Her eyes sort of went wide like an owl's at his next suggestion and now it was her turn to gasp. Hang it up on the wall? Like a constant reminder of her failure? No thank you, professor. Kurumi picked up the piece of the broom with Simon's signature on it and put it in her pocket. That was really the only piece that held real sentimental value to her. "That...I...that won't be necessary," she wibbled, patting her pocket where the large splinter was. She could have come up with some lame excuse like she didn't have enough room on her wall to display it, but that would be a lie. Kurumi liked to keep things clean and simple.
Ack! Why do females have to cry? WHY?
"Don't cry, Kurumi," Vindictus immediately replied in response to her tears.
"This broom served you well, and I know it's hard to let go."
He was about to say something else when he was saved by a knock on the door.

She sucked in some air as she pulled the sling of her bag tighter into her right shoulder. Then she lightly placed the back of her closed hand on the door and with another inhale knocked twice. Now to wait if Professor Vindi's inside.
"Come in!" he called out and hoped that it wasn't another female student on the verge of tears.
If it was, he was going to make a new school rule - No crying in a male professor's office or classroom, including the offices of the Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster, as well as inside the Quidditch Stadium.
