The tables you are sitting at are each made of wood and I think are rather bare. So today we're going to choose runes to carve into the tables, based on the magical associations of each rune, and activate the magic of each one, hopefully to provide beneficial effects on your learning."

Yes. They'd be carving up the furniture.

"So take a look at the list. What kind of runes do you think would be good to carve into a desk that you do schoolwork on? What kind of effects would you think might be beneficial? Put your hand up if you can see one here, and do feel free to think outside the box, there is a lot of opportunity for that. You're welcome to say a rune someone else has said, but do try to share a different magical association to that rune as well as why you think it'd be
useful."
Freddie had flicked through his textbook to chapter five as instructed by Truebridge. He sat and listened, a frown on his face as if he was expecting to be confused by the lesson, but it soon faded when he realised everything was pretty straight forward and logical and he could follow. There didn't seem to be the need to use magic either which suited the lad perfectly.

He scanned the runes on the page and raised his hand. “Raidho. It symbolises journey and change. It's a positive rune. Perhaps it could be useful to students in their NEWT year who'll soon be moving on from Hogwarts.”

"Also Tiwaz.. represents strength and discipline.. victory in competition. They're all traits useful to learning and succeeding. Pretty apt for in the classroom."

He could see someone in his line of vision as he spoke to the professor and he focused on Trixie as she gestured for him to sit next to her. He nodded and got up, moving to sit next to the Head Girl. “Hey.” He whispered. He glanced at the Ravenclaw girl on her other and nodded at her then turned his attention back to the class, his eyes scanning the textbook in front of him.
