In typical older brother fashion, he was eying the Hufflepuff distrustfully. The words kissing and whilst in conversation with a boy? Alarm bells were certainly going off, even if he'd probably misunderstood the situation. Were his sisters really of the age to start thinking about stuff like that? Did he need to check in with Maya as well?

But then Lisa bet him he wouldn't kiss a toad, and he scoffed as his eyes went from the previous distrust to disbelief. "You would bet right. I'd rather not waste my fir..., uh a kiss on something slimy." But that led to the question now forefront on his mind, "Would YOU? They might not want to be kissed. And it's not likely there would be any type of benefits to doing so."

Except perhaps that first year offering to pay the Hufflepuff to do so.
