Harry had said that he’d talk to his parents over dinner about everything, but he’d found it harder to start than he’d thought it would be. He knew they knew, Sirius had told him that much - and they knew that he wanted to tell them - but getting the words to come out, that was the hard part.
Eventually, though, he couldn’t get over waiting for them to ask, and someone had to break the tension of it. He poked at his chicken with his fork and said, “I thought not telling you about all of it would keep you safe. I mean, I have to be the one who does it. If you knew, you’d... help. And So many people are risking it already...” He didn't really have a choice in telling Ron and Hermione, they'd have found out anyway and it wasn't like his trouble didn't seem to always encircle them somehow. But his parents and Sirius and Remus and everyone else didn't have to go putting themselves in line to get killed for him too.
