Just because good things were happening didn't mean that the pain from the past dulled. Her father had told her that it would diminish in time, but time also had a way of reopening old wounds when you didn't want them to.
Kurumi looked up at Kennedy again. Because she was a maid? There was nothing to be ashamed of in that professor and, well, Kurumi thought that people who made fun of those who did that job were worse than dragon dung. Making fun of someone who was doing things that you refused to do yourself? Ridiculous. Her attention was distracted when he said that he zapped someone and she sort of giggled, but not to be making fun of him. "I...never did that...but I made this one boy's chair vanish as he was sitting down." No one had realized that it had been her at that time, not even Kurumi herself. "For me...it has...always been my eyes, that, um, gave me the name. Mother makes me wear normal colored contacts whenever I back home. It is only here that I don't use them." Because they hurt.
"British," she replied. "Father went to Hogwarts. The only lion in a family of snakes." She chewed on the inside of her lip for a few moments. "What...about you?" His nationality that is.
A crooked grin spread on his lips when Kurumi giggled. The way he said it didn't make his first sign or magic seem so bad, but that wasn't even the end of it, but telling her that because of him half a high school building burned down probably wouldn't gain the same reaction as his zapping experience did.
He slightly chuckled when she said she made a boy's chair vanish. Merlin knows how many times he wished he could do that, and sometimes to the teachers that treated him differently too. Kennedy knew that was mean, but they...kind of earned it.
"You...have violet eyes," he said, leaning forward on the chair to get a better look, but as soon as he did he sat back down. He didn't want to come of as inappropriate, it's just that he wasn't sure if his eyes were playing tricks on him...and his curiousity got the best of him...again!
His eyebrows rose. Her father was the only Gryffindor in his family, that must be...hard? He's heard of the rivalry between lions and snakes, but wasn't sure if it was as strong as when the last Wizard war happened.
"My mom is from Mexico," he said, pride clearly shining in his eyes.
"My, um...f-father...he's, um, he's British." It took him GREAT effort to call that Man, father.
"Um... he was a Slytherin," he said, frowning at his hands that were intertwined on his lap.
