Kurumi's eyes widened and she quickly offered him another bow. She could have said something like, and I remember your face, but that would have been awkward and redundant. Who COULD forget the man's face? "
Thank you, Lord Borr," she said with her voice only slightly quivering. She began to wish that the kitchens were not closed so that she could have baked some cookies for him as she had done her second year. Oh well.

Am I to come all this way, INSPIRE your students, GUIDE their lives, JUDGE their creations, AND FEED MYSELF? That's the problem with you Hogwarts Professors. The whole lot of you are LAZY."
With that, Lord Borr used his cane to point out the winners to his house elf cavalry, and they related the winners to the Professor "in charge" of the event.
"Someone have that Groundskeeper come and clean this place up! WORTHLESS, that one. You all remember that! If you don't do well in school and are LAZY, you'll end up a worthless groundskeeper! But if you keep your focus and get yourself a GOOD role model, you could end up JUST LIKE ME!" Lord Borr whacked a nearby snowman in the head and the top tier rolled away.
Just like him? No thank you...
Kurumi's face remained pleasant as she all but clung to her snow elf. Thankfully, she had located herself towards the edge of the stage, so she was out of his cane's reach. Still, it was horribly rude that the man would just wave it about like that, destroying everyone's work. Students had worked very hard on their snow creations and to just have him dismiss them like that was...terrible.
She eyed the Muggle Studies professor when Lord Borr laid into her a bit. Well, she was suspicious, but no one deserved to be talked to in that way. And then the man was insulting their Groundskeeper - the man who had done some of Borr's assignment with her.
One thing was for sure, Kurumi was giggling to herself when Sierra was asked to join him. If that was some of the special benefits received for her father working directly for the man, Kurumi was content to have a father that worked several thousand miles away. She didn't want to get swallowed by a Walrus.
