Alexa needed to snap out of her seeming shock before the Professor started asking questions that she'd rather not answer. Was it possible to slip away for a quick minute, run off, grab her rune set then slip right back into the class? Could she risk it? Nah, there were Firsties here. They had the tendency to blurt out the obvious. 'Look! A dragon flying toward us!' 'Hey, you just tripped me!' 'Professor, that Gryffindor girl is sneaking out of your class'. 11 year olds. They were not to be trusted with stealth missions. NOPE. Consequently, she would stand here, staring at the Professor and hoping the use of the rune set didn't actually happen.

Lex listened as carefully as she could to the story and nearly squealed when she heard they'd be horse riding today.....and something about someone coming. Yeah, sure. bring on Grani! She wanted first ride, in case anyone was wondering.

At his question her hand shot up. "What about Hagalaz, it deals with drastic change if I remember correctly, which is what we're looking for, yeah?" Whatever it was they were drastically changing.
