He liked to think of himself as an ideas man, that he was capable of thinking on his feet and problem solving and being innovative... so if it showed in some small way with his duelling, then he was happy.

Zeke was still holding out for a response on Runes though, to be honest, he kind of had his heart set on it now. The response was positive. Zeke grinned, allowing himself to exhale the breath he had been holding onto. Why were talks of OWLs so stressful? Stress wasn't something he was accustomed to, and it was weird. Awful. But then, to his delight, good turned to better.

FLAMSTEED'S SISTER WAS A CURSE BREAKER?!

.....

He'd won the lottery. Jackpot. Access. This was all about access.

And on top of that, Botros could arrange opportunities for him too? Well that was news to his ears.

"Really? That... that would be appreciated, I mean, it'd be great.. valuable. Really. Thanks." All those good things, that's what it was. But he did have questions, so many questions. Deciding it would probably be inappropriate to demand contact with his sister NOW, and figuring he ought to wait before peppering the Headmaster with questions and demand, Zeke opted to explore the topic of careers and obtaining education a little further. He had his own contacts after all.

"One thing I'm not really sure of, Professor... is where do I go after I finish here? I mean, I know some jobs take us into entry level positions and we train as we go, like with Obliviators, so is this the same for Curse Breakers? Or is there a Uni course for excavation and things that we need to do before we can get employed?" All that Ancient History stuff, which he hopes was nothing like History of Magic stuff, because he might struggle.

Now he just had to convince his sister. He would rather take on an acromantula, to be honest. Still, he opened the boy's file and made a note to contact Daphne and ask. No doubt she would be doing something this summer that she could use some assistance on, right? Not that she ever shared what it was she ever did, save for explain some new scar that had appeared somewhere on her forearm.

"Well, I am not an expert on this particular field, but furthering your education at university is always a good place to start," he nodded. "For your particular field, I believe the Cairo campus would be the one best suited for training aspiring curse breakers, although each one of the Wizarding University campuses would be able to provide you with the background necessary. If it is anything like my experience, internships and apprenticeships would be things readily available to university studies to apply to." Scratching his head, the astronomer stared at a random spot on the table while he tried to recall what it was that Daphne had studied. He honestly had paid little attention to what his sisters had been doing academically, being far more interested in furthering his own career.

Looked like that was coming back to bite in him the rear, yeah?

"When I speak my sister next, I can ask her to share her story with you," he nodded.

Had she even attended university? Something told him that she had only attended a year before just going off and doing her own thing. Very unconventional, Daphne was.
