Kurumi spotted the boy who shared her eyes that she had met on the train earlier that day and smiled to him. He seemed a little more relaxed than he had been on the train, and that was probably due to the hard part of the evening being done.
She waved, and made a note to herself to be sure to talk to him later, unless he came over to her now, to which she wouldn't reject any conversation.
Kurumi tried not to roll her eyes, and accomplished so thankfully. It looked like her and William were right back where they had started and he was challenging her once again to...whatever sort of duel it was he thought they were in. Instead, she offered him a smile. "Thank you William," and she ignored the other comment. "
Let's both work towards helping Gryffindor win the House Cup, shall we?" After all, winning as a group was more important than winning as an individual.
Kurumi's jaw just dropped when she saw her two housemates going at it. Lexi, the seventh year and...the girl who knew who Barbie was.
Maybe...Kurumi should just...duck out of this conversation. She had delivered the T-shirt like she had wanted to, and Lexi wouldn't try and doing anything too severe to the little one, right?
Slowly...Kurumi began to slink away to the side.
Kurumi flailed a bit when Selina drew her away from Adam, tears still streaming down her face. How DARE he just show up out of the blue and expect her to be the same as she had been the last time she had seen him. She was a forth year now, and the time he had been away had changed her completely.
He, however, based on his comment about them not being able to punch properly, hadn't changed a bit.
"
You know what I would have expected," she said, trying not to allow her voice to break. "
You to uphold at least one of your promises. You wrote me ONCE...and it was after it was too late. Not only that but you...you..." Her voice broke now. "
I waited you know...like I promised..."
He knew what she was talking about. He couldn't try and hide it from her.
"
And YOU weren't even the one to tell me. Do you know how much you hurt me?"
She took a step back and her prefect badge caught in the candlelight. Her hair color began to change back to black as she attempted to control her emotions more.
Now it was her turn to pull Selina away. "
Selina, one more hit and...well...you know I have to do something about it." Best to just leave that vague. Kurumi wasn't sure WHAT she was going to do. "
Save it for Quidditch tryouts, you know we need you."
"
I can't reveal all my secrets you know," she winked. "
They are part of my mother's cookie recipe. I had to beg her for a long time to finally teach me."
Kurumi glanced down at the table.
"
Jai...we need to do something about these forks and everything," she picked up a spoon for emphasis. "
Constant vigilance, right?"
Maybe, the two prefects could put their wand power together and clean the table before the Headmaster gave his speech?
"
Welcome to Gryffindor, Anne," Kurumi smiled, waving as the young lion who had just finished her sorting and had joined them at the table.
"
I go to the kitchens often enough," she laughed. "
You are welcome to come with me sometime if you want. Just look for me in the common room."
