"Why not?" It was an out-of-the-box answer, and Di had always appreciated those. "Good thinking, Miss. Hollingberry."

Surely there was a counter-charm thingie for disillusionment?

Then he noticed the class had already started, and he turned a shade of red.

Did this kid want a cookie to eat, too? Di shrugged, set one down in his plate and then [just in case he wanted it back because that had been the task] asked, "Did you vanish it, Mr. Doyle?"

Or she liked to think so at least.

Hmm..she wondered if she could get another compliment, so, now with two cookies in her hand, she raised it high, "How about the Algiz rune? Since it means rebirth and stuff."

And being reborn was a BOLD thing to do.

"Algiz is a rune of change, but I'm afraid it's not one of the runes I'm looking for, Miss Shepard," Di said, giving the rather... err, happy-looking girl [where had she gotten that other cookie? Di was pretty sure that last time the Slytherin had raised her hand, she had only had one] a slight smile. "It does mean 'rebirth and stuff,' but the runes I'm looking for are considered counterparts." Hint, hint.

Not as good as Kurumi's though. Maybe she could just ask the Gryffindor for some.. she always seemed to have them spare..

She grinned. Excellent worded. *BEAM*

Blink. If all of them were going to eat lotsofcookies right now, they wouldn't have any appetite left later for... other things.

Ah well.

"Of course you can," Di said. She summoned the cookie jar she ought to have summoned in the first place [everyone did seem rather excited about the cookies, you know] and set it down on an unoccupied desk. Free cookies for all. Or something of that sort.

Or...no...

Eh? "I think...the Dagaz rune might be the bold change...one." Maybe.

Perhaps.

And then the professor brought up runes, which, besides being the name of this subject, also made Fletcher's smile slowwwly fade from his face. D'awww. He was really starting to like this class. Maybe... maybe he knew this one, though? Maybe?

"Is it, um, Jera that's the rune of gentle change?" He'd probably mispronounced it....

HEHE. She knew her stuffs.

"You're all correct," Di nodded. "There are a number of runes that are known as those of change -" There was the hypothesis that each rune was essentially one of change, but Di had had her own opinions about that - "But Jera and Dagaz are commonly considered counterparts and the runes of gentle and bold change. We're going to discuss both of them separately but first, given that Jera represents the year and Dagaz represents the day, can anyone guess why the first is considered the rune of gradual change, and the second the rune of bold change?"
