He listened more willingly now, that it had draw his attention. He had a question, a vital yet a stupid one. Raising his hand hesitantly, he asked "How... do you read... runes?" He didn't know! The pureblood Cartwright didn't know! Unbelieveble. He blushed and quickly sat down. Luckily, he was at the back, and people couldn't keep staring at him for a long time.

"Um, professor," Tibi raised his hand, "Will we be talking about the meanings of these runes? I'm not seeing much explanation in my text." Tibi frowned. Was it not in the book? Tibi didn't do well when things weren't in books. "And... um, will we be doing rune-readings in class?"

Tibi scratched his head with one hand, while the other clutched his fork.

Mmm. CAKE.

However...Ancient Runes sounded very much like it was about the here and now, and that was something he could grasp. It had him vaguely intrigued, even, though he wasn't sure why.

So the scrawny redhead remained hunkered at the back of the class, listening with a frown of intense concentration.

She wiped a smudge of cake off of her nose and almost tucked an errant piece of hair behind her ear stopping just in time to realize that her hands also had sticky chocolate goodness on them. Maybe if she thought of another question Professor Lupa would be nice enough to conjure up a napkin.

Raising her hand she asked, "Is there a lot of possibility for error while doing a reading using Runes, Professor?" Then casting her eyes down and then in a quieter voice she asked, "Could I possibly have a napkin or be excused to wash my hands? I'm a bit messy when chocolate this good is involved."

In fact, Jake had a beady look in his eyes and was about to pounce on the cake, knowing full well that the chocolate would make him sick, but not really caring. Upon being asked if there were questions, Jake realised he was in fact in a lesson, and blinked around at the others, before saying to himself, though maybe not as quiet as he'd hoped, 'Can we eat the cake without a fork?"

HE WANTED CAKE!!11!!11!!1!!1ONE!1!

What lesson was he in?

"Just one question: I'm a little confused about the relationship between runes and the past, present and future. So, if we have a question about the past or the future, the rune will guide us, but not tell us what will happen or... How does it exactly work?" She was little lost there and the fact that she had to be writing down to fast didn't help to keep Eva focus on everything she was hearing and to memorize and apply later.

After checking her office and finding it empty, he belatedly realised that she was running a class at the moment. Hmm...perhaps he should wait for this class to finish and just as he was turning to head back to his own office, he smelt the chocolate wafting into the corridor.

His mouth literally began to water and he approached the classroom door as if in a trance. Opening the door as quietly as he could, Marcus slipped inside the room and inched his way slowly towards the delicious smell.

K really hoped she got it right this time for she wanted to help her fellow Slytherins for she was so proud to be one herself.

When you read them you will read from right to left, not left to right like a book. The first one you read, the farthest right one will be the past. The middle rune will be the present. And obviously the last and left rune will be the future." the Prefect finished. Chris then thought of a question. "Professor will this meathod work for any question?"

I think it represents zero because it can make it self invisible...maybe?" Err lets hope some of this was correct.

"Maybe it's related to zero because since it turns invisible, it would have the appearance that there was nothing there, and since zero technically means...nothing, then it would...make sense." 'That probably made no sense.' Evelyn thought, staring at the rune in her book.

Marcus raised his eyebrow at the young Slytherin and then looked at her cake. Maybe he should ask Less, that if the kid's got the questions wrong then could he have their cake? Might spur them into getting the questions right, of course that would mean he wouldn't get any cake unless they were all as nice as Miss Wright.

Giving Alessia a wink, Marcus propped his feet up onto her desk and placed his hands behind his head as he watched her in action. No point him offering his class anything sweet, he would probably eat it all before class started anyway.

"It is from the Far East but im not sure what it could mean I would guess that if you find it it means that you can become invisible because the hair as it says in the text book shows that its woven into invisibility cloaks" Trying to find a meaning was hard but hey at least she tried at it.
