"Calm down, were you even listening. She took him back." - Ron
"Well maybe if you bothered to listen you'd know why." - Ginny
"What are you talking about?" - Ron
"Ask me again when you're actually willing to listen to someone else for a change." - Ginny
----------
"It wasn't his fault." - Hermione
"How can you say that, he broke up with you, remember?" - Harry
"He did it for my own good." - Hermione
"What?" - Harry
----------
"So you're back together?" - Blaise
"Yep" - Draco
"Is that wise?" - Blaise
"Nope" - Draco
----------
"His father threatened me." - Hermione
"Threatened you...as in?" - Harry
"As in said he'd kill me if Draco didn't end it." - Hermione
"And now you're back together...are you crazy?" - Harry
----------
"Is she crazy?" - Ron
"She's in love, of course she's crazy." - Ginny
"More like stupid." - Ron
"In a way it's kind of romantic, that they're willing to risk so much to be together." - Ginny
"More like stupid." - Ron
----------
"He should never have told you." - Harry
"And what would you have done, beat him up every time you saw him cause he hurt me. He didn't have a choice." - Hermione
"He had plenty of choices. If he really cared about you he wouldn't have told you." - Harry
"He just can't win with you can he?" - Hermione
----------
"This is ridiculous." - Pansy

----------
"Are you sure you're doing the right thing?" - Ginny
"Sometimes I wonder...." - Hermione
"But?" - Ginny
"But there's so many reasons this feels so right."- Hermione
"Like?" - Ginny
"Like the little things. The way he takes extra notes in potions class just incase I miss something, or the way deliberately he looks for the worst Bernie Bott's Every Flavor Beans so I won't have to eat them, even when he leaves notes in my study books telling me to go to bed cause it's late..." - Hermione
"Okay stop it, you're making me jealous." - Ginny
----------
"Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it." - Draco
"Have you told her this?" - Blaise
"I try but then I realize why I am doing this" - Draco
"Why?"
"Because even the smallest things about her, make me want to hold on just a little bit longer." - Draco
----------
"Has she spoken to you about it?" - Harry
"Of course she has, I seem to be the only one willing to give him the benefit of the doubt." - Ginny
"He doesn't deserve it." - Harry
"And what would you have done in his position? What would you do now,if someone said they'd kill Hermione if you ever went near her again?" - Ginny
"What's that supposed to mean?" - Harry
"It means that you and Malfoy aren't as different as you'd like to think." - Ginny
----------
"Where did we go so wrong?" - Hermione
"We became so wrapped up in our problems, everyone else's problems that we forgot to just be us." - Draco
"Do you think maybe for a little while, we could just be us again?" - Hermione
----------
"They're going to be okay aren't they?" - Ginny
"As long as they're together....They'll never be okay. " - Harry
"That's morbidly depressing." - Ginny
"It's the truth" - Harry
"She's not scared" - Ginny
"Maybe she should be." -Harry
