"
Sometimes...they have a good reason for it," she said softly. "
It's....it's important to remember that they don't always do it because of you. Sometimes...there is some outside motive that causes them to think and do what they do." And Kurumi was still figuring out the pieces to the puzzle that was her family. "
Fear can be a terrible thing...makes people do horrible things to one another."

. But wait, he knew who
they were, but then what's this story of a dragon? He'd never heard it, yep, he was positive that it was news to him that the Golden Trio escaped on a dragon. And woah, escaping on a dragon?!? No wonder they were called Golden! "I know who they are, but I've never heard of this dragon incident. " He answered her, smiling at her barely contained giggles. At least he made her laugh.
Oh right! Charles hadn't talked about himself, YET. And he hadn't noticed, because he was sincerely interested in what she had to say! Not that he didnt' like to listen to people, but it was rarely that he listened to someone he barely knew! This girl definitely had some charm about her, Charles thought. But then she asked him about his favourite magical creature, and he burst out laughing at that. Her question had reminded him of something that had happened in third year, when his sister Cherry and him had shared a care of magical creatures class. He realised that he might be creeping Kurumi, laughing like this out of nowhere and he stifled his laughter and looked at her apologetically. "You're question reminded me of something really funny that happened in third year, " He explained his sudden outburst of laughter and grinned reminisciently.
"
You don't read much, do you?" she teased playfully. Then again, there were few who had read A History of Magic cover to cover, especially the latest release of the text that might as well have been three encyclopedias glued together. "
It was a pivotal moment in their quest to defeating Voldemort. Then again, I might be biased." There had been a dragon involved after all. Really though, between the dragon and Dobby the Free Elf, Kurumi could probably give a lecture that would last all day. Most of her audience would probably fall asleep though, but at least she would be entertained, right?
Kurumi's eyes widened and she looked at Charles. Had she said something to cause his laughter or was this some weird way of teasing her for babbling on and on about dragons? But then he explained herself and her jaw closed again. "
You know you can't laugh like that and then not tell me what happened," she smiled.
