Time will help, I hope. And so will being around people who love you. I'm sure Ginny wants very much to do whatever she can to make things easier for you, and I'm so glad Luna has come by.
Arthur has been a near-constant presence these last few weeks. I keep wondering what he would've thought and done, and I miss him terribly and wish he was here to provide us with his steady common sense.
He would've been devastated at Percy's death, and he'd be angry, and frustrated, and heartbroken, and worried about you. But I truly and deeply believe that he'd see this as a tragedy rather than think either he or you were to blame, or that you'd failed as parents. Percy was wrapped up in something much larger than himself, was cruelly used by powerful people who cared nothing for him, and it was all done in a way that gave you little to no choice in the matter -- where all your options were impossible.
