Where had she put her sunglasses? Perhaps it was due to the sun shining through the window and hitting his pearly whites in just the right way, or perhaps it was just his exceptionally sparkly personality, but Kurumi found herself temporarily blinded by Treyen. She rather wished that she had just kept those sunglasses in her pocket like she had jokingly told Walnut she would do, but the cat clearly had other plans as he had run off with them before she could follow through.

Cheeks red as roses in spring, Kurumi just nodded to his comment about Hufflepuffs slide. “I’ve also heard that they are very good finders. Perhaps that is why you and Aslan get along so well.” Random comment and she wasn’t entirely sure where she had heard that remark about Hufflepuffs before. Perhaps it had been from her older brothers. They weren’t very fond of Puffs though. Ryunosuke had said that he tried to transfigure a few into cream puffs during his 6th year at Hogwarts. Kurumi wondered if Treyen would still retain his smile if he was a cream puff – not that she really wanted to turn him into one.

“Professor Lafay is very good at what she does,” Kurumi agreed with a slight shiver. “I suppose her methods sometimes surprise and scare me. Like…removing Josh’s hands and removing a bone from my arm during my first term...” Kurumi had thought about going to speak with her though, but she always stood frozen in her brown shoes at the thought. “I’ve thought about asking her if there is a potion I can take to, you know, control these changes,” she looked over at Treyen sheepishly.

“No…I’ve found what I was looking for…I think,” she said calmly as she took note of the date of the Daily Prophet on her note parchment. She folded up the article and set it on the table. That was enough of that for now.

Kurumi began flailing around a bit more at his next comment. “Y-Y-You don’t look like an arm chair! N-N-Not that you wouldn’t make a good one if you wanted to. For…disguise purposes or what have you…” She was in full flailing mode now and the teal in her hair was quickly fading back to black. Which was good seeing as she hadn’t yet noticed the change due to TREYEN HOLDING HER HAND! The combination of THAT and him congratulating on Quidditch was enough to make her embarrassed, but then him thinking that she didn’t want to share a seat with him sent her over the edge.

“OfcourseIdo!” she squeaked letting go of her legs so quickly that she became a little unbalanced and ended up swaying a bit and she jumped a few inches out of her seat. Her head ended up resting on his shoulder for a brief moment, but it was long enough to make her heart skip a beat and a soft gasp to escape her lips. Not only did he have a nice smile, but he smelled alright as well. No wonder Walnut preferred him over some of the other students she hung out with.

When she had finally regained composure, she realized that she was essentially half sitting on him – must have happened when she had jumped – and she quickly scooted herself off and found a seat on the chair.

Awkward…really awkward…

She bit her lower lip from making things even more embarrassing.

“S-S-S-So….” she said feeling utterly ridiculous. “Numbers…” They had started out talking about Numerology after all. "What's your favorite number?"
