Scooting even closer to Selina, Kurumi noticed a rather petrified Heather clinging to her book and decided to grab her by the arm. "Psst, Heather," she whispered so as not to startle her too much and cause her fellow Gryffindor to throw her textbook at her or anything. "Come work with us. Selina can speak Latin."

Kurumi pulled out her textbook and flipped through the pages to scan some of the spells listed there. Overhearing Patroclus' idea about transfiguring one's hair into a helmet didn't seem like such a bad idea, so she began to scan her textbook, as well as a Latin dictionary, for anything that may work.

Picking up her quill and parchment, Kurumi jotted down some words that seemed like they would be useful - Selina could check her work later.


Looking up for a moment, Kurumi found herself especially drawn to the last words on her list, and wondered if there was a way to separate them. She supposed she could try and then Selina could come over and correct her butchering of the language.

"Galeoverto Tectum..." she said aloud. It didn't sound too bad. Smiling, she added that to her parchment. Now, what could a potential wand movement be?

Using her quill as a makeshift wand, Kurumi looked at her textbook and closed her eyes for a moment to envision what a helmet looked like. The first thing that popped into her head were old samurai helmets with a crescent moon made out of some sort of metal mounted on the top. Not the most practical in her mind, but it made for some beautiful clothing. Tracing an upside down half circle in the air, Kurumi paused to think about what ought to come next and found herself wanting to jab her quill, so that is what she did.
