Selina was ready to spit fire at Kurumi for merely standing in her presence. She was afraid that she might catch freak if she was in the general area as her for any longer, but then she crossed the line. She brought up Simon and called her Raggedy Ann! No one called Selina that except Gideon! Who did she think she was? She was bringing knives into a gun fight and Selina was furious.

"Well at least I wasn't left alone by some boy who told me that he loved me. Oh wait, and then less than two months later sent his new GIRLFRIEND to his old school to learn magic. Or did we forget Ce-Ce and how quickly the love of your life forgot about you!" She was furious. Bringing up Simon was not something Selina took lightly. She had such a huge crush on him, but she NEVER asked him for anything in return.

Then she felt a pillow collide with her face, "Trying to break my nose again, Hollingberry?" She hissed every word. Then she smacked Kurumi back with the pillow with just as much force.

Kurumi was hissing now and it was a wonder she wasn't on all fours ready to pounce on the third year. "Love of my life? Don't flatter yourself, or him for that matter," she laughed hysterically, throwing her head back and bellowing several loud HU-HU-HU-HUs as she did. "Even if he was, at least I had the chance in stead of letting it just slip through my fingers like wasted gillyweed!" She swung the pillow around again. "I hope you're happy! I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY HOW YOU'VE HURT YOUR CAUSE FOREVER! I HOPE YOU THINK YOU'RE CLEVEEEEEEEEEER!"

Kurumi swung her pillow around again, this time actually hissing as she did. The skin around her hands was now almost the same red color as a tomato and she was beginning to get it around her lips as well.

And then Selina brought up the broken nose bit. "Trying to turn this into a pity party for one? You are NOT little orphan Annie you know."

Selina let out a wicked cackle of laughter, "Feel better? You bubbly, spineless little excuse for a human being. You know that you only ever do anything if it follows the rules. It must be so easy to live your life without ever having to think for yourself. You know, I HOPE YOUR PROUD HOW YOU WOULD GROVEL IN SUBMISSION TO FEED YOUR OWN AMBITION!"

Selina took the heat like a man when Kurumi sent the pillow pounding for her face. But once it had all been shock absorbed Selina flung the pillow to the other side of the room and launched for Kurumi's body. Once she had Kurumi bounding for the floor Selina howled, "Little orphan Annie? I thought that was you, didn't your mother say she didn't want you anyway?"

Kurumi gasped and her jaw hung wide open. Excuse for a human being?! "I thought being a SEER meant that you could SEE things. Not be ignorant!" Kurumi said, now flailing her arms around like a pinwheel and running towards Selina.

"And I do NOT grovel...I BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

Kurumi responded with Selina's attack with one of her own and locked arms with the girl, causing them both to fall towards the floor and go rolling around like two squealing pigs in the mud. For a brief moment, Selina had Kurumi pinned to the ground and her violet eyes widened for a moment before turning blood red with rage. "You're words are POISON!" she shrieked reaching for Selina's hair to yank on it. Yeah, this girl should have been a snake.

Kurumi pushed Selina off her, pulling out a few strands of hair in the process. Great, now she really WAS going to get GINGERVITIS! She had her DNA all over her in the form of hair.

She stumbled backwards for a few steps and accidentally whacked her head on the frame of her bed. Ouch.

It was then that Kurumi noticed her skin tone...it was...red...

o_____________________________O

She suddenly began to feel sick and her skin began to itch more. She looked up at Selina and for a brief moment her own face returned to the usual meek girl she was. "S-S-S-Selina?" she squeaked.

She felt like she was going to be sick.

Selina was fuming now. How dare she bring up her Seer abililty. It was none of Kurumi's business- her ability. And she would rather see the future than be a morphing freak who changes the way she looks for attention! "Rather that than be a grey haired little pathetic worm who uses her ability to get pity from her friends!"

Her words were poison? Please that's rich, "Your self-depricating little ego about how perfect you are is poison! You're as cold and frail as the rules you so desperately crave."

The two began to wrestle and squirm all over the floor of the Gryffindor Common Room. Selina was in a rage. The little weak, timid thing was easily weaker than Selina. Then, just for a moment, Kurumi had the upper hand, but she quickly took it away. In the moment of struggle Selina slipped as did Kurumi and it sent the girl into the bed. THWACK!

That was when she got a good look at Kurumi... she was red. Her blue eyes that were roaring like the ocean calmed slightly at the way Kurumi spoke to her. It was oddly familiar and warm. Selina shook her head a little and said meakly, "Kurumi? Are you alright?"

Grey? GREY!? "You really are a TERRIBLE Seer if you think my hair is grey when it is CLEARLY black," Kurumi said in a huff. "Better to have this hair than hair that could confuse me for a clown."

Yeah, what now little miss blind Seer. It wasn't even worth Kurumi's time to argue about who used their ability more for pity. Heck, did either of them ever outright talk about it in front of others? Didn't they only talk about it in depth with each other?

"You are the only person I ever talk to about it and you said the same to me...unless you are a LIAR as well." A Seeing liar...that was just as bad as a doctor with a poor bedside manner.

That was something she hated about the girl in front of her. Always so honest. Always so trustworthy. It was ridiculous!

Wait...that made no sense...

Kurumi blinked in her own confusion and began scratching her arms furiously as the itching became too much. Her skin was tomato red now and there were some gross looking purple spots showing up.

"S-S-Selina..." Kurumi whimpered again. "I-I think I'm alright....but...I don't think you brewed your potion right..."

Ronnie walked into the girls dormitories, and up to her bed. She sat down on it, wondering if she had any sweets. She looked through her stuff, and luckily she had some every flavor beans! "Anyone wanna eat some with me?" she called out, holding the box in the air. "If you dare..?" she said in a spooky voice.

Selina rolled her eyes at Hollingberry's awareness of the obvious. She could see that her hair was actually black, but Selina was bringing up the time in her life when Kurumi had grey hair after the whole Treyen incident. It was pathetic and, in a weird, way heart breaking. How could he do that to her? She was brilliant and nice and loyal to no end.

...Wait, where had that come from? She hated Kurumi. Always so understanding and patient and supportive. Again??? Really, why was she even thinking these things? She hated her.

"What in Merlin's name does my Seer ability have to do with my actual ocular eyesight? Nothing you ninny! I was bringing up the whole Treyen incident!"

LIAR? How dare she! Selina could not lie. It was physically impossible, she stuttered and made up the worst excuses. Everyone in the Gryffindor house, if not the entire school knew how hopeless she was at lying. She just could not do it, "I. Am. Not. A. Liar!" Selina growled.

Then her head started to feel faint. And the sight of Kurumi as a red little tomato was starting to sober her out of her potion use. She shook her head trying to rid herself of all of her poisonous thoughts and she weakly replied, "Y-your red. We, um, need to get you to the hospital."

Kurumi sat on her bed, slightly curled up into a ball with her legs hugged tightly to her chest. It probably made her look more like a tomato. She looked at Selina, saw her lips moving, but nothing she was saying was really registering and sounded more like a miniature troll speaking. Which was probably for the best since the effects of the potion were wearing off on her and Selina was still throwing out random insults.

"You really are rubbish at potions, you know," Kurumi laughed softly, her usual tone returning and the redness in her eyes fading back to violet.

Tiffany was totally freaked out by the arguments between the two girls who were obviously not first year student like her when she entered the room. Actually she was hoping to get someone to play with, but obviously she couldn't achieve her purpose. She was quite disappointed.
It seemed that the two of them would not have some free time to play with a silly first year girl so she tiptoed to the door, whispering,"That's nothing to argue at all. We are all friends, aren't we?"

Lilly hid under her covers. She felt sick. Rose bossing her about and screaming at her. Violet not being there to comfort her and play pranks. Lilly bet Violet had millions of proper friends by now. They'd never been split up before. She sobbed silently under the covers.

As Ronnie ate the every flavor beans by herself, she noticed Lilly under her covers and.....sobbing. Ronnie raised her eyebrows and walked up to her. She pulled down the covers and draped an arm around her. "What's wrong, Lilly?" he asked, taking another bean out of the box. She tried not to wrinkle her nose. Bleh. Ear wax.

Selina saw that Hollingberry.... Kurumi was obviously turning a horrid red. She was now starting to remember that she and Kurumi were best friends, but there was still a hint of hatred in her. However, with the red face and the sick complexion she remembered that she should try and refrain from saying the things that were on her mind.

"Yeah well at least I can, um- I mean, do you need to go to the hospital, metamor... Kurumi?"

Lilly giggled at the flavour. "Again, it's Violet," she sniffed at Ronnie's kindness. It made Lilly want to burst into tears again.

Kurumi no longer felt any hatred towards the girl in front of her. Instead, she had the overwhelming feeling of wanting to throw up and a stench like that of a piece of trout that had turned slimy and green from rot suffocated her. Merlin, this girl should go back to clown school where she belong since she clearly was a failure at being a witch.

Okay, so maybe there was still a SMALL bit of hate left in her. After all, Selina had managed to at least brew it partially well.

"Well, Rag--Selina...I think I need to go to the bathroom before I---," she covered her mouth and made an uncomfortable sound. No need to finish her thought. Selina could probably guess what the fourth year was on the brink of.

Selina looked at Hollingberry and squeezed her nose into a slight crinkle. The more the two of them waited the redder Kurumi was becoming and she did not think it had anything to do with the girl's unnatural hugh of skin or her ability to manipulate her freakish form into whatever she choose. Nice she repeated in her head be nice. For some reason, every fiber of her being was screaming at her to play nice with Kurumi. It did not take a genius to tell that she and Kurumi were good friends... so maybe she should be nicer.

"Yeah, I guess Hollingb- Kurumi we should take you to the...." Oh no, she was going to... oh Merlin, "Fire in the hole!"

Lilly looked up. Oh. Ronnie had left. She didn't care. Ronnie was Rose's friend, and if that was so, Ronnie was aas stupid as Rose. Oh. Lilly didn't have any other friends. She pulled the covers back over her head and sobbed again.

Tayla walked into the girls' dormitories, set aside her Charms homework, and lay in bed. It seemed like there was a misunderstanding going on, but she was too tired to notice who they were. "What's go-going...yawn...on?" she managed to say. "Kurumi...?" she thought briefly, then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Tiffany walked into her room. She was totally exhausted however she still have to write a poem before she went to bed. She couldn't think of anything that she could write as her topic. She sat on a chair and started to think. Suddenly, she think of the spell which she had learnt in the Ancient Runes lesson, the spell that was good at helping with the poetry. She quickly opened her book and looked for that spell. Then she pointed at her quill.

"ansuz ansuz ansuz
aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw
aw aw aw aw aw aw s s s s s s
aw aw aw aw aw aw
aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw"

Of a sudden, her quill sparkled. She used it to write on the paper and it worked. Ideas came out quickly from Tiffany's mind."It was amazing!"she thought to herself,smiling.

Pixxi walked into the girls' dormitory with her kitten Bells curled up in her arms. She scanned the room for some familiar faces, but decided that it was about high time to meet some new Gryffindors, so she instantly stopped. Instead, she put Bells on one of the beds and she started playing with a lose thread by the end of the duvet. Pixxi hadn't even turned her heal before she heard a weird noice from the bed, and thought that Bells had started choking on something. Again. The tiny ginger kitten was still playing with the thread, so it wasn't that. Suddenly, she realized that there was someone in the bed. Pixxi hurriedly snapped Bells up in her arms again, and the kitten glared at her owner, giving her a look as if to say how she dared to take her away from her new playing/snuggly duvet.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Pixxi said to the lump that laid underneath the covers. "I-I didn't notice that anyone was in this bed." She smiled friendly to the lump on the bed and then she heard the noise again. Like the person underneath it was crying or couldn't breath. She quickly went over to stand beside where she assumed the girl's head was, and Pixxi poked her gently "Are... Are you okay? Do you want me to get you some help?"

Lilly peered out. "No thanks. I don't need help. It's not really what's wrong," she answered. Her eyes were red. Lilly rubbed them, but it got worse. "I'm fine. Honestly."

Rose snuck into the girls dorm sneakily, without anyone seeing her. Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum. She hummed the Mission Impossible theme tune. She snuck to her sister, Lilly's bed, and placed a slug on it. This'd show Lilly that she was a prankster. More so than her and Violet. And she really was. She hadn't nearly been placed in Slytherin for nothing... She smiled at the thought. Slytherin. She had wanted to be in Slytherin. But she wasn't. Gryffindor was good as well though. Yup.

Lilly sat up. She screamed loudly. Ahhh, Rose, Rose, Rose. Revenge will come soon. She picked up the poor fat slug and chucked him out the window, violently. Now, revenge on Rose. Not now, she was too tired. But wait till tommorow.

Rose laughed as she heard Lilly scream and ran out of the room. Lilly'd have no chance of getting revenge. You can't prank a prankster...

"Oh, uhm... Let me know if you need anything then..." What a stupid thing to say! She obviously needed a friend. "Uhm, I mean, is there anything I can do?" Bells was trying to claw the skin off of Pixxi, so she softly threw the kitty down on the floor with a small 'thump'. The kitten stared at her indignantly and turned around and marched as far away from her owner as she could possible get, and found a new toy to play with. Pixxi gave her a resigned look and but she shook her head. Silly kitty. She turned around to the crying girl again and smiled friendly towards her.
