As you crest the staircase coming up from the sixth floor, you'll notice a statue to your right. Lachlan the Lanky is a great landmark for a meeting place.

SPOILER!!: Mr. Speedy Song-writer

Kurumi smiled as she listened to him play, but couldn't help but feel like she had hardly contributed to the song. Perhaps a word or two here and there, but Connor had done the rest. Almost like he had already had the song written in his mind.

"It sounds...nice...." she nodded blushing a bit. "Seems like...it is already finished..."

"It needs some tweaking, but it's almost finished. I know you probably feel like you've barely contributed, but you did the hard part Kurumi, you provided the music and that is way more important than the lyrics. I do need your help with the title though. I'm having a tough time with it. I want to call it something like No Excuses, but that's not right. I've been thinking about it since you first played it for me but I can't get the title right." He sighed. biting his lip he waited for her to speak.

Kurumi's eyes widened when Connor spoke. How did he...Kurumi's cheeks flushed and she pulled her legs in close to her chest. Sometimes, it frightened her how well he was able to read her. Then again, she was one of the more easily readable people out of everyone at Hogwarts. She literally wore her emotions on her sleeve, or her hair as he case may be. Still...there was...something...

Kurumi felt her heart skip a beat and she hugged her legs closer to her chest.

Shaking herself back into the moment. "Hmmm, the word excuses isn't ever used on the song," she said leaning over to look at the lyrics in Connor's hands. "Isn't the obvious title...No Boundaries?" She took the moment to look up at Connor and she felt her cheeks blush just a bit. "One of the things that people think throughout their lives is how do we keep boundaries? What and when do we have permission to cross those boundaries? How do we cross them..." She trailed off on that last thought. No boundaries...it sounded so hypocritical. That was all she had ever done with Connor. Build boundaries.

Kurumi frowned.

Kurumi frowned.

Connor thought about it. No boundaries. Oh how he wished that were so. He wished he could push aside the boundaries placed before him and pull her into his arms and show her how he still felt toward her, but he couldn't. She'd made it clear that she didn't care for him the way he did her. He reached over and scratched on the lyrics sheet some more, After a little while, the song was finished. He bit his lip and looked at it. He felt his heart breaking as the words he wanted her to understand leapt out at him. He couldn't trust his brain at the moment so he just began to play and Sing to her.

Kurumi waited as Connor did whatever it was he did with music. She suddenly felt, awkward and unsure of herself. There had been a lot of emotions and foreign concepts swimming around in that little third year brain of hers and the world was seeming like such a bigger place with every passing moment. When it seemed like he was finished with his edits, Kurumi leaned against the wall and allowed his voice to fill the corridors and her being for the moment.

Something...in there...in his voice and the way he sang tugged on Kurumi's heart strings and she had to close her eyes for a moment and bit her lower lip. Before she even realized that she was doing it, tears were slowly trickling their way down her face.

When he had finished, Kurumi couldn't find any words to say and instead simply reached out and placed her hand on his.

Connor reached over and placed his hand over hers. There were tears slowly trickling down his cheeks too. He reached into his pocket and wiped his eyes. Hadn't she been upset with him every time he'd tried to express this particular feeling to her. He still felt that feeling, but he knew better than to discuss that with her. Every time he had he'd heard about it in some way or another. Why should this time be any different?

He reached over and wiped away her tears as he knelt before her. He was afraid to cross the boundary again. There were only so many times you could walk into a fire and get burned before you stopped walking in. He bit his lower lip in an effort to hold himself back. "Kurumi" He whispered, his voice breaking.

Kurumi...hadn't been expecting Connor to start to cry and her stomach tied in knots. Had she done something wrong? Perhaps it had been a bad idea for her to put her hand on his? Kurumi began to slowly retract her hand, but was stopped when he put his on hers and her cheeks flushed.

"Y-Y-Yes?" she whispered back looking up at him for a moment and suddenly feeling the walls around them closing in. She didn't like the slight break in his voice. Something was bothering him...

He took a deep breath before he spoke. He was well aware of the fact that what he was going to ask was probably not what she was expecting him to, and that was a good thing. He'd learned his lesson where that particular subject pertained to. He bit his lip because it was really hard for him to even talk about this. It was painful but it had to be done.

He looked into her eyes. "Could you find time to meet me in the library in the next day or so? I-I want to find out what I can about my Dad and maybe see if I can find a picture of him that I could copy." He looked down at their hands, silent tears welled up again. He needed his dad right now and he'd take him in whatever form he could get him in. At this point he even wished for Duncan's ghost.

Kurumi felt as though she were sitting on pins and needles waiting for Connor to speak again. Whatever was going through his mind at this very moment was something very deep and Kurumi could tell from the look in his eyes that it wasn't something that she would be expecting. She gave his hand another gentle squeeze to signal that whatever he had to say it was alright to do so.

When he spoke, Kurumi almost giggled. ALMOST. But she was able to contain her pleasant surprise. "Of course I can," she nodded.

Connor hugged her close and hugged her tight for a moment, His face buried in her neck. It was the hug of a friend in need of another friend. He held on for a moment before sitting back. "Thank you Kurumi." He whispered softly before getting up and holding out his hand to her to help her up. "I appreciate this so much."

Connor's hug took her off guard and she squeaked when his arms wrapped around her. There was an earnesty there that she hadn't felt before and she wasn't sure what to think about it. It wasn't frightening, well, until his face buried itself in her neck. Kurumi's body tensed a bit, but nothing that would be noticeable. "N-N-No problem," she mumbled nodding her head.

She shifted a bit as Connor stood up and looked at his outstretched hand and paused for a moment before slowing taking his hand and following him out of the corridor with their next destination being the library.
