Their parents are leftists, open minded, pro LGBTQ+, learned to use the right pronouns (to their face at least) all that jazz.

Their Auntie grew up in a remote area, little old fashioned, doesn't really "get" the non binary thing, and hasn't quite got the hang of the singular 'they' yet. But she tries.

When my cousin got injured and couldn't drive their parents shrugged and told them to quit their job.

Their Auntie drove them to and from work every day until they got their cast off.

Which family member do you think they'll ask next time they need help?

Looking up as the view over the mountainous path ahead of him finally starts to reveal those spiraling dark towers hidden amidst snowy white peaks, Harry reflects again on all the other little moments of his life that have led up to this one, and whether there was anything he could ever have done differently to end up someplace else. He wonders what awaits him in the sunless days ahead and whether all of the hardship he endured on this journey will have been worth it by the end.

What is possibly most damning of all is that he is not thinking of his parents right now as he trudges alongside his companions up to Voldemort’s eerie castle. He is thinking instead, as he often does, of a name that burns too brightly on his wrist in the pre-dawn light. He is thinking of what could have been, what has never been, what will never be.
