Placing her wand back in her pocket now, Kurumi looked over at Tennessee and smiled, a faint blush once again rising in her cheeks. "Just performing my duties to the best of my ability," she mumbled. Kurumi had been delivering cookies to her fellow Gryffindors ever since her first year. The gesture came with the Japanese custom of always having a gift whenever you went some where new or were going somewhere where you would have to be looked over. Hogwarts certainly fit the bill. "Baking is a hobby of mine. I spend most of my time in the kitchens really. Well, there and the common room and the library."


Oh Merlin...she had broken a first year! o___________O

Kurumi sort of flailed as Anya giggled her head off beside her, but was able to make out her question. "He is in Slytherin." Cue gasps? Shocked expression? Some sort of outburst? Or, perhaps the little first year would simply stop bouncing all over the place from laughter.

"I did," Kurumi nodded. Did being the key part of that sentence. "I really enjoyed it. The team is great and we have been lucky to have some fantastic captains, your brother among them. This year, my best friend is the captain." Which was sort of frightening to think about. Kurumi had the feeling that there was going to be more than golf balls being thrown around this term.

"Just call me Kurumi," she said with a wink. Really, there was no need to say prefect each time. It was a mouth full, especially if you tacked on her last name as well.

Kurumi giggled as one of the new lions reached up and grabbed a cookie from the air. Good, that is what they were there for. She laughed a little harder as his comment about paying for it later, and shot Selina a quick look. Maybe the red head should put the entire house through a training program of some sort. Evening work out routines in the common room or something?

"Well, you certainly won't have that problem here," Kurumi nodded. Even if Professor Scabior was always looking as though he hated the world, he was teaching for a reason and knew a lot about the subject. Surely that meant that he was enjoying it and willing to share, yes?

Just to tease the little first year, Kurumi pushed a tray of freshly steamed vegetables towards her. "You wouldn't want to hurt their feelings or not listen to the Headmaster."

"Summer was fantastic," she replied with a bright smile. "I did a lot of traveling. I've hardly ever been outside of Japan, with the exception of school, so it has been nice to see other parts of the world." And there he went, snatching up cookies...or trying to anyway. Kurumi reached up and plucked one out of the air, handing it to him. "Here," she laughed.
