While he waited for somebody to answer, he turned to write "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" onto the blackboard, a little under his name and class.

Kurumi smiled at Professor Zookara and was rather excited to be on the discussion of fairy tales again. Her mood darkened a bit when she was reminded of Patroclus last year and how he had told the class the REAL story behind Snow White whereas she had brought up True Love's Kiss.

"Professsor Zookara," Kurumi chirped with her hand up in the air. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of the many stories collected by the Brothers Grimm." Kurumi paused seeing that some other students had already given rather lengthy summaries of the plot. "In the story, jealous and vain queen attempts to get rid of her beautiful step-daughter, Snow White, who takes refuge with seven dwarfs in their forest home. The queen changes into a witch and tempts Snow White with a poisoned apple which puts her into an everlasting sleep, until a prince finds her in a glass coffin and awakens her with True Love's Kiss. Actually it was their first kiss, so I suppose the correct wording would be Love's First Kiss." Kurumi's cheeks flushed a bit and she tugged on her hair. "True Love's Kiss is the most powerful thing in the world."

At least, that is what the stories always implied.

"Professor Zookara," Kurumi asked tilting her head to the side. "Do you know why in non-magical fairy tales it seems to always come down to a kiss? In the Little Mermaid, she had to receive True Love's Kiss if she didn't want to turn into sea foam. There are many others as well..." Not that Kurumi was complaining. She liked the idea of a kiss being very powerful, though she would never say it outloud.
