Finishing up, Kurumi walked over to where Professor Romanos was sitting on her mat and jumped a bit when the door had closed shut. The silence was almost frightening for some reason, but the warm glow provided by the sun put the Gryffindor at ease.

Kurumi picked up her mat and set it a few feet away from the professor, not too far but not too close either. She then sat on her mat in perfect seiza position and looked over at the professor.

"Um...thank you again...for agreeing to offer me private lessons," she said with an obvious hint of shyness in her tone.
