Feathers, flowers, animals and quills were all placed out in front of her desk as she moved about lifting tables and moving them away in preparation for her meeting with Leo. She had found Leo to be an exceptional student almost going against the trend with how Slytherin students were. " Okay, now that's all prepared, it's time to take a seat. " She whispered as she helped herself to her comfy pink and plush soft chair she used for teaching.
Leo had written out to a variety of Professors to seek assistance with post Hogwarts and career life. Saint, happened to be an ex Auror and a Hogwarts Professor albeit it be an Associate role. She wondered if she could help him with some questions Leo may of had with both work in the Ministry and or work as a Professor.

Leo was glad that some of the professors were happy to meet with him to talk about the future. Being a sixth year, he knew he would be leaving Hogwarts soon, and he wanted to have a good idea of what his future might contain. Hopefully it was all good stuff, but it was certainly one thing to spend much of one's life at school and then have to do something else.
"Hello Professor Laurent." Leo said when he walked in. He wasn't quite sure what questions to ask, but he would probably be able to figure it out. She was an associate professor, and he had considered that as a career path before, though he wasn't sure if he would be able to teach any subjects, uncertain as he was if he was any good at anything except for Charms.

“ Hi Leo.” She greeted with a smile on her face as she welcomed the student into the room. “ Thanks for seeing me, have you had something to eat? “ She asked in a sweet tone to her voice as she walked over to another table and picked up a plate of cookies. “ I hope you don’t have any allergies, but I have some cookies here should you wish to have some, they’re in my hand. “ She said bringing the plate closer to Leo.
“ So, sixth year aye? I know how difficult it can be getting close to your final year at school and you’re not sure on what to do. I’ve been there. “ She reflected back at her own time as a student. While she knew she would go into an Auror field and it was what she was striving for, she didn’t expect to be teaching here at Hogwarts. “ What options have you considered ? “

Leo had already had lunch, but he took a cookie anyways, reaching out carefully so that he didn't knock the plate out of Professor Laurent's hand. It wasn't often he had the time to ask professors questions that interested him, so he wanted to use it wisely.
"That's right, professor." Leo said. Sixth year already, and he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with himself. "Well, I was thinking about doing something in the Scottish Government. But I wanted to ask about what it's like to be a professor. And how you decided it was right for you."

Although she knew Leo wouldn't of been able to see her, Saint continued to smile watching Leo reach out ensuring she held the plate firmly and moved it toward him to make things easier. " I made these myself. Full of love, sweets and sprinkles!" She added boasting about her baking skills.
" There's a seat to your left, you're welcome to take a seat. " She said as she took it upon herself to summon a chair for herself. " Being a professor is more than just a teaching position I discovered. " She began as she took a deep breath. " It uses your experience and expertise in a particular field and then you have to grasp that experience and turn in into learning content. " She slowly opened up a book with some of her personal notes.
" My thoughts on being a Professor is that it's difficult yes, but it's also very rewarding. I live for the moment in which a student has that light bulb moment where they understand something or are able to produce a specific spell. " She added turning a few pages of her book to a particular page. " I've got a book here with me that I can read out to you but it's all my teaching notes. "

It seemed that Professor Laurent was quite confident in her baking abilities, so he took a bite of the cookie even though he was still a bit full. He found that it was quite good.
Leo took a seat in the chair that she had mentioned, finding it relatively easily. He was a bit nervous about talking with the professor, since he wasn't the best student in the class even if he did try.
"So why did you pick Transfiguration?" Leo asked. She must have had a good grasp on the subject because she had just mentioned that she needed to teach it. He wasn't sure if he could ever teach transfiguration, or anything, actually. He liked Charms, but could he teach it? Probably not as a sixth year.
"What kind of notes do you have to take?" Leo asked, "Is it like, which students need extra help or which ones are okay?"
He thought that part was interesting, especially since he wondered if she noted down how many points everyone had gained or lost.

Leo's interest in a career in education was refreshing. It was rare to find someone interested in taking their career into the educational field. Saint herself didn't consider a career in education until after her change from his distinguished but short lived career as an Auror. Needless to say, it wasn't exactly a fall from grace but rather a blessing in disguise.
"I've always enjoyed transfiguration. " She replied watching him bite into the cookie which caused her a lot of delight. " Ever since I was young I excelled in Transfiguration but I'm not some prodigy, it took a lot of work. " She responded noting her own personal challenges and tribulations she had to go through to be where she is now.
" I'm also a Metamorphmagus. So that's always been fun. " She smiled as she looked down at her book. " Some of these contain notes on how many house points I've awarded and how many I'm deducting but it also contains notes of some students progress and what spells I've decided to teach and cover too. " Although she couldn't name the students, she was prepared to give examples should Leo need them.
"Why do you think education is a career option for you? " She asked curious if Leo was simply enquiring or if he was actually interested in the career field.

Leo listened thoughtfully as Professor Laurent described her experiences with Transfiguration. It was somewhat comforting to hear that she had to work at it, as while he had subjects that he enjoyed, he did always have to work to do well in them. It was probably just as well that he wasn't any type of prodigy. He thought he would be quite insufferable if he didn't have to work for his achievements.
He nodded over her explanation of her notes. That all sounded like it made sense to him. "How do you decide which years learn which spells? Or is that something the Ministry is in charge of?"
Leo would be fascinated to learn the extent of what the Ministry had control of. Or was it the WGOS that was in charge of Hogwarts? That was the one thing he wasn't sure about, and considering that he was going to be of age soon he realized he should probably know more.
"I'm not sure if I want to do education," Leo admitted, "I'm not sure what I want to do at all, actually, but I thought it would be a good idea to figure out what some of my options might be."

When Saint had learned about Leo's interest in exploring different fields of work, she initially thought that it would be as simple as question and answer. Though this wasn't the case with Leo, it did give her the opportunity to provide a different way to answer questions. It was rare to have a blind student let alone one that was so willing to learn more and do well for themselves.
" Spells are based off the textbooks for those years. I relate a lot of the spells I teach to the textbooks you have. Some are questionable and some are popular. I then also consider what each student needs to perform during their OWL's or NEWT's. " She hoped this would of answered his question. Truth be told, sometimes she just wings it.
" Sometimes it's worth it to just explore different fields. " She replied with a smile not that he could see. " I was an Auror that became a Professor but I must say, I do enjoy an occasional duel here and there ." She takes a seat and faces Leo. " No matter what career choice you do, I know you'll be amazing in it."
