Now that Walnut had been...dealt with, Kurumi's shoulders relaxed a little and she wondered if there was some sort of conjuration spell that could work for this. Maybe she could use a switching spell, throw a towel at the cat but then switch it for a slice of ham? That WOULD be killing two birds with one stone, disciplining Walnut while working on her magic at the same time.

"I...have been using a spray bottle...but it hasn't been very effective." Obviously. Maybe it was a liquids thing? "I'll try a few new things. At least I know I have ham to fall back on." As weird as that sounded coming out of the sixth year's mouth, it was also a bit of a relief.

Kurumi blushed a little at Professor Williamson's next words. True, she DID still have a lot to learn....but you had to admit that not being able to handle a cat was not providing the best outlook in a future with more...complicated creatures. "It's...sort of been a dream of mine since I found out I was a witch," she nodded. "Most people look at me strangely when I mention it..." Probably because she was so small and seemingly meek. Not many pictured Kurumi Hollingberry's future career as one that involved taming dragons. "I don't really know what my options are though." Where to study after Hogwarts. What to study. What sorts of subcategories there were in the field....everything.
