That was when Kurumi tried her hand at sarcasm. She made a small face, vut she had to admit that Kurumis sarcasm was much improved from the girl she had met her first year. In fact, that girl was much changed. If a twelve year old kurumi could meet her older self she would be very proud. Selina was.
And to no surprise to Selina, Kurumi tried once more and got it. Girl was brilliant.
The redhead applauded her friend quite dramatically and said in the most posh manner she could muster, "Brava, Miss Hollingberry. Ten points to Gryffindor, for such an exquisite hat. You look Devine."
Kurumi adjusted the hat on her head a little bit so it was slightly titled to the side. This was nice, the two of them just sitting around and performing magic and not having anything stressful or depressing to talk about. Sure, there still were things there, but Kurumi also felt that she really needed to just take a step back from things and just have moments like this to put things in perspective.
"
Why thank you, Miss Skylar," Kurumi laughed as she removed it from her head and twirled it around in her hands for a moment. "
I do rather like the bow..." Kurumi had always liked bows. Maybe she could somehow include that in her hat for class? Once her hat was back to being a piece of tie, Kurumi sort of just stared at it again. Okay, she was NOT going to make a pirate hat for obvious reasons and it was becoming more and more difficult to not think about making one of those because, well, she really didn't have another clear image in her head at the moment.
Ribbons...bows...think about bows...big bows...or, erm, maybe not big bows...but just bows in general. Red, white, and blue colors seemed to stick in her head, so already she was moving in the right direction, along with stripes and polka dots. Even better. Definitely not pirate related. An image began to form, only she had no idea if it really was related to the theme or not but it just felt as though it did, and once it was clear enough Kurumi repeated the wand movement and spoke the incantation. "
Tectum Caput."
The piece of Gryffindor tie began to morph again and after a few moments looked down at her
new hat.
