"Yes. It does sound horrid." On several levels, in fact – not only did it remind Draco of what he'd done far too clearly, but it was also just such a depressingly pragmatic approach for Hermione to take. She shouldn't have to live like that, with people constantly reminding her of the horrible things the person she was with had done during the war. Draco knew that if he had any damn bollocks whatsoever he'd leave her again and make it clean and final this time, but he still didn't have the willpower. He wondered why she bothered, why she didn't just end it when there were all these things stacking up against her happiness. He asked her that haltingly, half-afraid of what her answer would be, and she gave him a raw, bloodshot stare.
