Text Cut: Tobias

Goodness, the lad had grown quite a bit over the summer, hadn't he? His body was beginning to mature so that his build looked more and more like that of a Quidditch player. He must have been training over the summer. Tiara nodded in approval, though she knew the boy would not know why. But any time a student put in work outside of what was expected in order to pursue success she was proud: Quidditch player or not.

She chuckled internally to see that he was still fidgety. The teenage years were so... Indescribable. That was the only word for it. "You're welcome," she said with a small smile. She raised her hand to indicate that he should proceed.

As was her style, she let him fully explain himself before interjecting any thoughts. "I am glad you seem to have found a goal to pursue in life, Tobias." He had been undecided when they last had this conversation, if she recalled correctly. "As you may have noticed, many of your peers have yet to do so. However, I think it was also wise of you to have realized that your family should always come first." Perhaps not every teenaged boy was a lost cause?

"But you didn't come here to listen to me talk about that," she said, waving her hand dismissively. "I think if you're serious about this, then the U-17 league is a must-do this summer. Is there a particular coach you were hoping to work with? I could speak to them for you if that is something you decided to pursue." Though most of her contacts were with the European League, her brief stint as a substitute official this summer had garnered her several more acquaintances within Britain.

"The other thing is that you need to focus in on a position. It is still very worthwhile to have knowledge and skills in the other positions, as this will help your overall strategy and understanding of the game when interacting with them." Tiara Tyner valued game smarts just as much as physical prowess, if not more. "However, rare is the player who can play more than one position at the professional level. If you wish to be signed out of Hogwarts, then you will want to focus your attention on a particular position by.. probably fifth year."

Feet tapping, fingers drumming, the works. "Thanks Professor!" he said cheerfully, because he was always grateful when the professors here could spare some time to talk to him. "Well, basically... Quidditch." Of course. What else did Toby ever talk about? "I'm more determined than ever to play professionally in the future, so I was wondering if you think it's worth going for, now you've seen me play?" He paused there, as if considered what to say next. But it seemed like he quickly decided to go ahead because he soon went on. "I was thinking of trying out for the England Under 17 team over the summer but..." Tobias waved a hand vaguely in the air in front of him. "There was some family stuff, and that came first. So I was thinking maybe next summer, so I have loads of time to prepare for it. Even if I don't get on the house team this year, I could still practice flying in my spare time." Tobias was even more enthusiastic about Quidditch this year than ever. When he spoke about the sport, his face positively lit up, and he grinned widely. Now, he sat forward slightly on his chair, as if the enthusiastic energy within him might cause the Hufflepuff to take off in flight right now, broom or not broom. "I just wondered what you thought, 'cause you'd know probably better than anyone here about all this stuff," Toby added, nodding as well, 'cause that's what you did when you were serious.
