You're right. I don't know why this feels so hard. I'm only realizing now that I've never... Dealt with any of what happened. I just burried it.
For a long time I was a farm hand, actually. I had no wand, no money and no idea where to go, so I stayed with the first family that needed an extra hand. I did that for years until... Well, things changed. When I finally made it back to the wizarding community I worked with dragons. Can't really do either of those things, here.
