After she had successfully carved her Ehwaz rune on the wooden pendant, Vivian took a few seconds of 'rest because she deserved it' and then proceeded to activate her rune. She took another deep breath -- she was going to need water after all this chanting, really -- and focused her energy on the true meaning of the rune Ehwaz. Protection, horses, good luck, travel, movement. Yes, that was it. "Ehwo ehwo ehwo, e e e e h w o o o, ehwu ehwa ehwi ehwe ehwo, ehwo ehwe ehwi ehwa ehwu, e e e e h w o o o...." The Slytherin began to chant.

But there was no white glow. Yet. She wasn't as experienced as the others, but she wasn't going to give up easily.

"Ehwo ehwo ehwo, e e e e h w o o o, ehwu ehwa ehwi ehwe ehwo, ehwo ehwe ehwi ehwa ehwu, e e e e h w o o o." Still nothing, not even a faint white glow. She had to focus more, concentrate and think about everything Ehwaz. She was going to do it. Besides, the fourth year wasn't the only one who didn't get it at the first try.

Protection. Travel. Trust. Horses. "Ehwo ehwo ehwo, e e e e h w o o o, ehwu ehwa ehwi ehwe ehwo, ehwo ehwe ehwi ehwa ehwu, e e e e h w o o o...." There was now a tiny glow of white, which made Vivian smile a little. It meant she was getting there. Just a couple more tries! With her mind cleared of everything else but Ehwaz, she gave it another shot. "Ehwo ehwo ehwo, e e e e h w o o o, ehwu ehwa ehwi ehwe ehwo, ehwo ehwe ehwi ehwa ehwu, e e e e h w o o o!"

Ah, there it was. Her pendant finally emitted a bright white glow. Way to go, Fairfield!
