I think you should trust yourself more. What do you think it is, then?
I love you too. Odd tingle, you say? Only from time to time?
Well, I reckon it's because you're naked - not in just the physical sense but I reckon that part lends a hand to it some, sure - but when you're with someone like that, you can't hide your motivation or your feelings. It's honest because it gives you no choice. You've no jokes to hide behind, no blushes, no hair, no words. It is what it is and you can't bloody fake your way through it.
I wasn't thinking of it like that, but I reckon it could be, yeah. It's intense for me as well, Padma. You've no ruddy idea.
You plan on swaying me to agree with you on everything? That's one hell of a challenge, that is. Right. Not as important as you. What is it exactly I need saving from?
No apologies, Padma. You're not putting undue stress on me. This is all part of the deal we signed on for, right?
I don't quite follow you. Did she do something dangerous or what?
Well... to which one are you even referring? Sex- a shag, a simple act? Or... being intimate? Making love, I suppose.
Well- yes. I reckon- I suppose- maybe it's... arousal. Bloody hell. It's... when you've touched me for awhile. A- combination, I suppose, of your lips, your hands, your body... Merlin.
...right. That's what- for me, anyway- always made the idea of it seem- serious. Sacred. It's- the ultimate closeness I can give, to take- to take you-
Somehow, I reckon I might.
...why do you always say that, Mike? What makes me so much more ruddy important than you? Perhaps from your low opinion of yourself, for starters.
We did? I mean- you'll tell me- if it's ever too much?
...no, not really. Though, her close proximity to- people like Harry Potter- worries me, sometimes. But really, my- issue with her has little to do with that.
I think- I know- we're being intimate. And I think- I don't know much about the physical act, but- if it's anything like what we've been doing, it's- an overflow of emotions. As- I feel you around me, loving me, and- I hope you feel that way too. And then... we just let go.
...yes, Mike. Yes, I like it.
And Mike. I want to share that with you, too. I really- truly- do.
But I love you. Doesn't that count for something? I'm just reporting what I witness, Mr Corner. Perhaps you've a rare case.
Sometimes- yes. Sometimes I think you'd- sacrifice too much for me.
We've not been getting along, and I miss her; that's the cusp of it.

Do you like it?
That's what I want to share with you.
I love you, that's what. Thought it were impossible for people with Swollen Head Syndrome to have low opinions of themselves.
Do you think I wouldn't?
Reckon it's good thing then she's not as close to him as Hermione or Weasley are. Or Ginny, for that matter. What is your issue then?
