Glancing at Nessie again, Kurumi frowned slightly in concern when Professor Williamson spoke. Her hero was sort of being a let down at the moment...but then he mentioned the Hufflepuff's eyes fluttering and that caught her attention. "R-Really?!" she squeaked, bending down slightly to look a little closer at Nessie.

And then the man was going on about the bowtruckle that had shown up in his lesson last year. Yeah, but HE had been more prepared that Professor Elwood who probably would have lead them into a dragon's den and not known it until they were all BBQ-ed.

Snapping off another branch, Ash this time, Kurumi's head snapped around when SHE spoke again and was...holding a locket? Honestly, this woman was INSANE.

Kurumi was just about to ignore this all completely when she mentioned a date. Woah...wait a second, why did that sound familiar? Scratching her head with her ash stick, Kurumi tried to think about why that year rang a bell...and then it hit her. The little research session that Professor Scabior had had in the library. "1753?" Kurumi repeated, doubling back for a moment and EYEING Professor Elwood for just a moment. "That's the year that the student roll was missing..." Kurumi looked over at Vickers for a moment because he was closest to her at the moment.

As for the girl in the picture, Kurumi hadn't been able to get a decent look since she had been more focused on Nessie. But she thought that she had seen her somewhere outside of the school...
