The Dark Lord did not disgrace the suffering teenager by offering pretty but meaningless words. Instead, he opted for the truth. "Yes, you are. But you are precious to me because you have given me my life back. You were willing to sacrifice yourself for your friends, for all of Britain just so that muggles, half-bloods and purebloods could live and thrive. You reminded me, what my crusade against the Ministry was all about, and I value our moments. Even those when you defy me."
