No one ought to stare for she was a mermaid--a Selkie, a beautiful Selkie lost in the midst of these AWFULLY rude humans and so, she twirled her tail like the angelic she-fish that she truly was.
Evelyn was staring. SMIRKING actually. Lola Jones was not sea food. Or perhaps she was merely JEALOUS of her tale, her fins, those beautiful gills.
Then there was Kurumi, who was just gawking at her, and although she so much enjoyed the attention she was getting--THIS--THIS WAS WRONG. Her MASTER EVEN! "MASTER! Forgive me! I am not worthy to be gawked at! Not worthy, nay NAAAY!" She bowed her head apologetically. "How did I become a mermaid?" Did Kurumi want her to spill her secrets? The BLAZING fire locked inside her heart? Lola was a mermaid/House-elf and again, she was simply not worthy to stand in this girl's presence who saved Queen Flobberworm from dying.
"Master... please... must I..." She croaked and realized that she herself was REBELLING AGAINST MASTER KURUMI'S ORDERS. Oh the SHAME. To compensate, Lola immediately knelt down to the ground and refusing to make eye contact. She breathed. "My dangerous quest into becoming a Selkie was RATHER dangerous, and I strongly advice you NOT to undergo the heavy process, Master! But there I was, in the Dungeons where, upon a table, my eyes lay upon these cookies--ALAS, they were not regular cookies, Master!" Lola took a glance at Iris, that Head Girl who just left those fish cookies up for adoption... tututut... "These cookies--they were in the shape of fishies! I rightfully claimed them as my babies and I was their mother and and and... my fish babies," she immediately reached into her pockets and retrieved her babies, "This one's Simon. Then there's Paula. Then of course, Randy. Oh, look, there's Debbie #2 and Kermit and oh my MARGARET, there you are!"
Lola forgot about Cynthia and Greg. CYNTHIA AND GREG. Rest in peace. She eyed Kurumi from her kneeling position and then continued, "So then we went all the way to the Fountain--WHERE I HAD TO SACRIFICE MY MERMAID TOKENS--but Sierra says they're all safe in their mermaid haven now and I believe that was almost the last part of the ritual... ALMOST!" Her hands were high in the air now, wondering if the girl was comprehending. She probably was. "No, the last part of the mermaid ritual was to go to the Lagoon and simply BELIEVE that you were a mermaid and I was way about that," she breathed, "But here I come, and this Lagoon's ABANDONED! Now, I'm continuing to continue my quest to find my sisters, Moon Shine and Sparkle Bow in the deep waters. I've already found my father's trident laying on the shore..."
Lola immediately started to sob at her Master's feet.
Kurumi had almost wished that she hadn't asked the moment Lola had turned her crazed gaze on Kurumi. Kurumi jumped back a bit in surprise when the Slytherin threw herself at the third year's feet.
"
L-L-Lola you really don't need to do tha--" But it was clear that she wasn't listening. Kurumi wasn't sure which situation had been more awkward, Queen Flobberworm flopping around in the kitchen or her current predicament of a flailing...Kelpie? Wait...how did she become a Kelpie?! Did that mean that Lola was part flobberworm, part kelpie, and part mermaid?! Well, Kurumi wasn't to keen on the part flobberworm and kelpie bit, but being part mermaid certainly seemed like an amazing thing to be part. Did that mean that when Lola touched water she grew a tail?
"
Moon Shine and Sparkle Bow..." Kurumi repeated blinking awkwardly. Didn't mermaids sing to each other when they wanted to find each other? Or was that only something she had seen in films and read about in books? "
P-P-Perhaps they will find you if you sing?"
Kurumi was rather eager to meet mermaids that were full mermaid and not one third.

trophies.
Kurumi's attention was then towards the stage when she heard her name called. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw just WHO is was that had called it out. Kurumi failed to notice the blush on his cheeks, but hers turned an even brighter shade of pink as she went up to where her Badger Prince stood with the trophy in his hands, unable to believe that she had been selected. Surely there were others who were much braver than she was, right? "
T-T-Th-Thank you," she squeaked with a slight bow before reaching out to take the trophy.
Where was Josh? They really should accept this award together.

"Great job...all of you," he replied with a bright smile. His applauding getting louder as the last trophy was handed out...that which he had helped chose and who included two of his friends.
Her shocked expression still very much on her face, Kurumi turned her head slightly to the side when she heard Simon speak. She smiled. "
Thank you, Simon."
