Hermione couldn't disguise the hurt that his words inflicted. "Then why the hell did you bring me down here?"
"To say goodbye." His eyes were sincere as he looked her with affection.
The word twisted at her heart; she didn't want to think about that. "We aren't saying goodbye."
"You said no to running away with me."
Hermione bit her lip as tears gathered in her eyes. She couldn't let him go. Not without her by his side. "I'll go."
She had whispered the words without looking at him. His fingers gently lifted her chin and his eyes met hers.
