It seemed that Muggles they had their own crazy people ready to kill, but he didn't know enough to comment and didn't want to antagonise her by saying something stupid. "Yes, they suck the happiness from you just by being close. They don't make you kill yourself, but with no happiness- If they kiss you, then you lose your soul."
He reached over and cupped her cheek, careful not to touch her missing ear. "I'll do what I can, but I don't want you used for bait. You've been put through enough. We'll find a way without putting you in danger."
James didn't like what he was hearing. It didn't help that he would have said the exact same thing if he were in her place. "You're infuriating," he said instead, pulling his head away. "Seriously, why can't you be a little more selfish." He sighed. "What about getting out of here for a bit? We can do that. It doesn't even have to be today. We'll let Nott know and we'll go out so you won't be so bored."
