Kurumi looked up and wasn't entirely sure who the boy was speaking to, but seeing as no one responded to him, she took it upon herself to do the honors. "
If you look over there," she said, gesturing towards
one of the walls in the common room. "
You will see there is a notice board that gets updated by our professors, Jai, and myself."
"
Thank you Lucy," Kurumi smiled back with a slight hint of blush on her cheeks. "
I'm...doing alright." Could be better considering that she was still worried about the house elves. Even the food had tasted off...
Was there some tension in the air? Had the boy suddenly decided that he hated her for some reason? Whatever the reason, it was clear that the air between the two of them had awkwardness written all over it.
Kurumi's head snapped back towards the fireplace.
Kurumi saw Selina walk in and a small smile crept across her face. Really, she should have scolded her for punching Adam in the stomach, but as long as the boy hand't fainted or anything, she was going to let it slide this time. Besides, Kurumi had made contact first.
When she saw her best friend gesture towards the dorms, Kurumi nodded and mouthed
10 minutes to her. She would finish up down here and then head upstairs. She had the feeling that neither her nor Selina would be sleeping much that night.
"
You have a twin brother?" Kurumi asked. Her eyes widened a bit again. How strange that just because the boy had been born in Japan that he was given a Japanese name. Not only that, but it was the name of her father's dog. Kurumi tried not to laugh. "
I am actually from Japan, but it is a very small town. You've probably never heard of it." It certainly wasn't Tokyo to be sure.
And then there was Rose again with the kittens. Kurumi sighed and walked over to her. "
Rose, I am going to have to ask you to keep these guys in your room or take them to see our new Care of Magical Creatures professor." They had already discussed this in the dormitories. One cat. Not five.
Oh, there was the boy she had met earlier at the feast. Blushing a bit, Kurumi waved first and then called out. "
AV! You should com join us," she smiled. Well, by join us she really meant her and Walnut. How awkward.
