Some people might be willing to forgive her for her actions simply because of her potions addiction, but Hermione thought that wasn't right. She should never be given a free pass simply because she allowed the potions to consume her life. Maybe they would've believed she'd only acted the way she had because she was in the throes of a serious addiction. It just simply wasn't the truth. Even before she started accepting the potions from Rabastan that would consume her soul, she didn't want to have children. Not once in her entire life could she even remember a time that she did want them. If she even allowed herself to consider becoming a mother before the war ended and her former life did too, she merely thought children were an inevitability that she couldn't escape. One day when she was comfortable in her position at the Ministry she would consider having a child. But once she faced the world post-Harry, she wanted to be a mother even less. Drinking too many potions was not a good enough excuse for terminating her pregnancies without her husband's knowledge and lying about them. Or murdering an innocent woman to keep the secret. She'd made the decision and she had to live with the consequences.
