"I know, Hermione, I know," he pulls me towards him, wrapping his arms around me. "And I am sorry for the position you are in. Draco means the world to you, everyone knows that, the Dark Lord knows that. He uses him against you. He gets what he wants and I didn’t have a choice when he told me he was going to get married to you. I could only ask if he would wait until you are of age, to marry him. He threatened me, he would torture you and I know he would."
