And according to some Muggle researchers, female body was stronger than male's. Not to mention they would have stronger personality. Though he didn't say that. The strenght was already written for male, and he didn't have the courage to object that.

"I believe the woman rune can also represent healing and homeliness - domestic things, where you consider 'home'. Perhaps familiarity? Though if I recall correctly, it can also imply slow progression..." she said quietly.

"Professor, wouldn't the woman rune mean rebirth, to give birth to something? I mean as women isn't that what we do. It doesn't have to be a child. It come mean to and Idea too." She said looking at all the ideas already listed.

"Bearing and giving birth... let's call that fertility. Jealousy... hmmm I'm not sure If I'll accept that, I've known many a jealous man... let's leave that off. But home and bravery are great ones!" She said and pulled up the Woman's rune, "It is also in the shape of a magic wand... the kind muggles used to go look for water with. So how about sorcery, magic wands and... women are known to be mysterious... so mystery." She said adding to the board.

"Joining of forces, union... yes... very good." She said, "We got guidance and power... but yes rings can mean crossing point or joining. Rings are also used to bind... bind people in marriage... and shackles are rings too, so binding."

None of those explanations however, gave reason as to why it may have been in the Headmaster's office; unless some of the runes were meant as blessings, rather than curses.

"Problems, tumoil, angst... Life, rebirth... great stuff guys!" She said writing it down.

"Clarity, and awareness, divining powers... this IS the third eye. Great additions." She said. "How about Focus? The eye also symbolizes high magic."

"Growth, beginnings, bounty, completion... good job." She said. "I'm going to add good fortune and abbundance."

"The future..." she said letting the chalk write. "I'm adding money, personal glory, dreams and ideals... I always say reach for the stars!" She giggled.

Hopefully, what he said made sense or even better that he was right, he doesn't want to make a foul out of himself in front of the whole class.

"Endless... I like that... what about messages, our owls fly!" She said.

...Or something.

Despite the fact that it made him a tad embarrassed AND it messed up his hair, he should take it as a compliment or something, right? Right.

He raised his hand a final time. "Could the moon also mean guidance? People in the olden times used to base their calenders and crop rotations off of the moon, so it basically guided their way of life. Even today our calenders still have those little symbols indicating what stage the moon is in as the month progresses."

"Hmmmm let's call that 'habitual' Mr. Greenwood, because we refuse to move forward." She said and nodded to the head boy "Guidance... alright. It also stands for memory."

"Center..." She said and added, "How about new direction."

"Hmmm? Headmaster Tate did." She said and continued with the lesson.

"Alright..." She flourished her wand and summoned a bag of witches' runes on each of their desks. "There is a white silk casting cloth in each bag. Lay it down on your desk and come up with a question. Concentrate on the query or feeling you would like the runes to help with then take ALL 13 runes in you wand hand. Cast them as if they were dice. You will only read the ones that will fall face up. The one farthest from you is you lead rune. The MOST important. If all your runes get cast face down, the question was not one that should be answered." She said. "Do your best in answering the question with the rune results. Remember, I don't teach divination, don't think this is the end all be all, your future is up to you to decide." She sat at her desk and said "Begin, and then let me know your findings."

ooc: HAVE FUN WITH THIS! There is no right or wrong.
