She had hoped that by changing the topic to a more serious matter Kurumi would understand her dilemma. Unfortunately Kurumi was confused by Selina's allusion. "That sounds interesting. You got your Mom involved in your work at Hogwarts. That's a big step Kurumi."
Finally Kurumi got it and Selina nodded slowly, "Yeah I could use a partner to help me with the subject. I can't seem to be able to control the study habits of it. I can only really focus when my body wants to. I wish I could make myself focus whenever I wanted."
"
Not really," Kurumi said rather point blank. What? She was just being honest.
"
Well, I had to ask her in a way that made is unrelated to Hogwarts," she shrugged. If she had come out saying that she was asking things related to Hogwarts classes, her mother would probably have kicked her out of the house for at least a week. "
I'll help where I can," she smiled. "
Father gave me a few pointers this summer that should help with studying techniques."

"Would you mind... helping me study some this term. I want to do better in my classes... and I need help focusing," she said timidly.

"
Maybe," she laughed tossing her head around a bit and her black locks falling over her shoulders. "
Me...a Prefect...almost hard to imagine," she blushed. Some would say that she was probably just fishing for compliments, but it really was remarkable to think that someone who had been as timid as she had been could have grown THAT much in three years time.
"
I'd love to," Kurumi nodded. "
I am actually going to go over notes tonight before I go to bed. Magical theory I am pretty good at, but I think you are much better at the practical application. We can help each other."
