Kurumi’s cheeks flushed a deeper shade of pink as each new student made their appearance. Thankfully, no one seemed to noticed her standing there with her hand pressed against the red X on the wall. She had half expected herself to be transported somewhere, like a Portkey, or for some hidden door to reveal itself and was a little disappointed when it didn’t happen. Probably for the best. She didn’t want to get eaten by a basilisk.

Eventually, someone did take notice of her being stuck to the wall as if someone had cast a Permanent Sticking Charm on her hand. “Y-Y-Yes,” she said smiling nervously at Vashti as she tried to remove her hand. Kurumi pulled as hard as she could, but feared that she would pull her arm from its shoulder socket if she pulled any harder. Perhaps she needed to use her feet as leverage against the wall? She would risk falling onto her back, but if it meant her hand would be free, then she wouldn’t mind too much.

Then, Kurumi’s eyes widened when she saw Sierra appear…only…it wasn’t really the she-snake. At least, it didn’t sound like her. Kurumi turned her back to the wall, as best she could given her hand being planted palm down against it, and simply stared at the second year.

Then, a smile appeared on Kurumi’s face when she saw Lexi. Lexi would know what to do, right? She could figure out the counter spell or jinx to removing her hand…

“L-L-Landlubber?” Kurumi whimpered looking at her Mama Lion. Was that some sort of breed of flobberworm? Her eyes flicked towards Lola and hoped that the Slytherin didn’t take this opportunity to try and show that she was part Landlubber too.

And then they were talking about treasure and then it sounded like Lexi was saying something about a vest…or was it a vase? Kurumi really wasn’t sure.

Kurumi watched as Fallon spoke with the two girls who were clearly having an off day. Perhaps they had spent too much time with Mr. Viking? No, their speech sounded a bit different from his.

Kurumi then spun around and continued to pull on her hand. Perhaps using her free hand would…THAT was another bad idea. She hadn’t been paying attention to where she had placed her other hand in relation to the red X and had put it right smack in the middle of it. Now both her hands appeared to be glued to the wall.
