the badge for a second, he wasn't just talking about his future now, wasn't he? "Or maybe I'm taking it all too seriously, right?" eyes on Josephina Hadley.
