So mun, I've been thinking. Remember way back, the first time, when things got a little bit much and I went with Asher to the States? He and I stayed there with Alex for a while and just pretended we were Muggles?

I don't suppose I can have another break?

[Oh, you mean the time you abandoned your family and played mom to your sister's kid while your brother-in-law worked as a stripper to put food on the table? That time?]

...You always have to make things sound worse than they really were, don't you.

One as young as you should enjoy life as best as you can.

[Mary smiles a little sadly.]

I didn't really get to, back then. But this time it's a little better. I get to do things differently now, to a point.

[cycleofrebirth]

Differently according to your own desires? [Sera will forever support staunch independence.] Or, perhaps, the desires of your parents?

[oddmalfoyout]

Well...mine, I guess. I've always been too stubborn for my own good, just ask my sister.

[She laughs.]

I seem to take after my mother.

[cycleofrebirth]

There is nothing wrong with stubbornness. Use it to your advantage and follow the path that beckons to you the most.

If you were my child, I would urge you to spread your wings.

How about being stubbornly indecisive? Because I can be good at that too. [Though she's making an effort at being less indecisive, really.]

Oh, I know what I want to do. I'm going to be an Auror.

[Mary tilts her head a little, studying the woman thoughtfully.]

My mother does, but she'd like me to be a little more...cautious.

[As in not going about thinking she's invincible just because she's gotten away with some things in the past.]
