Neville grinned at her. "Harry cares for you more deeply than you have ever, or likely will ever, know. Perhaps more deeply than he'd ever be able to confess to you. This isn't new. He always has. But you know Harry, he's still as stupid as ever where his emotions are concerned. Cant blame him, really. Our bond allowed us to share memories ... and fuck me, Hermione ... the abuse he had to put up with as a child! I'm amazed he formed even the most basic of relationships after that. Living in a bloody cupboard for eleven years ... eleven years, Hermione! How could anyone do that to a child?"
