„What the hell was that for?" he cried, covering his cheek with his left hand.
They stared at each other, both too stunned to realise what just happened.
"I...well, I don't know... I was just... Kind of shocked, maybe?" suggested the pale, skinny boy.
"So am I" muttered the black-haired boy.
"But...well, it was YOU who did it so there's no point YOU'd be shocked..."
"Well, Moony, you should've known me long enough to be aware that I seldom think before acting..."
"Probably... But this was just beyond my imagination..."
"Hey, you didn't stop me in the first place!"
"I was too shocked!"
"You weren't for the first five minutes!"
"But I didn't realise what you did!"
"Obviously you didn't realise what YOU did as well" answered the black-haired one sarcastically.
"No! I mean, yes! I mean... What the hell WAS I doing?"
"You hit me!"
"Well, I know I did THAT, thanks. But before that..."
"Come
on, is it that hard to understand? I kissed you, you kissed me
back... And then you hit me! What was that for?"
"I...I don't
know...something seemed...wrong, I suggest?"
"I love you, what's wrong about that?"
"Well... nothing, I suppose... But nevertheless..."
"Do you love me back?"
"Well...I... well, yes, in fact I think I do!"
They continued staring at each other, the message had not sunk in yet...
A harsh voice spoke to them and they realised that there was another person present... Come to think about it, MANY other persons...
"Very well, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, now that you figured this out I am sure you will gladly return to my question... Mr. Black, what would you do if I put some Veritaserum in your pumpkin juice? And do not DARE to kiss Mr. Lupin again...Although it was a most impressing image I would be glad to be able to continue my lesson!"
