He's been living and working alongside Muggles for years, and he has a healthy respect for our Arabella.

I'm sure that will help.

It's just that right now at least, he can't see what use he'd be to anyone beyond his magic. He kept saying it today. 'I'm bloody useless.'

I get the feeling he wishes he hadn't woken up. Which concerns me greatly.

And when I try to convince him of his worth, and tell him what I value about him and what he means to me, to the Order, to our children, he dismisses it and says I'm coddling him out of pity.
