"So I don't tell any more 'lies'."
"So why did you just lie twice?" Hermione asked him, and his heart panged when he saw her tear-streaked face. "Don't cry 'Mione-"
"This is a pointless, stupid punishment!" she growled angrily, and set her teeth. "Come on; let's get you some Murtlap Essence."
"I don't need it, Hermione."
"Stop lying to me!"
