Kurumi glanced over at who her dueling partner would be and sort of winced. Not because of their house or year or anything of that sort, but because of who it was. Kurumi really didn't WANT to duel with Oakey having already cast a spell against him during the Capture the Flag game for Charms class. She was still feeling bad about that but, at least this time, she wouldn't be launching cookies in his direction.

Nodding to the Muggle Studies professor when their names were called, Kurumi approached the platform and stood in the center facing the younger Hufflepuff and bowed towards him. Once the initial greetings were over, she turned and took her ten paces and turned to face him, immediately getting into her dueling position, only Kurumi chose not to attack.

"Prehenso," she said, twisting and tapping both her wand hand and feet. No use in using Expelliarmus or any spells to try and make her slip.

Now it was his move.
