  I ran into the room, nearly freezing at the sight of my ill mother. The only parent I've known my entire life. I ran to her bedside, pulling out my wand to heal her, but she pushed it down. She shook her head.

"Mother, please." I begged, trying once more to heal her, only for her to shake her head and cough as she tried to speak. I leaned closer to her mouth, so she could tell me what she wanted to say.

"Go," she muttered as I pulled away, tears in my eyes. "You must go."

"What? No. I can't go now, you're dying..." I wiped the tears from my cheeks.

"Newt picked you for a reason Alice," Mother coughed, "You have to go with him." I shook my head, clearly thinking she was losing her mind.

"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity Ali. You must take it, and go be the best Magizoologist you can be." Mother took off her necklace and put it around my own neck. I held her hand lightly.

"But I can't leave you."

"I'm not giving you a choice, Alice."
