Now it was Kurumi's turn to stare at the girl in disbelief. "
H-H-How did you know my mother and I don't have the best of relationships?" she asked nervously. She hadn't said anything just now, only thought it.

Almost as if he were afraid to do it, he put a comforting arm around her shoulders. Awkward, yes. "There's always a chance he'll coms back. I mean, hasn't he written to you or anyhting?"
Kurumi smiled bravely at the second year and rested one of her hands on his arm ."
I suppose there is always a chance," she said quietly. Then, her smile faded and her violet gaze returned to the fire. "
No..." she said simply. "
I haven't received a single letter from him..."

'I don't know yet what that may be, though. In fact, the Sorting Hat wanted to put me into Ravenclaw, but I pleaded for Gryffindor.' the firstie confessed.
'Wow, so everything besides Hufflepuff. Sounds like an amazing family.' Ari commented. 'I find genealogy fascinating, I'd like to track down my ancestors.' she mused.
"
Tell you a secret," Kurumi smiled leaning in a bit closer to the first year and lowering her voice. "
I kind of did too." She then threw her head back and giggled. "
Someone once told me that courage comes in many forms. What images we associate with courage, may not be the way that it manifests itself in ourselves." She looked over her shoulder at Ari. "
I'm still trying to find my inner Gryffindor courage as well. We can try to discover that together."
Kurumi laughed again. She had never really thought about it that way, but it did seem to be that no one had ever bragged about their family coming from a long line of Hufflepuffs. "
Really?" Kurumi squeaked feeling a bit interested. Her family history was rather easy to trace back, at least on her mother's side. "
I...I have been doing a bit of family research myself. D-D-Do you have any tips or advice on how to do genealogy efficiently?"

"a pretty, young lady like you,shouldn't be standing up" John said so galantly.
"uh-errr...I'm John, i don't think i've properly introduced myself to you..." he said with a wink.
This boy had a bright smile, but it was still nothing compared to Treyen's. No need to bring out the sunglasses for this Gryffindor yet.
"
Y-Y-You don't like sweets?!" Kurumi gasped, perhaps a little louder than was really necessary for the situation. Well, she supposed that ruled out offering him any of her Gryffindor house cookies.
"
I don't see why I can't be sitting down," she replied tilting to head to the side. She wasn't sure what looks had to do with where one sat, but she was comfortable enough on the floor. Much easier access to the fire as well.
"
I'm Kurumi, Kurumi Hollingberry," she blushed, bowing her head a bit in greeting. "
A-A-Are you a transfer student? I-I don't believe I have seen you around Hogwarts before."

"
I'm half actually," she nodded shyly. "
My mother is Japanese and my father is British."

"Would you like a partner for practice?" Selina asked sheepishly.
Tugging on her hair some more and her legs flailing just a bit as if she were trying to run away while sitting down. After taking a few, silent, deep breaths, Kurumi managed to compose herself enough to look Selina straight in the eye. "
Y-Y-Yes please..."
SPOILER!!: Legend XD

Without any thought Legend jumped up onto the coffee table and began to wave his hands around like mad. "ALRIGHT LISTEN UP! I WANT EVERYONE'S ATTENTION FOR A FEW MINUTES!" His voice boomed loudly through the room without even a charm. Looking around to make sure at least some people were paying attention he began to speak. "Hello. Good evening. Now many of you may know me by my name- Legend Chosen. While others might know me as 'that guy who lost of 15 points at the opening feast.' And that's pretty true. I AM that guy who lost 15 points at the feast. HOWEVER, to be really honest with you I think I did you all I favor. I did not lose points for speaking back, or pulling pranks, or flirting with Professors." Flirting with Professors. That was just mad. "I lost points for something that there was no rule agaisnt. I lost points because I sat down with the staff on the other side of the staff table. So in all honesty I did you lot a favor. Now you know it's agaisnt the rules, whereas it was in that uncertain gray area before. So BE HAPPY and stop acting like a bunch of whiny brats." And that was all. He jumped down from the table, hoping that, that was the end of everything.
After all it was so easy to earn 15 points back.
Kurumi decided to keep her thoughts to herself and returned her gaze to her second marshmallow attempt. Surely it was implied that unless you were STAFF you could not sit at the STAFF table. At least he hadn't tried to take the Headmaster's seat as well. Gryffindor would probably be down some hundred points or so.
