Talking About Careers

[Deryn Morgan]

Deryn stood in the corridor of the third floor and looked up and down. She couldn't remeber which way she was suppose to turn to find Professor Gallaudet's office, so she just took a guess and turned right. She walked a little ways down the corridor, glancing at the pictures as she walked by until she saw a door. She hoped that this was his office. She was on her way to talk to the professor about what career she should choose when she got out of Hogwarts. Deryn took a deep breath and let it out to calm herself down. She knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

[Banks Gallaudet]

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Banks knew who it must be. The scedualed Career Counseling had begun, and students would soon be pouring in for their session. "Come in!" he called to the person behind the door. Rising from his chair, he walked to the shelf to retrieve the file of Miss Morgan, and a few other papers involving the session.

Deryn slowly turned the knob on the door and it creaked open. She poked her head in and looked around. She saw Professor Gallaudet's back, as he was standing at a shelf, looking for something.
"Hi Professor," she squeaked. Deryn was extremly nervous about this meeting, although she didn't know why. She walked further into the office and looked around again. It seemed like a very welcoming place and her nerves calmed down a little. She was still a little worried about what they would discuss. She knew what career she wanted, but she wasn't sure if she would have the grades needed to pull it off.

Banks glanced over his shoulder and nodded to the girl, flashing her a small smile. "Please sit down Miss Morgan. I'm just looking for - oh, here they are." he cut short.

Sitting back down, he opened the files and looked across at the girl. He had heard her voice sqeak, and could tell just by the atmosphere around her she was a tadbit nervous.

"Nothing to be afraid of, this is only counseling. I hope to help you with your career choice, unless you already have one. In that case, I just want to inform you of other options incase you decide to ultimately change one day." Banks told the girl. He didn't want her to be nervous about anything.

[Deryn Morgan]

Deryn immediatly felt a lot better. She smiled when she thought about her career choice.

"Well, I had an idea of what I wanted to do after Hogwarts..." she started, but her voice trailed off. The only reason she wanted this particular occupation was so that she could protect other families from having to go through what she and her father did. But just thinking about her father made her angry, so she let her mind wander back to the task at hand. Her career.

"The idea I had was that I wanted to be an Auror. I really want to protect families from having to go through what I did," she said, repeating the thought from her head.

((bahh, gettin kicked off the computer))

[Banks Gallaudet]

[so so so so so so sorry for the delay]

Banks smiled at her words. With Tamis having been an auror, he had heard about what they go through but also the rewards of their work. He knew personally from experiences that it was a very dangerous career, but there would always be a need for them.

"You certainly have the right motivation for the job. It is a challenging career, but I suppose the challenge is just the fun part of it at times." he spoke.

[Deryn Morgan]

[no worries ]

Deryn smiled as he spoke. She could feel her face going a little pink again, but this time it was a good reason.
"I'm really looking for a challenge like that. My mum worked at the Ministry--" she started, but stopped halfway through her sentence. It was painful even mentioning her mother, even after all these years. She cleared her throat and continued talking.
"And my dad was an Auror too. He taught me everything he knows and some things I probably shouldn't know about yet," she added with a small smile. This wasn't as scary as she thought it would be.
