When I gave her the news, she completely broke down. She may never be the same person again. She won't get out of bed, and she won't say anything to me either. The only thing she will do is eat. Maybe through all the sadness of her life, the only thing that kept her going was the thought of having kids and loving them as she loved her parents.
Now that I'm more calm, I'm going to get a second opinion. I just don't undestand how someone can do that much damage by just raping them, and even though the first healer said she'd never have children, maybe the second will think differently. I just hope he does because I can't stand the thought of not having kids either, and it's almost as bad for me because it's all my fault. If I had just accepted his challenge and killed him then, he wouldn't have been able to cause all of this suffering. I was afraid of him, but I'm making a promise: from now on, I will never let fear decide for me again.
Ron and Hermione said they felt sorry for us in an owl, but what can that do? I'm going to owl Hermione to see if there's anything she knows about that can help Luna at all, but right now Luna needs me, and my only responsibility is to be kind to her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health -- I will never leave her like this.
