Ellsworth nodded as he read the beginning of Higgs’ statement. Better to deal with someone at least interested then have to try and persuade them it was in their best interest. But his next statement was also true. “It is not.” Ellsworth agreed not unkindly, rather brushing it off as something not to be considered at the moment. “However, you have been, since your first day in my classroom, attempting N.E.W.T. level magic.” He explained, leaning back in his chair and fixing Higgs with a look. “Non-verbal magic is quite difficult and I suspect that your lack of … aptitude is rather less that then attempting magic above your level. Indeed, for your studies, I do think you are rather more successful then some of your peers at non verbal spells.” The boy for a fact could actually cast some here and there. “Which brings me to the reason I asked you here. I’d like to see you pursue N.E.W.T. level charms to continue working on this. I believe with the additional studies you may yet have some more successes then you have had so far in my class.”
