So, I've narrowed it down to his working for someone else. Either he 
had a job casting spells, or he worked at Potion making. I'm assuming 
that someone has to create the magic that makes mirrors talk, or brooms 
obey riders. Can't you see him now, working in a magical toy shop---
enchanting dolls to talk?


Ceridwen:
Since he was awarded the post of Potions (School-)Master, I thought he 
might have been an apprentice to a Potions Master (in the guild sense, 
not schoolmaster sense) since his graduation.  I think that since there 
is no university in the WW for advanced lessons, the apprentice system 
would be the way to go.
