Every other kid doesn't have family here. Every other kid doesn't have a family to get pissed angry at and run away from. That is why. You asked me not to lecture you about the other night so I have not, but perhaps that is exactly what you need. Your mum is not the age you know and I am not the age you know, but we have still damn well wanted you in our lives. Al. Ginny. Pot-- Harry. We all care about you. That is why.
You know, I would have given everything to have grandparents and aunts and uncles to bicker with, but I did not have that sort of family. You do and you are obviously mad at us, but that doesn't mean we just give up on you and let you move the hell out of the house.
