She was pretty pleased that Professor Botros had gotten her name right, twice. After all, she'd chatted with him a little bit now, so if he still didn't remember it she probably would feel a little sad - because that would mean she wasn't memorable. But since that was not the case, she was in a good mood. And she was excited to finally know how to carve the runes with their magical properties intact. Learning last year for decoration had been good practice, but this - this - was where it was really at.

Thinking of runes that would be useful to her, her mind automatically went to something for courage or speed to help her with Quidditch. Then, of course, she wanted to have quicker wit and a sharper tongue, so she made a mental note about that wish as well. And she also wanted to be more creative. She drew a lot now, but she knew she could always get better with more practice, and if she had a rune to boot, who knew how well her sketches might turn out? She hoped she'd have enough time to practice carving them all, but if not she'd have it in her notes to try later.

SPOILER!!: Notes

She opened her textbook to the Elder Futhark page and began perusing the runes. She still didn't have them all memorized, but she was working on it. Tracing the page with her finger, she stopped on her first desired attribute: Uruz.

She concentrated on the rune and how it was said to help with strength, vitality, releasing or taming power, clearing obstacles, and that it was good for hunting - which she thought was a lot like Quidditch. In-tag-lio, in-tag-lio. Intaglio, Intaglio...Uruz, uruz, uruz, uruz....

She felt fairly ready to try, so put on a pair of goggles and gloves, though she wasn't sure why they'd need them, and aimed her beech wand at the wood on the desk and said the incantation. "Intaglio Uruz, Uruz, Uruz, Uruz, Uruz..." She watched the wood on the desk dent into the shape of the rune slightly, but it wasn't enough. It's just your first try though, so no big deal. Just try again, right? She aimed her wand again and concentrated.
