 Post #1 be curious, not judgmental
Galdrs were the worst part about runes for Sophie Brown, no doubt, so even though she knew it was coming... when Botros revealed it on the board and had them repeat it after him, she cringed. They weren't as difficult for her as they'd been a few years ago, but it was still a matter of... if she was chanting a galdr and messed up one part of the sequence, she had to start all over again.
So... she wasn't going to let that happen. No. Not today. She was a strong, capable, bright sixth year who could exceed even her own expectations with this.
She started with writing the galdr, copying it down to her notes from the blackboard: sowilo sowilo sowilo, jera jera jera, uruz uruz uruz, su sa si se so, ju ja ji je jo, u u u u u u r r r r r r. Realistically, it wasn't even that hard or long of a chant, so... full speed ahead, then.
"Sowilo sowilo sowilo," she started slowly, quietly, "jera jera jera, uruz uruz uruz," there was some brief hesitation and she drew her wand closer to the block of wood as she checked her notes for reassurance, "su sa si se so, ju ja ji je jo, u u u u u u r r r r r r."
It made her mouth feel funny every time, and she was certain her mouth looked weird and choppy as she pronounced every syllable with determination.
