It was quite beautiful that Ginny's aunt sent this adventure from beyond the grave in order to continue to guide Ginny and to allow Ginny to learn from her mistakes. There were quite a few heartbreaking moments, but many more uplifting and funny moments. Those envelopes came just when Ginny needed her aunt's guidance. If it is possible to atone from the grave, her aunt did it. By sending Ginny on this journey, she revealed her hopes and fears to her niece. She exposed her to new experiences, encouraged her to go outside of her comfort zone and showed her that she was stronger and just "more" than Ginny believed she was. Lots of fun, lots of feels, and a tour of Europe to boot.
