This would be a great spell for parents to use on storybooks. Books that read themselves to children? Sounds like every parent's fantasy.
"Well...um...the book is reading itself to me," she said with a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. "You...might not be able to hear it even if you touch the book. It might be that only the caster can hear it." Which would throw her bedtime story theory right out the window.
Still, you never know how new magic will work, so Kurumi handed the book to Kourtney.
Kourtney eyed Kurumi curiously as she waited for her response. Something was happening, by the way that the prefect was reacting. When she finally revealed what it was, Kourt shot a startled look at the book. Really? It was reading itself to her? Wow...
No, she hadn't heard a thing, but maybe...She took the offered book and held it for a few moments. And....nothing. No voice. She closed the book and then opened it again. Nope, nothing. "Probably only works for the caster." She murmured as she handed the book back. "But that must be a pretty great experience. I'll have to try it myself later."

Kurumi began wracking her brain for something harmless that wouldn't cause any damage to the first year, no any serious damage to the common room should it bounce off of the Shield Charm. "I'll...try Aguamenti, alright?" Worse that could happen would be that they would get wet. Nothing a Hot Air Charm couldn't fix, right? Kurumi removed her wand and pointed it at Kourtney. "Aguamenti!"
A small stream of water burst from her wand and shot towards the younger lion.
Kourtney bit her lip as Kurumi reacted to her request. Heh, maybe she should have chosen another way to test this rune out, though...it seemed as though she was agreeing to do it.
Shooting her a grateful smile, she picked up the wand that she had placed on the floor after she had cast the spell. Just as her fingers touched it, Kourtney felt a strange vibrating sensation course through her hand and down the arm that held the wand.
When Kurumi decided on Aguamenti, Kourt readied her wand. She knew that was a harmless water spell, but regardless, she didn't much feel like getting wet, so she hoped this worked.
As soon as Kurumi began to speak the spell, Kourt exclaimed. "Protego!!" She waited with bated breath to see if her shield had worked.
She could literally feel the spell bounce off of her and towards Kurumi. "EEP! Duck!" She squealed, not wanting the girl to get wet.
