She still liked the idea of a skit sort of...or maybe more of a talent show type approach. "What if we each stand in a line and let Kurumi walk up to us and change her hair to the same color as ours - to show that Mystique can become anyone?" Did that sounds easy enough? "And maybe once she changes to us, we can each just say a fact about Mystique. Just a short one, so there's enough for everyone." Not wanting to discount Ella's idea, she added, "We could try to make them rhyme if you guys think it should be song-like." She smiled at Ella, wondering if this suggestion would be okay with everyone.

But then Ella brought up a good point. With so little time to prepare, a skit probably wouldn't be so feasible after all. Especially with so many of them. And really wouldn't be fair if only a few of them got to speak. So that idea was out. "You're right, it wouldn't really work." A song though? Em wasn't much of a singer, she actually avoided so much as singing in the shower. "I don't know..... would we have enough time to write a good song, though?" Professor Cerulean had only given them ten minutes and who knew how much of that they had used up talking about it.

"Let's go with that," she said to Eliza's suggestion. "Easy, to the point, and informative. Plus, each of us would only have one line to remember and everybody can remember one line." Not to mention, they had to be close to having only five minutes left by now. Which was five that they would need to memorize their facts.

She hoped she would remember both. And she hadn't noticed the first year until she spoke. Cassia flashed her a big smile. You know they were both by the same age. And paying attention about what everyone said about this Mystique woman, Cassia figured out that she was a complicated villain. Having joined the good and the bad side at different times. Though that made her cooler.

Then Ideas about skit and the prefect suggested that she turns blue. Cassia found that very interesting. She nodded with others welcoming this idea. And the song idea suggested by Ella was cool too. "I agree with you all." She finally spoke. "Like Eliza said ,Kurumi could turn blue while we each say a fact about this woman and we'd try make it as a song." Because a song would be nice. And she didn't add anything new. Just emphasized.

Cassia reached for a parchment and tapped her quill thinking what could they possibly say that would rhyme. She peered at Eliza's notes hoping that the girl wouldn't mind Cassia copying few from her. And the second-year scribbled down a few sentences.


She glanced down at them. They didn't really rhyme but the endings kinda resembled each other. The best a twelve-years old could come up with. She turned her gaze to the others and spoke. "I say we come up with about six rhyming sentences so each one would say one." Did they agree. Or did they think it was stupid. Cassia would gladly accept criticizing. "Or if anyone has a better idea...." Possibly someone who could come up with better rhyming lines.

The whole mutant thing had been a put off and something that reminded her of magic and just now 'unnatural' her children were...so Kurumi hadn't been exposed to it. Ironic...considering she was raised nonmagical and might as well have been Muggleborn despite being half-blood.

Again, Kurumi just nodded at her role. It was sort of the obvious choice since she could actually change her appearance...

So there was another person for her using her metamorphagus abilities. Blushing a bit more, Kurumi nodded and then tried to mentally prepare herself for the task coming up. She still really didn't have her abilities in check. Not even close really and they still sort of controlled her to a certain extent. She should probably practice first. Find her zone and figure out how she could change her appearance.

But then she froze when Ella mentioned a song. Song, as in singing? "Do...do we have time to make up a song?" Kurumi really didn't want to sing in front of all these people. It had been awkward enough in Herbology when they had had to sing to plants.

THIS...she could work with. "I think I can control my abilities enough to manage hair and maybe even eye color," she said with a small nod. Yeah, she really ought to start practicing this a little bit. Glancing over at Ella, Kurumi focused on the Hufflepuff's hair and narrowed her eyes.

And it seemed that Emmanuelle agreed with the demonstration and one or two lines of speech per person. Good. Now, back to staring at Ella's hair. Kurumi focused her attention entirely on her hair and, after a few moments of staring, Kurumi's hair turned the same shade of blonde and her eyes were the same sort of blue. Now she was...Kurella? Elmi?

"You guys might want to talk while I try to change my hair and eyes," Kurumi said as she pulled some of her hair in front of her face to examine. "I need a few moments of concentration to make things work."


Turn blue? Like...ALL of her skin blue? Kurumi bit her lip and tugge on the sleeves of her robes for a moment. People had high expectations for her and her abilities it seemed. "Um...I honestly don't know if I can do that...all my body blue I mean," Kurumi said rather sheepishly while her attention turned to Vickers. His hair was the most different from Ella's - short and brown - so she ought to try to look like him. Eyes would just turn a more piercing blue color. "I really am not THAT in control of it all yet...sorry."

Staring at Vickers a little more intently with her now unusual blue eyes, Kurumi's blonde hair began to sort of suck back into her head and turn brown at the same time until it was identical to Vickers'. Yep, okay. She could do this.

"Um, I think I remember reading somewhere that she is one of the oldest mutants in the comic book...or maybe even the oldest?"
