It is a positive energy-booster, brings about calm and encourages hard work, optimism and quiet joy. This is a Carnelian."

She flicked her wand as she spoke, causing a replica of the gemstone to appear on each desk. "You can keep those," Di said, picking up the replica that had appeared on her own desk, at the front of the 'classroom'. She liked Carnelians. Pretty stones.



Di gave the Lion a smile. "Take an extra point for that information, Mr. Hudson," she said cheerfully.


Back to the class, in general. "Coming to Dagaz, does anyone know the runic number for this rune?"



It was not, not, not a good thing that Di's hazel gaze chose that moment to [re-]land on Willie Cookie!Person. Because her pupils wiiiidened as he... as he... as he dug further into the back of his pants? For a moment, she had no idea at all how to react, and then Di cleared her throat.

Yes, loudly.

"Is anything the matt -" She paused, because the boy took that moment to ask her a question. Gemstone? She had half-forgotten Carnelians and all that, she was that shocked, to be honest. "Yes, gemstones," she said. Mustnoteyethiskidoddly. "Each Rune in the Elder Futhark has a corresponding gemstone." Pauuuse. "Is... everything alright, Mr. -?" She didn't know the boy's last name, but Di tried to give him an understanding sort of smile. Unfortunately, she failed miserably at that so she settled for an inquisitive, how-may-I-help-you look.

One that she hoped didn't come across as a WHAT!ARE!YOU!DOING!ODD!CHILD? kind of look, instead.


"The number is twenty four Professor," Daisy said with an unsure expression crassing her face. What if it was fourty two?
