Emmaleigh beamed at the fact that she had gotten the answer correct. She then started to write down notes on her parchment

Text Cut: notes

Wait, that couldn't be right! it made no since to her. "Um Professor," she said raising her hand. "Wouldn't the rune for gradual change mean day, and the one for bold change mean year?" that made more sense, but hot to explain it. "Like, how when we were kids we were constantly growing, but if we measured out height everyday, we couldn't really tell the difference, but if we measured after a year of growing, there would be a noticeable difference."
