"No. I-" He seemed to be struggling to find words. "I know that what Ron and I did was wrong, and that you probably won’t ever forgive us for it, but believe it or not Hermione, we still care about you.  I still care about you. I just- I need to know if you’re going to be alright. I’m not naive enough to believe you don’t already know that the law is being repealed; hell, I would stake my fortune on you having been responsible. But I need to know that when this is all over, and everyone is free to divorce, and marry who they please, you are going to be happy." Hermione looked at him with a mixture of pity and reproach. He truly had no idea that it was her who had put such a strain on his friendships, on his marriage.
