"I know it's a bit of a long shot, but my eventual goal has always been to make a difference-- which sounds completely cliche, I know. I guess if it were up to me, right now the Economic and Social Council seems most appealing." His smile had gotten a little grimmer as he spoke, since he found the possibility of his wish being granted very remote.
Nodding as Harland spoke, Gavin folded his hands and leaned back in his chair thinking on what he was saying and nodding. "Looking over your initial application, and what you have done in level 5, I see you've had quite a variety, including being in the trading area. You also received an E in arithmancy for your NEWT." So he'd been thinking it'd be a toss between the economic and social council or back to the trading area. But he'd hate to see him backtrack.

"I'd hate to see you backtrack to magical trading personnel. I think your goal is an excellent one to aim for. And we need a fresh new face in the council." Nodding, he looked back at Harland, "You got the position there if you'd like it. I think you'd do very well."
