"Take what you need, or anything that inspires you. But don't take a subject for the sake of taking...all of them." Merlin. MERLIN.

And, "You're torn between TAKING Herbology and Charms or going on to STUDY them?" he asked for clarification. He was still in shock Rooney wanted to try to take ALL THE SUBJECTS EVER.

And...also...still in shock that he was a seventh year and LEAVING Paul next term. Leaving Paul. PAUL.

Rooney immediately went on the side of being insulted, shifting to sit up straight and rest his palms flat on his knees. "I did it for OWL year and I'll do it again this year, Professor Myers. I don't mean any offence when I say this, but you're clearly underestimating my educational ability." It wasn't like he was attending classes in Arithmancy anyway, given there being no teacher this year. But he had enough to cover his own curriculum should he need it. That was one class off his schedule. "Everything inspires me." And he didn't think that choosing between his classes was fair, when one day he could have wished he had taken them.

"I want to learn what I can now, when my mind is as absorbent as it is..instead of getting so far in a career and wishing I had taken the education given to me before with both hands instead of just taking what I needed at that point. The career path one chooses at fifteen isn't set to be the only career they ever have. Priorities change. Interests change. People change." But he hadn't come here to make a case for why he was taking so many subjects. He came to ask for guidance.

"At university, Sir."
