Then again, Kurumi had been stared at her entire life because she had some Western features that the rest of her classmates didn't.

He was so formal. Or was that even the right word? He was just acting like a centaur did, right? Kurumi had only ever read about them in books, so she felt short of breath right now seeing one in person. "Lovely to meet you, sir," Kurumi said with another awkward bow. "Would you rather I call you...Thereos or Professor Thereos?" Because, well, Shaw had been VERY vocal about not being called professor. It was best to check.

"My name is Kurumi Hollingberry, fourth year Gryffindor and female prefect," she said with a slight smile tickling the edges of her lips. "This is Hugo, also a fourth year but in Ravenclaw."

Kurumi looked around the dusty old room with all its cobwebs and whatnot. "Um...is there anything we can help you with? Cleaning up this room perhaps?"
