Heath hated being confused! He was a Ravenclaw, for Merlin's sake! Ravenclaws were supposed to have all the answers. He listened to the professor, hoping things would make more sense soon. Oh, Ehwaz… the rune associated with movement. That explained the dancing (sort of). Couldn't a less silly form of movement have served the same purpose though?

Try as he might, Heath couldn't think of a single thing to say about Ehwaz that his classmates hadn't already. He kept quiet during that discussion, jotting down notes on the others' answers, but he instantly perked up when he heard the instructions for the next activity. Racing was much more his speed (no pun intended) than dancing! The only thing that would make it better was if they got to actually build their own cars for the race.

Heath didn't have to look far for a partner. He chuckled softly as Claudine poked him. "Always," he replied, smiling. His eyes momentarily* flicked to the instructions written on the board, and he said, "So I guess we should practice the galdr."
