It was obvious that he was pleased with her wanting to become a Potioneer. But then of course it would seeing as this WAS his field. Enthusiastically Lux nodded, temporarily forgetting about the Chocolate Frog she still had to unwrap. "Oh, yes! I love brewing potions. I want to do it for a living and invent potions when I know how to." Obviously she would learn those skills over time and she was very excited to. "I am thinking of opening a shop where I can sell potions I make, but that isn't set in stone yet. I might go down the path of inventing if I have a knack for it."

Curiously she listened as Professor Culloden gave a lot of really helpful and thorough advice. Three different kinds of Potioneers... Huh. That had never occurred to her before, though she supposed that it made sense. He definitely knew what he was talking about! The first one sounded like the best kind to her. The last was second best, and the middle was least appealing though she could definitely see the necessity of it. "I definitely want to strive for the first kind. I am so excited to create things!" Aaaah, she already had some potions in mind for this. Hehe.

A bunch of O and E scores were mentioned for O.W.L.s... No surprise there. It would have been more shocking if she didn't need high scores in multiple subjects and the Herbology and CoMC thing definitely made sense. She wasn't as sure about DADA though. "Why is it a good idea to have an E in Defence Against the Dark Arts?" she asked curiously. The subject wasn't as worrisome to her as Transfiguration, she just wasn't sure what it had to do with potions and it would be nice for him to explain it to her. "So it's mandatory I get Os in the first three but if I don't get the E marks it's possible to get the marks later on?" It sounded as if that was what he was telling her, but clarification would be nice. Definitely best for her to get the Es, but still... it was a little comforting to know that she could at least take Transfiguration later on if worst came to worst.

The N.E.W.T. score thing was good to know as well, though Lux was't sure that she could manage Os on everything. The effort would kill her! Nodding, she took in everything he was saying and figured that she could strive for Os in the first three and Es in the second three. The bit about not limiting herself to the UK and US got a nod as well. She had never given that thought much consideration, but it was the workshop that really had her attention now.

"Oh, I will so be there! I already have a potion in mind!"Yeah, she had only heard about it now but that didn't mean an idea hadn't just popped into her head because it DID. Good thing that she had some potions in mind for creation already. hehe. "The private lessons sound great!" She was so excited already.
