What does 'drawn right back' mean, especially 'right' in it?
“This is really funny and everything,” said Harry impatiently,
“but joke’s over, all right? Drop it.”
He turned to leave; he had got two steps toward the door when
a crashing blow hit him on the right ear. Staggering, he looked
around. Ron’s fist was drawn right back; his face was contorted
with rage; he was about to strike again.
