Kurumi continued to look at Rosumond in admiration and awe as the sphinx continued to speak. She felt like applauding, and did so, but a soft golf clap to show her appreciation. However, Eino outdid her by offering the sphinx a piece of parchment that she was able to catch a quick peak of its contents when the wind blew by and fluttered its pages a bit.

“Pssst! Eino!” she whispered following after him. “Your drawing is adorable!”

Then, she turned to the professor and the SUPER!AWESOME Rosamund and bowed deeply. “Thank you very much for the lesson, Professor and Lady Rosamund,” she chirped before bowing once more. “I do hope you will come to visit us again, Rosamund.” And tell more riddles and perhaps allow her to call her Rosie one day.

With that, Kurumi picked up her things, slung her bag over her shoulder, and ran to catch up with Eino.

As she did, she looked over her shoulder at the Slytherin first year who had been watching her and shivered. Born in the year of the fiery serpent...that was kind of scary...
