“I am going to talk to you in this speech about the rune Dagaz. Dagaz is widely known as the Rune of Transformation. The word Dagaz actually means day- which is obviously the start of new beginnings.

The rune Dagaz is considered as the rune of bold or radical change- meaning something that happens quickly, it represents a sudden change, whereas Jera is known as the rune of gradual change, its change takes place over a longer period of time- they are in essence, known as counterparts of each other.

The runic number of Dagaz is known to be 24- whereas the runic number of Jera is known to be 12.

The colour that is commonly associated with Dagaz is Light Blue- this colour is also associated with new beginnings.

All known runes have a corresponding gemstone; the gemstone that is associated with Dagaz is named Chrysolite, which is more commonly known as Peridot, which is a motivator- which is yet again related to opening up the sub- conscious and conscious to new beginnings and opportunities. It is usually some form of golden/yellow green colour. The two elements that are both related to Dagaz are Fire and Air, both are equally powerful elements. “

Taylor finishes her speech and smiles at the Professor. “Thank you so much for teaching me this term.” She says kindly, before picking up the paper and playing with it slightly, before finally turning to leave.

Di made another little note in her notebook, before giving the Slytherin a small but warm smile.

"Have a good day, Miss Wattsfay."

Dipping her quill in her ink she began the test. after only a few short moments she was done. She stood up and handed her parchemtn to the proffessor. Seating down at another desk she began to write her draft while the other girl gave her speech.

When the girl had finished she appraoched the podem. Gave a quick smile and began her speech.

“Runes have and extraordinary history, one that dates back to ancient times. No one knows excacly how old the runes are but rune-like symbols have appeared in cave markings as early as the late 1300 B.C and are mentioned in the bible."

She took her eyes off her speech and began to only glancing at her paper for a moment and then back to her audience. (The professor)

"The word RUNE itself comes from the old Norse word ‘runa’ meaning secert or mystery and rune means text, letter or inscripttion. Runes were given meaningful names. The runes represent objects, gods, people, animals, concepts and occurrences. Each rune letter or shape had it's own sound, and meaning, in fact each rune represented a diety or so called God, that gave it it's special power. People of old believed that by carving runes into their personal property or other items, the God or diety over that rune would protect the item, they even believed that a sword could be made more powerful for use in battle by carving runes into it.

One of the uses of the runes is the system of writing, they would used it to write many languages including, Gothic, German, Frisian, English, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Lithuanian, Russian, Hebrew and other Semitic languages. We still have symbols in our alphabet that are similar to the ones of the runic alphabet.

Now a days runes are used in magical ways such as divination to predict the future or upcoming events but we must not forget that they were born way before our time, so far its ancient.”

Looking back down one last time to make sure everything was said then back to the professor.

''Thank you professor, for and entertaning class. I enjoyed it very much." she said as she stepped down from the podem and qietly exited the classroom.

Di nodded at Renesmee as the Hufflepuff stepped up to the podium. Bright child, that one. The Runes Professor made yet another note on her notebook at the end of the girl's speech.

"You've done a good job in Runes all year, Miss Cullen," she said pleasantly, once Renesmee had finished. "I hope to see you in my class again, next term."

"Thank you for allowing me the chance to address the class today.

I'd like to start at the very beginning and talk about the first rune in the Elder Futhark, the rune known as Fehu. Germanic in origin, the name Fehu translates to cattle, wealth and livestock. Cattle and livestock are very significant becausse back in the old days, many years ago, cows and animals of that type were used as a measure of how successful a person was in life. The people with the most power had the most cattle in those days, so we can understand how this this rune came to symbolized by Cattle.

Besides the representation of wealth and pros:perity which are associated with Fehu there are other interpretations as well. Such things as creativity and fertility are also looked at as a form of prosperity. So a person can meditate with Fehu not only hoping for an increase in money or an increase in their job perrformance, since there are so many other things they can meditate about. A young woman who wants to have a baby can use the rune to inspire fertility and increase her chances of getting pregnant, a writer can meditate with the rune to come out of a writer's block and find inspiration to write again, someone who works in the creative arts can use Fehu in a similar way to stimullate new ideas. This rune could even be used for meditation by fashion designers to help them design the fashion trend of the decade, for instance, or by a composer to write the record of the year. The possibilities are endless as long as creativity is involved.

Like all runes, it's a good idea to carry the rune with you on your person at all times, to increase its power and make it more effective. You never know where meditating with Fehu could lead you, perhaps even to the stars!

Thank you for listening, and may your possibilities be endlessss.
Rex wants to stay to hear a couple of morre speeches.

"Nicely spoken, Mr. Trigwell," Di said, nodding at the Gryffindor as he lingered back. She made another little note, and then laid down her quill, waiting for the next student to begin his or her speech.

The term sure had flown by.
