Hermione felt a bit of anger stirred at his laugh and his words. "Screw what they think," she said a bit louder than she meant to, and completely out of character with her normal self. "Ron, when are you going to get that you are the most important person to me? I don't care what anyone else thinks or if they want me to come back, or if they've moved on without me, I don't care!" One way or another she was going to make sure he got this.
"It's not fair that we have to do this, not in the least, not after everything we've already had to do, but no one has as much experience with this kind of shite than we do, and unfortunately that means we're stuck doing it, but Ron I can't... I can't do this alone. I can't do this without you, I know that's unfair, but it's true."
