"Very good Prefect Potter." She said smiling and leaning against the tree. "One point."

Say the names of the runes as you do this to being life to them." Kay answered and hope she was close to the right answer.
"Very good Miss Evans..." she said with a giggle... "One point."

She had no clue really, but that sounded right. "Since plants and trees have feelings toooo...yeeeeaaaa..." 'I sound like the Herbology teacher! This is so not Herbology class.' "So it's like, a tree branch for...whatever you give a tree. Water? Or... other stuff."
'Hmm, so what else...' Thinking it over before continuing, she sat up straight and picked a blade of grass. "After picking the wood...branch...you would shape it into whatever shape you need for the rune and then carve the rune shape into the wood. Though I think I read somewhere you shouldn't burn into the wood, but you can draw the runes onto the wood, i think." Flicking the piece of grass away, she sighed and looked over to the professor. "Then you...do...something." Great, now she forgot the last part. That's just great.
"Yes, you should leave an offering. One Point." She said.
"Good Job... Runes are based in Norse Mythology, can anyone tell me what tree is found in Norse mythology?" She asked.
