I am sorry to have to tell you that your parents as well as Horace, Olivia, and Vinca were all victims of Barty Crouch's rampage. He found them at their cottage in Torquay. Linus became concerned when they weren't replying to his owls, and asked one of our Aurors to go up and check on them, which is how we found out what had happened.

If you would like to come to Hogwarts to be with Linus and help him see to the funerals, please feel free to do so; we are open to whatever arrangements would allow you to feel safe among us during this difficult time.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss.
