Once they were told their directions, the party supplies were layed out and the instructions for the levitating potion were given August decided to find someone to work with--two heads are better than one, no?
The Gryffindor was looking for a partner and saw that Kurumi was poking around at the balloons. He definately wanted to play with those. "Hey Kurumi mind if I help?" he walked over and laughing at the red one hanging from his mouth he grabbed a green one and began to inflate it the good old Muggle way.
Just then August noticed the small creature that he had thought was a badly dressed, oddly pigmented student. It was a HOUSE ELF?! "U-uhh Kurumi, who's your friend?" he asked slightly nervous eyeing the elf.
Hands still holding the balloons while she waited for the house elf to reply, Kurumi's head spun around when she heard August call her name. "August," she smiled, offering him a friendly bow in greeting. She was glad to see him smiling after the disaster that had been Potions. Hopefully he had gotten all of it out of his hair. "
Of course," she nodded as she offered him three deflated balloons in red, gold, and white. Coincidence that they were Gryffindor colors? Maybe.
"
Oh, this is Pips, one of the house elves," she said while she stepped to the side. She looked the the house elf and tried not to giggle. Where was his little friend? Tehe. "
Pips, this is August." There, now they could be friends too!
Kurumi, realizing she still had the red balloon hanging from her mouth, began to blow into it until the size was the same as her face. That was big enough, right? It was then that she realized the balloon was not round like usually balloons, but was in the shape of a star. NEAT!
