Having been too busy starring at her little carving in the wood piece, the Slytherin looked up and around as the Professor said something about re-holstering their wands. Eh. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Placing her wand back into its holster, Evelyn glanced over to the person who said something about a quidditch team before…shaking her head as her shoulders shook from keeping in the laughter. What made it funny was that kid was noooot a first year.

As for the falsetto aspect, that is not strictly necessary but some find that it helps and many muggles who attempt the magic do it. You can combine different runes into one galdr to suit your purposes but for today we will stick with the one galdr per rune, much like the example given a moment ago with:
"fehu fehu fehu
f f f f f f f f f
fu fa fi fe fo
of ef if af uf
f f f f f f f f f."
He fell quiet and looked around the room, eyeing the fehu runes that were carved around the place, some of them appeared to glow slightly but that was to be expected as many of them he'd carved himself.
"Can anyone think of how a basic galdr like this is similar to the Intaglio spell method that we practiced with our wands?"
Rubbing her eyes, because she swore it somehow became a tad lighter in the room and she didn't see the Professor really use any spell, the Slytherin kept her focus on the discussion at hand for a moment...thinking about what was being asked.
Erm...
"The Intaglio spell was almost like a...chant? Which would make it similar to a galdr." she said a tad uncertainly after she raised her hand. Right? Or maybe not. They did have to think about the rune and concentrate on it and that's what supposedly you did with a galdr.
Maybe.
Eh. Scooting her chair in back to the table, she set her board down on the top as well as the book. At least the table was dry now.
