"I’ve never found a woman so intriguing before. I think we are exceptionally compatible and I find myself fascinated with you. Perhaps one day, if we decide we’re suited we might marry. I don’t play games, Hermione. I do not trifle with women. My interest is serious and sincere. I know the Dark Lord would look ill on me if I decided to trifle with you or treat whatever is between us with anything other than the utmost respect. He’s taken quite a shine to you."
