If everyone who made a mistake, was a little wild, or broke something were forced to leave Hogwarts...then there really wouldn't be a Hogwarts at all. That, and that Nimma was already showing that she was a very capable parent in how fiercely she had tried to protect the infant all term - even if her methods were a bit...misguided.

"Thank you, Headmaster," Kurumi chirped as she bowed deeply. "I
accept all responsibilities of the position and would be pleased to do so." Besides, she was already in the kitchens often enough as it was. Kitchens...this meant...

THAT THEY WOULD BE OPENED NEXT TERM! YAAAAAAAAY!

Kurumi didn't even hear the rest of the Headmaster's speech as she knelt down next to Nimma and threw her arms around the elf to hug her - before the baby was returned to her that is. "Nimma! Hoppity can stay! It's brilliant! Pips will be to pleased to hear this. He was very concerned at the Gryffindor table about you and the baby." Kurumi rolled back on her heels, but remained in kneeling position this time to look at Nimma. "Just, this time, promise that you will ask for help if it becomes too much to handle instead of trying to do it all yourself? After all, isn't that what Hogwarts is all about? Helping each other?"

See that Professor Vindictus? Putting the lesson about school pride to practice in a real life situation!
