His hand reached out and grabbed one of the pamphlets and flipped it open. "I guess my interest in it cooms from me own experience. It doosn't coom from m'moohm or m'dad. Although, m'dad has money. He owns his own shipping and delivery company. That's how he met me moohm. She arranges portkeys with the Ministries for a travel agency. I think I like wehrkin' with money because of what I've seen it do. It's quite liberating. Gives people options, yer know. Takes them away too if yer haven't got any." And he knew about have and have not for he lived both lives simultaneously. Having with his ebullient, but careless father and not with his ethical and stubborn mother. "It's a sort of magic on it's own, isn't it?"
"Good looks..." Leo echoed thoughtfully. "I doubt very much that they will get you places Cutty, unless of course you were aiming for a job in the fashion industry." Which he wasn't. They were discussing a career in finance nothing else. Nodding Leo said "Aptness in Gobbledygook, Arithmancy and our magical history will earn you merits but you'll need to study at university or at least have some job experience from somewhere to be eligible for any type of start job in the finance sector. Do you have any job experience?" Using his wand Leo conjured up two glasses of fresh lemonade.

Sipping on the cold and delicious substance he paused to ask "Do you want to go in your father's footsteps and take over the running of the shipping company in the future?" It was a reasonable question. Leo had to admit to himself that Cutty seemed to know a fair bit of money and its power. Money had the power to take you places in both directions which was why you had to be sensible with it. "It certainly does. So be wary and invest the money you have wisely."

If she was right, the door to Mr. Kitridge's office should be around here somewhere. Feeling the door, Penelope knocked on the door. Not looking up from her book Penelope waited to see if Mr. Kitridge was in his office.
Leo had retreated back to his office to get some paperwork filed among other things. He had just poured himself a cup, thinking about Cassie and the ever present and irritating cobwebs he heard a distinct knock on the door. Taking a long coffee sip he made no haste to rise and answer his door. When he eventually unlocked and opened his door he found one of his own eaglet's on his doorstep. Face turning into a beam he greeted cheerily "Hello, Penelope! It's nice to see you. Would you care to come inside?" Leo noted that she was carrying a book but he let her bring it up if she wanted to not that he wasn't very curious.
