Kurumi entered Professor Zookara's office and the first thing that caught her eyes were the rubber ducks. Kurumi tilted her head to the side and stared for a few moments. Rubber ducks? Really? Those things really served no purpose. She had played with a few while taking a bath when she was younger, but she wasn't sure what the fascination wizards seemed to have with them.

As Kurumi took a seat, she also noticed the large spread of picture frames facing the opposite direction. What sort of personal photos did the frames hold? Perhaps they were embarrassing photos like Professor Zookara in a rubber duck costume. Kurumi set Walnut down on her lap and the cat immediately curled up into a ball. He had insisted on not being left alone in the Gryffindor common room with Heather's animated stuff panda. The thing frightened him.

"Good evening, professor," Kurumi smiled as she pet Walnut. The cat's tail began swishing back and forth a bit. "Did you have a good holiday?"
