The rune of protection, concealment, and opportunity? The professor meant, she actually had to try and remember which rune that was? "I think that is the algiz rune..." She wasn't quite sure, but she was positive that...well no, she wasn't quite sure. It could've been that, but then again, there were other runes that had a good chance of matching that description. Others said it so it must be true! "It's usually represented by the color of gold."
Too bad it wasn't silver.

"The rune of protection is called algiz or eohl and its colour is purple",Fee said,"it has two forms upright and upside down and besides that itsb the 15th rune."
Fee hoped that was right as she took a chocolate marshmallow.

The Rune of Protection, Concealment and Opportunity? Hmm, wasn't that... "The Rune of Algiz, I think." She didn't know much about it, except that it was the rune of protection, concealment and opportunity. *teehee*

"The rune algiz is associated with Heimdall who is a mysterious figure in Norse mythology because of his role as protector and guardian." Branwen said shyly.

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna "The rune of protection and opportunity is the Algiz, sometimes Elhaz rune," SImon answered finally getting one in. "Its associated with the modern day letter z, though pronounced yr," he added remembering a fact not already mentioned.

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Josephina sat quietly on the log near her colleague, observing the Runes game she was playing with the students. The students seemed to be having fun and enjoying it, which she had to give Di credit. Runes was always one of the toughest subjects to get students engaged in, after all. Runes and well . . . the subject that she taught actually.
Staring into the blazing fire, her hazel eyes glanced away only upon distantly hearing last question of the challenge. What time was it? How long had she been sitting there looking like a statue, eyes glued to flames? Opportunity . . . she could say a thing or two about that. Yet the exercise was for the students; so why had she agreed to stay for awhile? Oh well, she needed this kind of a break . . .

Oooh. Last question.
Too bad that yet again, Iris was drawn to a blank. GAH. Iris blamed the marshmallows. They made her lose her train of thought... and knowlege.
Thinking HARD, Iris tried to come up with a serious answer. (Because in all honesty, she wanted to say that it was good for protecting and hiding things, but she figured that was pretty immature for a prefect.) So instead, she just listened to all the other kids. And made mental notes.
Because mental notes were awesome. |

| Raspberry Jam | #ChocolateFrogFamous | Ultimate Fangirl Last question, hmmm. A toughy, but Ella felt as if she kind of knew it.
"Is it.. Algiz?" She would add with more stuff about what it meant and what is was associated with, but the name was the only thing she could think of.
And she wasn't even sure if THAT was right.

Oh, and time up.
"Right. Time to pitch your tents up, guys," Di said, as she set down the last layer of logs - two inches wide, two-ish feet long - and used her wand to start a huge, orange-red fire. Then she set down a few baskets. "Gather round, gather round the fire. Pass on the marshmallows and s'mores."
Okay.
"We're going to play a game. It's called 'The Refresh Your Basic Knowledge of Runes House Challenge.'" She smiled, slightly. Slightly. "I'm going to either name or hold up a rune. Each of you can state one thing about that rune. It can be the rune's different names - most runes do have a couple; its meanings; things it represents or is connected to; your interpretation of it - anything purely related to that particular rune. Each correct statement wins your house a point. House points to the house that has the most points, at the end of the game."
She waited a few minutes, giving everyone time to settle down. Then she cleared her throat. "Alright. The first rune is... Fehu." OOC Rules of the game:
[] Davina will either give the name of a rune, or hold it up.
[] One fact per answer. You may state one of the rune's names, one of its meanings, one of the things it represents. In general, only one fact about the rune. That gives everyone a chance to share something new. But if you feel everything relevant has already been said, you may repeat an answer. ^___^
[] Each student represents his or her house.
[] Each valid answer means one 'point' to the house of the person who has given the answer.
[] The first person to identify a rune gets two points for his or her house.
[] The house with the most points, wins. Please note that the fire the students are going to gather round is charmed. It's not going to hurt anybody. It can be used to roast marshmallows, though. ^___^ Anna raised her hand. "It represents wealth."

Di wondered if Fina would want to stay. Camp out. They could get to know each other. If Fina agreed, of course. Quote:

"The rune algiz is shaped like the antlers of an elk or a grass herb - hence its connection to and representation by both. It depicts opportunities, resultant successes, sanctuary, protection and rapid advancement and progress."
Di stopped speaking and tapped the chalkboard one last time to cause the final scores to appear on it. Quote: Points Chalkboard: Slytherin: 45 Ravenclaw: 29 Gryffindor: 24 Hufflepuff: 7 "Looks like we have a winner," Di said, the moment the numbers had changed. "Slytherin wins the House Challenge. That's ten additional house points for the Snakes. But you all did a great job."
Di nodded, almost to herself, and then shifted her gaze back to the students. "I named and showed you a number of runes, right now. Can anyone tell me what was common in all of them? Excluding the Chocolate Rune, of course." She smiled slightly. |

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Looks like Slytherin won another class competition, Simon mused with a small sigh. before changing his attention to a marshmellow he was cooking as he moved it from the fire. At the professor's next question, he had to think of a good answer for what they had in common. "Is it that they are all from the "Elder Futhark" the runic alphabet which is a composite of the runic symbols most commonly used in northern Europe?" he answered questionly.

Iris GRINNED happily. The Snakes seemed to be winning a lot of the class games, didn't they?
She sat and thought about the question at hand. Raising her hand slightly, Iris spoke up. "Um... Is the common factor that they're all part of the same rune family?" Iris wasn't entirely sure... but it was worth the guess, afterall.

"The runes discussed in the house challenge, all belong to the Elder Futhark - the most common runic alphabet. These are the runes that a student is bound to come across most often at this level, and the runes that this lesson is about."
"In the Runes classroom in the castle, Miss Flores-Shepard -" she looked at the pesky!intelligent child - "Mentioned how runes are used in jewellery. This is not always for the purpose of ornamentation. Runes can make for beautiful pendants and bracelets, but do you think there can be other reasons that people first began to wear runes?" OOC: Be creative, if you want to. Don't not answer because you think it isn't the right answer. Remember, out-of-the-box answers are GOOD and appreciated. I'm heading offline for now. The lesson should resume in five to six hours. Have fun. Once again, chatting between characters is okay in small amounts.  |

Adeline qickly scribbled that down and said "Maybe for commuicating to each other, Or maybe because the rune meant something to them or maybe they just thought they were pretty!" she said. She liked runes. Good thing she took a chance!

Hogwarts RPG Name: Wisteria Hartly *Witsy* Fifth Year | Witsy was becoming distracted. She thought being a first year it would all be fun and she was having fun, but didn't think too much on the work side. She was going over all the homework she had put off and now she was already slacking in Ancient Runes. She overheard some of the students giving off responses to what they thought the answer was and Witsy started thinking about the alphabet, fehu, uruz, thorn and something, she started fidgeting with a marshmallow she hadn't quite roasted yet. She raised her, pretty sure it was the Elder Futhark. |
