She had issues. Issues with abandonment.
Watching him closely, she wiped away at the tears that had began falling again and shook her head. "I thought you would understand, you KNOW everything that's gone on with me Ad. You were THERE last summer." And yet, he couldn't even look at her now.
Turning back, Adam looked at Lori as she ran off the list of people. He wondered who she'd stopped saying and missed out.
"What about Brody?" he prodded. Of course, that had to be 'B-', because Brody was her best friend, right? And she hadn't mentioned her.
"We all hate leaving things, Lor," he whispered, pulling her close to him and speaking into her ear.
"But if you leave now, you are still abandoning it. And Goldie, and Sarah and Miranda, and all of your other friends....and me." And it was true, wasn't it? Although she wouldn't be abandoning Torin, because he was leaving too, she'd be abandoning the rest of her friends.
Abandoment issues, huh?
"I know! I do! It's just --you need to do your N.E.W.T.'s," he pleaded, saying the first thing that came into his head. Although he doubted that would work.
"And you're never fully abandoning it! We can come back, if there's another Alumni Ball, and your kids'll come here? And you'll never forget it." THAT was the best he could come up with? Adam was panicing.
If she left Hogwarts, she was abandoning him.
