    Due to her association with teaching colleagues and scholars around the world, Myrni had been involved with Year Out Adventures for many years, even back when she taught at Salem. The group specialized in Gap Year traveling and Myrni was excited to represent it at the career fair, along with some of the other professors.

    With the school year coming to a close, Myrni was reminded of how much she enjoyed her summer vacations and sometimes she wondered why she went back to teaching at all when the break was over.

    The booth was full of color, both with banners and plenty of photos of group destinations. The most prominent banner read, “Explore the world of possibilities before defining a life path.”

    Some of the options for what they would be doing were also listed generally:
    -explore ancient languages
    -live with international wizarding families
    -participate in volunteer projects
    -explore natural and cultural wonders
    -climb, dance, fly and more

    Many of the professors and other representatives were prepared to discuss specific destinations that they had visited themselves as part of their work. Myrni was certain that any interested student would be able to find at least one locale of interest and would want to sign up for part of or all of the year long trip around the world.

    Nervously, the arithmancy professor fidgeted with some photo albums that had been laid out and waited for the first victims—err students—to arrive.

    Aleron Wilhelm came up carrying the tools of the archaeologist trade...literally. They were all in a bright red plastic box...the sort Muggles often use for fishing tackle. Walking up to the table he tipped his bush hat, smiling at the pretty lady running the booth.

    "Good morning," he said, with just the slightest touch of German acent. After all he had lived and taught in the US for many years  now.

    "I am Aleron Wilhelm," he introduced himself politely. "I teach Runic studies at Laevenstrome, but I often take students on archaology projects in the summer. This year I will be going to Chaco Canyon, to study some interesting petroglyphs..."

    He set out some brochures, dealing with assorted topics about the Southwestern United States, and then he set out his tools. A trowel, a compass, a tablet of graph paper, a handful of pencils, several sizes of paintbrushes, a ball of heavy duty twine and a box of chalk powder...
