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?"

Perhaps gifted was too broad of a term? Seemed to have invoked the wrong sort of reaction from the Gryffindor. Still, Airey nodded. "Or should I say a keen eye for strategy?" he qualified. "It is not, after all, simply about blasting one spell after the other. Dueling requires a lot of analytical thinking and instincts. Which, from my observations, you display quite nicely."

AHA! Well, that made a lot of sense. Not that the astronomer was anywhere near an expert on the profession and only knew what little details Daphne was willing to share. Which, needless to say, was not much. The man knew more about the proper care of felines than he did about curse breaking.

"If you have already spoken with the Headmaster about this, then I see no reason why you should not be approved for Owl level Ancient Runes," he chuckled. While not O level work until now, the boy had passing marks and then some, so if he had to the Head of House would vouch on the boy's behalf. But he sincerely doubted it would come to that. "I have a sister is a Curse Breaker, not for Gringotts however. She may be willing to speak with you about it as well should you ever find the need. Perhaps give you some hands on experience when you are old enough."

He could probably convince her of that. Not stop over for the Christmas holidays in return for the favor. She would probably fancy that option.

Although an internship at Gringotts would be more by the books. Really ought to have suggested that first.

"Along with other opportunities I am sure the Headmaster could arrange for you."

Old Man River was the Runes Man in the castle, naturally.
