"Look," he started, setting down his drink, "I am sorry. I am sure that seeing my name this morning was... honestly horrible for you. I know our history is unsavoury, to say the least, and that is mostly my doing. I truly and deeply apologise for every single comment I’ve made to you about your blood status, and every untrue and unkind thing I said about your appearance. I was, and honestly still am sometimes, a git, and you did not deserve a single thing I said to you. You honestly deserve a husband who is far less of a coward than myself, and would have done something rather than nothing when you were... tortured. I am truly sorry, and will never forgive myself for everything that has happened between us. I do honestly think you deserve far better than me, and I hope you know that I will fight with you against this law because that is the right thing to do, and I have spent too much of my life not doing that. Please, just don’t send me back to Azkaban," he finished.
