I do it because I knew we had to be together, he said. And you had to be protected at any cost, Hermione. I knew it made you hate me. I knew it eroded any potential trust between us. I didn’t care. I didn’t know how much time we would have together, and I was willing to do anything to buy even ten seconds more with you. I know I was wrong. I still don’t regret it, because I see what we are now, and what we have, and I don’t feel sorry.
