Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Oh, it was very nice. He wanted to tell me what a good job I did, and he said I had great potential for a bright future. He said I'd have to work harder than most to reach my full potential -- because of my 'unfortunate circumstances,' which I thought was rather a hilarious way of saying 'because you're a halfblood in fostering' -- but that he was sure I'd go far.

And he wanted to know what my own plans were, for later on, because he might know people he could introduce me to. Only, I don't really know what my plans are. I know what I'm good at but I've always tried to focus on being realistic and thinking about where I could find work, and that's mostly been things like, 'well, the Strettons like hiring halfbloods as managers because they don't worry as much about them running off to find better jobs elsewhere' or 'someone would probably hire me as a governess, I have good marks plus I'm good with little kids.' He was thinking about better jobs than that but I don't know much about that sort of job. Anyway he said it was alright I didn't know but I should give it some thought because as we get older there will be opportunities and he knows people who could open doors for me.
