Eat, drink, and be merry, O Lions. Classes begin again tomorrow.
The glittering night sky is clear and visible through the enchanted ceiling, and the floating candles bedeck the entire hall in a warm golden light. All seems well with the world, aside from the empty plates still waiting for food to appear.
And what's this? The silverware is tarnished and askew, almost as if thrust on the table willy-nilly. Take a seat and search for a clean spoon while the Sorting Hat ceremony commences. The House Elves have done their clean up work quickly and effectively, and the silverware and dishes are now set to right.
Kurumi giggled and tried not to blush too much. Her only saving grace at the moment was that Cookie Hater wasn't around to scowl or glare at her. Hopefully, the now Head Girl had gotten that out of her system on the train. If not...well...then this was going to be a reeeeeeeeeeeally awkward term. Especially when one considered that it was obvious that Walnut was in kitty love with the girl.
"Well, you have been known to land yourself in detention," she teased, sticking her tongue out slightly. Not that Kurumi would really be able to do that to Josh. She was pretty sure she didn't have that in her. "Oh, I nearly forgot...father says thank you for the letter...but....why did you even write my father in the first place?"
Over the course of everything that had happened last term, Kurumi had forgotten that she had asked her father to send bath supplies. Then again, she had no idea just how MUCH the man had sent.
"Glad to hear that," Kurumi smiled. She saw that Ronnie was focused on the Sorting taking place, so she ought to not bother the girl for now. It was always something fun to watch. "Enjoy the feast."
Kurumi offered the girl one last smile before continuing her way down the table.
"Nice to meet you Charles," she replied with a bow of the head. "You're welcome. Baking has always been a hobby of mine, so it makes me happy to see others enjoying them." Her smile brightened just a bit more. "My name is Kurumi and I hope you enjoy the feast. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I am sure more first years will be joining us at the table. Many have already." She gestured down the table a bit.
Kurumi's smile faded. Yep, still the queen of terrible first impressions. His laughter went unnoticed by her as she looked down at her black school shoes. "S-S-S-Sorry," she stammered, flailing her arms around just a bit. When he had explained himself, Kurumi felt even worse. Of course that is what it had meant. Why would someone be given a nickname based on Audio and Visual? "Oh, um, right..."
Akward.
"Oh, well welcome to Hogwarts as well," she smiled, momentarily forgetting the awkward conversation from moments earlier. It was now that she noticed just how disgusting the dishes were. "You...don't suppose Scourgify would fix this, do you?" she asked picking up a dirty fork and turning it over in her hands.
"I would be a hypocrite if I did," she said, obviously relating to their abilities. Having been called one all her life, how could she possibly do the same to her best friend? That idea seemed utterly ridiculous. "And of course," she giggled, taking her wand out of her pocket. "And I'll make sure that no one else can hear." The spellwork was simple enough.
Kurumi nodded. Yep, he had it right and had even bowed back a little. Kurumi blushed just a bit and tried not to let her giggle become audible. "It's nice to meet you Paulie." For some reason, his name reminded her with that of a bird, but that would cause yet another silly first impression that she really didn't need nor want.
LEXI! Merlin had Kurumi missed her. She had enjoyed taking care of Rufus over the summer, and didn't really want to part with him, but, he was Lexi's monkey and not hers. She hadn't had time to give the now seventh year the gift she had bought in New York for her, but the look on her face right now signaled that the lioness might not be too excited about it anyway.
Still, Kurumi wasn't sure when she would get the next change to do so. No time like the present, right?
"Lexi!" she chirped as she walked up behind the blonde and tapped her shoulder. "I...I never got the chance to give this to you back when I gave Rufus back."
"Valerie," Kurumi repeated, taking extra time to make sure that she said the V properly. "Nice to meet you."
Kurumi blushed a bit as she watched the girl much on her cookie. Perhaps the most satisfying part of it all was having others enjoy. Eating cookies alone was always kind of sad.
"I did," she nodded. "Baking has always been a hobby of mine."
Instead of shaking his hand, the girl had given him a slight bow. He was taken aback at first, but when she was finished talking he was suddenly cheerful. Kurumi it turned out was a really nice and friendly girl. "I'll be sure to ask if I have any questions, and thanks again for the cookie, its delicious!" He had to struggle to finish what he said without blushing. Kurumi was one of the first girls he had actually talked to. If he had known they were all this nice he wouldn't have been shy all those years he went to muggle school.
Christopher cocked an eyebrow at Selina's response about the train. He may not have been a mind reader, but something was definitely up. She wouldn't meet his eyes, and the half-smile she'd attempted was the most pathetic he'd ever seen from Selina. She was looking rather distraught, and she was silent. Selina Skylar was not one to often stay silent. After his analysis and conclusion, he shifted in his seat to get a better angle toward her and asked gently, "You all right?" He wasn't going to force any issue upon her, but if she wanted to talk about it, or even just needed a little comforting, he'd be there for her in a second without hesitation. He hoped she knew that.
And if course. Quidditch. Leave to Selina to be most worried about Quidditch. With a joking eye roll, he said, "Selina, do you ever not think about Quidditch?" He hesitated, then added reassuringly, "But seriously, don't worry about it. You both are great. I know you'll make the team without a doubt."
"I'm fine," Selina feigned a laugh for Christopher's sake. The last thing she needed at present was a worried Christopher breathing down her back. She was fine not having anyone know about Danny and now that Kurumi knew it was not like she needed anyone else to think lesser of her. Selina tried desperately everyday to pretend that what happened that day did not actually transpire, but she knew better.
QUIDDITCH! When he said she would make the team for sure she smacked him hard in the shoulder, "Don't. Ever. Say. That. Now knock on wood. By saying that you could have just ruined my chances at making the team. You can't ever tempt fate!"
"I was checking to see if you had a vacant look to your eyes, kid. Are you crazy. Like in the clinical sense? There is only room for one crazy person in my life... and that's me." Just you know... FYI.
"You keep on about the utensils... you got a fork THING or something? That's right odd." FYI again. By this time Lexi had gone back into her own personal space. There, odd child, no more Lexi in your face.
"And I asked you your name, child. What is it?"
"Perfectly sane, thank you." With a tilt of her chin up, Charner picked up the spoon and nearby cloth napkin. "And its not odd to make an observation about cause, consequence and coincidence. It's called being observant. Which if you were, you wouldn't have to ask all these time consuming questions."
And then, she set to polishing that poor neglected spoon. No, she wasn't obsessive, just a perfectionist. "And maybe if you would stop calling me a child, I would respond less like one and actually give you an answer."

Turning to see exactly who she thought was making that racket she smiled briefly and then her eyes fell on the badge on the girl's robes. Her nose immediately wrinkled in disdain. Greaaaaat she was going to have to watch her step with EVERYONE she was close to apparently. What a DISASTER this was. HMPHS FOR LIFE.
Lexi took the parcel and said, "Thanks, Kurumi. How was the rest of your holiday?" Lexi couldn't lie... she did not care much if she was honest with herself. She was being selfish and obnoxious and loving every moment of it.
Opening the package she... looked at the shirt for a moment before furrowing her brow and holding it up to inspect. "What's... a barbie?" What RUBBISH is this is what she THOUGHT. Yeah.
But there were more interesting things than her name. Like the girl with the badge and parcel. Sure, Charner didn't know Lexi, but that didn't mean personal space when it came to surprises was a big factor of consideration. An eye for an eye maybe?
Leaning over a little while retaining her furiosity in polishing the spoon, Charner peered at the parcel. She was about to ask what a Rufus was when Lexi beat her to a much better punch line. And then it was all very loud giggle-snorts. "It's very fitting to you."

It would have killed Selina to lose Kurumi even though she knew that she didn't deserve a friend like her after what she had done.
Kurumi further showed that she was okay with Selina by simply touching her left shoulder. In the small touch Selina knew that Kurumi was not afraid of her.
Suddenly her eyes shot open with fear. Kurumi had mistakenly touched her left shoulder where the tattoo she had received last year via a vision had been imprinted in her skin. The tattoo was simple. Since she had been stuck in a vision the tattoo gave her the ability to go in and out of visions at will. Although Selina was not exactly sure how it worked still she was starting to have an easier time with her visions. But now that Kurumi had touched it she could feel herself slipping under and into the future. Her head was pounding, her heart was racing and she could feel that this vision was going to change a lot of things in the upcoming year.
The dream like world started to form in front of Selina's eyes and everything she saw had a strange yellow-tinted hue to its coloration. As the shapes stared to form coherent objects the room began to make sense. The Great Hall of the present was washed away with the spitting image of the Great Hall of the future. In all honesty, the two pictures looked almost identical, even some of the students were sitting in the same place that they had been sitting in the present.
Suddenly a figure emerged at the front of the Great Hall. He was standing there watching the room with a general excitement that was reminicent of a child out front of a candy store. His eyes scanned the room for familiar faces until he found a pair of faces that he had been looking for. With a sense of excitement renewed in the figure he started to walk down the pathway in the Great Hall between the Gryffindor table and the Ravenclaw table toward the two other figures.
Then in a flash the face of the figure became completely clear. It was so shocking that Selina was thrown from her vision into the present.
Her worried eyes met Kurumi's and she could not even speak. Then her blue eyes flitted toward the entrance of the Great Hall where the doorway was empty. Maybe her vision was wrong, until suddenly the figure stood in the doorway and her vision started to come true.
"Oh no," was all she could utter.
He slowly made his way through the tables in the Great Hall.Everything was so different now that he had been gone for a year or so now.It felt weird but right being at the place were he belonged.
A sort of tug of war feeling.Mexico City had been great,the experience had changed him,but nothing about Hogwarts could change who he was.It was his home.Where everything happened.The place were people understood him,didn't understand him,got him annoyed,made him feel better all the same.It wasn't something his parents could give him.Not even in a completely forgien country.He wanted to be there,to stay working in the studio set with all his friends where he became a proficient spanglish speaker.
But his heart flew him towards Hogwarts.
After thinking all of this to himself he looked over the hundred of heads eating in the Great Hall.The beginning feast.The best moments of all their lives.
Finally,he saw them.A girl with bright fiery hair,an just a little way's off... Her.
With a beating heart,move fear,excitment,anxiety,he stopped right behind them,then said very slowly, "Hey guys."
"Perfectly sane, thank you." With a tilt of her chin up, Charner picked up the spoon and nearby cloth napkin. "And its not odd to make an observation about cause, consequence and coincidence. It's called being observant. Which if you were, you wouldn't have to ask all these time consuming questions."

WHAT WAS THIS THING'S PROBLEM??
Lexi gave her a haughty nose turny uppy thingy and snorted derisively. Silly CHILD. "One could argue that sanity is in the eye of the beholder." Indeed. "You don't know a thing about me, person whose name I do not know. I am observant, but I choose to ask questions all the same." Thank you VERY much. "If I was not an adult and you an underage person I mightn't call you a child." Facts. There they were.
Lexi finally dropped her gaze to the table and BARELY held back the gasp. She was NORMALLY observant, but she had not been paying any mind to the UTENSILS on the table. What the... Lex once again wrinkled her nose and carefully nudged a fork AWAY.
... and now Lexi was even more confused.
Looking at the girl whose name she did not know she gave a questioning look. "I... seriously haven't a clue what a Barbie is... I was raised in the Wizarding World." Clearly.
Jai joined the Gryffindor table. He was happy to be back at Hogwarts. He moved along the table to find a seat. It was nice to see the first years being sorted into their houses especially the new lions and lionesses.
He looked around for his friends, like Carter who was the new Quidditch captain and Josh. Jai glanced at the Hufflepuff table for Cassie, one of his best friends. Then without even thinking he looked over to the Slytherine table for Caroline. After his quick survey, he spotted Kurumi and went over to talk to her.
Approaching where she was, he said,"Hey Kurumi. What's up?"
Lexi gave her a haughty nose turny uppy thingy and snorted derisively. Silly CHILD. "One could argue that sanity is in the eye of the beholder." Indeed. "You don't know a thing about me, person whose name I do not know. I am observant, but I choose to ask questions all the same." Thank you VERY much.

Another giggle-snort left Charner. "Adult? Where?" Her head did an exaggerated bob about as she glanced around their table. "All I see are still students yet to be graduated. Aka. Children." Or so her parents said, and for once she was more inclined to believe her parents than this strange ... person.
And then she just blinked at the Lexi-child. Why was she looking so strangely at the spoons? Hadn't she just said she was observant? And Charner was being called strange? Huh.
"......It's a doll. Big head, long legs who if was real would snap her ankles in two because they are toothpick thin and couldn't support her weight at all." Alright, so admittedly that didn't really describe the girl in front of her. A quick glance down at her ankles attested to that. "...She smiles a lot." Yes, there. A quip to cover up a slip.

"Riiiight. Once one comes of age, which is 17, which I AM, one is considered an adult in the Wizarding World, little missy." THANK YOU VERY MUCH. She didn't know what the heck was WRONG with this little person, but she needed to mind her tongue unless she wanted Lexi to hex it right out of her mouth.
That was IT. Lexi narrowed her eyes at the small person in front of her and sneered slightly. "What IS your problem... person?" It was highly annoying to Lexi that she didn't know this person's name. HMPH.
"Did you just tell me I have a fat head and skinny ankles? Well... has anyone ever told you perhaps you should brush that disgusting mane of hair? Hmmmm? Or perhaps you should just give up altogether? You are CLEARLY a hopeless case." HOPELESS.

"My problem? You made the spoons sad. They are misaligned and unpolished and it's a right mess to present dinner like this to anyone." The words came out in a heavy huff.
"And as for your fat head, that is only metaphorically speaking and I'm sure with the weight you seem to be carrying on your shoulders you could also have metaphorically thin ankles that are liable to break if you keep carrying about that scowl so heavily." Charner gave the spoon an extra scrub. She didn't care about her hair. She wouldn't, or would make the extreme effort not to just to prove this girl, this self-proclaimed adult, wasn't getting on her nerves. "That is what I told you."

"Oh dear Merlin. I didn't make the spoons sad. I am sure the MINISTRY has something to do with it... or the house elves revolted and refuse to work. It has nothing to do with my less than stellar mood." HMPH. "And now you are huffing. Didn't you say something about Carbomb Monorixide or something? " Yeah. HA!
...
Well that was hardly called for. Lexi WAS carrying a lot of weight on her shoulders FYI. HMPH. Lexi was not going to DIGNIFY any of that with a response.

"Carb-ON. Mono-IXDE. You air-headed conspiratist." Really? She was going to blame the spoons on house elves and the Ministry?
....
"Hogwarts has house elves?"

"Well now you are just making words up I am sure. Or... are you talking Muggle?" Because as far as she was concerned it was a language in and of itself.
"And it's not necessarily a far cry if you had been here for any amount of time and seen the things I have in the past 6 years." THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Cue the LEXI NOSE TURN UP ONCE MORE.
"Really? You don't know about the elves? It's only how the entire school is maintained... Our food, our fires, our laundry." Didn't this kid know ANYTHING? Sheesh.

Kurumi hadn't realized that a simple touch would cause Selina to go into one of her states, but the prefect recognized it right off the bat. Before Selina had the chance to go limp, Kurumi positioned herself behind the girl so that she wouldn't fall off the bench she was sitting on.
It seemed to take hours for Selina to come to, but when she did, Kurumi didn't feel any better.
Oh no?
That did not sound like a good thing.
"Selina?" Kurumi asked, her violet eyes full of concern.
And then...the storm hit.
THAT voice. A voice she had spent all of last year trying to forget and had finally accomplished that in the months winding down to the end of the term. She didn't need to turn around. She knew exactly who it was standing right behind her. All those times crying alone in the broom cupboard, thinking that she wasn't even worth the trouble to write a letter to, trying to move one step forward but moving ten steps back. Did he have ANY idea what he had put her through? ANY?
And...all he had to say was, "Hey guys?"
Kurumi spun around and her eyes locked on his blue ones. For a moment, she felt like all she wanted to do was hug him. She had missed him more than she ever thought was possible.
But...her hair turning a deep crimson color on the spot signaled the emotion that was taking over.
She walked right up to him, eyes still locked on his. Smiled sweetly for a moment before...
*SMAAAAAAAAAAAAACK*
Her right hand promptly made contact with his cheek, hot tears streaming down her face.
"BAKA!"
*baka means idiot in Japanese
SPOILER!!: Lexi & the noob

Leaning over a little while retaining her furiosity in polishing the spoon, Charner peered at the parcel. She was about to ask what a Rufus was when Lexi beat her to a much better punch line. And then it was all very loud giggle-snorts. "It's very fitting to you."
"Summer was...interesting..." she said slowly, remembering the events that had lead up to her return to Diagon Alley. "How is Rufus doing? My brothers miss him already." Kurumi hadn't been surprised that they had taken to the monkey. They were practically wild animals themselves.
And then came the question. "I...am not sure really," she giggled with a slight shoulder shrug. "It was the color that attracted me, and then the clerk said that she was a fashion icon, so I thought it was fitting." And hopefully the t-shirt fit.
Kurumi's eyes shifted to the younger girl who seemed to know who or what Barbie was. "Do you know who this is?"

He had to struggle to finish what he said without blushing. Kurumi was one of the first girls he had actually talked to. If he had known they were all this nice he wouldn't have been shy all those years he went to muggle school.
"You're welcome," again. She had said you're welcome, right? Kurumi scanned the table, wrinkling her nose at the knives and forks. She had some gunk, not sure what it was really, stuck to her hand from the fork and spoon she had picked up earlier. "Well, enjoy the rest of the feast and I will see you in the common room."

Then without even thinking he looked over to the Slytherine table for Caroline. After his quick survey, he spotted Kurumi and went over to talk to her.
Approaching where she was, he said,"Hey Kurumi. What's up?"
Kurumi turned around when she heard a voice that she wasn't all too familiar with just yet say her name. "Jai, hello!" she chirped, bowing slightly to him. "Just greeting the new lions. There seem to be a lot more this term than others." She pointed up to the dancing cookies that were nearly smacking him in the forehead. Her being so sort certainly took everything else out of perspective. "You...might want to grab one of those before it hits you."

Jordan sat down at the end of the table, laughing at the dancing cookies being sent up and down the table. He noticed that the purple eyed girl whom he'd met on the train was the source of them, he sat down and looked around for some first years, wondering how his friends were getting on.
Taking her eyes off one of the cookies floating above her head for a moment, Kurumi spotted William approach the Gryffindor table. "Good evening, William," she smiled politely. "You ready to take on your second year?"
And then there was another Gryffindor at the table, one that she was sure she hadn't seen before. Hopefully, she wasn't making the same mistake she had twice already in assuming they were new and had actually been at Hogwarts all along. Wait, she WAS right this time since she had just seen the Sorting Hat on his head.
Smiling, Kurumi bowed to the boy as he took a seat.
"W-W-Welcome to Gryffindor," she smiled.
And another new lion, this one looked like a nervous first year, so Kurumi charmed one of the dancing cookies above the table to dance right in front of his face before going over to greet him herself. "Welcome to Gryffindor," she smiled with a bow. "My name is Kurumi, one of your prefects. If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask myself or Jai, the other Gryffindor prefect. I am sure he will be along soon."
" Glad to see you again and congrats on being prefect" Willaim told Kurumi. " I am ready for my second term and I plan on being the top student this term, not only on Gryffindor, but the whole school" William said proudly to Kurumi.

When she heard her name called she slowly approached the seat and shakingly sat down. The sorting hat was so big when it was placed on her head it slid down just barely above her eyes. The sorting hat had taken a moment then shouted "GRYFFINDOR!". With that said Lily marched down happily to the table reserved for Gryffindors.
" Welcome to Gryffindor" William smiled at the girl. "Are you excoted to be at HogWarts?' William asked her. " My name is William Starr, second year Gryffindor" he introduced himself to the girl.

She looked around at all of her fellow Gryffindors and hoped to make some new friends hopefully this year. She wondered who the new DADA teacher was...hopefully the new teacher was cool! DADA was her favorite subject!
" How is it going?" Willaim asked Ronnie." You need to sit up with yoru friends" Willaim said to Ronnie. " Unless I am not your freind" William teased Ronnie laughing hard.
"Well now you are just making words up I am sure. Or... are you talking Muggle?" Because as far as she was concerned it was a language in and of itself.
"And it's not necessarily a far cry if you had been here for any amount of time and seen the things I have in the past 6 years." THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Cue the LEXI NOSE TURN UP ONCE MORE.
"Really? You don't know about the elves? It's only how the entire school is maintained... Our food, our fires, our laundry." Didn't this kid know ANYTHING? Sheesh.
"I am talking science." Whether that was muggle or not, she wasn't sure. It had factored a lot into her own work, so for her it was like magic, so the relation wasn't clear.
What was clear was that someone was very touchy.
"Well apparently they aren't about anymore. I don't know any house elf that would let this place look like...this. Maybe they got fired!" How was that for conspiracy?

Kurumi's eyes shifted to the younger girl who seemed to know who or what Barbie was. "Do you know who this is?"
Charner's attention was pulled away by the girl who had given the t-shirt. The one that had just screamed really, really loudly and nearly knocked her hearing level down a few octaves. "Fashion icon. You got that part right." One finger went in her ear and she squiggled it about. "Plastic and miniature too though. Also a good subject for testing experiments and pranks upon." She would have said a helpful tool, but that would have been a compliment to Miss Touchy.

Kurumi hadn't realized that a simple touch would cause Selina to go into one of her states, but the prefect recognized it right off the bat. Before Selina had the chance to go limp, Kurumi positioned herself behind the girl so that she wouldn't fall off the bench she was sitting on.
It seemed to take hours for Selina to come to, but when she did, Kurumi didn't feel any better.
Oh no?
That did not sound like a good thing.
"Selina?" Kurumi asked, her violet eyes full of concern.
And then...the storm hit.
THAT voice. A voice she had spent all of last year trying to forget and had finally accomplished that in the months winding down to the end of the term. She didn't need to turn around. She knew exactly who it was standing right behind her. All those times crying alone in the broom cupboard, thinking that she wasn't even worth the trouble to write a letter to, trying to move one step forward but moving ten steps back. Did he have ANY idea what he had put her through? ANY?
And...all he had to say was, "Hey guys?"
Kurumi spun around and her eyes locked on his blue ones. For a moment, she felt like all she wanted to do was hug him. She had missed him more than she ever thought was possible.
But...her hair turning a deep crimson color on the spot signaled the emotion that was taking over.
She walked right up to him, eyes still locked on his. Smiled sweetly for a moment before...
*SMAAAAAAAAAAAAACK*
Her right hand promptly made contact with his cheek, hot tears streaming down her face.
Selina watched in horror as Adam Burn approached the two female Gryffindors. So much had changed in the previous year that even Selina's head started to hurt with all of the memories. He hadn't been there for everything that had transpired, for everything that had changed. He had simply gotten up and left even when Selina had offered her house to him, had called him her brother. The worst sting of all though was that everyone else had received letters from him via Ce-Ce and Selina had received much. What was he to her? Some stupid little girl who thought him a brother at eleven years old?
Well now she was a thirteen year old teenager who thought he was a jerk and only saw him in the light of someone who had revoked every promise he made to her. He promised to visit- he didn't. He promised to write her- he didn't. He promised that she would always be his sister- she wasn't anymore. In his absence another had taken his place, treated her like real family, did not fight with her to make her feel bad about herself.
A flame of anger was burning up inside the redhead as he finally reached them. When all he could muster was a two word retort Selina was ready to jump at his throat. Then Kurumi, bless her, beat Selina to it. For a moment she thought that the entire Great Hall had fallen silent at the sound of the slap, but this was not the case.
In all honesty Selina was afraid that Kurumi would kill him so she grabbed her taller friend from around the waist and pulled her away from him, "Kurumi! Calm down!" Then she set her down and marched back over to Adam whose face was likely red with the heat of Kurumi's slap.
Her blue eyes looked into his and her voice was coaxed with venom, "WHO do YOU think you are coming back here after all you put her through. I have half a mind to go and put my Beater Bat to good use. You have no idea what kind of wreckage you left behind Adam Burn!" Then for good measure she punched him square in the gut. That ought to bruise his stomach as well as his ego.
Kurumi turned around when she heard a voice that she wasn't all too familiar with just yet say her name. "Jai, hello!" she chirped, bowing slightly to him. "Just greeting the new lions. There seem to be a lot more this term than others." She pointed up to the dancing cookies that were nearly smacking him in the forehead. Her being so sort certainly took everything else out of perspective. "You...might want to grab one of those before it hits you."
Jai laughed as he looked up at the flying cookies. Reaching up he snatched one the was coming fast at his left eye. He nodded in agreement with Kurumi,"Yeah, there are alot of young cubs this year." He took a bite and said,"These are pretty good." before he popped the second bite into his mouth finishing the treat.
This year would prove to be busy and full as it was his final and he had new responsibilities."You have got to tell me your secret to these cookies." Jai said. He was always thinking about food whether it was there or not , near or far.
"Summer was...interesting..." she said slowly, remembering the events that had lead up to her return to Diagon Alley. "How is Rufus doing? My brothers miss him already." Kurumi hadn't been surprised that they had taken to the monkey. They were practically wild animals themselves.
And then came the question. "I...am not sure really," she giggled with a slight shoulder shrug. "It was the color that attracted me, and then the clerk said that she was a fashion icon, so I thought it was fitting." And hopefully the t-shirt fit.
Kurumi's eyes shifted to the younger girl who seemed to know who or what Barbie was. "Do you know who this is?"
... Lexi just looked on with little to no interest as Kurumi slapped some kid. Some kid that looked vaguely familiar. She was NOT getting involved in that mess. No way, no how. Nooooope. Little Cublet had a badge she could deal with it on her own now... or she would learn.
Interesting. Again, Lexi was being a selfish prat so she refrained from asking. "He's well. He has been having a blast lately." Yeeep. The monkey ALWAYS had a blast.
Okay... so Kurumi had bought her a shirt with a fashion icon on it... and had no idea who it was. "It's lovely. Thanks, Kurumi." She would wear it to sleep in most likely.

...science. "So you ARE talking Muggle at me. No speaky ze Muggle. Comprende?" Hehe. That made Lexi smirk a tad.
"Oh no, I doubt that. I dun think Tate would fire them... or if they can technically BE fired. Perhaps they rose up against the restraints of ELFISM and bolted out of the castle." It COULD happen. She was certain of it.
..."You rude little... thing! You called me plastic and MINIATURE? HOW RUDE!" RUUUUUUUUUDE SHE SAID!
After having sent her things up to the common room, and Walnut, Kurumi had stayed behind a bit to make sure first years knew where they were suppose to go before she took off towards the Great Hall.
Upon entering, Kurumi had felt her breath almost entirely leave her. For some reason, it seemed much bigger than she remembered it being. Still, it felt like being back home.
She hurried over to the Gryffindor table, taking time to direct a quick bow towards the staff table, and set a large tin on the front end of the table. Time to give her lions a proper greeting. She removed the lid and took her wand out. Her charm work hadn't been quite up to par last term, and some cookies had collided with one another as they pranced around the table, but she had tried to practice as much as she could during the year - which had caused for the girl's dormitory to be covered in cookie crumbs from time to time.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" she said with a swish and flick of her wand. Half of the cookies from the box levitated up in the air. The other half was asking too much of her forth year abilities. "Locomotor Gryffindor cookies!"
Violet eyes unblinking, Kurumi waved her wand around until the cookies had found a rhythm and were doing cartwheels in the air all around the Gryffindor table. Maybe next year she could get all the cookies at once. For now, she would take things in shifts.
SPOILER!!: feel free to grab one lions!
Still waving her wand around here and there, Kurumi waited for more lions to come to the table, new and old. She looked at the Sorting Hat, sitting proudly on its chair, and wondered if any of the first years she had spoken to on the train would be joining the pride.
After getting sorted into Gryffindor, Anne proudly walked over to the Gryffindor house table. As she sat down, she saw a prefect. "Hello, I'm Anne! I'm a first year!" said Anne excitedly. Anne saw a yummy looking cookie coming towards her. She took it and ate it. "Oh wow! This is delicious!" Anne said while her mouth is full of cookies.

Adam wasn't quite sure how he should've greeted them.It was awkward,he knew that.It was awkward to leave everything he loved,his sister,his first true love,his family an then come back.He wanted to believe that nothing had happened,that it would be all the same even if both of the worlds had been flipped upside down,but Adam knew that wasn't true.
So,he didn't want it to be more awkward than it really was,but somehow he had managed to make it even more awkward.
He had no clue what would become of him an Selina,Hugo,Fee..But lastly Kurumi.
They had left on a sad note,but the thing was,how would Kurumi react to...
But as he stood there,swaying in spot,she walked right up to him an slapped him.The force was so hard,with such rage an emotion that it turned red an his hand went instantly up to his cheek trying to rub it,an conceal the fact that the cookie girl had finally let some anger emotion out.
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then Selina turned around an looked at him,but told Kurumi to calm down,which he appreciated greatly,but Kurumi had still punched him.An then,with such an incredible force,Selina had punched him in the stomach.He rubbed it several times,looked shocked at Selina an Kurumi an then said in a rather rude,aggravated voice, "Who made you guys boxers!?I expect someone had to train you to hit that good..."
Then,he realized he had a hand on his stomach,another on his cheek.The two people that he loved had smacked him.
"Valerie," Kurumi repeated, taking extra time to make sure that she said the V properly. "Nice to meet you."
Kurumi blushed a bit as she watched the girl much on her cookie. Perhaps the most satisfying part of it all was having others enjoy. Eating cookies alone was always kind of sad.
"I did," she nodded. "Baking has always been a hobby of mine."
"They're brilliant! You'll have to teach me, I couldn't bake to save my life." Valerie blushed herself, where did that come from? Kurumi was obviously older than Valerie, she wouldn't want to spend time with a first year.
Seventh year officially begins now. Orlando Renaldi made his way to the Gryffindor table, realizing that KT or Legend would not be waiting for him. His last year was beginning without his best friends. Sigghhhhhh.
Nonetheless, the seventeen year old was all ready. And all excited! The boy wasn't sure who to share his weird feelings with until he saw someone he had not expected to see at all. Lexi Denver.
Shocked and amazed, the boy nearly tumbled his way to her and hugged her from behind. "LEXI! YOU ARE HERE!" he said, excitedly before pulling away. "You actually came!"

FLAIIIIIIIIIIIL!
Okay this feast was getting to be a HASSLE at this point. Lexi gave Orlando a half hearted huggle thingy back before he pulled back. "Hey Orlando... keep it down. I dun want to draw anymore attention to me than possible," she ALMOST scolded him.
...
Sighing slightly she brightened her face a bit for him and shrugged. "Someone has to be editor of the yearbook since Jim left us," she said with a chuckle of sorts.
... speaking of SORTS. She was OUT of sorts at the moment. She felt on the verge of a panic attack or something. She really was not keen on Hogwarts.
Lauren made her way over to the Gryffindor table after seeing Orchid join the Slytherin one. She felt awful, honestly, like her stomach had dropped out from under her. So far today she had said goodbye to her closest friend, her father, for three months and now she'd been sent in the opposite direction to Orchid, her newest friend. This bites... she thought.
Frowning, Lauren looked down the table in front of her, wishing she could speak to her Dad right now. Maybe she would send him an owl later...
