SPOILER!!: The Admiral!

His gaze shifted between Professor Flamsteed's nodding to the parchment he was scribbling on. WHAT was he scribbling exactly??? Zeke scratched the back of his hand absentmindedly as he ticked off the subjects as Flamsteed spoke them. It pleased him, knowing he wouldn't be denied taking them, but... there was one that wasn't mentioned. "Runes? Will I be able to take Ancient Runes?" He was asking, because he needed it, and therefore NEEDED clarification. If he needed another elective, he would also consider CoMC, though he really didn't think he'd need it.

In line with that, were his long term goals, or at least... the goals he had set in recent times. It was hard, decided what path to take in life. He wasn't interested in ambling down one only to realise years later that he'd made the wrong decision, or that he sold himself short, or that he aimed too high and wasn't able to meet the mark. It was stressful. He opened his mouth to speak after a moment of framing his thoughts, only Professor Flamsteed's statement caught him off-guard.

Gifted dueler.

"Gifted?" he questioned instinctively. He thought that was a stretch, it was hardly a gift if he had worked hard for it. Right? As it was though, he HAD considered a career with such skills, but he had his uncertainties.

"Well, I've been thinking of a career as a Curse Breaker, and I went and spoke with Headmaster Botros about it too, to get a sense of what that might be like... with Runes..." he started, hoping this would show he was taking the process seriously enough, "aside from that I'm not really sure. I like charms, so my other thought was to be an Obliviator?"

At least not for now. And with improvements all around, well, things were definitely looking good for him. "Well, I can't see any reason why your entry to OWL level Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Potions, Arithmancy, Transfiguration, or Herbology would be denied...and with Arithmancy taking up one of your elective classes you'll need one more to round out your course load," he mused while making more scribbles. "But that will all come down to what you see as being your long term goals. What do you see those as?" And he knew it was a big question to ask of someone so young, but even an inkling was worth looking into. "You are quite the gifted dueler," he continued, which came as no surprise to the man really. "Have you considered a career where you put those to skills to good use?" Like becoming an Auror, perhaps? Although perhaps working under his mother was not ideal. He could hardly blame the boy for not wanting that. His gaze shifted between Professor Flamsteed's nodding to the parchment he was scribbling on. WHAT was he scribbling exactly???
