"I was trying so hard not to," he said, wiping the tears away on the back of his sleeve. "But it was so hard trying to make you understand what was going on without you completely hating me. It was going that route. You're a stubborn git, you know that right?"
He chuckled, nodding his head, then he shrugged his shoulders. "It is. It's going to be completely brilliant once we're done. But you have to promise me, on your life, that this stays between us. You can't tell anyone...not the DA, your family, not even Daphne. Merlin, especially not Daphne. There's too much at risk if we're found out. We're not exactly doing it with the Ministry's blessing. And I know what you're thinking...why me?" Because honestly, he was still wondering the same thing.
"We're all thinking that. The group of us are in no way the people you would think would be behind something like this. But we all know the risks and we're all willing to sacrifice ourselves to help out the cause."
