“Did you kiss?” asked Hermione
briskly.
Ron sat up so fast that he
sent his ink bottle flying all over the rug.
Disregarding this completely he stared avidly at Harry.
“Well?” he demanded.
Harry looked from Ron’s
expression of mingled curiosity and hilarity to Hermione’s slight frown, and
nodded.
“HA!”
Ron made a triumphant gesture
with his fist and went into a raucous peal of laughter that made several
timid-looking second years over beside the window jump. A reluctant grin spread over Harry’s face as
he watched Ron rolling around on the hearthrug.
Hermione gave Ron a look of deep disgust and returned to her letter.
“Well?” Ron said finally,
looking up at Harry. “How was it?”
Harry considered for a moment.
“Wet,” he said truthfully.
