Gemma then focused on another young lady approaching the table. It was almost like they had been waiting for one to break the ice and then they all followed like ants going towards food.
She smiled at the pretty girl as she was handed the cookies. She glanced at the cookies and was amazed at the details, she softly said, "These are just lovely. I'm not sure if I can eat them because they are just amazing." she said looking up at the girl. She held out her right hand and introduced herself, "I'm Professor Cerulean, History of Magic." she said with her big smile.
"
Pleasure to meet you," Kurumi chirped shyly forgetting the woman's hand for a moment and bowing first and noticing the professor's hand and rushing to take it. "
I'm Kurumi. Kurumi Hollingberry," she said introducing herself. "
I'm a third year in Gryffindor."

She shot her eyes towards Jeremy for a moment, wondering if the girl was addressing them BOTH about their holiday. But it was holidays actually now since they were no longer spending them together.
Avoiding the topic entirely, Kimber pulled her cookie box closer and said, "Thank you so much, Kurumi. That was so very thoughtful of you."
"
You are most welcome," she smiled bowing once more to her Head of House. This was actually one of the few times Kurumi had spoken with the woman and that really was a shame - especially when Professor Zookara recommended that Kurumi speak with her about her family issues. Considering the amount of time Kurumi spent in the library, she really ought to speak more with her. Perhaps even receive some guidance on her research. "Madame Donovan, Lexi told me that you have really helped her a lot during her time here. Perhaps, I could stop by and chat with you sometime?" Kurumi aimlessly kicked at the air and looked down sheepishly.

"
S-S-Sorry!" Kurumi squeaked bowing a few times deeply. "
I didn't mean to offend you, Professor Lafay." She added a few more bows and made a mental note to look up potions using apples at a later date. At least she had been accurate in her analysis.

They'd advanced quite a bit from the beginning of last term, when Kurumi had thought she was Jake's mother. "You're very welcome, and I'm sure Anastasia would welcome another visit," she replied, reading into the girl's flush. Of course, that wasn't difficult, as she remembered pretty much every student who had visited her office last term had admired her phoenix. Everyone except for Ellie, but something told her it had taken the little Ravenclaw a lot to pretend she hadn't noticed either the phoenix or Bowie.
Smiling, Kurumi bowed once more to Professor Bishop. "
I look forward to it. Thank you for your time."

When she finally made her way over to their side of the table and stood before him - and Kimber - Jeremy grinned at her and gave a small nod. "Thank you, Kurumi. And yes, I have." Sort of. Yes. "I'm very happy to hear that. I just want you to know that I'm here for you if you need somebody to talk to again." He offered with a smile, obviously genuinely glad she was feeling better.
And what beautiful cookies she had made! His smile faltered slightly at the mention of Walnut, however. "Oh, lovely." Not really but he had absolutely no clue what else to say.
"
Thank you, Professor Zookara," she blushed looking down at her shoes for a moment and put her right hand into her pocket and began to rummage through it for a small box. "
Oh, I found this for you when I went back to Japan during the last few weeks of the holidays."
Kurumi pushed a
small box across the table. "
I hope you like it," she said as her cheeks flushed a slightly deeper shade of pink.
