"I felt somewhat betrayed," she finally whispers, looking down at her boots. "After the night at the Manor that feeling manifested, I think. Not to mention that you suddenly climbed the Death Eater career ladder. For years, I believed in your innocence. Persuaded myself that you were better than you let everyone believe. Even found you, well, kind of attractive. Hence the huge disappointment. I wasn't necessarily disappointed in you, though, but rather in myself. I always thought I had a good knowledge of human nature and then you turned out to be the villain. I was ashamed that I defended you so often and even felt sorry for you. That I found you cute at times, even though you were nowhere near nice to me. I felt like the most foolish girl in the world. It's probably silly, but the thorn ran pretty deep."
