The science can be rather heavy, but it is just so fascinating to think about space and just how small we really are in the great scheme of things." Really it made one feel that their problems really weren't so bad after all; what would they even matter in the long run? Not much at all. "I've never been to Beauxbatons, but I heard all about how beautiful it is. I did my assistant teaching at Durmstrang. Is your brother enjoying his time there?" It could be a little overwhelming at first, but once you got into the groove of things, assisting was rather fun.

Rosalyn wasn't surprised when Olivia asked her where she had attended school. "Yes, I did. I was actually in Ravenclaw. Most of the professors used to attend Hogwarts, and I think that's rather nice. Return to where we came from." The first time she had set foot in the school as a professor was amazing. There had been so much nostalgia.

"Wonderful! I am sure that you will find everything that you need to know there. At the very least you could come up with some things that tie in to your interests." And then she could narrow it down from there. Just a possibility.
Astronomy was very fascinating indeed. So was Arithmancy but Arithmancy had been a difficult concept for Olivia to wrap her head around. It was mathematics meet Divination. It was very interesting. So Professor Newton had done her Assistant teaching at Durmstrang. "What was Durmstrang like?" asked Olivia with curious eyes. To Professor Newton's question, she nodded. Her brother was loving his time at Beauxbatons. "Oh yes, he's loving it. He really loves the school and hopes to teach their for as long as he can." She had only heard good things from Simon. Nice people, good students, and a school that wasn't trying to kill you. She had chuckled at his last statement. Though he had complained about a lack of mysteries to solve. He couldn't have it all.

So Professor Newton was a Ravenclaw? She could definitely see that. Hmm.. She wondered if Professor Newton and Healer Reed had attended Hogwarts at the same time. If so, she was sure that they would have some stories to tell perhaps. "That's amazing that most of you came back to teach here." It must have been weird coming back here and not being a student though. "Is it strange returning to Hogwarts and not being a student?"

The library was a good place to start for sure. Start there and then work her way out. Now that sounded like a brilliant plan.
