"Lucy." He said her name again. "There is nothing wrong with pursuing a career in the arts, or music. If it's something you want to do..something you can see yourself doing, you must pursue it. If you want it, nothing else will ever make you happy until you've tried. You will regret it. I know you will regret it," he said gravely. "Please. Don't do something because other people want you to do it."

And, "I'd love to hear you play sometime. Absolutely. A harmonica is a nifty instrument to know how to play." He smiled warmly. "We need one in my band," he budged her elbow.

Lucy looked up at Professor Myers, curious what he was about to say. Until...his wandwork distracted her. She watched the tree move with fear at first...then awe.

See? That was something she wanted to be able to do. The bench was beautiful.

Her eyes drifted back to Professor Myers. And she obeyed, of course, sitting down beside him. He said her name again, and this time she held her breath. She could feel the lecture coming. She let her gaze drift again as she listened to his words...and teared up. "I can't," she choked out, her voice breaking. Every word he said was true, she knew it, but she just couldn't.

She sniffled and smiled and pulled the harmonica from her pocket to show him.
