Snorting Harry said, "Does it make you feel better that I've broken down in front of Pansy twice already then in the two months I've been there?" Harry asked sarcastically.
Shaking his head slightly he commented, "Almost sounds as if you're trying to throw me at Pansy as well. Malfoy already is." Couldn't think of any other reason why Malfoy would say Pansy wanted to fuck him. Probably just trying to find more ways to get Harry to do what he wanted.
When he saw the look on Severus's face after saying he couldn't stop caring he felt like a scolded school boy. For some reason he believed it more when Severus said it, likely because he knew Severus understood some of the things he seen and done, from experience, unlike most of the others.
"Sometimes I wonder though," Harry half heartedly persisted as he met Severus's eyes. "I could have dueled a Lestrange during the battle at the park. He was torturing Fleur, instead of dueling him I saved her." He sighed, "I know I couldn't have not saved her and lived with that, I know that." He said more empathically, "But a part of me still wonders that maybe if I hadn't cared I could have fought him and won. Made a step in ending this war."
