"I don't," she said as calmly as she could, fingers closed over his still, very tight because she needs him not to pull away. "In fact, no – I do. If not for all this, then there's no way that I would...want you. But I don't think it's because of some Stockholm Syndrome effect – I think it's because if I hadn't been captured I wouldn't have gotten to know you, and discovered that you've changed. That you're someone that...that I could care about." She takes a deep breath and adds: "A lot." Malfoy is silent for a long, long moment when she finishes, unable to meet her eyes. But he doesn't pull his hand away from hers – not yet. There is shame in his eyes, and so much guilt and self-loathing it hurts to look at him.
