"Are you going to do it?" A question.

"I don't have a choice." An answer.

"I can help you. We can get through this without you becoming a murderer!"

"Don't you see, Hermione?" A horrible question. "And I thought you were supposed to be the brightest witch of our age. He'll kill them. He'll kill my parents!"


"Are you going to defend them, Harry?" A question.

"No." An answer.

"Harry, please! Yes, they were terrible people, but they did good things! She defied Voldemort, Harry; Narcissa Malfoy saved your life! And Draco... well, he pretended not to know who we were at the Manor."

"Hermione, what are your real intentions? Why do you not want them to go toAzkaban?" Two impossible questions.

"I love him."


"Hermione, will you marry me?" A question.

"Yes. I love you." An answer.

"I love you, too."


"Hermione Jean Granger, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" A question.

"I do." A promise.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" A question.

"I do." A lie.

"You may kiss the bride."


"Hermione, do you want kids?" A question. "Little Grangers and Malfoys running around our apartment with blond curly hair?"

"Sounds perfect." An answer.

"Are you sure your ready?" A question.

"Of course." A commitment.


"We lost our baby?" A question.

"I'm afraid so." An answer. "Muggles call it a miscarriage. I'm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy."

"Isn't there a potion or a spell to bring her back? I'll do anything!" A promise.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy, but surely you know that even wizarding magic cannot bring back the dead."


"Are you okay, Hermione?" A question.

"No!" An answer. "For God's sake, Draco, I just killed our baby!"

"Kill our baby... oh Merlin. You didn't kill our baby! Miscarriages just happen, love."

"Our baby girl is dead! And nothing is going to bring her back!"

"Hermione, you said that you were ready. Being ready means that you can't blame yourself every time something goes wrong." An accusation.

"Well, maybe I wasn't ready then!"

A pause, then a question."Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Just leave me alone." An answer.


"Draco, do you still love me?"A question.

"Hmmm." An answer.

"Draco?"


"Draco, have you been cheating on me?" A question.

No answer.
