For a moment, Selina was tempted to reach out and grab Kurumi to hold her in place. She knew that of the two of them Selina had the tools to keep Kurumi seated in the theatre the entire movie. There was a large chance that Kurumi might have kicked and screamed the entire time if she resisted, but Kurumi was not leaving that seat. A part of Selina almost welcomed Kurumi to try because there was no way that Kurumi was going to escape watching this movie and eating some type of food. Her best friend was starting to waste away- not eating for days at a time was starting to show in the creases of Kurumi's face. Even if all she did was eat a little bit of food it was better than nothing. Grief could not stop Kurumi from basic bodily functions, she would not allow that to happen on her watch.

However, when Kurumi said that she was not going to leave, Selina nodded in agreement. That was good that the Gryffindor prefect was aware of the fact that she was not going to leave. But then she said that there was no way that Kurumi could have outrun Selina. Her blue eyes flickered to Kurumi's face. A small smile crept on the redhead's lips- that was almost a joke. For some reason Selina felt like throwing her hands up in the air to celebrate. Although it was miniscule Kurumi had just made progress. Maybe her best friend did not know it yet, but she was making a small joke. It was tiny and if one was not paying very close attention they might have missed it, but it was a very dry joke. Unintentional even, but it was a joke none the less. Selina wanted to stop the movie right then and there and crush her friend into a bone cracking hug. But the smallest of things needed to treated like normalcy. Kurumi needed to think it was normal to act in that manner. It would only help her in the long run.

As the movie progressed Selina could not seem to swallow her smile that was now ever present on her face. She also did not miss, out of the corner of her eye, Kurumi munching on popcorn. They were making such wonderful progress. Who knew Disney could change lives? It was really a magic worker when real magic could not help? Perhaps Selina should invest in watching more Disney movies, she had only seen the few that had aired in school. It seemed like a wise idea to dedicate some time to these miracle workers of happiness because Kurumi already looked better.

Another miracle occurred when Kurumi leaned over to Selina and made a blatant joke. She did not need to squint to see the joke this time around, Kurumi was serving out to see without any issues. It was, for a moment, just like old times. Kurumi was starting to come back, even if in small doses, but she would hold onto that for hope. Hope that Kurumi would get better. With a bright grin Selina said, "Yeah, sort of... he's definitely creepy enough to be Connor."

Suddenly the movie took a turn toward the darker side. One moment the French people were singing pretty music and the next Belle's father was in prison by a hideous Beast. He was a MEANY! And THEN when Belle tried to save her father she was locked away to save the older man from his fate. It was decided... the Beast had NO HEART!



Then she was broken from her movie trance when she heard a loud name being called out across the theatre. Selina looked up to see the source of the voice who was calling out Kurumi's name. When she finally settled upon the speaker she saw that it was Louisa. Honestly, Selina liked Louisa, but now was not the time to bother Selina and Kurumi. She had just gotten Kurumi out of the dorms for the first time in days and she did not want to overload Kurumi with too much excitement too fast. Baby steps seemed like a very good and logical option.

But then she nearly threw up when she saw who was walking across the theatre trailing behind Lousia. No doubt Kurumi had seen who it was as well. Merlin, how could she miss him? It was Jonathan and Selina could have attacked Louisa right then and there for opening up a wound so fresh for her best friend. Yeah, yeah she felt bad for Jonathan, but they were never close. He was just Kurumi's boyfriend and if this meeting hurt Kurumi in anyway or made her relapse the Gryffindor Captain was going to find other uses for her beater bat.

So when Louisa asked if it was a best friend's night Selina nodded, "Yeah it is..." she paused, "Sorry... its just sort of us. Hope you understand, but its a tradition and all. But maybe we can meet up later, yeah?" Every word she uttered with said with an extremely serious face. She just hoped that Louisa understood that Selina was not in the mood to deal with other people at the moment. Her main priority was Kurumi.
