Paul thought on the question poised to him..."I think...if you struggle with it? Probably so...but..it's too late now, isn't it?" he sighed a little.
"A lot of students get by like that...it's not the right way but..." he shrugged. "Sometimes you have to do what you have to do... to get by." It was unfortunate. "I advocate learning theories...and not just memorizing..." he said wisely.
Paul nodded...he hoped the boy would take his words to heart. It was important, he thought, to please yourself...and not worry about others. "I did graduate from here, yes. I was a Ravenclaw, though..." he smiiiiiiled fondly at the memories.
Will he talk to Professor Flamsteed to ask more about Astronomy? Maybe not. Ethan just wants it to be over and done with. As long as he pass his NEWT on that one, then he can say goodbye to it forever. Sure, the planets and stars are fascinating to look at, but the how’s and why’s of the subject was just beyond his understanding. What was more interesting though, was the fact that Professor Myers was a Ravenclaw and that he had a hard time with Astronomy. There he thought that the subject was perfect for the Eagle House. He guessed that that wasn’t the case entirely. Maybe Astronomy was just meant for certain people…and he’s definitely not one of them.
Was it too late? Yes, definitely.
“But Herbology sounds promising to me. I mean, I find the subject hard to understand, but I just know there’s hope for me. My former professors were very helpful, knowing that I was struggling.” And he was sure that Myers won’t be any different.
“So, why not give it one last shot. I am, after all, determined to pass all 12 subjects again.” Ahem. His Slytherin is showing, eh?
“And I suppose we’ll be going beyond theories with your classes, right?” Ethan enjoyed the practical portion of his past Herbology lessons. The activities made the lesson more interesting.
“I mean, activities help me retain some of the important information.” And he guessed that he’s not the only one who benefits from it.
A Ravenclaw, huh? It was kind of, hard to believe it because Professor Myers seem to be too kind to be a Ravenclaw. Apparently, the sorting hat saw something in him that made him a perfect fit to belong with the Eagles.
“And I suppose you had a grand time being one, Professor.” Ethan matched the man’s smile with his very own.
“I am going to miss Hogwarts after this term though.” He added, as the smile on his face started to fade.
