Emily sat and nodded slightly as Jake talked.
"So each rune has a different meaning and gives off that particular energy. Like... Thurisaz means thorn, and is supposed to help you focus?"
Wait, had she just skipped ahead? Anyway...

"The tales of Beadle the Bard? Is it a book written in ancient runes?"
That would be cool! Like a secret letter... except in book form...

As for specific runes, "Do you have to learn the meaning of every rune for class? Just 'cause there's 24 of them and I don't think my brain has enough room for them all." she smiled anyway. "Yeah, it does sound confusing"
He made it sound a lot easier out loud, rather than in text book form.
There's something she never though she'd say!

"And Hi Jake" she added once Jake introduced himself.

"Transfiguration," Jake replied, Summoning his textbook from where he'd been sitting earlier and flipping through it. "I'm aiming for twelve Os this year. It's my NEWT year," he added, just in case she didn't know.

And she probably didn't... since he didn't mention it earlier.

On to the runes!

Wait, what? "Thorn?" Jake repeated, and found the right page. "Ah, no. The whole 'thorn' thing is about the sound it makes when you translate it, okay? So Thurisaz makes a 'th' sound, like in 'thorn'... that's all that means. For the meanings, you gotta look at chapter five."

Jake flipped back to the last chapter and gave Emily a smile. "So Thurisaz is what it says here, kind of like you said: focus, discipline, conflict, a painful event, yada yada yada.

"As for remembering the meanings, I wouldn't worry about that too much. I like to try and remember them. The brain does have an unlimited capacity."

But she didn't have to worry. Nope. She seemed... quite young. She'd pick up on it.

"Beedle the Bard was all written in runes, yeah. Originally. But anyway, is this making any sense to you?"
