I find pitching a camp a strange, but mind you excellent, way of starting off a class."
Which reminded him. "Speaking of protective spells. Well, kind of not, but at the same time yes...anyways." He held up the pine-cones with a wide grin. "I was thinking, since we are done setting up, we paint them. Maybe a few rocks too. Welcome 'cones' or 'stones'. Draw little eyes and faces on them, maybe a few animal ones to represent the houses and put them around. Mascots for our Runes class." Whatever they would like to call them. "If they're going to be mascots though..." he tapped one of the cones against his chin, "probably best we paint stones..."
Protection or space spell that can be worked up with Runes? Arya wasn't sure, she didn't attend many lessons the last two terms, and when she did, she didn't pay much attention to the professors.
"I hope all night to, we worked so hard putting up our tents and tarps over them." A grin spread across her face.
"I find it strange too, especially for this class. But I'm not going to complain about camping."
Arya's eyes lit up, and she nodded her head a few times at the idea of painting rocks.
"Yes! Lets do it, I think rocks are best since were going to be painting." She paused.
"We can still paint the pine cones our house colors and hang them from the tent opening." When he agreed to the with a grin, she went and picked out stones by lake's edge while Sabel went and picked out a few good pine cones. Arya may have gotten a little distracted by school of small fish swimming along the bank, but she was soon back at the Griffindor's side with her stones. Grabbing a few paint brushes and some paint, the pair began to paint badgers and lions on the stones, and yellow and read pine cones. It didn't take them long to finish painting and when they did, they started hanging the pine cones and placing the stones by their respective tents.

Looking up from her painted stones, she let her eyes dance over to the professor when she spoke. The grin on her face grew when she saw the camp fire. She spun her head back towards Sabel.
"S'mores!" Skipping over to the fire, she plopped down on the ground close to the lake, and started to stick marshmallows on a stick. Arya heard the professor say something about them refreshing there memory of runes. Well.....she didn't know much about them, so she would just roast marshmallows until she could answer one of the questions.
