"Yes, I remember," Gwen replied, giving Steve a playful knock with her elbow in reprimand. "But you were little then. I mean, how much do kids really do when they're that young? You can't tell me you were climbing ladders to hang bunting in the rafters with… Oh, I don't know, rope? String? Chewing gum? What do Muggles use for things like that?" She laughed, easy but self-deprecating, with a shake of her head. "And to think, I was so proud that I got top marks in Muggle Studies."
She still remembered how small Steve had been when they'd first begun at Hogwarts—The smallest and most frail of all the boys, really, and many of the girls, too. It was ridiculous, but she felt a tiny flash of anxiety thinking of little Steve wobbling atop a towering ladder. Glancing sidelong, she reminded herself that an uncanny growth spurt had ensured he was plenty sturdy now.
