She smiled over at the man when, instead of laughing at her for not having the kind of qualifications that he probably had or even a student her age with their O.W.L. scores had, started handing her books that he could recommend to her. “Thank you so much, sir. I appreciate your help,” she said, running her fingers along the spines of the offered books, reading their titles. Elisabeth looked back up at the young gentleman as he told her about the Flint Institute of Advanced Magic, a place where she could study and learn a lot more about alchemy and potions. The name sounded vaguely familiar, she'd heard it before, Elisabeth wondered if that was where Dorian was studying at this month, she would have to ask him when she got back home.

“It sounds wonderful, I’ll have to ask my Aunt Ophelia if I can go,” She wondered if she would be able to take classes and attend finishing school or if she would have to wait until she was done with it. But, it excited her to know there was a place she could study even if she didn’t have her N.E.W.T. scores - she just would have to see if her lack of O.W.L. scores were a problem, since she only finished her fourth year before being pulled out for finishing school. “Did you go there, sir? Based on what books you’ve been looking at, you must have a lot of extensive knowledge on the subjects I’m interested in - even more so than what they probably teach at Hogwarts,” not that she was too familiar with the last two years of Hogwarts subjects.
