As for the trip? Penelope nodded. "Yeah, I'm alright." Her knee was bruised a bit, but nothing was broken, so she considered herself alright. "You?" Kurumi looked alright of course, but maybe she'd already been treated by the Healer or something.
Kurumi smiled and winked
THANKS TREYEN! at Penelope, refraining from making a comment about hoping the cookie would prevent her from eating the actual table. Not that Penelope had actually tried that before....not yet at least.
"
Glad to hear it," Kurumi chirped. "
I don't want anymore of my favorite lions getting hurt." This time she refrained from winking, but just barely. "
I'm alright, now at least. Just glad to be in the Great Hall."

Just then he saw something coming at him and saw that it was a cookie.. who was levitating it towards him? he looked for the source and saw that it was that girl the one that had just welcomed him. Did she give cookies to all the first years? cause that was kinda cool! He clasped the cookie in his hand and smiled a genuine smile this time.. ok so maybe he could grow to like the girl as long as he got regular cookies "Thanks.. er.. sorry I don't know your name. Didn't get to ask with everything that happened at Kings Cross" he said as he took a bite of the cookie.. which he had to say was del-i-cious!
His mom didn't bake him cookies unless he went over to her house that she shared with her new muggle husband.. but he had to admit even those did not taste as good as this one did. Ok cookie lady.. you got Dylan's attention now.. just keep these cookies coming! These lovely cookies.
"
You're welcome," Kurumi replied with another small smile. She wasn't going to mention the platform, not after everything else that had happened today, but then he went and brought it up, causing a smaaaaaaall smirk to form on her lips before she was back to being calm and non-smirky. "
I'm Kurumi Hollingberry, one of your Gryffindor prefects."
Just to let that thought sink in.

"Oh.. I'm an Irish Spiderman. Yeah, I go around doing a justice to Ireland, webslinging and all that good stuff." His mom needed to finish up on his costume.
"
Um....yes, I suppose you can think of it like that. Just like with any sort of transportation in the nonmagical world you need a liscense in the wizarding world as well." It was sort of nice to be able to relate to someone like this, someone who knew the world she grew up in. It was exhausting sometimes trying to explain things to Selina. Not that Kurumi minded really, it was just exhausting.
"
What's.....webslinging?" Cue some confused rapid blinking.

With that in mind she lifted the flyers over her head and yelled out, "Oi! Gryffindor! Listen up! This is your Captain speaking! HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN HIM?" Please take a flyer.
Yep, see, there was Selina...still handing out flyers and still being all panicking mama over her bat. Kurumi knew she would be the same if her favorite cookie cutters went missing, so she had to be a little sympathetic towards her best friend.
Still...that didn't stop her from giggling juuuuuuuuuuuuuust a little.

"They sound pretty cool... I've never seen a house elf before though actually" she said trailing off quietly before she smiled at the idea of learning to bake... after only making the ones out of the packet with the maid she hadn't exactly learnt much but she knew you had to be patient while baking them! "Thanks! And that's sooo cool, I'll definitely be coming to those lessons then!"
Grinning at the idea of it she smiled at Kurumi. "So how long have you been Prefect? In fact how long have you been here? What are the classes like? And the teachers? I mean I met the Groundskeeper because he let me hold Millie and he was really nice but are all the Professors like that? she started asking questions quickly, curious to learn everything she could about Hogwarts before the classes actually started and she figured everything out for herself.
"
Oh they are fantastic!" Kurumi exclaimed, clapping her hands together once for added effect. "
One was just here a moment ago...." Where had he gone off to? Kurumi took a quick peek under the table to see if he was there, but no such luck. Probably making some more rounds. The house elves were rather busy this time of the term. "
I look forward to see you there, assuming I get permission. If you have any flavors you specifically want to see, just let me know."
And Kurumi was back to blushing again. Prefecting. It always made her blush a little...talking about it. Meh. "
I've been a prefect since my fourth year," she nodded slowly, glancing down at the table and trying to find some way to occupy her hands before they started fidgeting too much. "
I'm a seventh year and, well, the professor are all great. Our Head of House is Professor Bentley. She teaches Herbology. We have a lot of new faces this term...so you'll find out what they are like along with me." Kurumi ventured a glance at the staff table and noticed that one of the new professors, an elderly woman, was already in some sort of dispute with Professor Scabior and the Healer. Yep, she liked her already...whoever she was.
