Holding Aristotle in her right pocket, Kurumi nervously made her way into the classroom and was a little surprised to see that there were no desks or chairs. Not that she had anything against cushions, it was just not was she had been expecting. "Good day, Professor Schirmer," she said with a small bow before turning her attention to the board and reading the instructions.

"Effringo," Kurumi whispered, adjusting the strap on her shoulder. That wasn't too hard to pronounce, she should be able to handle that one. She walked over to a fluffy looking red cushion and flopped down on it before removing Aristotle from her pocket.

The truth was, she was rather fond of him just as he was and was more afraid of him hatching. What if she didn't like the new Aristotle? What if he didn't like her? What if he decided to fly the coop after hatching? Frowning a bit, Kurumi set her wand down and simply held Aristotle there. Change...she didn't really want him to change... and these thoughts suddenly reminded her of the conversation she had had with Selina in the girl's dorms. You can't stop change, just like Selina couldn't stop Kurumi from the decision she had made. Just like she couldn't stop Aristotle from hatching if he wanted to. Smiling to herself, Kurumi set him down on her lap and took one last look at his intricate design. Not all change is bad...right?

Nervously, Kurumi picked up her wand. "You be...whatever you want to be," she whispered. "Ef- frin -goh," she said with renewed confidence as she brought her wand down to tap its hard metal exterior.
