".........the gift shop," he repeated, disbelief clear in his knotted brow. Though what came next, well, THAT had far more promise and seemed far more fitting from what he had observed over the years.

"You know, Mr. Adair. I always saw in you the spark of education. I do not necessarily mean professorship." As in returning to Hogwarts as one or even working as one else where. "What I mean is that you are a nurturer." Which was something that he could only now properly acknowledge now that he had become a father himself. "I think you would find working with children in the daycare much more fulfilling."

..........Uh, again.... Was it something he said? Look, even Zander Adair was aware that hoping to work in the gift shop would be a complete demotion. In fact, he was quite aware that it wasn't a real aspiration at all. Unfortunately though, he was having a hard time seeing his potential lately. Especially when everyone else around him seemed to be succeeding. Weren't your 20s supposed to be a time full of discovery and excitement? So far, they just sucked. Did nothing more than show him how inadequate he was. All of his friends were off doing cool things. Ethan was living out his dream job as a modern day Sherlock Holmes, Soph graduated university with two incredibly prestigious degrees, Dora Umbridge was gonna have a kid, even Bart had sealed the deal with Cinna.

And here was Zander Adair. Both his professional and romantic life at a constant standstill.

He gave his former Professor a sheepish sort of look. It wasn't until what he said next when the blonde's entire face saw a change. It began in his eyes, which seemed to light up a bit, and then reached his posture and overall demeanor. "Really, you think so?" How was he supposed to go for it?? Is that just something.... He was supposed to figure out?? Did departments even do transfers like that?? "You really think I should go for it?
