Evelyn turned towards Kurumi when she spoke. Third term as Prefect? Right How on earth didn't she know that she Kurumi the Prefect last term? She flushed as well, feeling extremely embarrassed. She looked out the window again, trying to come with something that didn't sound lame..and failed.
"You can call me Eve." Evelyn muttered, still not looking at Kurumi. Bleh. The train hadn't even started and she already made things awkward. Great. Just great.
Kurumi was oblivious to Evelyn's eyeing of Walnut, but if she had she would have warned her that the cat did not appreciate getting looks. In fact, the last person who had done so ended up with soggy shoes for a week.
Not pretty.
Kurumi's cheeks were still beat red when Evelyn spoke again, but they lightened a bit when she heard what the Hufflepuff had to say. "
O-O-Okay, Eve," she replied, testing out the nickname. It actually made things a little less awkward for Kurumi to use Eve since every time she said Evelyn she was reminded of a certain Slytherin.
Kurumi would offer up her own nickname...but she really didn't do that, contrary to what some first years thought at least.

Please? Even though he WAS a little curious who his Co-Prefect would be. Since Anya was gone too and all.
So after a few moments of awkwardly shuffling his feet outside the compartment door, Lewis did finally push it open with a deep breath. Vanilla at his feet - she had chosen to WALK which was very unlike her - he took a small step into the compartment, trying hard not to blush too much but instead focussing on the other people already there. "H-hi!" The Slytherin Prefect whose name he didn't know...the guy he'd met a year ago in Diagon Alley...Kurumi (!)...and Evelyn. Oh was she going to be his Co-Prefect? That was a nice surprise.
He directed a smile at the older Hufflepuff before glancing around the compartment again, wondering where to sit. His eyes lingered on Kurumi for a moment longer than on the others and then flickered to the seat next to her which Walnut had occupied. He really didn't want to impose on anybody and he didn't really know any of the others, so....oh, to be honest he just wanted to sit next to Kurumi for a couple of reasons but now that that seat wasn't available he didn't quite know what to do. And he could feel his cheeks flushing with color already. Maybe he really SHOULD have just sat in an empty compartment.
Vanilla had in the meantime made her way over to the Slytherin Prefect and was now trying to get onto the seat next to her. So she could get a better look at what was on the Head Girl's lap. Which was a Pygmy Puff! She liked Pygmy Puffs. Not as food or anything but just...they were fluffy. The loud purring eminating from the feline was a pretty good indication that she really did intend no harm on the little hairball. She just wanted to SEE it. And maybe nudge it with her paw. But to be able to do any of that she still had to get up onto the seat. Which wasn't too easy...
Kurumi's rosy cheeks were back and then some when Lewis entered the compartment and she felt her heartbeat increase instantly and she inhaled sharply. "
Lewis!" Kurumi chirped, a smile tugging on her lips as she greeted him. She wasn't surprised at all to see him here and had know since the middle of the summer that he was a prefect as well. The two had written almost every day over the summer and despite her already congratulating him in writing
and cookies several times, she couldn't contain another verbal one. "
Congratulations again on making prefect."
Walnut, sensing the change in his Mistress, roooooooooooolled onto his side to see just who it was that had entered and began to purr. If cats could smirk, which they could if you knew what you were looking for, Walnut certainly doing so as he raised his royal self from the seat and flopped onto Kurumi's lap, leaving the place he had just been wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open.
His tail swished back and forth when he saw HER on the ground and...WHAT?! Now the fat cat was ignoring him? Pfft. Fine. He could play that game too.
Surprised that Walnut was now on her lap, and with his back facing the compartment, Kurumi looked at the cat and tried not to roll her eyes. "
Just what are you looking so pleased with yourself about?" she asked as she returned to scratching him behind the ears. Her eyes went back to Lewis now who looked just as awkward as she had been when she had first entered the prefect compartment as a fourth year. Containing a giggle for the time being, Kurumi gestured to the now vacant space next to her. "
Do you...want to sit down?" Please?
