Was this why professors were keen on not providing students with caffeine? Because Skylar, despite her motivation to study, couldn't stop her leg from bouncing. And her brain? Was pretty much everywhere, but on the hieroglyphs from hundreds of years ago outlined on the page before her that she'd read about five times yet absorbed maybe one.

Ancient Runes was not usually a subject which tended to interest Professor O.Curtains. Not to imply that he was terrible at it - on the contrary, there once was a time upon graduating from Hogwarts where he'd been able to identify all the runes and several of their corresponding patterns. But alas! It wasn't a subject he'd thought of very much at all until recently.

The reason for his sudden interest in Ancient Runes and the reason he could be found entering the study room usually reserved for students could be traced directly back to the mysterious music box. The mystery of the music box was closer than ever to being solved. If only he could interpret the runes on the inside...

"Hello Ms. Skylar," he said absentmindedly as he set the music box off to the side and began looking through books. She seemed rather excited, didn't she? Or maybe it was just nervous. Or bored.
