I Know
"I hate you."
"I know."
"I can't love you."
"I know."
"I don't want to love you."
"I know."
"I don't love you."
"I know."
"Why is that all you say to me?"
"Because I don't hate you. Because I can love you. Because I want to love you. Because I do love you."
"What?"
"I love you."

"Sev'rus?"
"Yes, Harry?"
"Me, too."
