As Mordred got right down to the nitty gritty details of how Ethan was doing in class, Simon paused for a second. He knew only a little, but he didn't take it into his hands to be Ethan's minder. "I believe he's doing well. He's always one of the first to complete his homework," he replied becoming more serious as homework was a serious topic. Yes, sir. After all, Ethan was one of the top point getters for Slytherin. So was Cutty. Simon was slacking a little. He needed to pick up his game more to catch up to his two mates.

Now they were getting into the juicy stuff! Dragons had been brought up and Simon could've sworn that he saw Mordred smile a little. Smiling was good.. That was a better sign. He nodded. Then a smile broke across Simon's face. A really genuine smile. Really? If he kept it up, he could be working with dragons? "Merlin, that would be brilliant. A dragon hatching specialist? Awesome," he said trying to remain as calm as possible at the idea. He had four more years of schooling to go here at Hogwarts before he could do that. Simon hoped that perhaps one day he too could meet Mordred's cool friend who was a dragon hatching specialist because their job sounded amazing.


Now was he looking at becoming a dragon specialist? He thought so, but then again Cutty's suggestion of looking into the career of a Healer sounded cool too. Simon thought it'd be best to research both for now until he got some actually hands-on experience in the field. "Yes, I am. I've always enjoyed working with magical creatures and I've done a lot of reading up on dragons outside the Hogwarts' curriculum," he explained. Yep, he had done some of the research; however, there was always more to do. "However, I don't know what kind of specialist I'd like to be yet." He had figured that he could decide that later. "How did you decide what speciality you wanted to enter into?"
