Watching the niffler carefully, Amelia saw it sniff out the object in her hand before taking it from her. Okay, so that part was done and the creature seemed rather attached to the watch it now had in its possession. Not going to be easy to try taking that back without magic. She wasn't looking forward to the attempt. :/

Reaching out her hand towards the niffler, she tried to coax it into giving the watch back to her. "Here, niffler. Be good and give me back the watch." Nice cheery voice and soothing tone despite her fear.

"YIKES!" Amelia quickly moved her hand back when the creature snapped at her fingers. It had been a close call, and she wouldn't have wanted to be hurt by a niffler. D: She gulped and backed away as it now started trying to nip at the hem of her skirt. Backing away was necessary; more distance was needed. There was no need to be told twice.

And now she had to try performing the spell on the niffler when it was snarling at her. Too much pressure. She couldn't cope. D:

Snap out of it. This is just a niffler... you can handle it.

With that pep talk done, Amelia raised her wand hating the fact that her hand was shaking. After taking a deep breath, she attempted the circular wand movement with a flick at the end while saying, "Malin Calin."

Right away she could tell that the spell had failed just by the fact that it was red smoke coming out of her wand instead of purple.

"Oh dear." The niffler didn't seem to like being hit with smoke. At all. :/

The niffler on his desk was too busy biting the shiny object it had grabbed from Daichi's hand so that the Slytherin was practising the spell again. He raised his wand in thin air for the third time and with a circle and flick he said "Malin Calin!" as clear as he could. He frowned his eyebrows in concentration and the tip of his tongue stuck out the corner of his mouth as he watched purple smoke come out of the phoenix feather wand.

Smiling and eyeing the Niffler again, he tried to pet it's head but immediately the creature slashed at him. Growling if he came closer to the shiny object. Well, it seemed the Niffler wasn't going to give it back just like that. Daichi tried one last time but only got another growl. Sighing, he pointed his wand at the little creature who was looking at the wand, sniffling it even. "Malin Calin!" he shouted and circled his wand and gave a flick at the Niffler.

Purple smoke drifted out of his wand and began to surround the niffler. Had it worked? One way to find out. The Slytherin reached forward to pet the creature and was scratched on his arm. "Oww!" he yelped in shocked pain as he held his hand. Apparently, the spell had not worked.

Ceasing the scratching under the niffler's chin, Kurumi focused her attention to taking the trinket gently. Even if the creature appeared to be under the influence of her spell, she still didn't want to push her luck. There was no telling how strong the spell was, especially considering that this was her first attempt at this sort of magic. So, ever so gently, Kurumi tugged a little harder on the object and...pulled it free of the niffler's tiny hands.

YES!

Smiling wide, Kurumi relaxed in her seat a bit, setting the object on the table so she could catch her breath. She had sort of been holding it while doing this portion of the practical. The niffler stayed where it was, sniffing the air and looking rather perplexed as to why Kurumi had taken his precious.

Sitting up straight again, Kurumi clutched the object firmly in her hand and presented it to the niffler. It was supposed to take it back, right? Keep word being take and not snatch. Confidently, the niffler waddled closer and took it back, snuggling his precious to his chest.

Yep. She was going to have to try this spell on Walnut sometime.

Ella walked up to Madam Poppy and grabbed one of the shiny trinkets in her hands. She glanced nervously over at the nifflers and made eye contact with the one closest to her. With a slight shrudder, Ella crouched down and held the shiny object out a little in front of her. She began walking slowly backwards, careful not to bump into anyone, trying to catch the attention of the creature. "Here niffler niffler niffler...come and get it."

Slowly, very slowy, Ella led one of the nifflers back to her seat. She was eying the creature cautiously the entire time, not wanting it to get overly excited and pounce her. When she had arrived at her spot, she sat and held the object out towards the niffler. She hadn't anticipated the creature's reaction as it waddled right up to her and tried to get up her legs to the shiny object. "Ow, your nails-erm claws-that hurts!" Ella said, frowning at the creature. She quickly threw the object to the floor, watching as the niffler took it with pleasure. Rubbing her legs, she addressed the niffler with raised eyebrows,"Wow. Guess you like that, huh?" Now to try and get it away...

Ella reached for her wand and mentally practiced the incantation. Then, with a circle and a flick, "Malin Calin!" Nothing. That's what happened after Ella was done. She looked at the niffler to double check, hoping it had somehow let go of the object but the niffler was happily sniffing the shiny thing. "I'll get it next time." Ella said, not knowing what had gone wrong.

Okay, so the first attempt had done nothing to calm Amelia's nerves. Now the niffler was even more annoyed and louder than ever with its growls. D: She was scared that it would try coming at her again, but it looked like as long as she wasn't too close for comfort everything might be okay.

Another pep talk was needed. She told things to herself to help make everything better because confidence was needed. That and focus. Focus was definitely important and hard to come by with a creature growling at you. :/

"Here goes nothing..." Raising her wand again, Amelia repeated the circular movement and flick while saying, "Malin Calin!"

This time the smoke that engulfed the niffler was purple. She had succeeded! And it was definitely apparent in the way that the niffler stopped growling at her. Ooooh!! It was time to attempt petting it.

Cautiously Amelia stepped closer to it while timidly reaching her hand out towards it. "What a good niffler you are." And no snapping at her or nasty sounds came her way, so she slowly started petting the niffler. "That's not so bad then." :3

Ella watched as the niffler seemed to be trying to inhale the shiny object on the ground in front of her. She had to admit, despite the whole scratching thing, it was kind of cute. "I'm going to try that again okay, Niffler?" She asked, leaning forward a bit.

As if Ella had tried to snatch the object from it, the niffler locked eyes with her and began to make a sound that made Ella's hair stand on end. "Woah. Easy boy...I wasn't trying to take it." She slowly leaned back once more and raised her wand, watching the niffler warily. With a circular motion and a flick Ella said, "Malin Calin!" This time, there was a hint of black smoke coming from the tip of her wand. Not enough to make any kind of impression, just enough to let Ella know she had once again done things incorrectly. "Oh merlin..." Ella said, defeated. Her unsuccessful attempt only seemed to satisfy the niffler as it stoping making the angry noise and went back to happily attempting to eat the shiny object.

Remembering what they were told about petting making the magic work stronger, Amelia bent down and kept petting the niffler. She stroked it's head affectionately and scratched its ears. Did other things that she thought it might like while it made sounds that one could only assume were of contentment.

Finally when she was sure that she had done enough petting, she gently reached out and carefully took the watch out of the niffler's clutches. Good. Very good. There had been no protest or annoyance or anything. Straightening up again, Amelia held the watch for a few moments before backing away from the niffler.

She held out the hand with the watch in it, stretching her arm out so that the niffler could take it. She watched the niffler slowly walk over and take its watch back. "Good niffler!" She gave the animal another affectionate pat now.

Ellie pet NN a couple more minutes, just to further this establishment-of-trust thing. Soon enough, though, it seemed like the charm had worn off. Unsurprisingly, since Ellie was just a novice at this...so far.

She could see NN greedily eyeing the shiny, and gave it back to him/her.

Gave it a few minutes to enjoy itself.

Then cast again, "Malin Calin," circle, flick.

Ella decided that before she tried to cast on the niffler again she had better try and produce the purple smoke successfully. She held her wand out in front of her and said, "Malin Calin!" When nothing happened, Ella let out a sigh, upset. Come on, El, you can do this. Shaking off her annoyance, Ella held her wand up to try again. "Malin Calin!" This time, Ella was relieved to find purple smoke coming from the tip of her wand. "Yes!" She said cheerfully, looking down at the niffler with a triumphant grin.

Ella pointed her wand down at the niffler and made the circular motion with the flick towards the niffler. Suddenly, a wall of purple smoke engulfed the creature. A small smile appeared on Ella's face as she watched, fascinated. "You okay, little niffler?" She asked softly.

Next Ella was supposed to pet the creature. This posed somewhat of a problem for Ella as she was partial to her limbs and wasn't sure what the niffler would do to her when she tried to place her hand on the creature's body. Deep breaths, El. You're going to be fine. You're not going to die in this seminar... With determined look at the niffler, Ella slowly extended her arm forwards, placing her hand gently on the niffler. When her hand wasn't immediately bitten, Ella began stroking the creature. "There, see? Nice niffler. We can be friends after all." She continued to pet the creature, amazed that she wasn't being attacked.

Alyssa sat back at the Niffler played with the bell. He looked happy and when she reached over to pet him, he didn't even growl or snarl at her. He even brought the bell to her and put it on her lap. Alyssa giggled and placed the bell back in his mouth. She didn't know how long the spell would last, but she sure wasn't going to be holding the bell in her hand when it did wear off. The Niffler was more than welcome to keep it.

But he kept bringing over the bell and putting it in her lap!! Alyssa smiled at it."Thank you very much, but I think that you should keep it."Alyssa told the Niffler giving the bell back to it and petting it on the head again.

Ella continued to pet the niffler, feeling slightly more confident that it wasn't going to eat her or something equally horrifying. She slowly slid out of her seat, sitting in front of the creature, while she continued to scratch its head. "Nice niffler, you aren't so bad. Now don't get all crazy...I'm just going to-" Slowly, very slowly, she used her left hand to try and get the shiny object from the nifflers mouth while continuing to pet it with her right. After several attempts to tug the object from the niffler's mouth, Ella brought her right hand down and with both hands pulling, was able to successfully take the object. She looked at the niffler wide eyed, realizing it now had nothing in its mouth to distract it from her. Luckily, it didn't even seem angry that she had taken the object. Ella quickly placed it on her desk and placed her hands back on the niffler, patting it gently. "There we go, good boy. Good niffler." She had done it! She had actually done it! Ella smiled as she moved back into her seat.

Ella held the shiny object in the palm of her hand, wondering why nifflers were so attracted to shiny things. Perhaps they were like the pirates of the creature world, extremely attracted to treausre. She looked down at the niffler, amused by her thoughts. "Argggg." She said, giggling. The niffler's only response was to blink several times. With one more glance down at the 'treasure,' Ella held her palm out to the niffler. "This belongs to you now, thanks for not...you know...hurting me." Seriously! Coming away with only a few scratches was totally fine considering what Ella had imagined might happen. She smiled at the niffler sniffed the object then scooped it into its mouth and happily returned to trying to eat the thing.

The niffler on the table snarled and circled as if it would leap from the table top should Emrys dare to take the shiny away again.

Emrys held his want aloft, just in case the niffler got any funny ideas. Emrys went through in his head what he could cast - a shield, levitation, petrification. But it just snarled and scratched at the wood, hoarding the bauble.

Eyes fixed on his target, Emrys repeated the spell over and over in his head to get the pronunciation and cadence down. With a shuddery breath, Emrys thought about how much he wanted the niffler to like and trust him.

With a circle and a flick and a crisply pronounced "MAH-len, CAH-len,", Emrys stared the niffler down. Wispy purple smoke curled around the niffler's paws and body until it surrounded it.

Emrys smiled and reached out to pet and retreive, but as he did, the niffler began to hiss and lurched out as if to nip Emrys' hand. Reacting suddenly, Emrys stepped backward and fell over his chair with a thud.

OOC: Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply, and I won't be until later today, so you get an additional 12 hours to finish this part. May the pink be with you. Also, sorry for the OOC-only post. Yuck.

Errrr. Never mind the second creature. Luckily for Gwen, something else caught its eye. So I guess it’s only you, then, she thought and glimpsed at the niffler which still looked desperately at the shiny thing. ‘Come on’, she mumbled and walked back to her desk with the creature following the shiny object. Good. So far, things were going great. Well. Not exactly great…but good. Acceptable.

‘Fine. Here you go’, Gwendolyn said as she lowered her hand and gave the niffler the chance to grab the shiny object. Before she knew it, the niffler snatched the sparkly thing from her hand and gazed at it. Somehow, the young Raveclaw almost expected it to make a ‘MYYYY PRECIOOOUS’ facial expression. Which it of course did.

Now gimme back, she thought and extended her hand, waiting for the niffler to immediately give it back. Right. Hopefully no one saw that. As she gave a quick look around, Gwen could see how the creatures reacted when someone would try to take the object from them. Finnneeee. I believe it. I could skip this step, right?, she thought and then raised her eyes from the desk and looked at the pink lady. Yeaaah. If only she wouldn’t notice her not doing exactly what she was supposed to. Meh.

Even as she approached the niffler with her right hand, the animal clinched the object, so that it would have been nearly impossible to regain it. Pfft. However, Gwen didn’t stop right there and went on trying to snatch the sparkly thing back. ‘Ack’, the third year mumbled as the niffler scratched her hand. Umm… maybe I should stop before it starts biting, the Ravenclaw thought as she reached for her wand. Time for the next step.

Emrys sat on the floor, staring up at the niffler who was clearly, clearly gloating. His pride wounded more than anything else, Emrys stayed on the floor behind the chair, practicing the wand movement and focusing his intentions of goodwill on the niffler.

Standing, but remaining behind the chair, Emrys cleared his throat and held his wand aloft. Staring down the creature, Emrys circled neatly, "MAH-len" and flicked. "CAH-len."

Purple smoke sped toward the niffler, wrapping itself around the creature like an ill-fitting track suit. The snarling subsided and Emrys lowered his wand. Peering at the niffler, Emrys inched closer, but the creature didn't react hostilely as it had before.

Cautiously, Emrys stepped right up to the edge of the desk, preemptively wincing as if the creature would fly at his face and claw his eyes out the moment he got too close.

When the creature didn't move, Emrys dropped his arms and visibly relaxed. All that was left was to pet the thing and get his bauble back.

The niffler on his desk hadn't been affected by the spell and was still sniffing the shiny object as well as growling at him when he tried to pet the creature. Daichi decided to practise a few more times before he would try the spell on the niffler and after another three practises he managed to get purple smoke out of the wand.

It was the same kind of smoke the others had and he had seen some of the students petting their creatures. Pointing his wand at the growling thing, he circled it and with a flick of his wand he said: "Malin Calin!"

Purple smoke flew towards the creature and surrounded it's body in a sort of purple fog. For a moment, Daichi couldn't see what was happening to the niffler because his spell had been a little stronger than he thought, making the smoke not see through. Something that had surprised Daichi more himself than anyone else. As the niffler became visible again, he placed his wand on the table and reached for it to try and pet it.

Slowly, slower than he wanted, he extended his hand. Biting his lip in concentration as he and the niffler looked eye to eye. There was a moment of tension in which Daichi was sure it would snap at his hand again but when he petted the niffler's fur he let out a shaky breath of relief. The creature started to wiggle its tail and rolled over to its side so that Daichi could pet him there.

ITWASSOCUUUUTE~!

So... now what? Daichi looked at the board to read the next instruction.

...No go.

Which was WEIRD, you know, because USUALLY once Ellie got a spell, she GOT the spell. Especially Charms. Those were her best, you know.

Pay no mind to OWL scores, please.

So again, Ellie aimed her wand, "Malin Calin," circle, flick.

Emrys beamed and, with just a flutter of nerves in his gut, stuck out his hand and set it gently on the niffler's back. Two hesitant, long strokes along the creatures spine was enough petting, he imagined, as he felt the creature's breathing vibrate against his hand, almost like a kitten's purr.

It gave him goosebumps.

He drew back his hand a bit, but the niffler headbutted it, almost forcing the petting to continue. Emrys obliged, and wrinkled his nose in thought. He had to get the bauble. Against his better judgment, Emrys set his wand on the table and used his now free hand to coax the shiny out of the niffler's paws, with he kept petting it. Once the trinket was securely in his hand, the petting stopped and Emrys stepped back from the table.

The niffler simply sat, but Emrys thought he looked a little sad to be deprived of both his glitter and his attention. One last bit to do to complete the task. Taking his wand back into his hand, Emrys extended the trinket, fingers wrapped tightly around it and presented it to the niffler.

Still wary, Emrys wondered if he'd lose a finger in the process, but the niffler simply walked up to it and made no movement to steal it. Smiling, Emrys lowered his wand and exhaled. Task complete, he left the trinket on the table for the niffler to claim and gave it a final pat on the head.

The purple cloud of success came from Ellie's wand and surrounded the Niffler.

Very good.

The redhead reached her hand in, stroked NN, and took the shiny from him/her. Her...Ellie decided it was a her. "Good girl," she said, giving NN her shiny back.

She tried now to take it a step further, and silently cast. Just to pass the time until PPP started them on some new instructions. Basically, all you could see was Ellie performing the wand movement. Occasionally, though, a feeble wisp of purple came from the wand. Certainly not enough to call it a successful casting, but it was SOMETHING, and Ellie was quite proud about it.

Daichi continued to pet his niffler until he was sure he could grab his object back. He held out his hand and with a soft tuck it fell out of the Niffler's grasp and he picked it up.

"Good Boy~!...girl!...." Daichi stared at the creature and frowned. "What are you anyway?" he asked it and the Niffler was eyeing the shiny object in Daichi's hand but didn't try to snatch it like before.

He felt bad though, the shiny thing had to mean so much for it. Daichi gave the object back to the Niffler and the creature took it gratefully.

Sooooo... what was he suppose to do now?

"Is there anything you would like to do for me, you delicious piece of cauldron cake?" Poppy said batting her eyelashes flirtatiously. Cauldron cake was more delicious, though. Maybe she could use William to demonstrat an advanced Entrancement Enchantment or two to the students? She giggled as the thought crossed her mind. The Kissing Charm perhaps? No, no, that would be, uh, what do they call it-- Misprofessional, or something.

"Class," she began after pacing through the room, "you are all doing magnificently, but I must pause you for now. Please take a seat." She folded her arms as she waited, then continued. "Now that the nifflers have befriended you should be able to play with them safely even if you take their most prized possession from them. This is a very handy spell, and the more you practice the more powerful the effect of the charm will be, but remember: It is never permanent! Let's see... I think this would be a good time for us to move onto the next spell!" She moved towards the board and began to swish and swosh his wand as she spoke.

"This next one, will be the Attraction Charm. This is a little difficult to perform, so you are going to need to concentrate very hard! This Entrancement Enchantment is an Autogenous-Eros. You will cast it on yourself and it will cause others around you to become attracted to you. If your charmwork is sufficiently potent, it might even cause humans to develop a minor crush on you. The incantation is Coliuime Anbemailo, Coh-LEE-wee-meh Nn-BEE-my-low, and the wand movement is a simple point. In the Entrancing Enchantment world this charm is also known to as the Veela Charm, because it produces similar affects.

Now, you must all bring the shiny objects you have obtained from me and place them right here on my table. Next, you must cast Finite Incantatem on your niffler. Finally, cast the Attraction Charm on yourself and try to prevent the creature from coming to my table, where the shiny objects are. Got it? Oh, and if you happen to attract someone you really don't want to attract just slap them. Yes, slapping counters the Attraction Charm on humans. As for animals say 'shoo' and they will no longer the attracted to you. You may not use any objects to attract the nifflers, that is cheating! The student who attracts the most nifflers WINS!!!!! May the most charming of you all win!" She giggled and moved out of their way.

The Attraction Charm
Incantation: Coliuime Anbemailo
Wand Movement: Point wand at oneself

RULES
1. Bring all shiny objects to the table.
2. Cast Finite Incantatem on your niffler.
3. There are 10 nifflers total (not really a rule, but important)
4. To attract a niffler cast the Attraction Spell on yourself and RP interacting with the niffler in a post titled "Attracted Niffler #1" -- DO NOT WALK TO THE NIFFLER IT IS SUPPOSED TO WALK TO YOU!
5. To secure your niffler cast the Befriending Charm in a different post titled "Befriended Niffler #1" when the niffler is close to you.
6. To steal someone else's niffler you must attract them before they are befriended, after they are befriended you cannot steal them. Meaning, you only need two posts to get a niffler: One to attract, one to befriend.
7. You don't need to attract and befriend them in numerical order, but do pay attention to make sure you aren't attracting an already befriended niffler.

OOC: For this next part you need another five points to receive full points. Feel free to become attract to other characters and follow them allow, get slapped, and such. If you have any questions post here or VM me. This is the last practice for class. You will have until all nifflers are capture, and if that never happens then 72 hours from this post. Have fun!

...it might even cause humans to develop a minor crush on you...

That was mildly frightening. Did that mean that there was the potential for her classmates to start...snogging with one another during the course of this activity? EEK.

Pocketing her wand for now Kurumi scampered over to the table to drop off her object. As she returned to her table, Kurumi kept her eye on her niffler. She had to...break the spell? Well, that seemed only natural and expected, so Kurumi removed her wand again. "Finite Incantatem." Kurumi knew the spell had worked because the niffler was back to glaring and growling at her instantly. Great.

Clearly finding the table of goodies more interesting than her, the niffler jumped off the table and made a run for it. It had been nice while it lasted. Wand down on the table for now, Kurumi practiced the incantation a few times until she felt comfortable enough to maybe perform the spell properly. Just as long as the smoke was purple, right? Wand pointing to herself now, she Gryffindor took a deep breath. "Coh-LEE-wee-meh Nn-BEE-my-low," she murmured. Thankfully, the smoke was purple in hue, so that was at least a positive. She waited for some sort of effect to to...well...happen. Only she didn't feel any different. Was that right? Did that mean the spell hadn't worked? Only one way to find out, right?

Rising now, Kurumi walked to an open area of the classroom and sat down on the floor to wait. She figured that as long as she made herself smaller that even if her spellwork hadn't been the most potent, it should help. Animals responded better when you were not towering over them. So, Kurumi sat very still and waited. It didn't take too long, only about a minute or so before she saw some movement coming from her left. Slowly turning her head, Kurumi's breath caught in her through as a oogly eyed niffler made its way over to her. Oogly eyes...with mild sparkles in its eyes come to think of it.

Sitting very still, Kurumi waited as it continued to waddle closer to her.

First Ella decided to practice the new incantation aloud. She glanced down at the niffler, giving it a pat, before saying, "Coh-LEE-wee-meh Nn-BEE-my-low...Coh-LEE-wee-meh Nn-BEE-my-low....Coh-LEE-wee-meh Nn-BEE-my-low...Coh-LEE-wee-meh Nn-BEE-my-low" Once she was sure she had the incantation down, Ella headed over to Madam Poppy's table.

Walking quickly over to the table, Ella placed the shiny trinket down before walking back over to the niffler, who still seemed pretty calm without the object it so desperately wanted before. Grabbing her wand from her robe pocket, Ella pointed it at the niffler. "Finite Incantatem!" Now she had to act fast as the niffler seemed confused momentarily before turning to face the table up front. It began to waddle in that direction and Ella knew she had to grab its attention and fast.

Pointing the wand at herself, Ella said, "Coliuime Anbemailo!" She didn't feel any different so she turned her gaze to her niffler. It seemed that the niffler had suddenly changed its direction and was walking back towards her. Had the spell actually worked?!

Ooooh look at that little human. I must have her. Come here little human, I'm going to get you. Yes I am.

Ella watched as the niffler came at her quickly. She tried not to flinch, wondering what the creature would do once it got close. She wasn't eager to get scratched again. "Nice niffler, nice little guy. That's right, come this way."

You smell nice, human. Let me sniff you.

Ella giggled as the niffler began sniffing her legs. It tickled and she was surprised how well the attraction spell seemed to be working. "That's right, nice niffler." She said, patting the creature on the head.

Stopping what he was doing after playing with the Niffler as previously instructed by the strange older woman, August watched as she turned to the class. As she spoke he couldn't help but watch the little creature poke around the floor and then his hand where the shiny object was hidden.

Oh so now they were going to be like Veela's and attract everything? That already sounded as if it could go bad, but Miss Pricklepot was the instructor and the Gryffindor wasn't one to go against adults' wishes. So he stood up and walked over to the woman and handed her his shiny thing and then returned to the niffler and cast the spell to rid it of the befriending spell.

Once that was finished the fourth year turned his wand upon himself and was about to speak the incantation when....

O_____O

When had Kurumi become so...so...BEAUTIFUL?! Her dark hair fell like a waterfall on her shoulders. Her eyes were like pools of lavender and her skin looked so soft. The boy dropped his wand and began to walk towards her. If only she would hug him or maybe....a kiss?

Why hadn't he noticed her like this before?!

Kurumi continued to sit and wait as the niffler continued towards her in its trance-like state. Good good...no growling...no hissing...just...oogly eyes. When it was close enough to her to reach out and touch it, Kurumi gently patted the creature on the head to complete the process. The whole physical contact with the spell was sort of...frightening really. Who knew that the power of touch could be so...powerful?

Having now officially befriended the niffler, Kurumi scooped him up and set the little creature on her shoulder where he began to coo and nuzzle its head against her cheek.
Twirling her wand between her fingers, Kurumi pushed herself up off the ground with her free hand and then took a look around the room. She felt a little better knowing that her spell had worked, but she was still nervous about the potential chaos that could ensue...

And then her eyes fell on August who was walking towards her. Oh? Did he need some help with the spellwork? Completely oblivious to the oogly eyes and eyebrow raises that her fellow lion was giving her, Kurumi took a few steps closer to August. "You need some help?" He did usually come to ask her for help with homework and whatnot.
