As she listened to him tell of his work history, she started adding up all of the years in her head. He had to be almost as old as her father. Either that, or he graduated from Hogwarts at a very young age. The former was far more likely. She perked up when he mentioned tracking down dark magic artifacts. That sounded exciting. “Wow, that sounds like it would be a great job. I’d like to learn more about tracking down dark artifacts.” She’d probably need some higher education before landing at job like that.
Then it turned back to her. She had no idea what to say. Her parents continuously bugged her about making future plans. If only they could understand that she would if she had any idea what it was she wanted to do. Ashery wasn’t sure how to plan for future when she didn’t know what kind of future it was she was planning for.
“Oh, I don’t see myself in a job like that. It’s fine being her assistant and all, for now, but to think about spending the rest of my life stuck in this building…” She trailed off and blushed, realizing she probably shouldn't have said that last part out loud. Given his age, he was probably someone that could get her fired. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for the job and I hope to learn a lot from it.” She needed to quickly find a way to recover “I just don’t see myself long term in that department.” That sounded much better. “There are so many other departments here that may end up being a better fit for me in the long run.”
It was always her mouth that got her into trouble. She knew that thinking before speaking was a good idea, but it didn’t always happen. “So, what made you decide to take the job you are in now? It doesn’t sound nearly as exciting as the others, well, except for the Russian job.”
