Aaron grinned at the professor, just realizing that he hadn't actually greeted her. "Sorry about that, Professor. I hope your morning has been wonderful so far." Manners, see? He had those!

.... Pressing his lips together, the Hufflepuff accepted one of the handouts and quickly began reading over it. He was still listening, obviously, jotting down the occasional bit of wisdom. This was a lesson unlike any previous Runes class he'd ever sat through, if not a bit ingenious. Personality types were interesting all on their own, but throwing in the runes aspect seemed to breathe new life into his favorite subject. He'd never heard of this being done.

After a bit, he stood to peruse the collected Runes texts, wanting to cross-reference his work (since he was setting an example now, or something). And it surprised him that a couple were written by his late grandfather... It was a no-brainer to select those, and a happy, contented feeling blossomed in his chest. In fact, he beamed the entire way back to his seat; planning to waste no time in getting started.

For many silent moments, Aaron wrote, erased, crossed out, rewrote, and questioned each of his own answers. He'd read a passage from one book, check it in another, change his mind, rewrite his original answer again... He was eventually forced to turn to a fresh sheet in his journal with a distressed huff, studiously rewriting the entire page.

No complaints, though. It was nice to be challenged in this way! The sixth year really had to consider each answer...

SPOILER!!: Parchment!

It took about 20 minutes with his head down, to finally complete it... "Professor?"
