Runes.. confusing. Ella didn't understand at all. She glanced at Tibi in awe. How was he so smart?

Stupid question.

She wished she was as smart as him. She knew Gryff's house was in last place. If only something could happen which would (magically) make her smarter. As if.

So Ella scrunched up her face, gazed from the cake to the teacher, and resisted from pulling her hair out. Ughh, she needed a tutor. Or a smarter brain. Either would be delightful.
