Minerva sighed. "Of course, I'm serious. It's the only option. If she won't tell you the information, take it from her."
"Minerva, how can you even suggest that? She's not some spy or enemy; she's my wife!"
"But, Severus, she won't tell the truth so you can to help her. You desperately want to help her, I can see that. Even she can see that," Minerva added, "but she still won't tell you."
Minerva's suggestion and her responses were so unlike her, Severus was at a loss for words.
