[That gets a smile out of her, too. It's not exactly what she wanted- We all know Tamamo's desires here, thirstiest fox alive, etc- But seeing Hermione's face light up like that is enough to make her feel happy. She's making her happy, and that's what's most important to her.]

And maybe one day, more than that!

[... Of course, she's basically allergic to serious scenes, so she has to ruin it at least a little.

But she doesn't seem to pay her own flirting any mind anymore, dropping it to become a bit more subdued again.]

... I might not be very good at this "Partners" thing at first, but please bear with me, okay? I'll try my hardest.

[She'll try hard. Even if Hermione won't abandon her, she has to meet the kindness she's being given with all of her efforts.]
