It was the correct answer, but as Terry's player, I judged it to be too revealing for this point in the story--more in terms of emotional nakedness than in terms of revealing the specifics of the incident. Terry cares very much about Hermione, and it has always been his instinct to hide from her most of what Amycus does to him, just to avoid upsetting her too much. In a way, the I Solemnly Swear lock has upended his usual strategy in this regard somewhat, because it continually entices him to be more honest than he has ever been before. He wants that, but it terrifies him, too, and he hasn't quite figured out the new boundaries yet.

As his player, I'm still figuring them out, too.
