Wow.. Enter Stern!Kurumi. And he did feel badly when she said how she didn't like people lying straight to her face and all. She probably didn't like lying at all - even if it weren't straight to her face - but he didn't ask. Cookies? He looked to Tori with a puzzled expression. Where the heck were they gonna get COOKIES to give her?! Anyway. "Oh, uh, yeah... we really just wanna see the mermaid," he nodded quickly. "And we'll leave right after we see her - promise!"
Pleaaaaaassssse?

Tori turned and smiled sweetly at the Gryffindor girl. "Look, if we give you cookies, can you just let us stay in here for like five more minutes? We just wanna see the mermaid."
She blinked her long eyelashes very, very innocently.
Kurumi's hands flew to her lips. WAIT?! There was a mermaid in the prefects' bathroom?! Why hadn't anyone told her about this? Kurumi had always wanted to see and speak with a real live mermaid. Last term, at the lagoon, she thought that perhaps they were going to get the chance to do so...which had only added to her disappointment when they hadn't.
"
N-N-N-No need for cookies," she said shaking her hands in front of her face. Her eyes were ablaze with excitement. "
But...there is a mermaid in here?! A real one?!"
SPOILER!!: Treyen

And he was very much uncomfortable discussing Sierra with Kurumi for some odd reason. That's why he decided to take a seat before speaking again, "You know, I don't think that's it. I don't think she hates you." Not really. Hate was a rather strong feeling. Maybe Sierra was just jealous of the Gryffindor girl in front of him, but 'hate' her? Who could possibly hate Kurumi? "Not everyone has to like us, perhaps that's it, she just doesn't like you too much," exactly what was Treyen saying? And WHY was he saying it?
Because if he was trying to make Kurumi feel better, THAT wasn't going to help.
He cleared his throat before looking back up at her, "Some people don't like others until they get to know them, that's what I meant." Yes, of course. That was totally it.
Wise, amber eyes were on her, and he just eyed her curiously as she said that she didn't know how to act around him. Like, what did that mean? She couldn't act as if nothing had happened, because MANY things had happened for her to just forget it all, but...did that even mean that she could still possibly like him? No, right? No, of course not. He was afraid to ask, though, it wasn't a question you asked so freely when the feelings of that other person weren't the same.
"I wish we could go back to being friends like we used to...," he started to say, still sitting in the seat he'd chosen, "...I could, yet I don't know if you're there yet...," he was trying to be careful enough in his choice of words, "...just let me know when you're ready." He'll be waiting, for she was a friend he didn't want to lose.
Kurumi remained standing as Treyen took a seat. She wanted to sit down next to him, but something about everything that was going on in that moment prevented her from doing it. She just couldn't bring herself to want to get that close Treyen, not right now.
"
You...might be right," she said slowly. After all, why would someone that hated you runaway from their own home to yours? Kurumi still wasn't entirely sure why Sierra had chosen to attach herself to her father and come all the way to Japan. Well, she knew WHY but not WHY she had chosen Kurumi. "
Not everyone does like me," she said with a faint smile. Treyen knew that already though, right? "
Hogwarts is the first place I had friends...and people I can trust...like you..."
She simply nodded as he continued. Nothing more to say on the matter regarding Sierra. That was an entirely different matter from the one at hand. Right now, they really needed to worry about their relationship with each other...whatever was left of it.
"
But...Treyen...I don't think we can go back to being like how we were before," she said with a faint smile. Not that that was a bad thing, but she wasn't sure that it was good thing either. Her expression was softer now, but still showed a little fear underneath her violet gaze. "
I...I don't know if it is good that you are already able to move past everything that was said and done...but..." But what? But she wasn't ready? Didn't understand how he could forgive and forget so easily? Completely leave her in the dust? A lot of things swam through her head.
She completely lost her train of thought and blurted out the first thing that came to her mind.
"
Adam is back."
