Definitely some sort of competitive instinct coming out, since she wasn't hyper yet.

The thorn is a symbolic weapon, it can pierce, stab or tear but it can also be protective like a thorny hedge. It may also signify a stroke of luck, but is more often a warning that your luck is running out."

It also was seen for having a dark meaning behind it, even when not in the reversed state. It means using force, destruction, and conflict."

"Great answers, everyone!" Especially that girl's. Badger girl. Meh. Di really ought to have asked the students to make nameplates, or such. Maybe in the next lesson?

"Thurisaz represents forces and emotions - generally dark or evil. It is often considered a 'negative' rune, and characterizes anger, darkness, the desire to cause mischief and conflict in general. It is most commonly connected to Thor, the god of thunder, lightning and destruction; and Loki, a giant and known mischief-maker."

She paused speaking, to tap the chalkboard. "Let's see... Eagles still in the lead. Lions have finally caught up, and are now tied with the Snakes."

Digging into the small runes-bag, Di brought out another rune. "So, who can tell me something about this rune?"

Points Chalkboard:

Ravenclaw: 11
Hufflepuff: 6
Gryffindor: 4
Slytherin: 4

OOC: This is the last question for this evening, guys. Thanks for the fun. I'll resume this lesson later, most likely in five or six hours. Once again, chatting is okay in small amounts. ^__^
