The astronomer rubbed his temples firmly with his fingers for several moments, trying to remind himself that conversations such as this called for some sort of bedside manner and not hard facts.
"The only thing that is un-Gryffindor about anything you have done recently, Miss Valentine, are your words right now. It seems to me that you are saying that you are giving up, and if that is the case then you are right. Because Gryffindors do not give up. They push through and don't see failure as an option, but a challenge." Which she then seemed to counter with her next words. Still something that needed said regardless. Rawr.
"I'm sure you will and then some," he nodded. He had no doubt about that. There were other Gryffindors he was far more concerned about with costing Gryffindor points. He paused for another moment and took another loooooooooong breath. "Life is tough, Miss Valentine, I suggest you wear a helmet and don't allow yourself to get so worked up over the small things."
Sweeeeeeeeeet solstice.
Angel shuffled on her feet uncomfortable, she had no idea what to say she just listened to Professor Flamsteed in silence, he was actually right it did seem like she was giving up. "No Professor I aren't giving up." Angel said truthfully. "
Angel looked down at the floor and then back up at the Professor. "Thanks for that Professor I needed it." Seriously it was important that she didn't let everything get her down so much. "I will remember that." Angel said truthfully.
Angel then looked at the Professor and smiled, she couldn't believe he had put some great words of wisdom in her and she would remember them. "Thanks for everything sir, your going to make an amazing head of house." Angel thought he would but she had taken up enough of his time so she just smiled and waited to be excused.
