"Maybe let them have one before the match and tell them they have to do the best they can to get more after. Use them as encouragement as well," he added with a chuckle.
"
It's a deal," Kurumi winked. "
I have a few friends who are trying out for the team this year. I..." Kurumi's cheeks blushed like they were on fire. "
...I've never seen or played Qudditch before, unless you count last year's flying lesson." She took a peek up at Simon. So many people in the wizarding world looked like they were going to drop over dead from shock whenever she told them this. "
Simon, why do you like Quidditch?" She didn't mean that in a bad way or disconcerting way, she was just rather curious as to why the entire wizarding world seemed obsessed with the sport.

What was wrong with her today that fate decided to give her a bad day...and perhaps bad luck?
Sighing and trying to smile (though it was evident she was distressed a little what with all that happened to her) she decided to march right in and take a seat. She saw a couple of first years bustle about speaking with her other housemates and remembered how much she was like that during her first year...well...she was shyier last year and had trouble speaking straight to even her own housemates, but she was determined to improve on that and well, she did improve but still had a long way to go. It was all thanks to kurumi, adam, cass and more of her friends that Heather's stuttering lessened when speaking."well then..." she said to no one in particular, turning to her robe's pockets that contained her Camera. "no use in being shy...i wonder what the first years this year are like..." she giggled. she did want to be called 'big sister' for once, after all she was always mistaken as a really little girl even if she did grow up. (thanks to that incurable height of hers.)
"
Heather!" Kurumi called from her seat at the table. Wait, why was she sitting?! Kurumi jumped to her feet and ran over to Heather and threw her arms around her. "
It's been too long?! How are you? How is Mr. Panda?" Then her eyes fell on Heather's camera. Her super amazing moving picture camera. They were going to have to take lots and lots and lots and lots of pictures this term as well. Kurumi still had the picture of them after they had eaten Canary Creams last year.

Maybe he just saw some of this girl's friends with Elyon. He shrugged and noticed she sort of bowed as he shook her hand. It was a little odd but, ah well.
Christopher thought back on his first year and tried to recall a girl handing out cookies. "Actually, I think I might remember that." He didn't remember much, but he deffinately did remember something. "I'm sorry, no. I've been at Hogwarts since my first year. You probably don't remember me because I was usually off reading in my room or just hidden behind a book. I'm trying to work on being more social." He blushed. He was too shy for his own good.
"
Oh, I may have been," Kurumi said searching her memory again. There had been so many people in the compartment though. "
It was rather crowded, so I may not have gotten the chance to talk with her." Then she was blushing again as the conversation turned to complimenting her cookies. "
T-T-Thank you, I r-r-r-really enjoy baking." She smiled, but had to look down at the floor to control her blushing and any potential hair color changes that may be happening. After a quick inspection of the tips, she found that her hair was still black. So far so good. "
That would explain why I never saw you," she nodded. Oh? Wanting to be more social? Kurumi knew just what to do. "
Well, Christopher, if it is friends you need, I know a Gryffindor guy who could really use some more guy friends. Of course, you are free to talk to me anytime. I spend a lot of time reading in the common room."

The trip to New York had been hard on her. It wasn't meant to be fun, and it sure wasn't. She thought about what had happened and a tear dripped down her cheek. She tried to wipe it away before anyone noticed.
Then another familiar face made their appearance at the Gryffindor table. "
Sohpia! Sohpia!" Kurumi said waving her arms. She pointed up to the dancing parade of Gryffindor cookie shields. "
I baked cookies again!" Kurumi was looking forward to their morning coffee and cookies this term.

"
Congratulations on making it in Gryffindor," Kurumi smiled nodding in approval of her new scarlet and gold additions to her robes. "Somehow, I knew you would."
"
My summer was fine, but the best part was having Adam visit - I think I already told you that. I was ready to go back to London though. My father couldn't take me this year, said he had something very serious to do with work and he took two of my brothers with him...mother looked worried, but she always does..." Kurumi had to admit that she was worried herself. Her hand reached for her robe pocket where she still had the strange Quibbler from the train.

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who likes the pumpkin juice," Kurumi giggled. She was going to have to ask the House Elves about the recipe since her attempt over the summer had not faired well. "
I wonder how they make it..." she said aloud.
