Minerva went into a deep frown when he brought up the late professor. She was trying to avoid thinking about that, especially in this class. The classroom they all last saw him. Thankfully she had left quickly at the end of that class and did not see him taken by that horrid plant. She put her head down for a moment in honoring him. He deserved that much, he was a good professor, and always so mysterious with the owls and leaving at different times.

Now time for class to start, listening she was at least glad she could understand this professor and he did seem nice. Placing her hand up Minerva tried to answer the question at the best of her ability. "Professor, runes is an alphabet that was used before the Latin alphabet was created. It had symbols for each letter." Putting her hand down, Minerva got ready to take any notes she felt needed to be taken.
