BOUNCE
BOUNCE
....oh he had serious questions. Paul bounced one last time before letting himself fall on his behind, looking up at Oliver. "Have a seat, then. We can discuss your future," he grinned.
"Well, you need to take OWLs regardless. And as for working in the muggle world...well, your transcripts will be slightly different looking if you want a job there...and...well..tell me what you're thinking. What is it you want to be, right this minute, when you grow up more?" Because all his students were GROWN UP...but there was always MORE growing to do! So.
Olly grinned at Professor Myers' statement. He agreed very much. It would be so boring to have to work all day long without any breaks. Sometimes he felt like that would be what his life would be like as a fifth year, but so far he had been managing as long as he did find break times amidst homework and studying.
"My summer was good. We went on a family vacation in August. And I volunteered all summer at a theater to help paint their sets." It had been a blast. He'd already told them he'd be back next summer.
Following Professor Myers' lead, Olly let his last bounce take him all the way down so he was sitting on the trampoline. It was still much cooler than sitting in a chair in an office. And it made the conversation about his future feel less serious and stressful, so that was nice.
"I know I have to take them, but the subjects aren't exactly what muggle students would take. How would they be translated?" He couldn't apply to a muggle university with his Hogwarts transcript.
"Or if I go to a wizard university could they translate that degree into someone that's applicable in the muggle world." As for the question about what he wanted to do, he had been expecting that of course and supplied his answer immediately.
"A social worker."
