Checking the date at the bottom of the page, Kurumi noted that it had been taken before her oldest brother had been born, and therefore most likely before he had met her mother. Still, none of this explained why he was in the G section or why his appearance had altered slightly. That still made no sense to her.

Kurumi was just about to reach over and grab a piece of parchment from notes from last term’s research when there suddenly was something leaning over her shoulder. “WAAAAAAAH!” she squeaked flailing her arms for a moment, paper flying all over the place, and the large book falling to the ground with a soft thud before lying face down into the floor.

Her hair had turned a burnt orange tinge in her surprise and she hid her face behind a piece of parchment before she realized that it had only been Treyen. He sure did have a habit of appearing out of nowhere and making her all flustered.

O-O-oh…hello Treyen,” she said blushing the color of a ripe strawberry and lowering the parchment slowly. She then bent down and picked up the book she had dropped and put it back on her lap. “Y-Y-Yes…and no…” she replied a little sadly pointing to the name printed in sharp black ink under the man’s picture. “Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Charles Edward Gaunt,” she read looking back up at Treyen. Surely he made the connection that her last name wasn’t Gaunt?

The rosy color in her cheeks only intensified as she looked back and forth between the book and Treyen, but the rusty color in her hair had faded back to black - which was some comfort at least.

"Y-Y-You come here to study Arithmancy?" she asked innocently pointing to hsi book. Distractions were a good thing, yes?


Oh, for Gilderoy's sake!

He shouldn't sneak up on Kurumi, like, ever. Because his heart raced faster thanks to her little freak out moment. Plus, paper was EVERYWHERE now. Awesome.

He accio'd some of her parchments and handed them over. Such a gentleman, no? "Hi Kurumi," he said, giving her a small smile, no need for sunglasses this time around. But wait, yes and no? "What do you mean?" he frowned. And why was Kurumi looking at her father's pictures in the first place?

"But it says Gaunt, you're Hollingberry," he pointed out, after reading the lines while she voiced them. Unless her father had a name change, of course, which can happen.

However, the 'Gaunt' family name...it sounded familiar.

He chuckled and shook his head as he moved an armchair closer to Kurumi and took a seat there, "Not just for Arithmancy," he said, shaking his head, "I like the library," even if it means that this is the last place he could ever dream of finding someone he enjoyed running into. "But, Numerology serves as a distraction," he gestured towards the book. Again, Hadley should be proud.

By the way, he pretended not to notice the change of colors her hair had all the while.
