Angel looked at the Professor again and raised her hand. "Professor, maybe we do some sort of chant?" Angel wasn't sure but she thought that it was so cool if they did.

Well, she could think of a few people that needed it carved into their head. If it never healed them at least it'd get rid of them depending on what you carved with. A win win for her really. Alexa studied the runes while the others gave suggestions as to what they might be able to add to the bracelet to make it more effective but she remained quiet as the others gave their opinions because she was busy going through it all in her head, figuring how they all worked together the way they did to bring healing.

See? Sometimes it wasn't that she spaced out but rather that she was actually considering the topic to be discussed, though it wasn't always easy to tell the difference, like now with her emotionless stare that could pass for one of someone with a blank mind somewhere off in a daydream but NO SIR she was concentrating real good and he should have been proud of her silence.

Remember the days when she used to be disruptive???

Exactly.

The silence was however broken at the Professor's next question. "What Angel said. You just have to chant is all." Unless there was some new super secret method that he'd neglected to share at some point in her earlier life. Looks for you Professor Botros.

"The galdrs of the runes, sir." As in, that was what was chanted. If they were doing this, it was great practice; Toby had recently memorised almost all of the galdrs and any practice he good get was golden.

Hand up, the Hufflepuff responded, "By chanting the galdr of the runes.'' Or definitely some form of a chant if not the galdrs. He was sure of it.

"To activate runes, y'gotta chant the galdr, which is a fancy-shmancy sounding word that means spell... or incantation." Which she hadn't KNOWN for awhile and wondered what a galdr was and why it was called that and WHY it was so special... but being told that it was just a cooler word for incantation made the word a lot less intimidating.

So she explained a little. Just so the younger ones KNEW.

No. Really. It was.

Grayson stared down at his notebook and then at the textbook in front of him. MAN. Was he just behind or what? It felt like it. Like he wasn't tuned into this lesson and whatnot. It reminded him all too much of things he didn't want to remember back in Beauxbatons, which caused his neutral facial expression to twist itself into a small scowl.

.................... Whatever. Like he could STRUGGLE. Jeez. What was he, SOFT?

ANYWAYS. "The galdr. Yeah. It makes the runes glow and you feel their magical energy." Like they had with the torches back in the previous year. He'd remembered the way they had to keep on chanting the Kenaz rune -- it HAD been Kenaz, hadn't it? -- just to keep the torches lit as they made their way outside in the freakshow that was the weather. See? If Kenaz came up in his OWLs, he was SURE going to be able to show off his smarts.

What an easy question, too. He liked that.

"Good, good. Yes. In order to activate the runes and make their energy and magic flow through, we have to chant an incantation, something like a spell for each rune. You can find it under Galdrs in your textbook. Those spells and incantations are called Galdrs."

Ohhh, AJ knew this one too. She didn't even have to look into the book to figure that out. Chant, chant, chant. You had to chaaaaant. "Professor, you can't just chant, you have to REALLY mean it. You need to focus AND believe." That was important.

Maybe runes would actually be helpful in that profession. SO he was trying to focus a bit more on that class, just for future reference. He'd rather be safe than sorry!

He raised his hand to answer the professor's question. "You chant, but you also have to focus. If you're just saying WORDS it doesn't really do much. You have to really have the intent behind it," he explained. Sort of like an unforgivable curse, right?

"Exactly! Great answers!" He beamed at all of those, and looked at the younger students to pay attention. "When we chant those Galdrs, just like the regular charms we need to summon a very clear intention, we must have the will to invoke this rune's energy." Yeah? Yeah.

He turned to the box he'd brought from his office and tapped it with his wand to open it. "So, today, we're going to make similar Healing bracelets. I have bronze bracelets over here that we need to carve some runes onto it." He took it in his hands and started walking between the desks to give those bracelets out to everyone. "We need to use the spell Intaglio to carve the runes." Once everyone got their bracelets, he went back to his desk and grabbed his wand in his hand and the bracelet in the other. "Intaglio, pronounced IN-TA-LEO..." He raised his voice for everyone to hear. "... is specifically used to carve those runes. You need to say the incantatio followed by the name of the runes. Look at me for a minute and see how I'm going to do it."

He pointed his wand at the bracelet, focused for a second and started, "Intaglio Swoilo Swoilo Swoilo Swoilo Swoilo..." He stopped. "Keep saying the rune's name until its shape is drawn perfectly. You can practice drawing the rune on your parchment with your quill first if you're not familiar with it."

"If there's no questions you can start carving, exactly the same as those runes on this ancient artifact. Same runes, same order." He dropped his bracelet to his desk.
