"Ummmmmphhhhh!" She grunted, pulling and tugging the tinsel away and off of her.
SNAAAAAAAAPPP!
The last piece of tinsel had finally come off of her, taking a few strands of hair with it. "UGH!"
Pocketing her wand for now, Kurumi tried to help pull more of the tinsel away from the Ravenclaw while glancing over her shoulder at Peeves JUST in case he decided that he wanted to wrap Kurumi up in tinsel as well.
Oh..ouch...that...looked sort of painful...pulled out her own hair like that. "
Um...at least you aren't wrapped up in tinsel anymore?" Kurumi asked meekly. Glass is half full, right?

Christmas spirit?
Kurumi raised an eyebrow at the poltergeist. She was pretty sure that he was the one that wasn't in the Christmas spirit... "
My name is Kurumi Hollingberry," she replied calmly, not letting him get to her as best she could.
Seriously, wasn't he out and about a LOT more than usual?

would make it out of this. She would.
"My mom is my world. I just can't imagine her not being here."
She looked down at her box once again then remembered she had something for Kurumi, too.
"Oh," she said and pulled a plastic-covered, yellow-rosed
bookmark out her robe pockets.
"This is for you. I have to admit that I really didn't have someone in mind when I made it, but...I guess going through this with my mom has given me a better respect for you." She held the bookmark out to Kurumi. "I don't...know if we'll be the best of friends, Kurumi, but...here's to a start?" Opening up the next box of ornaments Kurumi bit down hard on her lip when Sierra spoke again. "
S-Sorry...I didn't mean...you know," she replied softly as she removed a candy cane colored orb from the box. Kurumi wasn't really sure what the point of sharing that had been really, maybe it was mostly for her to talk about her own feelings regarding the loss of her mother. There were a lot of other things she could share, ways of coping with it or to make memories last...but Sierra was still clinging on to hope. Kurumi couldn't take that away from her. Kurumi had never had that. The outcome had been decided from the moment the doctors had discovered the illness.
What came next...surprised her. Kurumi had surprised herself in making something for Sierra, so she was taken aback a bit right now - especially with Sierra's words. A part of Kurumi was almost upset about this, in a bad way. So, seeing how Kurumi had suffered and cried and slowly watched her mother die had earned her respect from Sierra? That seemed like a cruel sort of joke...only something in the Slytherin's tone softened Kurumi's train of thought. "
Thank you...Sierra," Kurumi said as she accepted the bookmark from her. "
Kind of...ironic in a way...with you calling me Dictionary Eater and all," she managed to laugh, hoping to somewhat soften the mood slightly since the Gryffindor was feeling rather awkward at the moment.
