Well. Don't get me wrong, there's a load of resentment there, too. He didn't -- sorry, Bill -- want to talk about Mum, or about December at all, and a few times he got dead quiet, in that way that means he's trying not to lose his temper about something. And he kept coming back to how much he misses Dad, and the reason he kept saying was, Dad always answered his questions. I think what's been getting up his nose lately is being treated like he doesn't have the right to make his own decisions and being kept in the dark about the things he thinks are important, you know?
He's trying to figure out how to be his own person, and that's a rough spot. Especially in this family, sometimes. I love Mum, I really do, but sometimes she's very ... Mum.
But I told him, the way they all are together, so determined, so protective of each other, so convinced that they're going to do good in the world -- in this world -- is something I really admire. Because, yeah, they've got Death Eaters' kids standing back to back with Muggleborn. And I'm not sure exactly how they did it, I don't know if even they know how they did it, but -- if we or they can figure it out, we've got a lot we can learn from that.
