"That’s what I’m here for. That and to whip your arse into shape when you’re being ridiculous. You know, Harry alluded to this whole Malfoy situation and gave me a talking to saying to leave you alone about it. Very older brotherly... except you’re older than him so I don’t know how that works. Anyway, my point is you have people that love and support you and have seen you quite clearly for much longer than you probably want to admit. I don’t believe the sorry git deserves your attention, Hermione, but I also know that you are one of the most brilliant and authentic people I’ve ever met, not to mention trustworthy. So, if there’s something you see there that we don’t, well, I’ll just have to sit back and watch it all unfold, won’t I?"
