"Thurisaz means giant literally, but that's not what we're supposed to look at in runes." He answered the girl gently, smiling at her and pointing at her textbook. "Look at the energy section, it will help you more. Thurisaz, for example, would be great with repairing charms." She was going to get credit for her answer, anyway, it was good effort.

"Brilliant, yes. Sowilo and Incendio work great together." Obviously.

"Correct, Prefect Rehman." He smiled and nodded.

"Perfect! Algiz and Protego, for example, yes." He beamed at the little girl and moved on to the next student...

Though, he could see where some of the other answers were going with things. He did think though that perhaps Lumos Solem was more appropriate than Incendio where Sowilo was concerned. Hands up, he offered his own example. "What about Laguz and Aguamenti, Professor?" he asked, considering both were to do with water.
"Laguz works great with Aguamenti, yes. Very good." He passed by the boy's desk and patted his arm.

It was so nice and warm here, that it made her think of fire, which reminded her of one of the classes from her Third Year. Raising her hand she said, "Kenaz and Incendio." That had come in handy for cooking.
"Another rune to be used with Incendio, yes. Kenaz is more controlled than Sowilo so I'd choose it instead. True." He smiled at the talented badger.

"Sowilo means 'sun'," he began, glancing towards the Gyrffindor girl who'd started with the same idea. "And... could you maybe argue that you could use it with Lumos, to create light? Because of the whole sun thing and because the rune represents positive energy and good stuff and all, and a lot of people associate, like... creating light to counter the dark, figuratively as well as literally. Maybe?"

Toby lowered his hand again and rubbed a balled up fist at one of his tired eyes. Next time he had a class this early, this Hufflepuff would be loading up on coffee beforehand. Yep.
If professors were encouraged to hug students in classrooms, Botros would've hugged Tobias. Instead, though, he clapped for him enthusiastically. Probably the first thoughtful answer in class so far. "Absolutely brilliant, yes. I bet you can get Sowilo to create a stronger light with Lumos." So, not just figuratively. Botros was now excited to see the boy try.

...maybe later...

Angel wasn't 100% sure about that but she thought she would give it a try and hope for the best, it was totally a wild guess.
"What kind of weather spells, though?" He smiled at the little Gryffindor. There were many 'weather charms' it would be best to specify since Hagalaz didn't work with them all.

I know it's kind of...maybe a little out there but could....uh Ot-ha..la-Othala be used for the Four-Point Spell? Especially if you were really trying to find your way?"
Oh Merlin, yes, another thoughtful answer. Sort of. "Definitely. Othala is bound tightly with one's destination, particularly what they consider as home. It would be the perfect rune to engrave on a compass for example." And then use the direction charms on it. Botors gave the little Ravenclaw an impressed and beaming smile.

The kids seem to be waking up because more and more good answers were finally out. "That is correct, Ms. Wayne, yes." She was a promising student, did she know? She helped with last term's runic spell, that was huge.

"Healing, yes. And physical strength as well." He gave the boy a pleased look and a pat on the arm as he passed by his table.

"It... helps, I think, yes." Botros chuckled at the Ravenclaw, doubting that anyone would use a rune with that charm. But it was a correct answer.

Aww, this one was really struggling, wasn't she? But she gave a correct answer. "That is correct. We can use Hagalaz with Stupefy." It wasn't the perfect choice, but it worked! "Good job." He smiled warmly at her.

Heather flipped her textbook open to the list of runes and their meanings and looked it over. At first, nothing jumped out at her as being a good match for any spell. But the longer she looked, well, there it was. "Kenaz could be used with Lumos, since kenaz means torch and Lumos basically turns your wand into one." Unless kenaz was talking about torching something, in which case it would be Incendio. But she thought her original answer was the correct one.
Another Kenaz answer. "Kenaz and Lumos... work... but Sowilo and Lumos, Kenaz and Incendio, work better." He smiled at her for her good effort.

Cantis with Ansuz? Botros laughed heartily at this Gryffindor's answer. Lions sure were such amusing folk. "Why, I would love to see that happen, my dear boy." He didn't give a certain answer, though. There was no right or wrong, runes were much more flexible than that.

Continuing on the train of worry about tests and quizzes. Though, in sudden hindsight, it seemed like a bad suggestion. What if she had just given the Professor an idea and he would use it on their quizzes. Then there would be no hope in passing if they couldn't gain unknowing assistance from other classmates! FAIL!
"Normally, Algiz works best with protection spells such as Protego.. but I bet it works with the anti-cheating charms as well!" He nodded enthusiastically at the Gryffindor.

... he gestured at the Gryffindor boy's answer. "See? Yes. Perfect." He smiled meaningfully at Mr. Hirase.

"In casting charms that help the growth of plants professor, such as the ones we learn in herbology, we could use Berkana couldn't we?" Like the ones Bentley had taught them to age and grow their BONZAIIIII trees.
"Brilliant, yes, Mr. Mordaunt." Another smart answer, Botros was pleased in general.

"I hope you all made notes of each other's answers." He went up to the front of the class and beamed at everyone. "It's not vital, though, because we're moving on to another related topic." He held his cane with both his hands. "Runes usually are mentioned most in Norse mythology. Odin being the father and founder of all runes. Those ancient figures used runes heavily in their lives, whether to defeat evil or in small tasks such as growing magical plants." A look in Mr. Mordaunt's way who rightfully suggested Berkana for that. "Thor, for example, used the rune Uruz on his hammer so it could gain impeccable strength. Sigurd had this great, defeatless sword with Teiwaz on it. Odin himself had many exceptional instruments such as his cane with the rune Ansuz on it." There were many, many more but Botros stopped here.

"There is one trickster that we're going to talk about briefly today and that is Loki. Have you heard of him? What do you know about Loki, why is he famously known as the trickster?"


ooc: - One answer per student as usual. :)
- No catching up is allowed, please, just go with the TL of the class.
- Do not confuse Loki from the movies with Loki from the Norse mythology, there are some differences.
- If your character doesn't know anything, be creative with your answer, Botros isn't looking for a know-it-all kind of answers, he likes to see effort.
- Class will continue in 24 hrs! PM/VM me about any questions if you need.
