You think because I see them clearly now, that I never loved my parents?
It would have been so much easier that way.
Reg is a different story. He tried so hard to please them that he got in over his head. And then couldn't see a way out, but one.
But ... no, when I was your age - when I was the age you and Harry first started getting to know Hermione - I would have given nearly anything to make my parents proud. What took the longest was reconciling myself to the facts that it would never happen and more to the point, I wasn't willing to do the things necessary to make it happen.
That didn't make disappointing them easier, though. Just more justifiable.
