With the houselves gone" he glanced towards the new student for a second. She had listened to the Headmistress speech right? But he could see why she wouldn't ...he never did but this caught his attention..because..FOOD! "Who is making all the food this year?" Because they all had to eat right?

He grabbed the mug of hot chocolate and smiled when he saw that the spoon inside wasn't made out of plastic. He was slowly getting tired of cleaning his own plasticware... and it was only the beginning of the term! Maybe he should owl his father and ask him if he wanted to send some REAL cutlery. He took a sip and immediately placed the mug back down on the desk to eat the icecream.

When the professor asked if he was concerned about his post graduation, the Slytherin Prefect suddenly became a little nervous. It wasn't like him but he now stared at his legs as he nodded his head very slowly. "I..i never really thought about it and i'm leaving at the end of the year" even saying it out loud was weird. He looked up with an embarrassed expression on his face as he rubbed his arm unconciously. "My dad says i should work at the Ministry but...but i don't know if i want to. And a friend of mine told me that i could always go to university but seriously...i'm not bright! or academic i still have difficulty performing easy spells and i'm not even sure if i want to work in the magical world and and..."

Breathe Daichi just breeeaaathe...and don't cry!

"What if i never find a job?! what if i stay jobless for the rest of my life?" okay so keeping calm was out of the question. ~~and he was also forgetting he was saying his worries out loud with another student in the room~~

Airey furrowed his brow a bit and looked down at his cup of tea on his desk for a moment before answering the boy. He wasn't exactly fond of house elves, but he didn't dislike them either. He missed them being around and keeping the castle from turning into a disaster zone full of germs. "There is still one left in the castle," he replied with a small frown. The one that was the least capable of getting things done as it turned out. "So for the most part they do, but occasionally, um, a professor or two will step in and give it a whirl." So, sorry Mr. Katharos if you happened to have had something off the Flamsteed Menu.

Airey took a long drink from his tea while the boy spoke. Yes, impending graduation was sort of a terrifying stage in a young witch or wizard's life. If he hadn't had an inspiration Astronomy professor while at Hogwarts, well, there was no telling where his seventeen year old self would be now.

Oh. Wait a second...

He was not sure that he was ready to be THAT person. Sure, he had been that person while working at NASA...but that was with adults. Adults who had more life experience to make the proper decisions. Adults who knew what they wanted. This, well, this was entirely different. Mr. Katharos was still a child with his life ahead of him and now he, Airey Flamsteed, was being asked to guide him.

.........................just picture the boy in a suit and perhaps this would go smoothly.

"First, Mr. Katharos, you should not use words like never when talking about your future. You will only put more pressure on yourself and risk limiting your self to the infinite possibilities that are out there for you," he said calmly as he rested his cup on his desk. "You are at an age where everyone is giving you advice so what I want you to do for me now is tell me what you like. Not what you can and cannot do. What do you like?"
