"Indeed, choice is a foundational aspect of the story.  Without choice, the Sameness is rather easy, everything being decided for you.  From what I know of you though, Miss Nichols, is that you do not conform.  You do not let others decide on your behalf.  Being raised muggle with magic means you never quite fit the mold expected of you.  As a witch, you defied the expectations of a muggleborn.  As the President’s daughter, you fought a war while no one knew who you were or where you were.  You’ve returned to school with a new name and a new identity.  Sameness has never fit you, Miss Nichols, but you know that.  So now you get to choose - will you accept conformity for everyone else’s comfort, or press forward for your own?"
