As soon as it had come it was gone. He turned back to her and asked her to give her input. She wanted so badly to scream to him to stay, but he would never be really happy if someone else choose for him. They both knew that much. It had to be his choice and his life like it should be.

"No Adam, I'm not going to pretend to be you... because I'm not you. Because I won't ever be you. Because what I would do for myself, is not what you would do for yourself. Because we are different people with different life experiences and different emotions.

"Your parents are your parents. They may be and seem to be terrible to you. But they are your parents. Now sometimes in a destructive environment you have to break away or have it be destructive in the end to you. And sometimes you have to stay. But that is up to you. It is all up to what you want to do.

"I..." Selina could not believe she was going to give him any objective opinions, "...would go. I would need to make myself happy and serve myself. I would know that my parents did not understand how much I needed this time at this school and would know that they did not understand me anyway... so what would I have to lose...

"But that is me. And I would be selfish, because that choice can be selfish, it not always is but can be. You are dancing a thin line Adam. But you need to jump and go for it.

"The way I see it is you have two choices: Go with your parents to Mexico City and leave Hogwarts. Or move in with my family and leave your parents. In both cases you lose something... which one is worse?"
