Cris heaved a sigh of relief when Professor Botros confirmed that along with Ethan and another Slytherin, his answer had been correct. In fact, he was than happy because that meant that everyone, he included, would soon be feeling nice and warm.

He listened intently as Professor Botros explained what they would be doing for their lesson today and once he was done, Cris sat there in his seat flabbergasted.

But wait! What? They were going outdoors and down to the lake. Don't get him wrong, he loved the lake, but it was freezing cold right now. Cris hoped that they got to make a nice big fire!!

Trusting that the Professor knew what he was doing, Cris reached into his rune set and picked up the stone with the rune Kenaz carved on it and placed it the palm of his wand hand. Then he unholstered his wand and held it so that both the rune stone and his wand were touching.

Okay now to chant the Galdr but he'd wait until he had a torch in his hand.
