"
I've never been to America before," Kurumi said with her eyes glazing over with excitement. "
It will be my first time going this summer." A glow appeared on her cheeks. "
I have a few times," she nodded. "
It's the fastest mode of transportation within Japan. It's really fast and very comfortable to ride."
compartment #2 SPOILER!!: Simon & Josh

The seventh year offered a smile in return at her reaction, glad to see she liked his choice. "I had seen it in passing and immediately thought of you," he stated as if it needed an explanation but it had been how he decided on her gift.
"You're welco--" he started to say interupted by the sudden addition of another friendly face as his abrupt actions.
Seeing his friend overwhelmed by the animal, Simon moved to settle Josh's trunk up on the rack from where he had thrown it in haste. As an added addition, he quietly cast a lightening charm on it so the other boy had an easier time when he went to retrieve it later on. "I thought I told you no killing...even of annoying owls," he remarked adding the last remembering a previous threat on the bird even if she didn't fall under the 'him.'

Surprised for a moment as what the lioness was talking about did not occur to him, Josh stared at the girl with questioning eyes. She looked...excited? For some reason?
Ah...yes.
Apparently she liked the owl. Well...now it was pretty much natural that the boy could not figure it out at first since he had never thought someone might like this bird. ''Uh?'' Was Kurumi serious though? She looked serious. ''It is a she, actually. Her name is Hotty. And, please do be careful, Kurumi. Otherwise she would take your fingers as breakfast.''
Was that too much or scary? Eh? But it was what this bird did all the time; pecking and biting and clawing.
And what Simon said next completely took his attention. No killing? But...but.... did not he know what that coward did? He had been asking for it for quite a time and Josh had not even punched him once...yet. Yet...killing of annoying owls? Ah? Maybe Simon misunderstood what he was talking about.
''You know him.'' so he said in case the other lion boy had not guessed it. ''I meant Riley. '' Heh. No killing for him? ''Well...cannot i at least maim him? You should have seen what he did and said!!! He simply implied that i was not a good enough boyfriend for her, even not worthy of her. And...'' the Gryffindor tried not to tense angrily at that point. ''...and he boasted to me that he will be seeing her during the summer break!!!'' Seriously, that was too much. Really, too much. ''And you know what i will be doing the whole summer? Lemme make it clear; i have to work at my uncle's farm...the whole summer....while he is playing around my girlfriend. Seriously Simon. You should have seen his expression while saying those. There was a huge smirk on his stupid, ugly face.''
Josh had no idea what the boy had been trying to do anyway. Maybe he had a death wish or something? ''The more i try not to kill or even punch him, the more he does his best to get on my nerves.''
Yeah...now he thought of it. He was supposed to find a few or more opportunities to escape to the Diagon Alley during the summer since...things were getting more and more intense which was no good. No good at all. Maybe he could find a part-time job at one of the shops in the Alley. Maybe if not there, he could find a job in the...Knockturn Alley?
O_o
No, not there. He had promised Lafay not to walk in there again. Aaand...his thoughts of those immediately stopped when that...voice he loved to listen to came to his ears. Evelyn!
Pushing himself off the door, Josh turned around to face the girl. Guess, there was going to be no more talking about the coward now. ''Hey!'' he greeted back with a small smile and stepped aside to let her in ''Patrolling the corridors?''
Apparently this place was getting more and more crowded. Not that Josh did not like some crowd, actually he was just not in the mood yet those were all friends so it was way better. Waaaaaaaay better.
Smiling at Selina as well, Josh nodded at her too as a greeting. Ah? She was asking if she could join them? ''Yeah, sure.'' he said before moving his gaze outside the window then...back on Evelyn again.
Kurumi sat back in her seat as she listened to the slight banter between Simon and Josh. Wait, Josh and Riley weren't on good terms? Well, this was rather unfortunate....Why did it always seem like she was on good terms with two people who seemed to hate each other for existing? Kurumi decided to keep her mouth shut, her eyes on the owl.
Yep, Kurumi would just stick with the owl for now, who was apparently named Hotty. "
Good day, Hotty," Kurumi said bowing her head towards the owl. Maybe...she wouldn't try to pet the bird. She would rather like to keep her fingers on her hand.
Ah yes...Pineapple Boy...we meet again at last. Walnut sauntered into the compartment, following his mistress, and saw the owl. Nope, far too much effort to try and stick his paws into the cage. Then, Walnut did something a little unsuspected - well, for those who knew the relationship - he rubbed his head on Josh's leg. Pineapple Boy and him may not always see eye to eye, but at least he had never made his Mistress cry, unlike that Hufflepuff.
What the catnip was a Hufflepuff anyway? Quote:

"Kurumi." she muttered, a lot less slightly colder greeting before she turned her gaze over to Simon. Goodness, it was a whole Gryffindor party in here! Thank Merlin she arrived then. Slytherins just made it so much better.
"
E-Evelyn," she said bowing her head slightly. Kurumi's eyes did widen just a bit when she heard her being called by her own name and not Cookie Girl. They had spent a little more time together outside of the classroom - and outside of Kurumi handing Josh cookies - so perhaps that had something to do with it. Kurumi wasn't really aware of it, but
Cookie Hater Evelyn was rubbing off a little on the lioness.

Selina!" Kurumi chirped nearly jumping out of her seat - it would be rather difficult considering that the compartment was a little cramped. She patted the open space next to her instead.
How many Gryffindors would it take to make a Slytherin feel uncomfortable? Well, they were currently at a ratio of 4:1.
