OOC: permission given by MeredithRodneyMckay for this post. Permission for a second grab was given after Mcfeisty's post.

With one ribbon left but her teammates looking exhausted, Kurumi swallowed her fear and stepped up to the shore once again. She must be losing her mind to willingly go back out there again...but she was...and she must be insane. Which is also why she put her nautical hat on her head for this task.

Tracing a circular pattern over the materials again and took a deep breath. She was NOT going to mess up the incantation this time...NO WAY! "Vergrandis Navis," she said with the most confidence she had all lesson. The confidence in her voice was probably the cause for the transfiguration going as smoothly as it did and in no time at all she had a coracle resting on the ground in front of her.

Without another moment of hesitation, Kurumi hunched over and pushed it into the water with her paddle grasped in the other hand and once again leaped into the device. Figure eights...remember fluid and sweeping figure eights...

Only her movements were anything put sweeping as her heart pounded nervously in her chest. Kurumi made her way back out to the pole and, unlike last time, stopped herself underneath the ribbon and slowly stood up once more to grab it. Having done so, she clutched it fiercely in her hand as she proceeded to paddle back towards the shore...still making zig zags all over the lake as she did so, but at least they were more consistent this time.

When she felt the bottom of the coracle hit the shore, Kurumi leaped out of it and rushed back to her team with the final ribbon in her hands and tagged the next teammate. It all came down to the young Slytherin now and her completing her final lap.
