Ancient Runes Lesson 1 - Ehwaz Harmony and Teamwork
Though chilly, it is a beautiful first day of December. Snow gently falls from the morning sky as you make your way out onto the grounds minutes before 10 o'clock, the ground crunching beneath your feet and your breath visible with each exhale. Whether feeling ecstatic about being out in the fresh air or melancholy about having to leave the warmth of the castle, hopefully you dressed up properly for today's Ancient Runes (yes, you read that notice right) lesson. Not dressing in full winter gear would have made the trek to the creature barn quite miserable.
After entering the snow-covered barn, a stark change in temperature immediately overpowers you as your cheeks redden and your eyes adjust to the change of light. The heat present in the building tempts you to shed off your coat like a basilisk would its skin, but then your eyes fall upon the headmistress standing just outside an open doorway at the end of the barn that leads out to the fenced pasture. Various noises, high and low, fill your ears as you make your way past the stalls and pens to get to where the woman is standing.
With the sounds of the creatures alerting her of your presence, Headmistress Hawthorne turns her head slightly and offers you a small smile. Beside her stands a horse, an Aethonan, though that is just a minute detail as there are other breeds of horses behind them. As you get closer, the chestnut horse lifts its hooves as if it wants to step backward. The headmistress, however, quietly whispers to the horse, causing something hanging around her neck to emit a soft white glow, and begins petting the horse after it brushes its head against her hand.
In the background, a number of long faces stare directly at you and your peers for a moment as if they are determining something about the group. After seemingly making their decision, they lead the rest of the herd -- consisting of Granians, Thestrals, more Aethonans, and even a few Abraxans -- swiftly to the farthest corners of the pasture.
OOC: Take note that this is NOT the first Ancient Runes lesson your character has had with the headmistress this term. Also, please familiarize yourself with the Ancient Runes and SnitchSeeker rules before posting. The lesson will continue in roughly 24 hours. The lesson has started. Feel free to jump in!

Maybe it had been the rune pendants, but a little voice in Stasya’s head told her that it wasn’t just that. The mama unicorn and her baby trusted them. They’d even been inching closer, and she had been ready to reach out to pet them. After making sure it was okay, though, like she’d done with Cygnus back in the pasture before she’d ridden him to the edge of the forest. With Noelle, of course, but right now she was way more focused on the unicorns than she was the prefect standing by her. She wanted the unicorns to trust her.
But then reality struck, and one of the other groups from the lesson who had gotten further than they had managed to cut down their Christmas tree and the noise startled the poor unicorns and they had disappeared into the trees again and the small blonde’s face had fallen. All that anticipation and she hadn’t managed to achieve her goal. Of course, now she had a new goal. Making sure the unicorns weren’t traumatized. It was important.
She’d heard Noelle call after the unicorns, but she hardly acknowledged it as her grey-green eyes had just stared disappointedly after them. She had turned to look at her when the older Gryffindor had suddenly gone back to their earlier discussion, but she barely felt any excitement over guessing the spell right. They still had to get their tree though, so she tried to shove her unicorn thoughts to the back of her mind so she could focus on trying the charm. Okay.
Pointing her wand at the base of the tree like Noelle had done, she tried to focus on what she wanted to do as she said the spell with her. “Diffindo!”
Hopefully they’d manage to get their tree back, and then she could figure out how she could find the unicorns again.

The unicorns were still in her brain, ideas dancing around in her head about them. Noelle really wished she could go after them. But she was in class. That would have to be another adventure.
Shaking out the thoughts in her head, Noelle concentrated on the job at hand. Diffindo had worked. The tree fell. "Good job Stasya!!" She said, trying to bring the girl back to the present. She could tell she was distracted. "'m sure the unicorns are okay." She said encouragingly.
Holding her wand out, she pointed it at the tree. "Incarcerous" She said watching ropes comes from her wand and bind up the tree. "Let's get our tree back to the group, yeah?" She asked, giving her a smile. She knew it wasnt as exciting as going after the unicorns, but the Headmistress wasn't too far away. Going into the forest now wasnt a good idea. "How about you ride and lead Cygnus back to the group?" She asked looking down at her as she tied the ropes to Cygnus.

With all the commotion going on, considering a few trees had been dropping left and right, a duo of nifflers made their way to the edges of the forest. They knew why trees were falling. Humans. Possibly humans with shinies!
Going their own ways they approached two of the humans, sniffing like crazy. One climbed up the younger one, whereas the other rolled over beside the chanting girl looking cute. Did they have anything they wanted to donate to the niffler cause?
*SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF*
They wanted shinies!
The first year had just been about to follow Miss Ava's directions to go back when she felt a creature climbing up her! She felt four little paws with tiny claws on her legs anyway, and looked down in momentary confusion.
IT WAS A NIFFLER! Nifflers were her absolute favorite creatures EVER! She never passed up a chance to play with the ones in the barn. This forest was the best!
When the niffler had climbed high enough, she picked him up (if he'd let her) and tried to cuddle him against her shoulder. "Hiii, cutie!" She made a sort of perch out of one arm so that the niffler could cuddle against her chest/shoulder if he wanted, and reached out slowly to pet him with her other hand. She wouldn't do that if he got scared, though.
Of course he wanted shiny things, and fortunately for Emmeline, the only shiny thing she was wearing was the tiiiiny bit of silver that held her winter cloak attached. She doubted he'd be able to get it undone, though, because Nanny had placed lots of strengthening charms on it before she'd left for school in September because Nanny knew how much the eleven-year-old liked to play with creatures of all sorts.
She may have seen some green sparks out of the corner of her eye, but the Gryffindor's sole attention was for the niffler. Could he stay with her forever please? To do that, though..
The first year pulled a small, plain brown sack out of her pocket with the hand she'd been petting him with. Manuevering her hands carefully so as not to dislodge him, she pulled out an extra shiny knut from the sack. She had a bunch of random shiny things in there for her trips to the barn, and the knut had been polished to a glimmering shine. He wouldn't have to search too hard for it, because she pretty much just handed it over to him. "Here, buddy, d'you want a shiny?', she cooed at him. This was the best lesson ever!!

At first it was a rush on the ground but soon enough Corena gained her wings and all at once they were airborne. “WoaH!” Cass let out in mild surprise before chuckling and revealing all was well with her to her mount. Not that she didn’t doubt their connection likely already shared it. Up they went above the trees so they could have a look at their choices, well her choices, from above. The Ravenclaw kept a good hold as she leaned ever so slightly over the sides of the Granian’s flanks for a better look, trying to decipher what would be best to look for.
Finally, she pointed to a spot that appeared as good as any for them to land and retrieve a tree. “There…” Cassie said aloud but the winged horse already seemed to get the message between her words and movements atop her back. Before long Corena’s powerful hooves touched solid ground once more and the fifth year took a few deep breathes to recover. She then hopped down and surveyed the trees in the immediate area, her gaze eventually setting on one off to the left of where they had landed.
Now to go about getting it down.
“Diffindo…” she cast once her wand was out, aiming to make the first cut to the base. The girl doing her best to plot out how to work to get it to fall right. She certainly didn’t want either herself or the Granian to get hurt in the process.

She could tell that Noelle was trying to distract her. Stasya did understand that, but it was unicorns. It wasn’t that easy to get them out of her head, nor was it easy for her to forget her crushing disappointment that someone had scared them off before she’d gotten to touch one. To pet them and make sure they knew she wasn’t a danger to them. Luckily for her, though, she wasn’t standing in the path of the falling tree, as their tree had in fact actually tipped over and crashed to the ground.
She had jumped a little at the sound and the vibration from said tree, finally looking over at Noelle again. “You think so?,” she asked softly, bypassing the praise because her thoughts were still on the unicorns no matter how hard the older girl tried to get her mind off them. She was nearly decided to ask someone if she could go back into the forest to check on the creatures, but she wasn’t sure if it would be better to ask the headmistress or to wait and go see Professor Wayland after the lesson. The lesson she ought to be more focused on, but she didn’t want to anymore.
“Okay,” she said simply, returning to Cygnus’ side and climbing onto his back again even as the prefect had gotten the tree bound up and tied to the Granian’s back. “But what about you?” Was she going to walk, or was she staying behind? She wasn’t really sure which option she thought was better.

As she was stroking the horse, she noticed out of her periphery that her classmates were already way ahead of the game, which meant she would be left to her own devices on cutting down and bringing back a tree. Ah well, she had the trust of Rose, it seemed, and she was mostly competent with her spellwork at least up until this point in her magical education.
"Okay, Rose, Time to go," she spoke quietly, as she pulled herself up onto the winged horse. It was just like flying a broom, except on a flying creature instead. Smiling as she allowed the wind to flow through her hair, she realized again why she enjoyed flying and how much she missed it when she wasn't partaking in the activity. Yes it was cold and the pastures were snow covered, but the warming sensation in heart from the passion of an activity she enjoyed, was well worth it.
Guess it was time to pick a tree. Squinting at the choices, she found a tree with quite large branches. Branches that when stood upright instead of the horizontal way they were presently on the tree, could easily pass for being a tree of its own. Without actually killing a tree. "Diffindo," she said swiftly, her wand aimed at where the branch met with the trunk and the branch sliced cleanly off. Except, one issue. The crash. From when it fell to the ground.
Scanning it, it seemed fortunately mostly unscathed, and upon seeing the green sparks from the Headmistress figured it was no time to waste in getting another one. "Carpe retractum" she cast, allowing her wand to form an invisible rope to pull the branch behind her. "Come on Rose. Let's go."
At that, the horse took off back towards the barn where they left from and landed swiftly in time to hear the woman give off instructions. After depositing the branch!tree where designated, she then dismounted Rose inside the fenced area. "Thank you," she pressed her lips to its side. Precious horse, this one was.
Listening as the headmistress closed the lesson, she blinked thoughtfully. What did she learn? How could she use Ehwaz in the future? Wouldn't she need a horse to use it in the future? She hadn't worked with anyone except the creature, so she couldn't apply the teamwork example to her classmates, and yet .... "I think Ehwaz could be used in future endeavors, because it helps to create that," she hesitated a moment, thinking of her words. "bond with species that are not ourselves. Yes, we can all related to each other, because we're all human and speak the same language, but to be able to connect to something that doesn't speak our language, well, that's magic."

Beady eyes followed the knut as it was thrown in the air. Instinct told it to chase after it, and so it did. Sniff, sniff, sniff. Be right back. Looking for that coin now. It would come back after getting the coin if the girl was still there.
See? It worked!
As the niffler chased the knut that she had tossed away, Ava then mounted on the horse, chanting the galdr and asked Perseus to take off already because the headmistress had been waiting for her (and also the tree) "Let's go, buddy!" She said and took off, heading back to the barn. Again, be thankful for the runic pendant because the horse became more obedient and not really difficult to handle.

Smiles was given their way, impressed with the techniques that they used to transport the tree from where they found it to the barn. Feather-light charms, shrinking charms, and locomotion charms were cleverly utilized.
With the arrival of each student, she internally listed them off in her head. Cambridge, Harrington, Morrison...
"Please leave the trees along the fence over there," Regina stated, pointing in the general direction near the gate on the outer part of the fence. She would get Wayland and Baldvinsson to help her bring them up to the castle later. "Once you have deposited your tree, go ahead and bring the horses back inside the fence and dismount. Make sure you thank them for their assistance before gathering around me."
A few minutes went by to give them all time to get everything where it needed to be. She stood there, waiting patiently, with watchful eyes. Philippe whinnied and his head against her, resulting in him getting more pets and even a carrot to munch on.
"To bring our lesson to a close," the headmistress spoke once everyone was ready, "I have a set of questions for each of you to answer. Today you all invoked the energy of Ehwaz to form bonds with horses and then encourage teamwork to successfully bring back a tree that will be used to decorate the castle. It is my hope that this lesson has helped you develop a deeper understanding of Ehwaz. At this time, I would like for you all to respond to these questions: What was something you learned during class today? How can you personally use Ehwaz in the future? Please provide specific examples in your responses."
OOC: We are at the final part of our lesson! Please feel free to wrap up wherever you are at with the main activity and then respond to Regina's questions. The lesson will conclude in roughly 24 hours.
As she and Perseus landed on the barn, The Gryffindor heard Hawthorne's instruction about the tree. She non-verbally cast severing charm to cut the ropes that tied the tree on the horse. "Locomotor tree." And delivered the it over the fence. Once she finished dealing with the tree, Ava pet the horse and stroked its mane. She really had so much fun with this assignment. "Till we meet again, Perseus." She whispered and back to the lesson.
She raised her hand and tried to answer the question. "Well, based on what I have experience today, Headmistress, Ehwaz helped very much to create the bond with the horses and makes it easier to fulfil the assignment. And in the future, I think the rune can help me to communicate and gain some trust on some people." Which is cool, you know? Ava thought for using this rune to help her talking with her mother but she'd rather not to mention about this as the example.

gnomes, kitty, & headmistress...OH MY!
astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf
Well he KNEW that. He just did not think that using a spell on the gnome was justifiable since HE had been the one to provoke the attack. It was liiiiiiilke...putting your hand on a hot frying pan to test the heat and then getting mad at the fire for being hot. It made sense in the second year's head, okay?
But he couldn't really SAY anything because of the Freezing Charm. His eyes could sort of follow the gnome as it jumped to the ground and took a handful of worms. HOPEFULLY that was enough to earn the Hufflepuff some favor with the beast. He really WAS sorry.
His eyes were also watering because his shoulder REALLY hurt and he could tell that his shirt was sticking to his skin a little bit because of something wet. Saliva, he imagined, and probably a little blood...but it was hard to focus because it STUNG. Which meant.........hewasgoingtogoseethatHealer.
NOOOOOOOO----- oh no wait. HE WAS HEALED! But once again, Derf was unable to say anything to the Ravenclaw prefect - not even a thank you for healing his shoulder! - and everyone was leaving.
Everyone.
Kitty had even cut down the tree he had been painstakingly digging up by hand.
And there he was. A small little Hufflepuff frozen at the edge of the forest.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuummm...
Well no, not EVERYONE because Ambrosia was staying by his side. Maybe...he should...could this amulet help him communicate telepathically with the winged horse? He really didn't have much of a choice at the moment with everyone gathered around the Headmistress answering a question that he could not hear. Flicking his blue eyes towards the Abraxan's red ones,
he tried super SUPER hard to communicate with her to pleeeeeease do something to draw attention to his small frame.
To his glee, the abraxan rose up on her hind legs and stretched her wings out wide while whining LOUDLY on his behalf.
Someone please come unfreeze him? #SaveDerf

Once Etta had returned to the barn, she placed the log of tree-wood by the fence before leading her horse inside. She was growing really fond of Aurora with every second and she wondered if she could still occasionally see her afterwards.. whether the Headmistress would allow it. She reminded herself to ask her later. It was time for goodbye.. for now. She turned towards Aurora, stroking her back a few more times. "Hey, there. Thank you. I'll see you soon, yeah?" She gave the winged horse a soft smile and a quick peck. Did the Headmistress notice that? Hopefully not. She continued petting it a few more seconds before joining the group of students gathered around the professor.
"I learned that companionship and trust between companions is very important. If my horse, Aurora and I didn't have the mutual understanding, we wouldn't have been able to complete the task.. right? And I think.. this logic applies to any two companions. Be it two people.. or two horses. As long as there is a partnership, almost anything can be achieved. Ehwaz is used to create that trust, right? To create a bond of sorts with someone? So if I had to use it.. um.. maybe trying to connect with a person you wouldn't get usually along with? Is that even possible?
Etta wasn't sure if that was actually.. possible but why not find out, you know?
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
And just like that, the lesson was over. She would have to say goodbye to her winged friend until such a time that she visited the stables later on. Given how busy the next week was going to be for her, Jessa had no real hope of that happening any time soon.
The Ravenclaw patted her riding buddy along his neck once more before any attempts were made at answering the questions posed. "I learned that it's probably a whole lot easier cutting a tree down when there's more than one person casting diffindo at it." Hindsight, y'know? They always said it was 20/20. This wasn't to say Jessa regretted going it alone; it was merely an observation.
"And now that I think about it, maybe ehwaz would have been useful in getting the tree back here. It's good for transportation afterall." Again with the hindsight. Of course her plan still worked perfectly and the tree was delivered no problem but now she was thinking the Headmistress would have known she grasped the concept better if she'd used the rune like that.
Ugh, next time for sure.

So Skylar had just been standing around waiting for the Headmistress to officially dismiss the lesson, as it was nearing a close, when she heard it. It was vague, due to the distance, but do the distance, she was sure it wasn't her imagination. Loud whining. A horse's whining. Someone was in trouble. She glanced around at those in class to see if she could spot someone missing, someone who had been there before, but wasn't there now, when she realized it ... because how could she NOT realize the familiar blond head of a second year hufflepuff was missing.
"Derf's missing," she said automatically, and without waiting she re-entered the fenced area, clutching her pendant around her neck, she approached Rose again, who hadn't wandered too far off. "Ehwo ehwo ehwo, e e e e h w o o o, ehwu ehwa ehwi ehwe ehwo, ehwo ehwe ehwi ehwa ehwu, e e e e h w o o o." she chanted, to re-activate the rune, the pendant glowing the familiar shade of white as it had before, probably because it wasn't all too long ago.
Mounting the horse again, she flew off back towards the forest edge, in search of the whining, which didn't seem to take too long as there was only one horse present. And one small child. Her heart pounding, when saw him, immobilized. "Derf," she whispered, the horse beneath her sensing where to go and landed beside Ambrosia.
He was hurt.
"Finite incantatem," she cast, unsure if he was hurt or struck by a charm, but at least it would end the magic. Kneeling beside him, she whispered, "Do you need me to help you onto the horse?" She wasn't much bigger or stronger than him, but maybe the magic evoked within the rune would allow the horse to move lower to the ground and with her support, she could aid him onto the horse's back. And she would obviously ride with him.
She just needed him to make some sort of indication. Hopefully.

Landing and sliding off the Aethonian, Felicity hurried over to the fence and dropped her tree along with the others. She didn't, however, undo the charms she'd placed upon it, for surely it would be easier for the staff to move them if it remained lighter and smaller than, you know, it actually was? She was kind of annoyed that her feather-light charm hadn't worked exactly, and massaged her shoulder with her other hand for a moment to release the tension that holding onto the tree during the flight had caused, before moving back to where her Headmistress stood, in time for the questions.
"As a very personal use, Professor," Felicity said, raising a hand. "I've been given a Winged-Horse myself to look after, by Professor Wayland. I'd like to use the Rune to further my bonding with her, so I can look after her in a more understanding way." So that was particularly personal to her, but she was sure that a lot of her fellow students would agree.

So he did take down that small spruce-- may be too quaint for the Great Hall but certainly just right for a Professor's waiting area. They made short work of it this lumberjack task and it wasnt long before he was flying the tree with his Abraxan and laying it gently near the fenced area as the Headmistress instructed. "Easy does it.... ata girl!"
And now he was on his way back to where the Professor called for them. Was there anything he learned about today? "Ehwaz is all about partnership, but I think we'd be a fool to think that Wizards always take the lead on this." like his Abraxan lil lady clearly was the lead today. He was just hired help. As for personally using Ehwaz in the future... "Perhaps invoking Ehwaz would be helpful in a large team project?"

Lincoln landed a little ways outside the barn, allowing Kitty to shakily dismount him. "Thank you Lincoln," she said, hugging the Granian around the neck. "I'll come visit you later, k?" Then, taking the two feet tall tree from the ground 9where he'd dropped it upon landing), she made her way towards the others and leaned her tree up against the fence. It was super small compared to most of the others, but that was okay.
When she was back in the group, she raised her hand and voiced what was plaguing her conscience: "Professor Headmistress, I think you should know that while we were out gathering trees, I stumbled into Derf. He was attacked by a gnome and I tried to save him by stunning the gnome, but the spell hit him accidentally. The gnome bit his shoulder pretty hard, but I cured him and helped him cut down another tree. He was still stunned when I left, but I think that spell will wear off after a few moments - he's probably already coming back."
And she learned lots of things in this lesson. "I learned that I'm not as afraid of flying as I thought I was. Before today I'd never flown on anything, not even a broom. Also, even though I already knew this from reading, I got to see firsthand how powerful the connection between Ehwaz and animals is. Also..." Here she paused and allowed a measure of guilt to come into her expression. "I learned that's it's dumb to leave someone immobilized after accidentally immobilizing them. I should have waited to make sure it was going to wear off right away."

The first cut made its mark but it was far from the last stroke needed to fell the tree. “Diffindo!” Cassie repeated, the spell echoing as she cast it a few more time at different angles and intervals to get all the way through. Finally, it moved almost in slow motion, the Gryffindor scurrying backwards unnecessarily as if concerned despite her actions to try and prevent getting a tree down on top of her. “Arresto Momentum!” she cast as a late added thought, slowing its descent. She and Corena were still very much safe and it hadn’t been damaged in the process.
Now to get it back to the meeting point where the headmistress was waiting for them. Cass debated her options on how to bring the tree with them, hoping for not too much headache in the process. The first thing she realized was it was best for her to get back on her ride before even beginning to cast what she needed. “Shall we get back then, Corena?” the fifth year asked rhetorically, getting a playful toss of her head from the Granian as Cass climbed on.
Then after staring at the tree for a few more moment, she raised her wand once more and took aim. "Incarcerous..." she cast, watching as the magical ropes tied the tree up. "Now Corena...go!" The winged horses paused for but a moment as if waking up before unfurling her wings once more and going into a run. Cassie took a tight grip with her one hand while the other grasped her wand tightly keeping the spell in place. Once they were airborne, the duo dragged a long the tree in the air with them, eventually landing carefully with their prize.

"And personally, I would use Ehwaz in terms of teamwork, like for an activity similar to what we just had or for strengthened camaraderie among house mates to be able to win the House Cup. Two or more heads are better than one." The Slytherin looked at her partner, Olivia, and gave her a thumbs up because they had totally did well on the teamwork aspect of the lesson. Also, yes... House Cup. She still wanted it.
The woman quietly nodded her head when Vivian gave her answer, pleased that she had learned the trust not only applied from one human to another but extended to animals as well. "Very good, Miss Fairfield."
As for her answer to her second question, the headmistress had this to say, "Yes, Ehwaz would certainly help promote teamwork among others to accomplish a certain goal." In regards to her 'an activity similar to what we just had comment,' Regina would have liked for the girl to provide a more concrete example, but she let the girl continue on anyway. Ahh, the House Cup? Interesting. "While using Ehwaz may not guarantee a win for Slytherin, you can rest assured that using Ehwaz will definitely strengthen the bonds of you and your fellow housemates, which is important when everyone needs to work together as a unified force to get to that desired goal."

She went for a muggle example because that was the best she could think of. Finally, she finished with, "I think Ehwaz can help us even with learning how to work with people who are not like us. You learn their strengths and weaknesses and they learn yours."
Her eyes then flicked over to Olivia, who focused on the partnership aspect of Ehwaz and how it helpful it would be in completing a task. She nodded approvingly at the horse and jockey example, a great metaphor at how Ehwaz represented the bond between two individual, yet harmonious, beings.
"Ehwaz can help us learn how to work better with others who are not like us. We are all different and go about things differently, so utilizing Ehwaz gives us the opportunity to see that though guide us on the path to swiftly work toward a common goal." Though how was she going to use the rune? Was there anything specific? Time, she supposed, would tell.

"I think Ehwaz could be used in future endeavors, because it helps to create that," she hesitated a moment, thinking of her words. "bond with species that are not ourselves. Yes, we can all related to each other, because we're all human and speak the same language, but to be able to connect to something that doesn't speak our language, well, that's magic."
Regina paused for a moment to think over Skylar's words. Initially, the headmistress wanted to ask for more specifics. What sort of 'future endeavors' could Ehwaz be used in? There were endless examples and scenarios that could have been chosen, even ones that didn't involve horses. An eyebrow rose, a sign for the girl to explain in more detail if she wished to do so.
"Indeed, Miss Diggory, it certainly is magical."

Ava thought for using this rune to help her talking with her mother but she'd rather not to mention about this as the example.

Ehwaz is used to create that trust, right? To create a bond of sorts with someone? So if I had to use it.. um.. maybe trying to connect with a person you wouldn't get usually along with? Is that even possible?
Etta wasn't sure if that was actually.. possible but why not find out, you know?
The headmistress nodded at both of their responses. Yes, developing a bond of trust was important to developing a mutual understanding to complete a common goal. "Very true, ladies," she stated simply. Though the next set of words that came out of both of their mouths made her pause for a moment. Using Ehwaz with those that were willing to co-operate was much easier than the opposite.
"Do keep in mind that Ehwaz is not a rune of force, Miss Burton and Miss Kramer. It is one of persuasion and suggestion, promoting trust and harmonious teamwork. If you invoke the rune in an effort to build a bond with someone that you do not necessarily get along with, it will take some time for that bond to build. Like the old No-Maj idiom says, 'Rome wasn't built in a day,' neither is a bond between two people that are not on the best of terms. Nonetheless, a web of one-on-one connections will develop over time as the energies of Ehwaz work to spark and facilitate a harmonious emotional and intellectual partnership."

This wasn't to say Jessa regretted going it alone; it was merely an observation.
"And now that I think about it, maybe ehwaz would have been useful in getting the tree back here. It's good for transportation afterall." Again with the hindsight. Of course her plan still worked perfectly and the tree was delivered no problem but now she was thinking the Headmistress would have known she grasped the concept better if she'd used the rune like that.
Ugh, next time for sure.
A small smile played on the headmistress's lips when Jessa revealed what she had gotten out of today's lesson. It was easier cutting down a tree with the help of others, hence the whole teamwork aspect of Ehwaz. And the rune certainly would have made transporting the tree much easier, though her method had been effective. The Ehwaz galdr would have come in handy at that moment.
"And how would you, personally, use Ehwaz, Miss Cambridge?" It didn't need to be connected to the lesson activity they had completed today.

So that was particularly personal to her, but she was sure that a lot of her fellow students would agree.
Felicity was the next to answer. To the headmistress, it was clear that this particular lesson was going to be very helpful with the girl's extra credit assignment for Care of Magical Creatures. "I'm glad that this lesson and its exact activity will come in handy for you, Miss Harrington. It will certainly help you continue in forming a strong bond with the winged horse assigned to you," she said with a genuine smile.
She hoped that the girl included a mention of using the rune when she wrote about her interactions with the horse. The woman was positive that many great leaps were to occur if Ehwaz was used to build that connection.

As for personally using Ehwaz in the future... "Perhaps invoking Ehwaz would be helpful in a large team project?"
When Tenacius gave his response, Regina tilted her head slightly. Ehwaz was about partnership ... yet it would be foolish to think that wizards always took the lead? His words were interesting. Though perhaps this line of thought was something she overlooked as, with Ehwaz, it was all about balance. "Thank you, Mr. Salander. Concerning Ehwaz, it is important to remember that idea of a partnership. It is co-operative, meaning that there is no one 'taking the lead' as it brings forth true teamwork that causes individuals to work as a whole to achieve or do something."
As for his answer (though it seemed more like a question to her) for the next response, she nodded her head encouragingly. Did he have anything to add? After all, she had asked for specifics.

The gnome bit his shoulder pretty hard, but I cured him and helped him cut down another tree. He was still stunned when I left, but I think that spell will wear off after a few moments - he's probably already coming back."
And she learned lots of things in this lesson. "I learned that I'm not as afraid of flying as I thought I was. Before today I'd never flown on anything, not even a broom. Also, even though I already knew this from reading, I got to see firsthand how powerful the connection between Ehwaz and animals is. Also..." Here she paused and allowed a measure of guilt to come into her expression. "I learned that's it's dumb to leave someone immobilized after accidentally immobilizing them. I should have waited to make sure it was going to wear off right away."
... The Ravenclaw prefect did what?!
Hundreds of thoughts were running through her mind. Why did a prefect leave a much younger student stunned near the forest? How could this Ravenclaw not bother to at least cast a general counter spell before leaving? She understood that the stunning had been accidental, but ... what in Merlin's beard was going through that girl's mind?
In spite of the thoughts roaming through her head, Regina externally remained quite collected. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Skylar detach herself from the group and ride one of the horses away, but her eyes remained squarely on Kitty. "Too right you are, Miss Valentine. Five points will be taken from Ravenclaw House for your foolishness and lack of clear thinking when it would have been logical to cast a counter spell and returning with Mr. Ashburry-Hawthorne."
And on that unfortunate note, it was time for class to end. "Thank you all for a great lesson this morning. I can tell that many of you have gained a more thorough understanding about Ehwaz and the many situations that its energy can be invoked. Your trees will later be brought up to the castle later this evening for decorating, and your homework assignment will be posted then as well. You are all free to head to your next class." Some of them had quite a trek to get to their next class, so she hoped they didn't see this as the perfect opportunity to dawdle.
Without another word, the woman climbed onto Philippe's back and soared into the air, quickly following after Skylar. She hoped that Derfael was alright.
OOC: Thank you all so much for participating in this lesson! I hope you had as much fun with it as I had. I will keep this thread open for another 12-24 hours for you to make your character departures. Again, thank you for being a part of this lesson, and I hope to see you next time!
Going to Derf with Skylar bc that's what friends do lol

She glanced around at those in class to see if she could spot someone missing, someone who had been there before, but wasn't there now, when she realized it ... because how could she NOT realize the familiar blond head of a second year hufflepuff was missing.
"Derf's missing," she said automatically, and without waiting she re-entered the fenced area, clutching her pendant around her neck, she approached Rose again, who hadn't wandered too far off. "Ehwo ehwo ehwo, e e e e h w o o o, ehwu ehwa ehwi ehwe ehwo, ehwo ehwe ehwi ehwa ehwu, e e e e h w o o o." she chanted, to re-activate the rune, the pendant glowing the familiar shade of white as it had before, probably because it wasn't all too long ago.
Mounting the horse again, she flew off back towards the forest edge, in search of the whining, which didn't seem to take too long as there was only one horse present. And one small child. Her heart pounding, when saw him, immobilized. "Derf," she whispered, the horse beneath her sensing where to go and landed beside Ambrosia.
He was hurt.
"Finite incantatem," she cast, unsure if he was hurt or struck by a charm, but at least it would end the magic. Kneeling beside him, she whispered, "Do you need me to help you onto the horse?" She wasn't much bigger or stronger than him, but maybe the magic evoked within the rune would allow the horse to move lower to the ground and with her support, she could aid him onto the horse's back. And she would obviously ride with him.
She just needed him to make some sort of indication. Hopefully.

Normally, once they were dismissed, Vivian would have immediately left class to move onto her next. But this time, she was quite taken aback when Skylar went over to ride her horse back to the edge of the forest. Yes, the blonde had heard that the Abraxan whining from a distance. Thinking that perhaps Sky would need some back up for whatever reason it was, after answering the Headmistress' question, Vivian went back to Apollo. Anyway, who was Derf? The name wasn't familiar, but Vivian didn't like the sound of a student not finding his way back to the castle. She chanted the Ehwaz galdr to renew the energy and got on the Aethonan, soaring back to where they had been earlier when they were cutting down a tree.
Touching down beside Sky's winged horse, Vivian hopped off Apollo and joined her dorm mate. "Is he going to be okay?" The blonde asked her friend. She hoped the counter-spell that Sky had cast would work for the poor kid. And he was an ICKLE, so that made the Slytherin worry more. Vivian looked down at the Hufflepuff boy. "Hey, uh... Derf, right? Are... are you okay?" Was he still breathing? And his shoulder... what happened to that?
Vivian looked at the Headmistress with worried eyes, hoping the woman would be able to help the boy.

Did she mention how much she loved nifflers? Emmeline would prefer to stay out in the forest with this little guy forever for the rest of the day, but sadly, Gemma was getting kind of restless. It just wasn't fair for the first year to expect the Granian to hang around here forever. With a SUPER regretful sigh, Emmeline deposited the niffler back on the ground. She pulled a small, golden band (not real gold) that had a nice shine to it out of the plain sack she was holding. As she looked sadly down at the niffler, she asked: "You wanna go get this, buddy? I hope to see you again someday." And with that, the Gryffindor threw the ring as far as she could so that the niffler could chase it if he wanted to. Then it was time to go back over to Gemma.
"Hi Gemma, ready to go home?", she asked the horse quietly as she approached the Granian at a steady pace. Gemma pushed her nose into Emmeline's hand again when she raised it to pet the horse, and the first year took that for assent. She trailed her hand down Gemma's neck as she carefully mounted the horse, watching out for her beautiful wings. "Okay, let's go!"
Gemma didn't waste any time in taking off and soaring over the forest and back into the pen behind the barn. Emmeline loved every minute of this, and she hoped that Professor Wayland would let her ride Gemma again some time. As she slowly dismounted, Emmeline moved around until she was face to face with Gemma again. "Thank you SOOOOO much, Gemma!", she exclaimed as she petted Gemma one last time before joining her classmates grouped around the headmistress.
Derf wasn't here, but Emmeline initially wasn't too worried about that. Obviously, he'd encountered a cool creature in the forest and just wanted to spend more time hanging out with it, like she had. What else would explain the Hufflepuff's absence? She wasn't going to give her friend away to the headmistress though. Nope.
Now the headmistress was asking questions, so Emmeline raised her hand and obliged: "I learned that there are nifflers in the forest! And, I think I can use Ehwaz to help calm scared creatures down, maybe, because the rune will help them trust me more quickly." Okay, now time to wait for class to end so that she could go to the nursery and see Sirius.
The first year's attention was sort of wandering, but she tuned back in to the other students' answers when the Ravenclaw girl prefect (Kitty) spoke up. Emmeline had paid particular attention to what this girl said in lessons ever since the Statute thing in History of Magic. As she listened, Emmeline grew more and more horrified. This girl had done WHAT?! Somebody needed to call the Sorting Hat, because obviously this girl did NOT belong in Ravenclaw! How could she leave Derf immobilized in the forest?! She wasn't just a Ravenclaw, she was a PREFECT for Merlin's sake! Emmeline felt a strange surge of anger pulse through her. It was bad enough that most grown ups at Hogwarts couldn't be trusted, but now there were evil prefects too?! Or at least prefects who did obviously evil things and then acted all casual about it.
Her first instinct was to race for Gemma and fly off to find Derf, but the headmistress and some older girls who were clearly smarter than that mountain troll with the prefect's badge had already flown off. She didn't want to get in their way or disturb Derf with too many people around him. The first year leaned against one of the fence posts surrounding the horses' pen, her eyes fixed resolutely on the sky to wait for the rescue party to come back.

Skylar, Vivian, & Headmistress :3
astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf
Pendent still glowing, Derf tried once again to sent the abraxan a telepathic message of gratitude. Her call had seemingly worked, because in the next moment Skyler had appeared like a knight on a white horse to rescue him. Only it was way more neat than just that because this was a winged horse, you know?
Feeling like the Tin Man who could use a bit of oil, Derf started by stretching his mouth that had been previously hanging open. Inside was dry and his throat was scratchy, but otherwise he was A-OKAY! Minus sore limbs. And the fact that he had now missed the closing of the lesson and whatever important information may have been given and the chance to ask MORE questions. Like if this would work on ALL equestrian variety of creatures. Like...could it also work on a kelpie? Did the kelpie HAVE to be in its preferred horse form?
"Thanks, Skylar," he chirped a bit groggily, smacking his lips together and voice coming out more like a dull croak. "No, Ambrosia helps-s-s with that....but I could use s-s-something to drink..." His blue eyes found Vivian - hi marshmallow girl! - and then the headmisterss...and he suddenly felt quite sheepish and his hand couldn't stop ruffling his hair anxiously.
He even gave it a few awkward yanks now and then. "I'mokay," he mumbled sincerely as his eyes fell on the Headmistress next.
Probably...had to explain things, right? Right.
"There was a gnome ... and it was my fault...digging up his-s-s home and s-s-stuff. S-S-So he attacked me and bit my s-shoulder," he started explaining with copious amounts of hair ruffling. "WHICH he wouldn't have done if I hadn't dug up his-s-s home...S-So I was getting my box of worms-s-s out to try and lure him off me...caus-s-se gnomes like worms-s-s...when Kitty cast the Freezing Charm at him to try and help me....BUT I don't like us-s-sing magic on creatures-s-s unles-s-ss-s totally necess-sary...and it WAS-SN'T..." In his opinion anyway. "...s-s-so I took the spell myself....she healed my s-s-shoulder with a s-s-spell before going back...It's-s-s really all MY fault, Headmis-stres-ss-ss. For not us-s-sing a S-Severing Charm to s-s-start..but I'm not so good with it yet s-so...."

When Shay was safely back with her classmates, she took a moment to jot down what had happened during her adventure to the edge of the forest. Once most of the students had returned, the professor had more questions for them all. Shay had some thoughts and raised her hand to respond.
"I learned just how effective Ehwaz can be in helping someone connect and build a relationship with horses.". Even though Shay wanted to be believe that she and her Aethonan would have bonded without using Ehwaz, she knew that it had definitely hastened and strengthened the process. "I think I could use Ehwaz in my every day life to assist me during my travels, especially if I'm traveling to my home......since I live so far away." Certainly there were other ways she could use Ehwaz in her life. Shay was glad that they got to keep their pendants.

Yes it might have been impulsive to return back into the pastures and fly off in search of Derf, but she knew if he was alright, he would have made it back. And she wasn't surprised to see the Headmistress behind her, but Vivian touching down beside her? Well that was a shock, mostly because she hoped it wouldn't be too crowded around the second year.
"I think so," she nodded to her friend. Oh, okay, he was okay with riding back on his own and her spell that ended the magic in the vicinity had worked, as he seemed to come together more, just needed water.
But despite his thirst, he seemed to have succumbed the energy to explain the situation to the headmistress and how very noble of him! He was taking the blame that it was his fault because he didn't feel comfortable with the severing charm. Oh so sweet and Sky was fairly sure her heart may have just melted because, well, HE TOOK THE BLAME!!! Except Kitty shouldn't have left him frozen. She was a PREFECT, but she guessed, well, judging from Kitty's stance on things, if Derf had been a muggle she wouldn't have left him to his own devices. Nutty girl, really.
"It's not your fault. She shouldn't have left you frozen... it was very irresponsible of her," Sky reassured the hufflepuff. "But here, aquamenti," she cast, letting a stream of water flow from her water and figured he drink from it like a water fountain, because no glass. And they should be getting back now that he was unfrozen, yes?
