Kurumi. HATED. Portkeys.
She had traveled by them enough times that one would imagine she should be able to land properly on her feet by now, but that wasn't the case. At least she didn't roll to a stop like she had done when she had arrived at Lewis' home over the summer. Especially when one considered that she was clutching a very VERY puffy and displeased Walnut right now.
Ears down, eyes the size of saucers, Walnut let out an exasperated meow that sounded more like a balloon deflating than anything else. "
It's alright, Walnut, we made it," Kurumi said as she let go of the hula hoop and pushed herself up off the ground
again.
Looking around the platform and seeing who all was there, Kurumi noticed the new groundskeeper who looked...a little more focused than the previous. Kurumi herded a few first years towards the man when she noticed Elodie on the platform looking...well...frightened. "
Hey, you okay?" she asked, bending over and offering the young Hufflepuff her hand. Yes, she could latch on to it if she wanted. "
How is Gemini holding up?"
Which was when she also noticed a small crowd gathered around someone...someone who looked like Alice. "
Alice?! What happened to you?!" Kurumi exclaimed as she got a little closer. Oh...that...that did not look so good. "
Alice, we need to get you to the Healer." There was no way Kurumi was capable enough to handle these sorts of injuries. "
Here, take one of these. The sugar might help you feel better."
