And now he was actually learning more than he'd thought he would. He honestly never knew the whole teachers can switch subjects thing. But it didn't really make sense to him... "Okay, that's cool and all but what if I do really well in Charms and really badly in potions, so one day I teach charms, but then after a while I want to teach potions......I'd have to do something to make up for my bad score in Potions, right?" He wasn't sure if that made sense, but he really didn't know how else to reword his questions. Either way, these were all hypotheticals. He couldn't imagine ever wanting to teach potions.

It was perfectly understandable that Oliver would feel nervous at times especially when he was talking in front of a large group of people. Rosalyn nodded. "I used to get like that too when I was younger. I think getting used to it by doing presentations really helped. I also find that it was easier after practicing in front of a mirror." Those were only two ways that could help with public speaking; of course there were more but everyone was different and what helped her might not necessarily work for him.

"Good question," she added before giving the matter a moment's thought. "Well, in that example, it would definitely be a good idea to study potioneering at university. I'll also note that studying in university isn't a bad idea even if it's a subject you're good at; I studied History of Magic there just to have extra knowledge. Not mandatory, but not a bad idea. Depends on what you're comfortable with. Definitely would recommend it when it comes to a subject that you don't feel you are the best at." Did he understand what she was saying? Or did he need some more clarification?

Also... "What subject would you be interested in teaching?" Just curious.
