SPOILER!!: Woods not on the list

"Unforunately Spruce, Cherry, and Sycamore woods are not used in Ogham Stave readings despite their use in wandlore. Sorry guys. Good guesses though." Professor Elwood finally found the parchments for the next part of the lesson and was ready to move on.

------------------------

"Now you all named about half of the woods but there are still some others, a few you might not think would count but they do." She checked her parchment and then proceeded to tell them the rest. "Alder, Willow, Hawthorn, Fir, Gorse, Heather," she then pulled out three large tins from her bag filled with sticks like the one she had just showed them, "Vine, Reed, and Ivy." Callie said as she pointed to each of the three tins in response to the last three 'woods'. "These three I had to bring because they tend to be thinner in the wild and need to be dried before being used."

The blonde Professor flicked her wand and sent a parchment to each student with all the wood names, their signals and the characteristics for the reading.

SPOILER!!: Parchment

Once a parchment had landed in the hands of each kid, Professor Elwood stood up and waved her wand around the tree walls of the clearing and marked each tree with a sign that said what they were, also sending a tag to the three in the tins. “Alright everyone, let’s go ahead and begin to collect your twenty pieces of wood, one from each of the tree types, and then return to the center of the clearing where we will start to carve our symbols.” And with that she released them to start working.

OCC: Go ahead and START collecting the wood you don’t have to, or even finish in one post this is supposed to take a few posts I would like everyone to have at least 3 posts of collecting and then we will move on with carving once I say so. Also I know I didn't really label trees but lets pretend okay? Thanks!

He caught the parchment in his hand and poured over it. Yep Ravenclaw geeking out here mhmm. He spotted the woodtype he suggested plus the others types that was mentioned by the class, glancing up only when other students started standing up to move on to the next activity.

Oh right, wood collecting-- based on the guide. Awesome!

He took his parchment and neared the Professor again, smiling shyly as he hovered near the tins for the Ivy, Reed and Vine "Uh... I'll start collecting these Professor." he mumbled as he collected one of each, slipping them gently into his robes pocket.

He turned towards the closest set of trees and matched the label to the list on the parchment. Ok so there was Birch, and Rowan wasnt too far away. He neared the foot of the Birch tree and eyed the ground, bending over and eyeing the fallen twigs and branches until he found something still good enough for their use.

He did the same when he neared the Rowan tree, picking up and discarding the pieces on the forest floor until he was left with one. Then he heard someone-- Kurumi?-- calling out for everyone to stop

SPOILER!!: Bowtruckles

He turned towards the sound, those icy blues grew large in alarm as he realized the Forest creatures have made an appearance. They didnt like what they were doing did they? His eyes darted immediately to the Professor. What were they supposed to do now? ~~does she need saving?~~

This little Bowtruckle was having a nice little lunch when he had heard the scittering and scattering of the rest of his family about the tall things in the forest again, the soft-ones. The didn't have hard bark-like skin like the Bowtruckles, they were different and NOT supposed to be in these woods. They had been known to come into the forest from time to time but there were a lot of them today and they were making lots of noise.... AND BREAKING THE TREES!!! One Bowtruckle reached out and tried to scratch one girl (sweetpinkpixie) and his friend jumped out on the ground infront of another who was trying to attack his tree-home. "Ra!! Raaa! Rit raaa!" The little guy jumped around and was poking his fingers in the air at the all the intruders.
