Parvati's heart broke a little at Draco's quiet tone. She honestly loved the blonde with an intensity she hadn't known was possible, and to think that he felt so wronged by her, made her heart clench painfully.
"No, Draco." She said firmly, reaching over and cupping his face in her hands, lifting it so their eyes met. "In our past there were times when I was completely blind. I assumed that you would be like the light hearted prince in all the storybooks and well, it wasn't that way. You reacted in ways that broke my heart and the words I had used in defense to you were then used against me by those who witnessed what had happened. I'm well aware that even those times are gone as well. And I don't bring it up to hurt either of us, but to say that although everything is completely forgiven and ....well, to be honest, the bad times were what made you and I, so in someways I can love them as well ... but it is impossible to forget them completely."
"I'm not trying to excuse myself." She continued, hiccoughing as her tears had renewed, "I was in the wrong here, but sometimes a reactive instinct is not a thought process. ... Draco, I love you. I love you probably more than even you can understand, and you're my husband. You and I are one. I apologized to Jacob because you physically attacking him like that is the same as if I did it, and I wouldn't want to do that because ....because I still feel guilty about how...how I hurt him."
"You are a good man." She sobbed, "I don't assume you're the bad guy. I just know that no one is perfect. And because you're my husband, you are a part of me and ...I make mistakes all the time. I made a mistake today. And my first instinct is to snap at myself. And then I did it to you...and I didn't realise that I had been."
