Raising her hand she said "Professor, the Flight Rune means that you are running from or are going to be running from someone or something. You are scared of something so you are running for your life."
Was this one of the runes found in the headmaster's office? Was Headmaster Bontecou running for his life from someone? Quote:

"It could be positive or negative, but there is a beginning and an ending, but what happens in between could be unexpected?" She was grasping at straws, she just couldn't remember what exactly the significance of birds had meant before the 18th century. Quote:

Quote:

Or an agent of change." "Running, Escape, Freedom, Change, abandonment, transition. All very good!" She said. Quote:

Gypsies called it schion or 'arms of protection'. " "Yes, a fan of the bard..." But not of the moon... "Alright... femininity." Quote:

Originally Posted by Ellabella Fred decided to take on one of the runes the professor mentioned and answered, "Could the woman rune mean nurturing, like a taking care of something, something that requires gentle handling is in you're future.". "Caring and nurturing. Gentleness..." she repeated. Quote:

She read somewhere that people looked to the stars when they needed directions. Quote:

It was a long shot but it sounded good. Quote:

It can tell you you need to follow a path toward spiritual fufillment, and at other times lead you down a path towards monetary fufillment and success in the concrete world. It is always changing as our directions change, but be sure when you follow the path the star rune directs you down, you can never go wrong. Your future is bright and secure at least so long as your star shines." Quote:

"Professor, couldn't the star mean emptiness or the unknown? Because stars are up in space, and there is a TON of empty space up in our solar system, and to a lot of people, it represents fear and loneliness. You'd obviously be lonely up in space with no one but the Martians to keep you company, and a lot of people fear space and the solar system mainly because it's SO huge that we had no idea what's out there in some of the furthest corners of our galaxy."
He was also about to suggest that the woman rune probably meant DRAMA, but he kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to get anyone upset! Quote:
Originally Posted by SenoritaMaxie She half-lowered her hand, then raised it again. "The star rune, that could mean a lamp. I mean, guidance. Hope, or the opening up of a new path. But it could represent fire, too -- the frustration, riot kind; maybe the happy, joyous kind. I guess one could go a lot of ways, when interpreting this particular rune." Fire encompassed so many boundaries.
She finally lowered her hand. Quote:

Her parchment was full with notes, useful and unuseful, but no her notes wern't pristen neat, she had doodled round the edges. Giving the sheet that funky look. She chuckled to herself.
But she wanted to answer a question, and what a question to answer! She remembering reading a book once about runes, it described the different runes and there meanings, if only she could remember them. The women? The Star? Bella listened to the other's in her class answer as the tryed to recall, at last she thought she had something,
"Professor, does the star rune mean, something like being the centre of attention, as star?" She asked slowly remember. She smiled. "Guidance, that's a great one... Center, fulfillment, shininess... loneliness, as it's a single star and not stars," she wasn't too sure about the Martians though, but she smiled and ruffled the headboy's hair. "Hope is great too..." she said nodding. Quote:

Yet on the other hand she had brought up that they were from the Headmaster's office, that it was part of foul play, and they apparently knew what was going on. So she was being honest, but at the same time keeping them in the dark. It reminded him of muggle media. He couldn't keep himself from vocalizing his confusion. "Fair enough. Why then tell us that they are part of an investigation currently underway, regarding the disappearance of the previous Headmaster?" She had to know that they would ask questions. Not to mention evidence was evidence.
"Or are those seven rune stones rare and not regularly used or seen?" He added on in a toe of sincere interest. Awww the boy was getting frustrated with her. She smiled at him, "Actually I said nothing of an investigation currently underway," She told him, "I simply answered your question. And to answer your other one, all 13 of them are rare. However, if you have theories on how the headmaster disappeared with the use of the seven I mentioned, then, please, see me in my office later." Quote:

Raising his hand feebly, Jake sneezed again, coughed, and spoke. "I juhh-just know the ar-arrows muhh-mean argummmments and nuhh-negativity."
How very fitting again! Sneezing another time, Jake started to get a little nervous. No longer about the runes, but the potion. But he wanted to get out anyway. "Puhh-please, ppprofessor!" he begged, noting the way she called him Master Upstead again. That hurt, man. "I nuhh-need tuhh-ter..."
It was definitely time for the puppy-dog eyes, but Jake just couldn't. He was exhausted. Instead, the boy lay his head back down on the desk. He'd wait it out if he had to, but this place was messing with him. The kid wasn't making much sense... "Arguments..." She sighed. "Very well... have the nurse give you a note and bring it to the next class." She said and went back to the class. "Feel better Jake." She said before resuming the lesson.
