The redheaded witch swallowed, "I wanted to apologize to you. I’m not going to attempt to explain why I didn’t tell you, because I should have. I was wrong. It doesn’t matter, in the slightest, that Ron is my brother. What he did to you..." She shook her head, "What you lost..." she sighed, "I am so truly sorry, Hermione. I understand that you can’t forgive me, just like you can’t forgive Ron, but I am sorry, and I hope you know that I mean that."
