UGH.

Why had Ariadne talked herself into taking Runes? She hated Runes! Runes were super boring, even though she had been told they were also super useful. Who knew...maybe this professor could liven things up a bit... Maybe...

"Hello, Professor Sokolov! Welcome to Hogwarts," she said. He may have been here before as a student, but she was way too young to know anything about that. She did a mental cringe as she saw runes everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Was it too late to say nevermind and just walk back out the classroom?

Yes. It was. Ariadne took a seat and focused instead on who was walking into the room. HIII, FRIENDS! HIIII!
