Pulling some standard chocolate chip cookies from her bag, Kurumi handed them to Sarah - and anyone who wanted them really - and then turned her attention to the growing crowd. Merlin this was turning out to be a strange term. It ALMOST made her glad that it was her last one and that she would hopefully be spending the next term in Romania around something normal - like dragons and experimenting with hybrid breeding.

Yep, peeeeeeeeeeerfectly normal.

Kurumi breathed a small sigh of relief when the librarian showed up...and shot the portrait a LOOK when she said she had been sleeping. Well, that answered her question from earlier about whether or not the Fat Lady had heard her - she hadn't.

Rolling her eyes, Kurumi glanced over her shoulder when she heard more footsteps that ended up belonging to the Groundskeeper. "Seems as though the enchantments here have gone a bit...astray. We can't get into our common room and everyone who was inside was repelled out," Kurumi explained. It reminded her of the conversation they had had in his office about the enchantments on the train. Then there was the Restricted Section losing all its enchantments as well...

Did that mean that... Kurumi gasped for a moment and scooted a little c loser to the Groundskeeper and lowered her voice. "Sir...you don't think that other enchantments are...going astray as well, do you? Like those that make the castle unplottable..." They had been at risk at being exposed to the nonmagical world before...and the way all these enchantments were suddenly breaking and going berserk...the seventh year was beginning to get more nervous about the possible bigger picture.
