Merlin, Katie wasn't even sure where that had come from. She knew the hug was only met to comfort her, but it had felt so nice and then she'd been looking into his eyes and she really really really didn't want him to go because he was Charlie, and then- Well, then she'd kissed him.
And she was about to pull back even farther because he was just sort of staring at her, but then he pressed a finger to her lip, and she smiled faintly at the sight of a real smile on his lips finally. "I-" She started to answer, but was distracted by the way his hand brushed over her skin to her shoulder, and then down to her knee again. Oh. She gave the faintest little shiver before regaining her composure to say, "I was apologizing because I thought maybe you didn't want me to kiss you?" Oh come on, Katie. Be a Gryffindor. "Only I hope you liked it, because well, I definitely did and I kind of want to do it again, unless you're going to be all grossed out or something and push me away." There.
