The topic quickly turned nullinvoid at the boy's honest curiosity. Sabel couldn't help but laugh, dropping his heels from the edge of the fireplace and sitting forward. "Ask away. I don't mind in the least." Too bad he didn't have an example though. A quick cast around the seating area confirmed that he was lacking the prop he needed. Pity.

With a sigh, he turned back to Hyland, spreading his hands in a gesture as if he could craft from air the object he needed. "You know a bottle, right? Glass or otherwise. Coca Cola or Sprite or whatever you kids are drinking these days." Surely he did. "A bottleneck refers to the effect that a literal bottle neck has on anything that passes through it. How it narrows and tapers? That's what it is. So, in reference to strategy, it refers to filing enemies through a narrow point so that you don't get their whole numbers gushing out at once. Makes them easier to deal with, in a confined space and limited numbers."

Did it make sense? Was he going to have to draw a picture? Hold a lesson?

Hopefully. If he didn't get this, then he surely wouldn't get what he meant about the heart and the head. That, he would leave for another day and another time. Didn't want to overload to kid with too many thoughts.

Because apparently simple things were best here. Sabel nearly well rolled his eyes, sitting back in his chair with a huff. Of course he'd want the easy way. Really, who didn't want such a thing? Habit often forced him down the hard road, but that was just a consequence of his subconscious. Tricky thing that it was.

Like hair. Which, he would have laughed at had the kid not just asked him that question. Instead, Hyland got a disbelieving stare. Really? Had he not just said he was no good with hair? That included all manners, from sweat saturation to color changes. "No clue."

Honestly, no clue. He had no experience in discerning such things. Hair was hair and looked as hair did. To the Defense Professor, it was as simple as that. Apparently as simple as discerning which of the meanings 'flower boy' held. Sabel nearly laughed at the confident claim, and dare he say proud claim, that Hyland accepted the options with.

He did laugh when the boy went to smell himself. "For Merlin's sake, just call it cologne."

Glad that the Professor hadn’t been mad that he had refused his offer on the science book, Yoongi relaxed in his wooden chair and threw another package of magic fire in the fire. As he watched it turn bright pink, the Gryffindor turned away from the fire and looked at the Professor with a curious expression on his face as he started to explain what a bottleneck was. “WAIT!” He shouted, louder than he had intended and pushed his hands in his robe pocket. He searched for a moment, obviously he had used the Undetectable Extension Charm on them. Finding what he needed, the Gryffindor pulled out a notebook and the pink flamingo quill he had bought in Diagon Alley.

Smiling, he placed the notebook on his lap. “It’s good to write things down right? Maybe I need it someday, maybe I’ll be an Auror one day? Not that I want to be one...i mean” he frowned and pointed to his face. “See this face? it would be a shame if it gets scarred up”uhuh. “But my sister always said she never wanted to work at Gringrotts cause of the goblins but guess who is a curse breaker at what place now?” oh right…getting side tracked, oops. “So, you never know right?” he would be an awful Auror though LOL Nah, he just stuck with becoming a model/wand maker.

He wrote down the strategy of the bottleneck , even drew a little coca cola bottle next to it as reference. “So, if you managed to get a group in a bottleneck it would be like seeing them as bowling pins and pushing one over would result in the rest of them falling as well?” he asked and then added “You know a bowling pin , right?” with a grin as he used the same question when he had asked him if he knew what a bottle was. Merlin’s beard he wasn’t dumb. “This is a lot easier than that cryptic ‘head in your heart’ thing” wait , was that right? “Oh! Also , can I ask why you stopped being an Auror?” he asked casually as if he was talking about the weather, jumping to the next question. He had so many, not sorry! “Cause a teaching job would be pretty boring right? Does it have something to do with what the Prophet wrote and you want to prove them wrong ? yes, he had been following that story but one thing he had learned from his parents was to take newspapers with a grain of salt.

No clue?! Yoongi shook his head and sighed. “No offence Sir, but you might be brilliant at strategies, you’re horrible at the simpler things. The correct answer would have been “Yes, it would look perfect , go buy the dye now” and then I would have asked you for money cause I have none”he laughed. That wasn’t so hard right? He still needed to learn a lot about teenagers. ……Or was only he like that? Hmm…something to think about…

Just call it cologne?! “No” he said defiantly, crossing his arms over each other and looked the other way. “And the correct term is spray” he said as he rummaged in his pocket again and got out the bottle and held it up, “see?”
