SPOILER!!: Flamsteed
He had to admit that he was curious as to why Miss Wheatborn felt like she HAD to be perfect at everything. Surely it wasn't just to please herself, was it? It made him want to ask more questions - personal ones perhaps - but it was not his place as her educator to do so. Such questions and conversations should be saved for professors she felt more comfortable around or her Head of House. "You find a new path," he smirked thoughtfully. "Learn to adapt." Simple as that.

So...it had been that word, disappointment, that had caused the tears. "I was surprised with your results considering how well you performed in my lessons last term, but if you insist...." he said as he leaned back a bit to pull yet another folder out from his shelf and flipped through it. "You are always welcome to borrow any of my astronomy magazines I have there outside my office, but if you are looking for more dense reading besides your textbook....here is a list of books suitable for your age," he said as he handed over the piece of parchment which included one of his personal favorites, A Universe from Nothing. "As for a more practical approach, I am more than willing to set out some time during the week to do some stargazing or doing some simple activities."

Not to mention that the Observatory was always available for her use


Minerva looked at him curiously, learn to adapt. She should just adapt to failing, that couldn't be what he meant. She just wasn't completely sure what he meant by that. "But what if you didn't want to change path?" She knew she had gotten an A on her charms OWLs and she knew she needed better for her path of becoming a healer, but she didn't want to just change her path, there had to be a way to stay on that path, right?

Taking another bite of her ice cream she listened to his advice and took the parchment looking it over, "Thank you professor, can I find these at the library?" She figured they would be at the library, but wanted to make sure. Oh he would do that for her, well that was nice, "Like I said I'm willing to do what I need to, so if you think that it would help and you have the time. I don't want to take extra time away from you." She hated being a bother, So she wanted to make complete sure.

She knew why she was there, but something was still in her mind from a quote he had done.. "So are you a basketball fan professor?"
