dit le professeur Mary, d'une voix remplie (chargée, pleine) d'émotion


Explanation:
(le chagrin est implicite dans "émotion", pas besoin de préciser dans ce contexte).

à Mod. Pincement au cœur : sensation brève de douleur et d'angoisse. Þ serrement.

"sensation brève de douleur", ne me paraît pas idéal pour une déclaration qui dure dans le temps. En général, la notion de "pincement au cœur" s'applique davantage à un effet de surprise, une découverte, un choc, pas sur une action continue.
