The man had forgotten the boy's name (like usual) but he'd guessed from the runic scribble on the parchment. "So you use Ehwaz the one equivalent to 'e'." he pointed behind him on the tablet written on the blackboard.
Next. Botros nodded approvingly at what the boy has written so far. "The rest is very good, great job. But you can't write 'see' as the single English letter 'c'. You write it as 'Si'. The same goes for 'You', you write it as 'Yu'." He pointed at those two words on the little kid's parchment. "You can write year as such." He took the quill from the boy and wrote down "Yir". "So it's Jera, Isa and Raidho." There! He looked back at Asher's face and smiled. "Everything good so far?" Who was he sending it to, by the way? HMM. Curious Botros was curious.
"Hello miss Cambridge, let me see." He took the parchment from her hands gently and pushed his glasses up on his nose. "Good job, good job. There is a tiny mistake though, how do you write 'are' in a phonetic form? Do we pronounce the 'e'? Are..." He said it for her. "Same goes with 'friend'. What do you hear when I say it? Friend.." He repeated slowly and handed her a quill. "Write what you hear." He waited with a gentle look on his face.
Clasping his hands on top of desk, Botros nodded with a smile at the Hufflepuff Captain. "Sure, come on closer." He had high expectations for this one.

And she kinda got bored so she started looking around and watching others either carving, chanting or squinting at books. Heh. Good thing she was done.
Then turning back to Lex she grinned and took the letter. Whut? Still friends? Cassia rolled her eyes at the lioness, "Really?" She said pointing to the letter. "Should I have been worried about that because I hid the parchment from you?" Because she wasn't?
ANYWAY! "But I'm still flattered," She said reaching for the piece of wood that had her name.....or three letters of her name. She didn't get to complain, though, because she did the same.
Then Professor Botros checked her work. Ooops. Cassia just noticed the 'e'. "Better scratch those unnecessary runes,"She whispered nodding. And it wasn't that hard so it was a relief.
And now she wondered about her own. She took the letter and went to the Professor's desk. "Mind seeing mine, Professor?" She asked putting it before him and not really giving him a chance to say no.
Yeah she saw how this was. You get one thing wrong and suddenly it's 'no shoulder pats for you'. Pffffft, she was onto him and his game. Depriving her like this but she wouldn't say she knew in case it was meant to be a secret of some sort...
Her attention went back to Cassia who was telling her to scribble them out, nah, she'd just rewrite them. They would look less messy that way.
This would only take her a minute. Lex got her parchment then found herself riiiiiiiiiiiiight by the Professor again.
There! Now she was
done. Lex took her wood back, rip off the other piece of parchment and attached the new one.
"That should do it." Nod.
"You have friend in your note. See why you should have just let me copy yours?" Then they wouldn't be having her repeat stuff.
There was a lesson to be learnt her Cassia.
