SPOILER!!: Louisa Quote:

Louisa caught Vivi's eye and gave her a smile and a silent salute, the roomie helped a lot during Louisa's illness. At least she didn't cringe so offensively like certain people.
Then Elijah's question echoed through the classroom causing the Ravenclaw's eye to twitch as she forced herself to stay sweetly calm. Girls were far better at this than boys by the way, it's a universally known fact.
So when the professor asked Elijah why he wanted to know, Louisa shot her hand in the air and blurted out an answer of her own, " Oh Elijah is a pretty outstanding student when it comes to Ancient Runes, sir." She gave the Hufflepuff a poisonous sweet smile. " Always up for extra knowledge and assignments, too." There it wasn't a bad revenge or come back, not a strong one either. Just playing with the curly head's nerves.
Even for someone who could make out that deep accent, Louisa had to squint her eyes at the man and try to repeat his words in her heads a couple of times before understanding the keywords. She was about to answer but Vickers' thoughtful and confused face. She leaned closer and whispered the translation, " He's asking about the alphab--" ACHUU! MERLIN'S BEARD! Louisa flushed as her handkerchief clasped on her nose and mouth, embarrassingly wiping. Stupid flu!! She went on with her translation, her voice muffled with the hanky, " The alphabet. What it's called and why."
Once she was sure no upcoming sneezes were going to surprise her, she raised her hand, " There are many Runic alphabets, sir. The Elder Futhark, the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, the Younger Futhark and more. The Elder Futhark is the oldest version and we've been studying that in Hogwarts." Well, at least for as long as Louisa had been here. " It's called Elder after the thought that it's the oldest Runic alphabet, and Futhark after the initial of the first six rune names." She didn't know whether to go on with her explanation or not. HEAD GURL SAY WHAT, NOW!?
O________________________________________O
Oh. She. Was. Going. To. Pay. So. Freakin. Hard.
"How kind of you to say such kind things about me Louisaaa," Elijah responded through gritted teeth. "I, unlike Louisa, can truly appreciate Runes for what they are. She once said to me how Runes are only for realllly old and senile people. She is soooo ignorant to the true wonders of Runes. She probably thinks you are old and senile as well, Professor Christiansen, which is such a pity. I mean, LOOK Louisa! Not a grey hair on his... red... head," gingers were so weird, "I think you should apologise for being soooo rude."

"Yes it's called ze Elder Futhark, bui not becauser it's ze oldest." He said and laughed.
"You forgots ze vy... vy is it called zat." He told them shaking his finger at them.
"Ya... very good." He said nodding.
"Zat so?" He asked and he looked at the boy. "Zen find ze answer to your own question... Vich runes vould you use for an intruder?"
"No." He said unimpressed.
"Miss. It is your job to prepare for class." He said glaring at the girl. "Vy else do you purchase books before class." He said shaking his head. "If you vant to just sit zere doink nosink, zat is fine, but you vill not earn participation points." He said.
Pointing above the students he drew the Futhark in the air for them: 
"Pick one rune and tell me it's meanink." He said waiting for the students to start off. Quote:

And now she translated it.
"Thanks Louisa." he nodded quietly and gave her a thankful smile, although at the back if his head he struggled with his OCD kicking into high gear, trying to keep his fingers stapled onto his desk and not whip out his wand and scourgify every square inch of his face, his clothes, his things, his desk and doing the same to her. He scolded himself quietly to keep calm, after all she has been under the weather since December rolled around, and he has attended to her, given her hugs-- whatever she has, he already has it. So he should just chill right? Right.
Thing is probably everybody he has had contact with may have the bug whizzing around inside them too by now. Ooops. Merry Christmas Elijah.
And really, keeping calm and not laughing out loud is the best he can do at that moment as the Head Girl has managed to turn the spotlight back to the Curly Puff. Yeah come on buddy, work that charm on the ginger Viking, how much harder can it be from a 70 year old pensioner right?
Ok he understood the pick one rune... but tell him the what? Again wheels spinning in this Ravenclaw's head. The most he can probably do was just say something about one of them right? Oh boy here we go half guessing... and up goes the hand "Uhm Professor there is the Jera Rune, its the 4th symbol in the second Ętt, it has a general meaning of harvest, fertility and fruition, which essentially means successful endeavors or that there are hopes for peace and prosperity."
Apparently shoving Louisa under the Express didn't exactly distract the Professor from Elijah's apparent wisdom for Runes. "Hm? Me? What do *I* think? Ummmm I think.... that... the onee Rune that reeeeeaaaallllly represents intrusion is... umm.... um...."
Sweating. SWEATING.
SPOILER!!: Vivi, OUR SAVIOUR Quote:

Hand up! "Professor, I'm not sure what Elijah's opinion is, but I would say Hagalaz would represent the intruder quite well. That rune is the one of disruption and interference, although not insurmountable ones. Some might even interpret interference as an opportunity for growth. What do you think, Mr. Wilde?" Boom. Vivi does Runes. Take it and run, Elijah-Puff.
"YES!" he practically shouted as Vivi gave him a lifejacket, "Yes. I was JUST about to say that, Vivi. It's sooo funny how our minds are so alike. As well as interference being opportunity for growth, I also see it as just mere rudeness and inconvenience, no?" he beamed at Louisa, completely smug with himself.
"We should tooootttalllly talk Runes sometime after class, Vivi, when we're not in the wonderful Professor Christiansen's class," he gave her a small wink as thanks for her help in that, otherwise, extremely horrible situation.
Elijah shot Vickers a look that could be directly translated too: 'Best get Lady Voldemort here under control lest you want the class to find out about your extremely 'non-childish' timepiece'. One would have to be very fluent in body language, though, to gain the FULL message, but Elijah had faith in Vickers.
