Ancient Runes Lesson 1
With a firm pencil held in one hand, Professor Clark kept tapping on his desk while he waited for students to arrive. "Class will start shortly, please take your seats" he murmurs as you walk in.

Woah. Ancient Runes. Ryan had tried this lesson once and it boggled his mind. He entered the class, saying a polite "hello" to Professor Clark, and took a seat toward the front of the room. Prime seating. YES!

Ancient Runes was one of those lessons that made your brain hurt due to too much thinking - but still, Clifford wandered into the classroom with a polite nod to Professor Clark.
Taking a seat behind the Ravenclaw Captain, Clifford pulled out his parchment and quill ready. Hopefully he wouldn't completely embarrass himself too much this lesson.

Ancient Runes is hard, but Jason comes to class anyway. "Hi, Professor Clark," he says.

"Hello boys" Fabian murmurs in response, stood up and loosened his tie before moving around to give each boy a small set of runes. "I'll try to make Runes easy and more fun for you" he exclaimed. "Lets start by telling me how much about Ancient Runes do you know?"

"I don't know a lot about them," Jason said slowly. "Just that they're a really old type of alphabet."

Clifford looked at the set of runes Clark gave him before raising his hand. "Runes are like a really old alphabet, Sir. I think they can be used to try and figure out the future and stuff."

How much about Runes did he know? Ryan raised his hand and said, "Well, to be perfectly honest, sir, all I know is that it's hard and I'm awful at trying to read them." 'Twas better to be honest than anything else.

"Runes are an ancient alphabet used to interpret ancient spells. They can also be used with Divination." Heath's hand shot up and answered the question the man asked. Runes wasn't really his favorite subject but he seemed to know a pretty good bit about it.

Cale raised his hand, "Well, I know it's some kind of ancient language type...thing," he answered. GAH. He was going to be rubbish at this class. "You have to translate them into modern english, I think."

Hitachi thought and raised his right hand. "Professor, to be frank I don't know anything about Ancient Runes except for the fact that the signs look weird and barbaric. Awkward indeed." He dropped his hand frowned.

"That's a good start" he croaked with a nod, "3 points to each of you. Indeed Runes are quit old germanic alphabets that are used for writing, divination, and magic. The Divination aspect is mostly used to know the future, but of course its not always true because the future is never fixed. Once you change a path, you alter the future with it" he smiled, "so I won't advice you seeking a woman's mind with those sets" he chuckled before waving his wand at the board revealing the Runic alphabets:
"Now inside each small box i gave you, you'll find those same pieces. They constitute Runic Alphabet. But before we start a fun little exercise can someone guess why Runes is used for magic as well? "

Why they're used for magic? Uhh......did it have something to do with the Druids? Ryan was just making things up on the spot, now. He had seen a Muggle show once, though, and there were glowing symbols that looked a lot like these little thingies, so he might as well say it. "Because they glow, sir?" he said raising his hand. He had no idea.

Hitachi stretched his right arm out and held it with his left. "Well, my guess would be that they can produce sorts of magic that we are not usually familiar with. And we as in young students. Of course I am sure there are plentiful masters out there, you included professor, who know well of runes." He laid down his arms back onto his desk about pulled out his Ancient Runes notebook. He'd have to do a lot of writing, no doubt.

"See Runes are used in Magic because they're believed to possess an ancient energy. In each letter is a different energy." Heath took a wild guess at the question asked. He wasn't really sure about it.

Cale raised his hand, "Does it have something to do with the fact that it's an old germanic alphabet?" he asked. "Like, some of the runes have the same roots and stems of spells and stuff?"

Clifford's head was already hurting, and his brow furrowed in concentration. Jeeez. Why did those rune things have such funny names? He had trouble trying to read normal words!
Why runes is used for magic?
He honestly had no idea --
"Because it's ... cool to use them in magic?" Bleh.

Will raised his hand. "They're thought to possess powers for insight and divination as well as the power to bring the dead back to life, such as when Odin used them in a spell in the Hávamál, sir. Also, rune means literally, "secret, something hidden"... which indicates their power for seeing and as divination tools."

Of all James's previous instruction in school Acient Runes were his weakness. He new almost nothing about them.
Professor Clark asked how runes related to magic.
An idea popped into his head. Not afraid to answer he raised his hand,
"They wouldn't be like the building blocks of spells would they, Sir?"

"Indeed they do" Fabian mused, "Two points for that answer even though it was a lucky guess. Don't worry about not knowing any of it yet, it needs time." Quote:

"That is exactly the answer I'm looking for, the language is so ancient that its charmed. Each letter possess its own quantity of magic when used via correct methods of magic casting, you can bring back what is dead or even control the living. Five points for your answer!" Quote:

"I'd use phenomenal" Fabian grinned down at the boy, "well its cool if you like power. One point for your answer" he winked at Clifford before addressing Will. Quote:

One wrong move and you'd most likely end up with something catastrophic or a temperamental pixie giving you hell on earth" his grin grew wider. "But yes, working with correct procedural methods would direct to magic incrementation. Three points for you answer".
"Now, if you don't have any question. We'll dedicate today's lesson to Runic castings and get everyone familiarized with the Runic alphabets and their meaning. Use your textbook as reference. I'd like for you to work in pairs, please. Grab a partner, take turns in casting runes and take an attempt in interpreting the readings".
"Remember, runic pieces work with the subconscious, find a clear area to work in. And make sure the question you ask is very clear before casting. I'll rotate around to answer your questions."

Working in pairs? Who should Ryan work with? He felt bad about not partnering up with James from the charms lesson a while ago, but he seemed a bit distracted. He turned to Cale and gave him one of those looks. "Partners?" he said.

James, would you like to partner up?" Jason asked. Can't believe Cale refused to team up with a Gryffindor like himself for more points than any other house. Nice prefect.

Ryan chuckled as Cale asked Ryan to partner up at the same time as Ryan himself had asled Cale if he wanted to partner up. "Sure thing, mate!" he said happily. Perhaps he could partner up with James during potions or something.
