Now she'd worry a little less or at least try to.

A career in music? Hmm... Olivia had certainly thought about a career in music but she wasn't sure if she would like performing or entertaining like a pop star or a band. "I don't know. I'm fascinated with scores used in films. I think that would be pretty cool to explore. I'm not sure if I would want to get onstage and sing and perform. I don't really have much of a singing voice." She had taken singing lessons at Beauxbatons but had stopped when she had gotten to Hogwarts. She still sung every day in the shower though or when she was walking by herself. "I love music but I'm also interested in charms and healing." And she loved history and archaeology too. "And archaeology and history. I'd love to pursue them all."

A question popped into her mind. She decided to ask it. "How did you decide to what you wanted to do for a career? How did you know that you wanted to be a Professor?"
There was a smile in response to the reassurance that everyone would be okay, and that made Rosalyn feel relieved. Everyone would be okay; there was no way that the staff for either school would allow for students to get hurt. This was supposed to be a fun competition, and after what had happened last term it was more than needed.

Aaah, so Olivia was more interested in creating music than singing. That was completely understandable. Rosalyn nodded. "Well, you could always write music in your spare time and even make a side living off of it if you wanted. On top of pursuing another career." Just an idea. Really there was nothing wrong with giving yourself more than one option. [b]"Well, you still have plenty of time to figure things out further, and you know we can always give you advice. "I'm glad you like history. I think it's a subject that can get overlooked, but it still has importance." Not to say that there was anything wrong with not enjoying it.

The question was slightly surprising, but only because no one had really asked her that before. "Well, I always liked history and I love helping people, so it seemed like a good fit. It's not the only career I've held, as I've also been a librarian, but between the two I prefer teaching. I like helping people learn about the past." In her opinion teaching was one of those things that a person needed to be passionate about to enjoy.
