When the Head of the department rounded the corner, Kurumi recognized him immediately and her breath caught in her throat. She HAD seen him before, at the party held by Lord Borr towards the end of her second year over at the gift bag tables. She was pretty sure that her mother was using the T-shirt as a dish rag now, but no need to go into those details.

Before Kurumi could speak, Sierra stood right in front of her and caused her to lose her balance a bit as she attempted to pivot to the left to avoid colliding with the curly haired she-snake. Her nose wrinkled a bit, was that really necessary?

When Sierra had finished, Kurumi stepped to the side and stood riiiiiiight beside Sierra, not in front of her. "Mr. Sakura," Kurumi said with a bow. She would add a 'nice to see you again,' but she wasn't entirely sure that was true. "Kurumi Hollingberry, Gryffindor representative." And she added another small, but awkward, bow. "Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to speak with us."

He couldn't be all that bad. His last name meant cherry blossoms after all.
