No, that makes sense. I don't remember any of the others, although I did of course know Percy, through Lucius. (And a more transparently desperate desire for recognition I have never seen. It's a pity he did not absorb any of the lessons in cunning along with it.) I did try what I could -- it helps that Ron is one of the ones with a natural gift for the Arts -- but perhaps with his father's death he wasn't interested in a male role model. (With that mother, he's predisposed to following strong women, I suppose.)
Ah, well; this is the reason I asked you back to Hogwarts, after all, to have someone else here with the skill necessary to cultivate those students whom I could not reach and lure them into the glory of service instead of allowing them to fade away into the mundanity of private employ. And there, I'm just as exhausted as you are: have confession for confession.

Sleep, my dear. You've certainly earned it.
