I didn't miss the significance of Harry telling me he had family. He rarely talked about it (and even deflected when it came up, like my thoughtless comment the other day), but I'd heard the longing in his voice when he'd given me advice. He hadn't had family since his father died.
I tried to imagine life without my family, and couldn't. They might be the proverbial albatross, but they were a big part of who I was. Family changed people, shaped who they were.
Who will Harry be, I wondered, with family?
Well, I answered myself, let's find out.
