Everyone laughed. They all preferred the marshmallow idea too! Boo suggested that they ought to try it out before their party, just to make sure that it would work alright, not because it meant extra marshmallows of course!
Boo set it up and invited Charlie to be the first to try it. "You have to hold your paws behind your back all the time!" ordered Boo, "otherwise it's much too easy!"
Charlie dutifully put his paws behind his back and reached over to the marshmallow hanging temptingly within reach, but as soon as his lips touched the marshmallow it swung away as it was so light in weight! He had to pursue it several times before he eventually managed to get his mouth around it. But he assured everyone that it was worth the wait!
"What other games can we play?" asked Harry. "I'm not really keen on all the big bangs of the fireworks outside, and even though I like the bright colours from the sparklers, I'm a bit scared to hold one myself." He sighed.
