More memories decided to stage a little reunion tour in her mind. What had that woman told her in Diagon Alley, nearly a year ago? Kiri's face felt even more flushed than before. Raiden's slow breaths were noticeable on her own skin.

This, she was sure, was the proverbial it. She'd either... kiss Raiden now, or leave it and berate herself over it for the rest of the summer holidays. Or she'd do it, and Raiden would be terribly upset, and she'd be even harsher on herself.
Kiri knew that if she spent any more time thinking about it, she'd chicken out. And for once in her life, it was certain that thinking would not be to her advantage. She moved her right hand away from Raiden's mouth. It was trembling so badly that the sleeve of her robes she'd used slid back on its own. A second later, she was holding his chin with both hands and sliding as close to him as she could.

"Raiden," Kiri breathed, practically out of her mind with fright and excitement. "I..." She didn't know what to say. She leaned forward and gently brushed her lips against his for a moment.
Raiden's entire body had tensed up so much that his stomach muscles were starting to hurt. He'd thought he'd grown used to being around Kiri; her gentle, accidental brushes against his arms had ceased setting off the weird electricity that had seemed constant in Diagon Alley and the beginning of term. Apparently, however, he was wrong. Little shocks were resonating from her fingertips, into his skin, making his entire face turn pink with a tingly blush. Apparently he was still just as 'allergic' to her as he had been before.

Or moreso, as she proved to him a moment later.

He opened his eyes when she said his name, and immediately realised that her face was far closer than it had ever, ever been before. And it kept getting closer-

...

...

Some kind of mental death had just taken place. Everything in the world had very briefly gone fuzzy and white. His lips were... touching Kiri's lips. That was... that was... KISSING?!

Right?

He stayed stone-still for a moment before leaning back ever-so-slightly. All the thoughts in his head were traffic-jammed. Only two escaped: Kiri had just KISSED HIM.

And Celandine Toussaint was never, never wrong.
