Okay, so the only time a reversed rune actually made a difference was if it was inverted as well as mirrored. Stasya made a note of that, as the headmistress had answered the question she had asked after offering her theory as to the penannular brooch bind rune’s meaning. The fact she’d agreed with her also made her feel accomplished, too, along with the fact it appeared most people were offering ideas on the hinge strap and the gold pendant. Easier wasn’t always better, or at least she was finding that out this term. Considering everything that was on her plate now, both due to her being a prefect and for other reasons. She wasn’t regretting any of it, either. Only if she completely failed at any part of what she’d taken on, and she was confident enough about most of it. Including her slowly developing knowledge about runes.
The whole Viking part of it all intrigued her too, and made her think about her family. The whole end part of the discussion, about how everything they’d talked about was just theories and not proof of anything nearly got forgotten in her considering other things. Family things, as her uncle and aunts had led to her thinking about her mama, and the mini-activity having to do with making up their own bind runes just sort of fell into place. She could have done a creature-related bind rune. It probably would have been nearly expected of her by now, or something having to do with cookies. Baking in general, but she liked that without runes to help her. Instead, she looked through all the runes and scribbled down something else entirely.
SPOILER!!: Stasya’s bind rune 
Runes used:
Hagalaz: hailstone, meanings: letting go of the past, destruction and rebirth, disappointment leading to change
Gebo: gift, meanings: relationships, romance, good fortunes
Raidho: ride or journey, meanings: a journey, change, progress, life lessons
Jera: year or harvest, meanings: change (positive), a positive resolution, with Gebo: happiness in relationships and/or money
The meaning of my bind rune: I created this bind rune to help my mama get past all the bad stuff that’s happened to her because of my papa leaving us. Because of her history, which is kind of mine too so partly the rune can help me get past it all too. Even though I’m still pretty sure my papa still loves me and my brother, and probably my mama too, he still abandoned all of us. Mostly, though, I want the rune to help my mama find someone who won’t abandon us, who can help her heal from the hurt that I know she feels even if she got an explanation from him.
She didn’t know if the headmistress knew about all of that, if Professor Hirsch had told her anything since she did know he knew. Considering she’d told him back when it had all happened, but either way, she’d made sure to add her name and information to the sheet of parchment before packing up her notes and everything else and stood to hand her the assignment. She trusted her enough to read it, even if she wasn’t quite as trusting to open up about the whole story. This had more meaning to her than just a creature bind rune.
“Thank you for the lesson. I found it really interesting to see some of the treasure close up, and to try and figure out the runes on it all,” she said, giving the woman a smile. At least she had something else to consider now, aside from the grindylows and her friends being injured, related to the Creature Companions activity. Now to write that letter to send to her aunt, or maybe just to her grandparents to bypass the confusion.
