"And it was like I could breathe for the first time.  The sense of searing pain was pushed back, and I knew...I knew I was going to be okay, I was going to survive," she trailed off, turning to look directly at Draco for the first time since she entered the room.  "I know what legilimency feels like; I’ve experimented with it and occlumency enough to know how it feels.  So even though I certainly could have survived that torture on my own, I believe the fact that I’m sitting here today, rather than in a catatonic state at St. Mungo’s, is due to Mr. Malfoy’s interference, for his use of legilimency to protect my mind.  And for that I am incredibly grateful."
