"
If it doesn't work....then go with your other plan," Kurumi nodded nervously. She didn't want to send too many of her Gryffindors to the hospital wing if she could help it. Based purely on the principle of the matter and not because the Healer was a frightening woman...nope.
"
I enjoy Transfiguration as well," Kurumi smiled. Ignore that the subject was now a constant reminder that she had not received perfect marks on her OWLs. Not that an E was anything to frown at. Kurumi just wished that her mental blockage over the subject and its connection to what she could do was gone. "
Defense Against the Dark Arts is another interesting subject." She didn't comment about Muggle Studies, however. She was tired of every lesson being on food or a party. It was not effective teaching in the Gryffindor's eyes. There was more to the subject than food...

Kurumi simply offered Ronnie another smile. She was sure that the Gryffindor had a lot of friends that she wanted to catch up with after being gone for a term.

"I'm Nettie!" She smiled. The tiny eleven year old was just a tad hyper, probably from the mix of sweets she had eaten earlier on the train and the adrenaline rush she was currently undergoing as she was finally realizing she was at Hogwarts. Everything was so new and fresh in her eyes, and that made everything so much more exciting than she had ever imagined.
Another spunky first year. Kurumi was beginning to get nervous, but in a good way, for the coming term. With all these
ridiculously hyper enthusiastic first years running around, one thing was certain. The prefects were going to have their hands full. At least this meant lots of distractions to keep Kurumi's mind off other things.
"
Nice to meet you Nettie. I'm Kurumi," she replied with a small bow of the head. "
Oh, congratulations on being sorted into Hufflepuff. I know a few incredible people in that house." Her cheeks flushed noticeably at this, but her face remained as neutral...as neutral as she could keep it given the circumstances that is.
SPOILER!!: Zeke!!

Zeke wished he could facepalm himself, but he just did it in his mind. He should've looked up earlier to see for himself instead of just asking. Where'd your common sense go, Zeke? Well, now that he knew it, he reached up to grab one as it approached him. But this time, he ate it a bite at a time. He was about to make another comment that the cookies tasted really good, but Kurumi probably knew that already so he let it drop.
Nodding once, he took the last bite out of the Gryffindor cookie. Say hello? "Well, I would have but I wasn't that kind of person really. Last year, I mean." Always and always, whenever the opportunity came, he'd find the first way out of a conversation. Kurumi blushed a lot. This was the third time, maybe? Wow. Maybe the prefect was trying to match her cheeks with all the redness of the pride. Mehehe.
She seemed a bit disturbed for a moment there. He was about to ask on the matter but just thought that the prefect spotted a bunch of new first years that she hasn't greeted yet. Yup, being a prefect was surely a busy job. Calls for too much responsibility. It must be hard, trying to be nice to everyone and to get to all of their needs, keep up with all the conversations and remember almost all of them. "Erm, you seem pretty busy, it's okay if you leave me alone and go accommodate the rest." He could wait. After all, that's one person less to worry about for the ultra busy girl. She was jam-packed with stuff to think of and people to help.
Glad? He wasn't so sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. For him, it's more of both. Good cause, well, it was good to be nice and all. Bad because sometimes he missed the alone time. Though the company was making him feel a bit better than before. "It's okay, really. All good," he smiled at her reassuringly. Yup, she's a worrier.
Kurumi giggled softly. There was an awful lot to take in right now, especially for someone like Zeke who had tried to go under the radar until now. Kurumi removed her wand again, flicking it towards some of the cookies to make them summersault a little more vigorously in the air as they continued to dance around the table.
"
Oh?" Kurumi asked, cocking her head to the side like a baby owl for a moment. Not the sort of person? He didn't seem like a bad person, perhaps a little shy, but Kurumi was a bit confused as to what sort of person Zeke was previously. If he wanted to talk about it that is. They had just met each other and, well, Kurumi was rather private about personal affairs and it seemed as though Zeke was that sort as well. "
Well, the past is the past, right?"
Take your own advice, Kurumi. Sheesh.
Kurumi was back to laughing softly again. "
It's no trouble at all, if that it what you are thinking." Even if Kurumi wasn't a prefect, she still made an effort to get to know her housemates whenever she could and, well, for someone who was coming out of their shell like Zeke, they needed the conversation.
