Sander finished chanting the Galdr, just as Alice finished carving the rune...and just in time too, because things began happening almost all at once. He could first see smoke rising from the wall and then the rune was burning.

"Yes Ella, I see and smell it too. Yes I believe it is a good thing. I think what we're doing is working," Sander replied excitedly to Ella's question as he peered closely at the wall.

Then...WHOMP!!

Sander instinctively ducked as he saw the Whomping Willow's branch move. Luckily for everyone, Professor Botros was quick to react and immobolized the tree again.

"I agree we need to work faster. Okay, I remember looking at Mo's homework when Professor Botros posted it on the Notice Board. Correct me if I'm wrong, we're supposed to now break the weak spots in the same ward. I think it's now Raidho and Jera and for the second ward the weak spot is Laguz." Sander shared his thoughts with everyone.

Now what was the opposing rune for each of them? Sander wracked his brain.

'Raidho means travel, change of place or setting. Wait! do we carve Nauthiz again or is it Isa since is represents stagnation? And for Jera is it still Isa? And since Laguz represents life, and Eihwaz represents death, is Eihwaz the opposing rune?" Sander suggested.

Yes he was grasping at straws and even he thought that his suggestion was wrong, because why would you negate a positive with a negative? But his mind was tired and he was trying the best he could.
