"I think I got most of the runes right, Sir. I'm just not sure about the phonetic forms of the words." And she frowned at her notes before looking back up at the man nervously. Oh gosh, she wasn't going to disappoint him, was she?

He pulled her parchment closer and looked through his tiny glasses, "Yes, most scholars have issues with phonetics." Good thing he didn't let them study Scandinavian first to learn how they exactly pronounced things. "Marvelous!" He announced with a wide smile and looked over his glasses at the blonde Captain. "They're perfect. Your hand will get used to drawing the runes in time, but you did this perfectly. Great job." He patted her shoulder and handed her the parchment back. First one with no mistakes!

... Alec Alec Alec... was it Mr. Summer? He peeked at the boy quickly.

He grinned, then attached the parchment to the wood with his name carved on it. Did he need to carve Ella's name as well? For now, this would do. He got up and went to the front of the classroom to show Professor Botros his parchment and carved wood. "Have I done it right, sir?"

Did he need to write the translation underneath? Or was that Ella's job to find out what he had written? Gosh, that would be tricky. Hopefully no one would write HIM a message...

Oh! He recognized the Slytherin at once, and Botros kept his gentle smile on his face as he inspected the parchment. Knowing the kid, he expected something flawed, not because Kinsley was a bad student but because he had little patience for something like Runes. But this, the runic script on this parchment, was actually perfect if you ignore the clumsy drawing of the runes. He lowered his glass off his nose and gave him a wrinkly grin, "That's perfect, Mr. Kinsley!" There was more pride than surprise in his voice. "Great job!"

Although.... nice hair? Did the kids recognize nice hair when they saw it? Shouldn't they be eating candy and bantering about toys? O.O

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.

"Why, yes, of course dear. Come." He took the next girl's parchment and fixed his glasses back on his nose. Oooh those Slytherins were on a roll, it seemed. He gave her the same wide smile as Mr. Kinsely before, "Great job, Ms. Somerlad! How wonderful." PATPATPATPAT. They all needed more practice in drawing and carving those runes but it was alright, they were learning.

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.

SPOILER!!: Parchment

We are still friends.

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.

Botros nodded as the Gryffindor fixed her mistakes, "Very good, very very good. Now your work is perfect as well." He placed a hand on her shoulder gently. "Your carving is pretty good, too. See how the Burin makes a smoother look than the Intaglio spell? But not with everyone. Some people find the spell easier and produce smoother shapes." He, personally, liked the Burin. And she got this clarification because she asked about it before. He might be a forgetful person but he would never forget anything runes or student related!

.....except their names.
