"It was fucking heroic," Hermione stated, and everyone's eyes, including Draco's, flew to look at her incredulously. "It was." She said stubbornly. She levelled a look at Draco, who was visibly retreating even as he sat there. "You get to feel sick at what you had to do; it was harrowing. But you do not get to feel guilt or liability. We have talked about this. It was NOT your doing. And if you didn't do what you did, everything we are doing here would have been questioned, scrutinised, and most likely, we both would have been tortured and maimed beyond comprehension." She took Draco's head in her hands. "You saved me from that. And it is heroic even if it is grim as shit."
