"No, what was killing you was not knowing."
"You married me-"
"Yes I did. Brilliant observation."
"Hermione... You married me so you must believe I love you."
"Well... Damn it, Severus, of course, I believed you loved me then."
"Loved?"
"Yes, I wouldn't have married you otherwise. And I certainly do love you; however, don't excuse your actions."
"My actions?"
"Your invasion in my mind and you hurting me, of course."
"I didn't ask to excuse them."
"Oh?"
"No, I asked, because I didn't mean to hurt you."
"It sure as hell felt like you meant to hurt me."
