"If you were to talk to her," he said, pausing to light his cigarette. "She would tell you I deceived her with an offer of marriage I wasn't in a position to follow up on, agreed to the marriage under false pretenses, committed bigamy, stole her virtue, and ruined her life." That was just about the gist of it, wasn't it? He wasn't sure there was anything else she could reasonably accuse him of — but ruining her life did cover a multitude of sins. "And now she's blackmailing the Minister of Magic for hush money, I suppose. I don't know; I asked her what she was doing in England and she wouldn't answer me, but Oz says she's threatened him."
