‘Don’t you understand how Cho’s feeling at the moment?’ she [Hermione, SA] asked.
‘No’, said Harry and Ron together.
Hermione sighed and laid down her quill. ‘Well, obviously, she’s feeling
very sad, because of Cedric dying. Then I expect she’s feeling
confused because she liked Cedric and now she likes Harry and she can’t work out who she likes best. Then she’ll be
feeling guilty, thinking it is an insult to Cedric’s memory to be kissing Harry at all, and she’ll be
worrying about what everyone else might say about her if she starts going out with Harry. And she probably can’t work out what her feelings towards Harry are, anyway, because he was the one who was with Cedric when Cedric died, so that’s all
very mixed up and painful. Oh, and she’s
afraid of going to be thrown off the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, because she’s been flying so badly.’
A slightly stunned silence greeted the end of this speech, then Ron said, ‘One person can’t feel all this at once, they’d explode.’
‘Just because you’ve got the emotional range of a teaspoon, doesn’t mean we all have,’ said Hermione nastily, picking up her quill again.
