Maybe it is too soon to think about it, but what is the point in postponing it if I am sure NOW. ‘I would like to become a healer’, the girl finally sad, expecting the Professor either to laugh or to be mind-blown.

Well, perhaps I should have turned to the healer for help, Gwen thought. But Vindictus was still her head of house… Hmm.. ‘But I don’t actually know what is necessary to be done in order to become a healer. This is why I came to talk to you’, the Ravenclaw said, waiting for a reaction.

"And I'm thrilled that you came to me for career advice," replied Vindictus and he opened one of his desk drawers. He reached inside the file marked 'careers' and pulled out a brochure. "This should be a bit of light reading for you, but the basic core classes for those pursuing a career in healing are pretty basic - potions, herbology, charms, and transfiguration. If this pamphlet doesn't answer all of your questions, you might want to arrange a meeting with our school healer."

He handed the pamphlet to Gwen. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Hullo, Professor. I hope you're doing well." He looked at the massive stack of parchment on the desk. "Er, actually I can see you're rather busy, so I'll make this quick." Super quick, so as not to be yelled at.

"I was just wondering if you had any advice or tips for me. I've never been in charge of anything, much less been a Quidditch Captain. I don't have any idea how to choose my team or hold practices." Or do anything related to Captaincy. "But if you don't have time, I can come back later..." Or not at all.

"You're underestimating your abilities, Keefer. Every captain tends to copy what captains before them did. Some captains hold tryouts for each position while others try to run a game," Vindictus explained. "Sometimes, you go with your gut instinct. The same goes for selecting your team - you're going to be playing with them so make sure you pick athletes that you trust in the air. Make sure the Beaters can hit the Bludger and not throw their bats at you, that the Chasers can throw the Quaffle with accuracy while flying at a high rate of speed, and the Seeker should be quick and agile and able to catch a tiny object. Oh, and make sure the Keeper isn't scared of having objects thrown at them. The absolute worst is to have a Keeper who's scared on game day and keeps on falling off their broom each time the Quaffle is headed directly at them. "
