"You'll be brilliant, don't be a silly. And if you aren't, then I'll give you a wink and you can straighten up and be brillianter." She practiced an exaggerated wink, designed to make him laugh, more than for actual effect. "And Muggles..." He was looking uncomfortable about this too. "Muggles are like us when it comes to affairs of the heart."

After four years, Thornton was used to the excessive hugging that seemed to happen. And so his discomfort was markedly less than she might have assumed. The exaggerated wink did indeed draw a laugh and Thornton nodded. "Ok, ok. I'll keep that in mind."

He shrugged, though, at her comments about the book. He wouldn't know what muggles did or didn't like or dislike.
