Sarah nodded again. "That makes sense. I just don't feel I have that balance yet." She chuckled ruefully, "I suppose I can't push it...but it's so frustrating waiting to develop it."
She smiled sheepishly at Healer Tonks. "I guess I'm a bit impatient. I just...I just don't want to fall short." She couldn't quite bring herself to actually use the word fail.
After carefully considering Healer Tonks' question, Sarah at long last shook her head. "No," she said slowly, "I don't think so. I love Potions, always have, and they've always come fairly easily to me," she blushed a little bit at that. "I think it would feel like I wasn't pushing myself enough. Like I was hiding."
Huh. She hadn't known she'd felt that way before she walked into the room. It seemed that this talk was quite illuminating, indeed.
