He's not...not entirely in his right mind. Oh, don't get me wrong; no one has driven him 'round the twist like Ginny. But he was severely hurt, and afraid he's not going to get better--the healing has been slow--and that has messed with his...his conception of himself. He just really needs to lick his wounds in private for now. I'm sorry, but he can't deal with the avalanche of a concerned Molly Weasley.
