Although...her mother had always told her that her hands were too harsh when it came to fan dances. Something Kurumi never managed to get right...

But thoughts about her mother were almost forgotten when the little elf was HUGGING her! If Kurumi had been capable of doing so, there would have been sparkly starts and hearts floating around her head right now. Toddles was hugging her! BEST.FEAST.EVER!

Well, that wasn't entirely true. There were a few things that could make this feast better. August still being at Hogwarts being one. The confusion about Lewis and Jonathan not being there was another. Yes, there were a few things, but it was still AMAZING that the little house elf was hugging her.

"I'll be seeing you soon, Toddles," Kurumi smiled as the little guy dance off and poofed.

"It really is," Kurumi nodded. "He was only named recently." Or, she thought it was recently at least. She was a little fuzzy on the timing of it all to be honest.

Kurumi was about to ask Jezz something else, probably about the strawberry cookie dough ice cream, when she heard the Headmaster begin his speech. All the Gryffindors had heard her announcement, right? They were ALL paying attention?

Blink blink.

Wait...that was it? What about telling them not to die? And constant vigilance? Had the Headmaster forgotten to include those in his speech? He had last term, right? Kurumi really couldn't recall at the moment, but she had nearly been eaten twice by two different magical creatures so a small reminder about not dying would have been appreciated.

Kurumi scanned the staff table again, frowning a bit to herself at not seeing Professor Schirmer present. She had been a bit sad when she had gone to deliver her colorful macaroons earlier, but now it really sunk in that she wasn't there. Come to think of it...neither was Professor Roslund. He was probably still chasing after her, hence why he wasn't teaching either. Kurumi wrinkled her nose for a moment at the memories of him using students to deliver love letters to the Charms professor. It had been so....weird. Sort of creepy in Kurumi's mind as well.

Food soon filled the table, but Kurumi's eyes were on one thing and ONE thing only: pumpkin juice.

FINALLY!

Grabbing a goblet full of the liquid, Kurumi raised her glass to all those at the table. "Here's to an excellent term lions!"
"You like house elves a lot, don't you?" Jezzabelle had watched how Kurumi lit up around Toddles. It was like she was surrounded by family. Before anything else could be said she fell quiet so that she could listen to the Headmasters speech. It was short, the way she liked it although it was lacking in something. She wasn't sure what, but something was missing.

Just then Kurumi raised up a cup and shouted really loud about the lions having and excellent term. Jezz reached for her own cup of tea and smiled happily, "To an excellent term." Hopefully it would be one she would never forget. She took a sip of her tea and then began to pile up her plate with more food than any normal twelve year old could eat.
