Harry Returns to the Common Room in a State of Shock

PAGES: 457-460

Harry returns to the Gryffindor common room after his kiss with Cho, feeling shocked and confused. Hermione is writing a long letter, and Ron is finishing his Transfiguration homework. When they ask Harry what happened, he remains silent, unsure how to express what he experienced. Hermione immediately guesses that Cho kissed him, much to Ron's amusement. Harry confirms this, and Ron bursts into laughter, while Hermione provides a more thoughtful analysis of Cho's complicated feelings about Cedric and Harry.
