Kurumi nodded and she nearly jumped to her feet when she saw that the players were taking the field. Of course, her eyes first flew to Treyen and she wished that she had brought some of those wizarding binoculars with her. Look at her, speaking like a true Quidditch fan. Selina would be proud. Something in his body language seemed a bit off as Professor Vindictus took to the pitch and began his usual speech.

"For Hufflepuff actually, Seeker," she smiled. She probably ought to just go right out and say it now. She had to get used to not beating around the bush and acting as normal as possible with him, right? "Treyen Lockhart has really done a lot for me and is really important to me." Her cheeks flushed again and she chewed on her lower lip to force herself to say her next words. "Like a big brother." Hey, that didn't sound so bad nor hurt nearly as much as she thought it would.

"Kurumi Hollingberry," she chirped introducing herself. A pink glow crept across her cheeks once more. "Y-You give me too much credit. I-I grew up without magic...so...it is not really that I place one life style over the other..."

But her thoughts were distracted when the whistle blew and the match began.
Kurumi's eyes were on the pitch and it was almost as if she had put earmuffs on to the entire world. Kurumi spotted Lola and frowned at herself for not showing the girl more support. After all, she had made quite the spectacle out of Kurumi's first match. Kurumi would be sure that she got a cupcake as well - it just wouldn't have a note hidden inside it.

Kurumi did manage to hear someone calling her name, and her head snapped around to see Vashti. "Hello," she waved before her focus returned to the pitch. Slytherin certainly seemed to be dominating. Kurumi's hands clutched the bottoms of her shorts. Come on Hufflepuff....

Seeing Cookie Hater block yet another shot, Kurumi's posture slouched a bit. She did see a certain Professor's arm reach into the box of cupcakes and her eyes fell on the small badger charm. Kurumi couldn't help but giggle.

Wait, had she known that Professor Hadley was a Hufflepuff supporter or that she had been a badger herself? Kurumi wasn't sure, but it certainly seemed fitting. Kurumi seemed to find herself drawn to those from that house. Perhaps they just had an irresistible glow about them.
Kurumi's hand wandered to the necklace as Lexi had taken her full attention away from the match. Her small hands traced the contours of the lion and she looked up at Lexi practically beaming. She wanted to say thank you again, but she had already said it so many times. Saying something too much took away the meaning and weight behind the words, right? Instead, Kurumi gave Lexi one more quick squeeze. Really, Lexi was like a pillar in Kurumi's life. Sure, the older lioness might think she was a failure and too inconsistent, but to Kurumi the girl was the world.

"O-Okay," she nodded, still keeping the smile on her face. "I'll see you later then! Maybe we can have a cup of tea together in the dorms."

Tea always tasted better with Lexi.

Kurumi had only taken her eyes off the match for a few moments, but suddenly there was a roar from the crowd that could only mean one thing: the Seekers had found the Snitch. Kurumi jumped to her feet and ran to the railing just as a loud ripping noise filled the stadium. Her eyes began searching the sky for any sign of Lola and Treyen, but she began to panic when she couldn't see them anywhere.

Kurumi's hands clapped together as if in prayer and she held them up to her lips. Please be alright, please be alright... Of course, she wanted Treyen to catch the Snitch and put Hufflepuff back in the game, but right now she was more worried about him coming out unharmed. It made things even worse that she couldn't see him anywhere. Kurumi knew Lola was wicked fast and tricky, but the Lola she had flown against wasn't a dirty player. Then again, Lola had taken to thinking of Kurumi as her master, so she wouldn't do anything to hurt the Gryffindor.

There was another ripping noise and Kurumi's eyes widened when she saw Lola burst through the Hogwarts logo. Phew, at least she was safe. But...where was Treyen? She felt her heart stop when she saw him too emerge from the fabric and she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he began tumbling through the air.

"TREYEN!" she gasped as he landed hard on the field. It was a good thing her cupcakes were sitting on her seat, because she probably would have thrown them all up in the air. Professor Vindictus probably would have given her detention for frosting his field.

Professor Vindictus blew the whistle and announced Slytherin the winners, but Kurumi's focus was entirely on the Badger Prince who was holding his head. Could she run down to the field right now? She wanted to, but she wasn't sure Treyen would want her to. It had been a long time since they had last spoken, but Kurumi wasn't sure if she had permission to get close to him again. What if he rejected her again?

Kurumi returned to her seat and flopped down on the bench before picking up the cupcake made especially for him. Maybe, she could drop it off in the hospital wing for him?
