Cos he was very afraid of the water. He didn't even like taking baths, so it was always a shower for Theodore. He shrugged his shoulders, "You can try and teach me, if you want." Though, unless she could transfigure him into the next surf-boarder, he didn't see much coming of the lessons.

OOooooh, magic. "Wow, you did that really quick. Do you think I'll be as good as you one day?" Cos Theo's track record with wand-sticking was quite tragic so far. It was a good thing that he could ride a broom, otherwise there would be no hope for him at all. He nodded, kind of understanding her reasons for worrying. It was HIS only wizarding experience, too. Would he be all depressed in his seventh year, too? MEEP. "At least you're not the only person graduating. Your pals will be, too, right?"

Theodore noticed her discomfort, so he asked. "Do you like Quidditch?" And what he meant by THAT was 'have you seen ME on the Quidditch pitch?' If she hadn't, he wouldn't be too upset. Theo's term was gonna be THIS term, seeing as his first Quidditch year didn't go exactly how he'd planned.

A humble prefect, too. Wow, Kurumi was definitely no Slytherin. Theo that when HE made it as a prefect, he'd milk it for all it was worth. It was an exciting prospect to look forward to.

"Okay..." Was he shaking? No, no... he told himself it was just cos he was in the presence of a pretty girl. But that made him want to shake even more. He took the floats from her and popped one on each of his arms. They made him look about six years younger already.

Theo sighed and tipped his foot over the edge. "G-Go first, please." It wasn't even a request.

Now probably was not the time to use those you can do anything you put your mind to lines that her father was always telling her. Some things, Kurumi had found, were just not one's forte and there was nothing wrong with that. It was like her and flying. She just couldn't do it. Or, well, she HAD done it at one point...but not anymore. Which really didn't apply to the current situation at all and she should just stop thinking about herself and focus on the second year in front of her. "Is there...something about swimming that makes you uncomfortable?" she asked. "I don't mind trying. I can be pretty patient when it comes to teaching." She had dealt with Laura enough in classes after all. That showed a lot.

Again, leave it to Kurumi Hollingberry to blush at the words of a second year. "I just practice a lot," she nodded. "I grew up nonmagical, so I sort of...threw myself into my studies to try and make up for never being around it." She quickly pocketed her wand and hugged her knees to her chest for a moment, the water trickling off her toes and back into the hot spring. "Just keep practicing and I am sure you can accomplish a lot....even swim."

And then they were back on the topic of graduation. Meh. "Yeah...but we all go our separate ways once we graduate. I'll probably end up in Romania for university. My best friend will still be at Hogwarts...other friends will stay in London or go back to America...it won't be the same." Which was probably exactly what Theo wanted to hear right now. Not.


"I...I don't hate it...exactly..." Kurumi said as she chewed down on her bottom lip rather furiously. She enjoyed watching it especially when Lewis was Keeper. "I enjoy watching it...just...playing it..." Cue more chewing on her lower lip. "I've seen you at tryouts though. You're brilliant." Because Selina made Kurumi sit with her in the stands and keep detailed records of everything the other teams did. Kurumi was sort of Selina's personal stat keeper.

Watching as he slipped the floaty things on his arms, Kurumi slid her feet back into the hot spring and continued to do so until she was in up to her thighs. Eeek....this felt weird...wearing her school uniform still and being submerged in water. Was sort of reminding her of their History of Magic trip to Atlantis. Eeek. She pushed herself the rest of the way in, water up to about her waist and then turned around. "Alright, you next."
