For a moment, Kate just watched Hermione, her eyes growing wider, a smile twitching at the corners of her mouth as she tried to bite it back. It wasn't the sort of thing she was supposed to laugh at, she figured, but it was also kind of impossible not to find it at least a little bit funny. The whole thing was funnier still, knowing that Harry hadn't breathed a word of it to her himself, probably trying to forget that it had ever happened.
"Oh, my god," she burst out finally, then clapped both her hands over her mouth, eyes widening further as she muffled her giggles as best she could. "I'm sorry," she said, the words coming through cracks between her fingers. "I'm sorry, it's totally not funny, but..." But it was. And it made a hell of a story for them to tell down the road, when it was less fresh and everyone could laugh about it.
For a second, Kate tried to picture Ron's face in such a situation, then dissolved into giggles again. "Tell me it hasn't freaked him out so much that he's not gonna try it again," she said, finally getting a hold of herself and looking up at Hermione. "Because dudes can be weird about shit like that."
