Having lingered outside the Great Hall ushering students and those eager to be sorted, Kurumi made her way inside and resisted the urge to fuss with her bangs as they came dangerously close, once again, to poking her in the eye. She made her way to the Gryffindor table where she smiled at her
Quidditch Captain who was already present. "
Hey Selina, holding down the fort already?," Kurumi winked as she continued towards the front of the table, a
rather LARGE box in her hands once again. The box was large enough that Kurumi had to waddle her way through the hall, peering around its sides to be able to see everyone properly.
"
Arabella, nice to see you again. Hope you had a good summer," Kurumi waved at her fellow fifth year before turning her attention in the direction of a younger student. "
Tiffinay, nice to see you as well. I hope you are ready for the term." The lions could certainly use some active student leaders in the second year class, and she was certainly one that Kurumi was expecting great things from.
Large box still in her hands, Kurumi was just about to set it down when an
older girl who Kurumi didn't recognize came to the table. Chewing on her bottom lip for just a small moment as she attempted to NOT stutter, Kurumi bowed in the girl's direction. "
Hello, I'm Kurumi Hollingberry, I don't believe we have met yet." And if they had and Kurumi had forgotten, then she really terrible...or if they had been at the school ALL this time. That had happened last term with Gideon. Awkward.
Kurumi then saw that
Rose had made her way to the table, and Kurumi offered her a smile as well. "
Rose, hello. Have a good summer?" she asked. "
How are all those kittens doing, although...I imagine that they are not kittens anymore." Talking to Rose about having too many pets in the dorms was the first thing Kurumi had had to deal with as a prefect, so it was etched very firmly in her memory...and that wasn't exactly a good thing.
And then one more student made their way to the table, and a
newly sorted one at that. "
Congratulations Gryffindor," Kurumi applauded, hoping that others would take part in the gesture as well. "
My name is Kurumi Hollingberry, one of your prefects," she continued with a small bow and a cheerful smile.
