The two had entered the train at the back cars end where a whole bunch of his fellow classmates were rushing about as they claimed compartments with their friends and new ickles tried to find available seats somewhere.
"So, before we were rudely interrupted. Did you have a nice summer? Did you and Lewis do anything fun?" Elijah didn't bother to hide the slight distaste that showed when he said the Hufflepuff Prefect's name. Elijah couldn't even remember why exactly he disliked the boy, but he did. Plus, he was ugly. Well, ugly in comparison to Elijah.
Following Elijah aboard the Hogwarts Express, her badge still in her pants' pocket for the time being and couldn't help but smile slightly at his words. Good to be back? Of course it was. Hogwarts was like home...but it was also very sobering as well. "
Yeah...one last trip to Hogwarts..." she said, trailing off a bit and looking aimlessly out the window for a moment. "
Uh, sorry...I-I promised myself I wouldn't be depressed this train ride."
Kurumi continued to follow him down the crowded corridor, getting bumped now and again by passing students as they ran about like wild zoo animals. Just as long as no one tried to climb anything
like the actual train Kurumi would let it go. She was too tired from all that first year insanity to deal. Once or twice she ended up bouncing into Elijah thanks to a few good hits from other's shoulders and trunks.
"
Summer? It was...good," she nodded. If not emotionally exhausting as well. "
Treyen came to visit me in Japan, he used to go to Hogwarts." Hearing Lewis' name caused Kurumi's cheeks to intensify in color instantly. Every moment with Lewis was fun really, well...minus what had happened before they had finally said those three words to each other in the prefect's bathroom last term. That time had not been fun. But this summer...staying at his home and meeting his family...that had been...incredible. And for a lot of reasons. "
Y-Yes," she managed to spit out before her blushing overtook her completely.
Kurumi took another step forward and heard something crunch under her foot, which is why she looked down to see the crumbled up mess of the school's gossip magazine. Oh, Merlin...issues out already? She should have known. Kurumi only gave the paper a quick glance over when....wait....huh? "
You...have your eye on me? What does that mean?" Like he was watching out for her like how Treyen did?
