Well, you couldn't blame the man for trying, right? Nervously, Charles took another peek at his pocket watch and sighed. He really needed to get going to finish off that paperwork. Reluctantly, he swept his little cupcake up in the most fatherly of fatherly hugs and snuggled her for a moment. "You have a good time, pumpkin," he said. "Don't let that boy do anything to you." WHICH boy he was referring to, well, that he would leave up to everyone's imagination although he really meant every boy at Hogwarts.
After giving her once last kiss on the forehead, Charles began to walk away towards the restrooms so he could use a stall to Apparate out of here.
Giggling, Kurumi waved good bye to her father and then turned her attention back to Lewis. "
S-S-Sorry about my father. He means well...just...he is very protective." Poor man felt he had to be after everything he and his children had been through, but this certainly wasn't the time or place for that sort of talk.

He was starting to believe that he just didn't like him talking to his daughter. Not that he had anything to worry about with him.
At her mention of her American friend, he smiled softly, not really at her but rather to himself, averting his gaze down to Vanilla. "Well, I am too. From Lincoln, Nebraska actually." Lewis replied not completely sure if this was interesting for her, but sharing it anyway. When she mentioned growing up in Japan his green eyes flickered back up at her face. "Oh, so you speak Japanese then?" It was one of the language that had always fascinated him.
Getting up from his crouch again he was quite surprised to hear Kurumi's father answer his question. He purposefully did not look at him, though - the man scared him. A LOT! - but instead followed the direction he was pointing at. Platforms 8 and 9? He was pretty sure it was 9 and-
Oh. Ha yes, very funny. What had he done to the man to make him him so much?! Frowning slightly Lewis picked up Vanilla and placed her on top of his suitcase so she didn't have to walk but he also didn't have to carry her in his arms. "Thanks." He mumbled into Kurumi's general direction as he took a couple of steps towards the CORRECT wall, pulling his suitcase after him. So he was going to have to do this alone after all.
Since Kurumi's father CLEARLY didn't want him near.
Lincoln? Nebraska? Those were sort of funny sounding names and, truth be told, Kurumi could hardly remember where New York was. America was such a big place and one of the States, California if she remember correctly, was actually bigger than her entire country. "
Is it..nice there?" Kurumi really knew nothing about America besides New York due to her summer abroad there two summers ago. "
I do," she nodded. "
Mother insisted that my brothers and I learn Japanese first and then English." Which is why she still had a bit of an accent.
Kurumi looked at the back towards the barrier now and then glanced at the clock. Probably should get Lewis through there before they both missed the train. "
Keep both eyes open," she nodded. "
I closed both mine my first time and...well...that really didn't end well."
