That is a point on which they would greatly differ. She could be picky about her chocolate quality, but as for flavors or other types of candy? Sugar was king and she'd scarf it down pretty much regardless of how it came. Except ice cream. After the previous summer, she still couldn't LOOK at a bowl of the one favorite treat before scurrying off to the loo. So.. he was going into healing but also holed up in a remote muggle location? Did that mean that there was a muggle university he had found to go to? The whole after Hogwarts options confused her third year brain a LOT so the information of what someone was already doing was fascinating. "What are you going to do next year after you graduate?" Considering the twin seemed out of bounds anyways, hearing what Atlas was going to do was next best (and maybe better) option. "I don't think you should graduate yet if you don't have any ideas. I like having you around, so maybe you could just be held back instead!" Except then Daniel and Atlas would BOTH be graduating and that would also be tragic.

Wait.. did he just say dismantle? Dungbombs? Her eyes went WIDE as she blinked at him a few times. A glitterbomb was a great idea and she supposed taking existing product was easier than creating but... "How do you dismantle that without getting... dunged?" She hadn't been aware someone could actually do that.

You would think that growing up in an overly health conscious family would make the Flamsteed offspring a little more rabid when it came to sugar and sweets, but it was almost the opposite effect. He was almost sensitive to the sugar levels and cheap sweets tended to be loaded in it and to the point of almost tasting toxic. Then the luxury sweets were better but also richer so he could only stomach so much of those.

Minus sugar quills. Those were an exception.

At some point he had been considering chocolatiering and had been melting down and experimenting on chocolate frogs...but it was a short lived fascination of two terms. Once he had tried metal charming first hand...well...it was love at first tinker.

"Well...sorry to unintentionally break your heart here but...I'll be attending university for Metallurgy and Metal Charming. Hoping to double major in that and Business Administration and Management," he replied without missing a beat. "Someone pitched me a business proposal so...bulking up my expertise." And by a pitch he meant that Freddie had playfully made a suggestion or two while working on the long term Muggle Studies assignment, but it sounded way more impressive conveying that this way. "Just haven't entirely decided on which campus." Or where he was going to live - though he really wasn't opposed to living at home for a bit and maybe paying some rent to mum and dad if they insisted. Or maybe Unchiuln Andre and Aunt Vivian wouldn't be opposed to him living with them in the spare room for a little. Atlas was, at last, on good terms with his niece now and she even smiled when he held her. He could earn his room through babysitting. "But...I'll be keeping my part-time job in Diagon Alley, so you can stop by there and see me pretty easily if all else fails. Cause I like having you around too," he concluded with a coy wink and teasing nudge with his elbow.

And...not to break your heart further, Vera, but he could not WAIT to be done with Hogwarts and the thought of sticking around for another year was nauseating.

Gladly accepting her compliment, because her awe at the ability to dismantle a dung bomb as he had done time and time again was a compliment, Atlas puffed out his chest just a bit and flexed his fingers in her direction. "Steady hands and dexterous fingers," he smirked. And loads of failed attempts where the dung bombs had gone off and at one point dad had given him a tomato soup bath because of the smell.

Contrary to folklore, by the way, that did NOT work and Atlas was convinced his dad had known that but proceeded anyway just to leave an impression.
