"I will protect you and our son with the last drop of blood in my body. I am not afraid to kill or maim or kidnap or do all of the horrible tasks that must be done to make certain my family gets through this in the end. If that means I have to keep the truth from you to keep you from running out there and trying to be brave and foolish before you are ready, then I will. You may never be that warrior again, Hermione. That's all right. Let me be it for you."
