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."
Thwarted. Her dreams of inventing self-reading storybooks was put out before it even had the change to take off. Wait, best not to give up too quickly. There was still a way to make this work. She might have to combine the magic of two runes and a few spells, but it was still doable. She'd make an appointment with Mr. Viking, but she knew that would be pointless seeing as she wouldn't be able to understand a word he was saying.
Oh well.

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.
"
Brilliant!" Kurumi smiled as she clapped her hands together - momentarily forgetting that the spell could and WOULD bounce off the girl's Shield Charm.
Sadly, Kurumi put two and two together a little too late. Sorry, Headmaster. Constant vigilance forgotten.
*SPLAAAAAAASH*
Kurumi's front was doused with water and she was dripping all over the carpet. It wasn't too bad seeing as she hadn't cast a strong version of the spell, more like the sort she would perform in Potions, but it was still enough to soak her robes. Still, Kurumi was all smiles.
"
Guess I got a little too excited at your accomplishment," she laughed.
