When I was ten, there was a boy we knew, just about Reg's age. They decided he must have been a Squib. His parents Obliviated him and left him at a Muggle orphanage. We never heard what happened to him after that.
Not that we'd ever abandon Frank but - well, the idea of losing one's magic it's just ... unthinkable.
The main thing is not to treat him like an invalid just because he can't lift a wand at present. Normal as possible. And keeping him occupied.
I told Alice I'll come back out to Moddey and challenge him to a race or something. Also thought maybe he'd like to spend some time in Saltash since he can't do magic there even if he had the option. Might help him to get his mind off things.
Albus must have had a clue this might happen. He can't have just allowed Frank to try it without warning him this might be the consequence, surely.
