Pesky child? Di eyed her. Then...

"Miss Flores-Shepard it is, then," she said, cheerfully.

Yummy!

Hmmm... Berkanan. Iris thought for a minute about the name, and tried to get things to come to mind. Raising her marshmallow-y stick, Iris spoke up. "Berkanan is the rune of Growth and fertility, I believe."

She couldn't remember since the last time she picked up her rune book was last term. She was too busy studying Transfiguration over the summer to study anything else, but, she had a good feeling she remembered correct.y

Eh, might as well take a risk. "The rune Berkanan represents birch...which means growth?" that didn't sound right...well it did, but still. Sophie took bite of her marshmallow and pondered on her answer.

Di nodded. "Berkanan is a reconstructed Proto-Germanic name. Literal meaning, 'birch.' It is another of the runes recorded in all three Rune Poems, and represents nourishment, new beginnings, physical or emotional growth, and progress. Quite a positive rune, in fact."

Tap, tap on the chalkboard. "The Slytherins are on fire! Eleven points ahead of Ravenclaw, the closest competitor, now." Impressive.

Di's hand doooove into the runes-bag. She held up a new rune. "Let's see who's the first to guess this one!"

Points Chalkboard:

Slytherin: 36
Ravenclaw: 25
Gryffindor: 18
Hufflepuff: 7
