He stood awhile waiting for a response but something seemed to have distressed her. "It's okay, the noise wasn't that bad... I suppose." Eino attempted to console her, thinking she had been frightened by the sound, too.
Kurumi came out of her daze when Eino spoke to her a second time. "
Wha---? Oh, yeah sorry," she said grabbing the book and staring at the picture there with unbelieving eyes. "
Eino...this man...he's...he's...he's my father," she said pointing to the picture.
What did this mean? She had always known her father was a pureblood wizard, but what did it mean that he came from the house of Gaunt? Eino seemed to know the name and even said that they were one of the last remaining pureblood families in England.
Kurumi didn't even notice her hair was now navy by this point. That seemed like the least of her worries right now.
