Ned smiled, seeming almost satisfied that at least one of his friends could one day imagine him as an auror. If he could manage the grades and make it through the internship, that is. Despite his tense relationship with his father, he still wished to follow in his footsteps, to ensure that everyone he loved stayed safe. If one thing was certain, Ned wouldn't be the cocky sort of auror. "I do hope so."

When Sloane seemed to decide that Cam would also make a professional team, he laughed. "Now that's a rivalry I would pay to see." His tone was a teasing one. If they remained friends past graduating Hogwarts, he'd likely attend both of their games and cheer just as loudly at each.
