Turning to the Hufflepuff who had volunteered so gallantly earlier Thereos said "Can you with the help of the girl with the red badge pour tea and hand out tea mugs to everyone in the class before we continue on?" Expecting them to scurry to take on the task he lectured on "Tealeaf reading is one of the most common forms of divination which is widely used all over the world. Tea in general we drink to sooth us, for comfort and for refinement. It’s also good to drink tea with a bit of honey in it if your throat is aching."

"When the girl’s have distributed you a tea mug drink up the tea, but don’t throw out the leaves in the bottom we need them for our divination. Get to work and don’t burn your tongues!" Thereos said as he waited for the class to be ready to read the leaves in their cups.

So, she stood up, bowed slightly to Thereos to signal that she understood what was going on, and then headed over towards the cabinet.

As she did, she walked past Hufflepuff and smiled. "I'll get the tea cups then." After all, she had been the one to ask specifically about the tea in the beginning. Kurumi smiled and summoned a large tray to fill with white tea cups - that was the best color for this sort of thing, right? Balancing the tray on one of her arms, Kurumi walked around and placed a tea cup for each student on their desk.
