This was nothing like the kiss under the mistletoe with Cho. This was like flying--exhilarating, and free. But like all things of the sort, it had to come to an end. He was losing breath fast, so he pulled back, keeping his eyes closed for a moment, relishing in the atmosphere.
"We'll save our news for tomorrow, shall we?" said Harry, with a wink that made it clear he wasn't only talking about Grawp.
"Yes, all right," agreed Hermione, blushing. "Though I'm not in any hurry.... For Grawp or what just happened with us."
He grabbed her hand and they climbed the steps together.
