"There is that," Nigel nodded. The real-world experience of post-Hogwarts life was good for them. Nigel still didn't feel anything akin to an actual adult, even though he was considered one. It was times like this that reminded him he was supposed to be doing something worthwhile with his time. Well, he supposed he was. His work kept him busy and traveling, he had the observatory and everything (and everyone) that came with it. He knew he was not to change the world, but he did have a better understanding of it. Perhaps that was just the realist in him, but it had served him well so far.

Taking a pensive sip of his drink, Nigel asked, "Business is good then?" It was hard to imagine doing something that his livelihood really depended on, like the potions business. His work at the ministry was so consistent that Nigel never had to worry about having a slow week; he got paid regardless.
