He just shrugged his shoulders not being able accept her gratitude, considering what followed after that. But he couldn’t sit in guilt either. So he got up from the bed and made it all the way across to the door before finally turning around and saying, "I was scared for all of you too. I wished you would make it back safe. In a different time, different circumstances I would have stopped her from cursing you. But I was more scared for my family. I was more scared Potter wouldn’t win and the consequences I would face. I was more scared that the Dark Lord would kill my father and I would have to make all the choices I have been complaining all along weren’t mine to make. I was more scared I would become just like him. So don’t thank me Hermione. I am still scared.’
