Listening into what Kurumi was asking Treyen. The head girl smiled to herself at the small Gryffindor's way of thinking. Hands still in her pockets, Iris faced Treyen. She wanted to know how he was going to answer that... mainly in the hope that his answer would give Kurumi that extra bit of confidence that she always seemed to be in need of.
Oh... and Iris was just going to pretend that she didn't notice the winking and blushing that was going on between the two.
He was feeling tons better now. They were getting something, and he didn't care what it was, he didn't even care if all Iris was going to give them was a speech, he just liked the fact that something was on their way. Nice.
Iris had just gave him one more reason to keep on smiling.
"Sounds good." He finally said, looking from Iris to...yes, Kurumi, we see you, we ALWAYS see you.

Kurumi shook her head. She needed to stop thinking like that, right? Looking up through her eyelashes, Kurumi smiled again, but still felt a little awkward accepting the trophy that also had Josh's name on it without him there. She couldn't very well continue to stand there the entire time though, could she?
Glancing back at Treyen again, Kurumi had a flash back to her task in fighting the boggart and her heart sank just for an instant. Her expression faded, but it then brighten a bit when she remembered what all had come from it all. "T-T-Treyen," she squeaked, tugging on his robes for a moment to get his attention, you know, just in case he forgot she was still there. "Was the point of this entire hunt to help us see the house qualities we posses?"
Because, after fighting her boggart, she felt the most Gryffindor she had ever felt.
And why was it that he always saw Kurumi? Her violet eyes were an incredible sight to behold. Not like Ellie's blue. But they were very pretty, and he knew when he was being watched.
He couldn't help but smile when she tugged at his robes, that was hardly necessary, his eyes were on her. And...she asked a question? Treyen resisted the urge to look toward Iris. Wasn't the whole point of this hunt to find the forgotten lagoon and that? Yes, but no. Kurumi was on the right track, but not precisely correct.
Knowing how she felt about belonging in Gryffindor didn't make answering this question any easier.
"Can I answer with a 'Yes' and 'No' at the same time?" he asked, slightly joking,
"Don't answer that," because he was going to explain this to her, and ONLY her, which is why his eyes were focused on the Gryffindor standing before him and he lowered his voice.
"The point wasn't just that, but each task was designated according to whatever qualities each of the Houses possess," he started to say, that's why all Prefects and Captains had participated,
"So, if by any chance, it helped you see that you truly belong in your House...well, that's a plus...but I already knew it," the last part was said in almost a whisper, Iris wouldn't be able to catch his whole sentence.
"And team work, of course," which is necessary in Hogwarts.
