"What are you babbling about, Severus?"
"I'm talking about Hermione. About my colleague loosing her appetite. About her animation, at breakfast, when the owls fly in, and her sadness when there's no letter from you."
"Even so…"
"Lucius. She wants you. She loves you. She's surrendering. Work it out, or I'll cut your balls off for her."
