A student showing an interest in wandless magic was a pleasant surprise! Celestia had never really been serious in her pursuits of learning how to use magic without a wand until she reached university, but the fact that some Hogwarts students were at least interested in that branch of magic before they left school... Well, Celestia was excited to see what N.E.W.T. level students like that did out in the world. She gave Olivia a bright smile and said encouragingly, "Of course you may! The key to successful magic without a wand is, as I'm sure you know, determination and focus." She didn't think the Gryffindor would have asked to attempt a wandless spell unless the student had already been studying wandless magic for a while, so Celestia didn't feel the need to go into a lot of detail. She would, of course, if Olivia failed in her first attempts on the spell.

Celestia listened carefully and blinked in surprise as Olivia listed off her three subjects. Transfiguration and Charms were a natural fit together, but..Divination? The woman wasn't at all sure what careers could combine those three branches of magic. "Well, many careers require proficiency in both Transfiguration and Charms, including a number of jobs at the Ministry. Healers would perhaps be able to use all three subjects... It would be quite useful to be able to predict a patient's prognosis before treatment began, I suppose..." she mused aloud. It took Celestia almost a full minute to realize that she'd gone off on a tangent about Healer-Seer combinations in her head rather than actually thinking about Olivia's question. Mortified, she tried to pass her distraction off by taking a quick gulp of tea before smiling ruefully and admitting, "Err, perhaps Professor Vance would be able to help you incorporate Divination into your career choices. I'm afraid I don't know much about the subject myself." It had been her worst and most dreaded class at Hogwarts, actually, but there was no need to tell the students that.

It was as Celestia felt a pink flush rising in her cheeks -- admitting that she didn't know something felt so odd as a teacher -- and quickly immersed herself in pouring more tea into her own cup. It was as she was focused on the tea tray that a small, bright-pink ball of fluff appeared on the top of Olivia's chair. It had been climbing the back as quietly as possible while the witches were talking; they were paying attention to something besides it, and that was not something the pygmy puff would stand for. Plus, it could have a go at the strange witch's ears by being sneaky. As soon the pygmy puff gained the top of the strange witch (Olivia)'s chair, it wriggled its butt and POUNCED! in an effort to land right on top of her head.
