He nodded and hoped they understood.

Professor Christiansen was funny with his 'nei's and 'ja's, but Helena didn't laugh or giggle or anything. It would've been rude, right? Especially when she was sitting there in the front. But if the man was going to teach at least one more term, maybe she'll get used. Hehe.
And when he spoke again, Helena wodered if he wasn't quite telling them the opposite thing that they've learned during the last lesson. Or... maybe not? "
You've taught us about the meanings of the runes. That's what witches and wizards use," the girl said with a slight shrug, then let the hand that was up in the air fall back on her lap.
