After graduating Hogwarts, Lucy wasn't sure what she wanted to do with her life - the world seemed wide open, with so many possibilities to take. She bounced from thing to thing for a while - working for her father as a herbologist, a brief stint in art school, a slightly less brief stint in fashion design, but finally she found her niche when her daily walks started taking her past Eeylops. After making the difficult decision to go back to school again, Lucy finally walked away with a path she felt sure of, becoming a vet with a specialty in owl biology.
