Hermione let out a low breath. "I know you have a lot of guilt, but you’ve been conditioned to think a certain way. For most of your life, actually. So you deserve the chance to really live for once. To live not in the shadow of your family name or the Death Eaters, but for yourself and for us. The circumstances that brought us together will always be dark. But somehow, this mess brought me to you and you to me. And I’ll always be grateful for that."
