Kurumi, who had done nothing but STARE at everyone as they continued speaking in tongues, actually felt a sense of relief when she saw Professor Lafay make her presence known. The red paint was still dripping from her forehead where Salander had cast his spell at. Her hands, on the other hand, were covered in whatever the sticky stuff had been on the walls.

Kurumi looked sheepishly at the Potions Mistress, back at her hands, and then towards the Headmaster. Hopefully whatever was needed to remove the stain from the wall would work on her hands.

That was the only reason she had stuck around after the Headmaster had told them all to leave. Once her hands were clean, she would be out of there faster than you could say cookie.
