Slytherin Slytherin Study Tables

Slytherin Study Tables



Having trouble with some pesky homework? Come in and see if someone can help you figure it out. This is where you can ask for help from your fellow classmates, but please... no copying from one another.

BUT SOMETHING IS AMISS! The shelves that line the study area are usually stocked with reading material for all classes, and what seemed like an unlimited supply of spare parchments, ink and quills seems not to have been restocked.

Why were the house elves neglecting the dungeons.

Ingredients. Right. Well... Derry wasn't entirely sure what sort of ingredients she was supposed to be looking for so, right now, she was in search of her cat. Cat hair was an ingredient, right? Right. So Lando was in for a treat.

She wandered into the study area, hardly noticing what was wrong here, since everywhere was dusty and it didn't make much difference. "Lando..? Where are you..? Ch ch ch..." She had his cat brush hidden in her hand... but he was nowhere to be found. Hmmm. She fiddled with her bracelet as she looked around the room, and then stared down at it.

It was made of horsehair....... she'd made it when she first got her horse! Horsehair was an ingredient, right?! Derry undid the bracelet and pulled a few hairs from the plait, putting them in one of the little phials she'd brought with her for this ingredients hunt. That was one down. Three to go. Better get a move on.

While originally Kahlan had come to the study area to actually study, seeing it the way it was made her feel a mixture of annoyance and anger at the state that the place was in. Studying immediately left her mind as she quickly stormed off to get the trusty vacuum cleaner they received in Astronomy. While there wasn't much the first year could do about the lack of ink and parchment, she wasn't going to let the place stay this dusty.

It was horrendous.

So pulling over her vacuum cleaner, happy that no one else was here that could really be disturbed in their studying by the vacuum she pulled out her wand, patting the vacuum cleaner.

"We can do this can't we? Steve? Wait... did I just call you Steve?" she asked the vacuum cleaner, momentarily forgetting what she wanted to do before shaking her head to refocus. "Whatever, be Steve for now! Vacavus" she concluded, tapping the vacuum with her wand as it once again roared to life, the sound seeming to be echoing around the room.

And so she found herself running around trying to get rid of all the dust and other things, including multiple spiders, that definitely DID NOT belong anywhere near the study area...

Let alone in the dungeons!

Glaring at the vacuum cleaner as it died before she finished cleaning completely the girl sighed. "Seriously Steve? Vacavus" she sighed as Steve slowly came back to life again, seeming a bit worn out, but she was definitely going to make him clean the rest of this space!

When she was finally done, and the vacuum cleaner had 'died' again she looked around, nodding in approval.

Well at least this could now be a reasonable place to study.

.... he lugged the vacuum down to the study area. It wasn't too bad compared to the dorms right? West decided to get under the tables with the vacuum though, figuring it was probably a good idea anyways and his nose WAS tingling with dust. He tapped the vacuum tube. "Vacavus!" He commanded, hoping that being more firm would have the charm last longer.

He started to vacuum under the table, watching as dust was noticeably sucked up with the vacuum tube. This would be easier if the vacuum was bigger and not just some... tube head thing, West noted, but he did his best. It wasn't like he was familiar with muggle equipment after all. Back and forward... baaack and forward....

His mind started to wander and for one clear moment he was TOTALLY sucking up space dust with a black hole. EVENT HORIZON.

It stopped again and he tapped it impatiently. "Vacavus!" Come on, thing, work better. It started sucking enthusiastically again and West moved on to vacuum under the next table, finding it easier once he had a rhythm even if he tripped over the cord thing a few times. It wasn't plugged into anything of course but it was trailing along.

Space junk. Dangerous.

West spent another ten minutes vacuuming under and around the tables and then, as the spell wore out for the fourth time, decided that was enough. He dragged the vacuum and headed out of the common room.

Queen of Typos | The OTHER OTHER Roro | WICKED is Good

Cassia grabbed everything and went to the study tables after shooting a look towards those who complained. Pfffft. She wasn't going to waste her precious time on useless people. Upon entering she took a look around seeing others here. Eeeeh. Will they mind her voice, too? Hopefully not. Also, those were the study tables and technically she was studying. So they didn't get to say anything about it. Mhhmm. Also, others were studying in loud voices memorizing and all. So yeah.

Sitting, she spread her stuffs on the table. The textbook, the list, and then grabbed the wand and the branch. Now to the next rune she had gotten. "Intaglio Isa...Isa..Isaaaaa," She eyed the branch until the rune appear. She crossed it out and moved on to the next rune, "Intaglio Jera...Jera..." This was easy and...not bad. The fourth-year paused and glanced around to check if anyone was glaring at her, nope, she was safe. Unless they looked away but she didn't really care.

Half an hour later she got two more runes carved with not much trouble or repetition. On the third though she struggled. She must have been losing concentration because she got bored! Because even if it was easy it still wasn't that entertaining.

She paused trying to clear her mind then reached for her wand again, "Intaglio Wunjo...Wunjo..." Come ooooon, "Wunjo...wunjooo.." And at laast. With that accomplishment, she leaned her head on the table and closed her eyes resting. She deserved the rest.

Default Ancient Runes [Post #1]
Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese

Okay, so...Dylan was finally getting started on this term-long Ancient Runes assignment...He'd been putting it off for several reasons. The first and most important that...he just hadn't felt inspired enough to make his galdr yet. That was most likely a stupid reason for some, but not to him. He knew the importance of 'intention' and 'passion'. If he just wasn't feeling it yet, his galdr ran the risk of turning out mediocre...and, according to Dylan, nothing he did was mediocre.

So, here he was...stationed at one of the Slytherin study tables, a thick tome about wand woods cracked open in front of him. Dylan hadn't been able to really find a lot of literature on woods for galdrs. Obviously, there was a list or acceptable woods in his Runes textbook...but he wanted to think outside the box. No one else would think to do so...and it was that fact alone that kinda sealed the deal on it...Or...better yet...

Pulling his Runes book out, the Slytherin quickly flipped to the page that listed the woods with runic power. He could do one that would be acceptable to Professor Botros...and another on the side. As a personal project or whatever. Could be cool, either way...

So, he had TWO woods to select.

SO...first wood...

Taking a gander at the list, he chewed over a few options. Alder immediately jumped out at him...but then was dismissed. "Battle witch" of trees didn't sound like something he wanted to personally represent to his Runes Professor. Then there was Oak...but that quickly got dismissed, too. Sounded too much like Oakey...and Dylan did not want to do his project being reminded of that...guy. He had enough on his plate right now...

After carefully reading through his options, it was had to say which wood would speak the most to him...Willow looked promising...but didn't feel right. Not for something like this. The Slytherin was beginning to wonder if he'd ever be able to choose...but that's when he seen it. NATURALLY...the final choice would be the one he'd feel the most at home with. That was his luck. Looking through all the wrong ones until you find a right one...

YEW.

First things first, it was a totally rare wood. So, probably not that many people had considered it. It was associated with ODIN, the Allfather of the Norse Gods...and related to death and rebirth. It was all-around awesome. So, CLEARLY the best choice for him.

So...second wood...

Searching through his other other book, he re-scanned all the types listen and sighed. Wand woods had better descriptions listed beneath them...and because of that...and the fact that he'd been staring at them for almost an hour now...it was easy for him to decide upon Aspen wood. It had a lot of great qualities that he admired...Fine-grained and highly prized. Very attractive, indeed. It was also perfect for charmwork...and what were runes but just little written charms? Realistically, think about it. It was also associated with determination and strong-mindedness...So totally perfect for him.

Yes. Well, he was all decided then.

Packing up his bag with some necessary tools, Dylan slowly made his way out to the forbidden forest line. Hopefully, he'd find what he was looking for near the edge of the forest...and not too deep in...

Okay. So he kind of hadn't done much studying all year. At all. Which was bad, considering that it was his NEWT year next year and he really did need to pass. He hadn't been though. Which was kind of worrying. Though he wasn't overly stressing about them. It was nearly the end of term, he didn't need to be stressing at all. But with all the dementors going on outside, he figured he may as well have a little study. It was going to be much safer in the common room. What sort of dementor would wand to come into the common room? Hopefully none.

As he wandered into the room, he saw that Dylan was sat there at the study tables. Interesting. Hadn't he done his exams yet? Oh well. Carrying his transfiguration book over to the table he smiled at his Captain. "Dylan." Well actually. The boy wasn't going to be his Captain for much longer. Sitting down, he opened the book.

Default Ancient Runes [Post #9]
Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese

After Dylan had finished in the Forbidden Forest with collecting his yew tree branch, he retreated back inside to remove the bark. Yes, he could've gotten it done anywhere in the castle...but this was something that required a great deal of care...and he wanted total privacy. Meaning...no eyes on him...

So, yea...he was sat back at the study table in the dungeons.

Handling the branch some, Dylan laid it carefully down on the table top, slowly removing his wand. The instructions had been clear about stripping the bark with magical means. Had to be with magic. No other way would be appropriate for the galdr...or so he'd read, anyway. In fact, looking down at it...the piece he'd cut had been rather long, actually. Dylan was convinced he'd cut this thing too long...but nothing had been specific in the instructions or rules. Officially...how long was a galdr supposed it be? Could it be any size?

...Questions he should have asked...

Getting down to it...Dylan only knew of one spell that would really work and started getting in the mindset for it. Diffindo...He'd need to be careful, of course...but being a Seventh Year...and a smart Slytherin...he knew he'd managed.

...and so the process began. Slowly, but surely, pieces of bark were cut away, falling to the table with small clinks!...Dylan didn't mind taking his time either. Really, he had nothing else to be doing...So, all attention and focus was on the task at hand. "Diffindo!" He kept at it for a good hour before finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. ONE MORE PIECE TO CUT AWAY...

"Diffindo!"

With one last uttered spell, Dylan was finished...and he quickly stuffed his wand away. Then he was fishing into his bag of things...looking for something in particular...Something he'd gotten specially for the occasion...Oh, there it was. A moment later, a small black pouch was being pulled from it's depths.

After using his hands to move the bark pieces into a pile, he carefully dropped them into the bag tugging the drawstring tight and closed.

Now...apparently he had a song to write...

She liked it to be at Hogwarts and to be away from home, she had fun here and more importantly, there were no shouting parents here who were always fighting with each other! But there was something she didn’t liked, and that was doing her homework, it was boring and she wanted to play with her two rats, to walk outside or to do all the other things she liked! But doing her homework was something she disliked, but… If she wanted to become important when she was older, like the headmistress, who was VERY cool, than she needed to study, so she didn’t complained when she walked toward the study tables with her pink hello kitty schoolbag and sat down. Next to her sat the captain from Slytherin, Dylan and she nodded to him before she opened her own book and started to read.

It was really hard...trying to think up a song for a tree. Yes, being someone that enjoyed music and playing guitar, Dylan had written things before...but nothing of any good (he could admit). There were just some talents that he did not have...Song writing was one of them...Not that he wasn't prepared to try, mind...but the effort might be wasted.

That was all.

Siiiiiiiiigh.

Oh, wonderful yew tree...
I'm so pleased with what you have given me...


Well, it was true, so far. The tree had been wonderful and grand...and Dylan was pleased with stuff...The point of the song would be to write about what was true, yea? That's what he'd always believed about these types of things, anyway. If you didn't believe it...it wouldn't come. Ahem.

Your gift was not bestowed in vain
...and you won't ever hear me complain...

...about tree-hugging and saving the planet again.


.....

This was absolutely awful...The Slytherin face-planted the table in his frustration, taking a deep breath after doing so. He absolutely hated writing lyrics. It was something he didn't even do this for his girlfriend...Ugh...

MENTAL!FLAIL!

Oh, she was back. And yes she was here to carve so deal with it people. The snake didn't like the idea of wandering around the grounds with dementors attacks and all. Nope. She was fine. Also, she's been feeling tired and exhausted. So she was here. Cassia shuffled into the room and plopped down on the nearest chair. This one was fine. Dropping what she was holding, she organized them putting the textbook before her then the list with the remaining runes' names. She only had to carve those and she'd be done with this step.

She could DO IT!

Turning the branch in her hands, she found a spot for the remaining five runes and pointed the tip of the wand at it. "Intaglio Perthro.....Perthro...." Come on Perthro, show us your faaaaace. Or you know, yourself. "Perthro!" Turned out it only needed an enthusiastic tone. Pfffft. She could do that no problem.

The next rune, "Intaglio Sowilo..Sowilo.." This one was cool and appeared easily! Woot! She was almost done. The snake, straightened and tucked the loose bangs of her hair behind her ear. It was messy but she wasn't gonna waste her concentration on it. She wanted to finish this carving.

With the same level of concentration, the fourth-year continued with the carving until she finished the other three remaining runes. PHEW! She had finished!

She placed her wand down on the table and examined the branch and the runes. She started counting them and checking them against the list before her. Just to make sure she didn't miss any of them. All good.

Done with the carving!

Dylan was still face-planting the desk, moaning and groaning about his woes. SONG LYRICS EVADED HIM...and he was getting nowhere with this...For whatever reason, it just wasn't happening. Even his perfected art of making random things up and making them work wasn't working...

FLOP.

WOE IS ME.

Lifting himself up, he eyed the parchment an tried to think of other ways to use the words...or other words that might fit altogether.
Oh, wonderful yew tree...
I'm so pleased with what you have given me...

Your gift was not bestowed in vain
...and you won't ever hear me complain...
...about tree-hugging and saving the planet again.
Hmph, could probably add 'amazingly' just before 'wonderful'...Oh, wait...He'd just thought of some more lines. Yes! That had been the goal. Definitely didn't want this thing to be too short.
I Diffindo'd your branch...and then did a dance...
What a terribly marvelous day!
The Slytherin Captain felt so lame...but he was beyond caring at this point. It needed to get done...and he hated lyrics. Just HATED them...and if they sounded cheesy or played out, well that really wasn't his problem.

She was very glad that she had finished the carving of the runes. She even took a couple of days to rest and didn't touch the branch. But then she figured she had to because it was almost time to hand it over. But the good thing was that she liked the next step. Coloring! She had the equipment. And it was fun. She had used the painting earlier to do the posters she and Blue decided on. Though they never got to revive the business due to very secret reasons. At least, they had fun planning and making posters and such.

The snake picked up the stuff from her trunk then headed to the studying tables. She decided to stay indoors. Upon sliding in her familiar chair, Cassia started retrieving the brush, the branch and the jar of red paint she had. All good. She didn't forget to bring anything. She rolled up her sleeves, opened the jar and dipped the brush into it. Then she started painting the branch slowly. She hadn't had fun doing something for homework for a long time. But now she was. She liked drawing and painting and that.

With the same pattern, Cassia kept dipping the brush and then running it on the branch's surface. Though the tricky part was when she had to color the part where she held the branch. That meant she had to hold it from another spot which was damp with paint. She either had to wait or clean her hand afterwards. Deciding to wait a bit, the snake sat back holding the branch and waiting.

Feeling that the paint had mostly dried, she held it from the opposite end and started painting the remaining spot. Then she waited for it to dry again waving it around. The entire process did take time but she wasn't bored.

Once the branch fully dried, Cassia put it into her bag then started cleaning up. There were a couple of drops of paint. A simple scourgify solved it.

Default Ancient Runes [Post #17]
Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese

After the moon had done its magic on with the runeless galdr, Dylan was back at the Slytherin study tables...staring down at it. It was time to start the carving process...and it was going to be a lengthy task. There were 24 runes that needed to go on this thing...That was A LOT of chanting...and focusing....and concentrating....

Pulling the textbook, the Slytherin Captain flipped through its pages, looking for the list of runes, chants, and descriptions. A bunch of logic that was about to go into this portion of the assignment. Dylan knew it and was ready, though...So, the question was....where to start...?

Given what the wood was...it seemed most obvious to go with Ansuz. That was Odin's rune, right?...And yew wood represented Odin. It was perfectly aligned in all areas....and he was definitely getting some vibes about it. It FELT right to carve it near the top of the galdr, straight-up and proud...because it was a very important, being Odin's rune and all.

Breeeeeeeath.

Holding the galdr with one hand and his wand in the other, he got in the zone. SEE THE RUNE. Be the rune...."Intaglio Annnnsssuuuuzz..." Dylan had his concentration face on, allowing his mouth to form the letters and vowel sounds. "Intaglio Ansuz...Intaglio Ansuz...Intaglio Ansuz..." With care and precision, he allowed his wand to guide his hand in tracing out the singular rune..."Intaglio Ansuz...Intaglio Ansuz..." He was repeating the spell and name...Not drawing it out....Seemed to be doing the trick, anyway...and Dylan sighed with relief when he was able to move on and analyze the next.

Yep, wasn't going to think about it too much....He could let his mind choose. Dylan didn't really know why...but he felt confident with just allowing it to come naturally...He'd been up close and personal with that yew tree...Dylan felt like he knew things about that tree, now. Like some sort of energy had been passed onto him through that really odd heartbeat...he'd felt. Yep, totally still remembered that one...vividly.

Othala.

Othala needed to be next...and would bring a strong sense of commitment to the galdr...making that bond stronger than it already was. Bond between wood and man...Breath..."Intaglio Othala..." Merlin, this was one of his favorites to say out loud..."Intaglio Othala...Intaglio Othala...Intaglio Othala..."

There were seven million things he could have been doing right now that constituted as better then working on this ruddy assignment and tha was no exaggeration. It was a RUDDY assignment. So much work about things that did not matter, oh wait, ever. And it was annoying that he had to do this for class or whatever. Pfft.

But he was just gonna grit his teeth and do it so it was dead. Nice and dead so he didn't have to EVER look at it again. And that was a real thing. Just nope.

So he sat down at the Slytherin Study Tables, it was filled with SO MUCH life (sarcasm), and flipped open his book. Inside all of the pages he saw his doodles from the year that made him smirk to himself. Jeez, he was witty AND handsome. Not that THAT comment had much to do with anything, but whatever. He didn't really care much at all.

With a sigh, he flipped through all of the pages of his book until he got to the wood section. Lots and lots of different types of wood. Ahem. This was so fascinating. OR not ever, yeah? Yeah.

He read a bit about each kind of wood until he decided on OAK because it would be the easiest to find in the forrest where he would no doubt have to go. Hmph.

With Othala out of the way, that left twenty-two runes still in need of being carved onto this bad boy...Dylan was really enjoying carving runes into things. Writing them, too. He liked the way they looked...and he liked the way his fingers would listen and meticulously draw them out. Art was a general fail for the Slytherin when it came to drawing...but the runes were just simple enough in structure for him to make them beautiful.

Poetic, right?

Continuing with the trend, he allowed his mind to clear...and then waited for the next rune to float up...There it was...Berkano...Berkano needed to be near Othala since they had a similar purpose...The first focused on commitment...while the latter held powers together. Sounds like commitment to him. Also bringing ideas to fruition...and creativity...Dylan wanted it to be near the center...

Right, focusing his wand again, and concentrating on the rune he was trying to etch into the side of his galdr, the Slytherin began carefully mouthing the incantation for it. "...Intaglio Berkano...Intaglio Berkano..." Looked just like a jagged 'B'...His hands were steady as the rune began to translate onto the wand..."...Intaglio Berkano...Intaglio Berkano...Intaglio Berkano...Intaglio Berkano..."...and then it was done...and Dylan was left massaging his forehead.

What next...?

Mannaz...Increase in intelligence, memory, and mental power...Focus was back full on as Dylan readied himself for the next rune to start 'calling' to him. It was the oddest thing...but make him feel power at the same time...Mannaz, Mannaz, Mannaz...

"Intaglio Mannaz...Intaglio Mannaz...Intaglio Mannaz...Intaglio Mannaz...Intaglio Mannaz..." Dylan's wand hand moved with ease, doing the first line of the 'M' shape...and then the second...."Intaglio Mannaz...Intaglio Mannaz..."...and then that crazy crisscross thing at the top...

In fact, he kept his momentum going as the next rune immediately flashed across the insides of his eyelids.

Isa.

The most simple one to carve ever...To make a situation static, ground wayward emotions and calm volatile actions. Seemed like such a manipulation rune to him...but also seemed like a totally useful thing to add to his galdr. So,....it was back to focusing once more. "Intaglio Isa...Intaglio Isa....Intaglio Isa....."

And now that he had his wood stuff all in order from the weirdest and LONGEST assignment he had ever had the misfourtune to ever be a part of he supposed he was ready to write this song thing. He understood music, it was always the same set of rules and rhythm was consistent, yeah? Drums were the best on a TOTALLY related note. Ahem. P-p-pun.

Now anyway, he had to write a song. Maybe, since it was fresh in his mind from the Shakespearean insult book that he had been enjoying, he would write it in Iambic Pentameter. 'Cause that would be cool and stuff mostly because Billy Shakes was the man. Knew how to write the best stuff and he was super witty. Smirk. Would've been a Slytherin bar none.

So in honour of how awesome HE and SHAKESPEARE were that was how he was going to write this song. Fourteen lines. 10 syllables. ABAB format. Done and done, yeah?

Pulling out a piece of parchment, Ascanius went to work thinking up a song that would befit his Oak tree. His plain and boring and totally useless Oak tree.

Dipping his quill in some ink, he mulled over how he was going to thank his Oak tree. JEEZ, THIS WAS SO STUPID AND HE DID NOT WANT TO BE HERE at all. It was an Oak tree after all, not some pretty girl who'd appreciate and listen to the song. But he was gonna Bruce Springstein this thing. Poem it up and then write a tune. Best song writers were poets after all.

To write a song about your branches long
Would be a slight to your true power's might.
And so to you I dedicate this song.
Beloved Oak, I marvel at your sight.

T'were many men who asked for your bark
But nature is a cold and brutal force
So you denied them all save myself, Stark.
I was granted bark straight from your kind source.


He looked it over a few times and sighed. Yeah, it was definitely doing what it was supposed to do but it sounded STUPID. Really stupid because he was writing a song about wood. Sure, maybe going about it in the old sense was better then trying to make it modern and make it even DUMBER, but this assignment was irritating him. Ugh. And more ugh.

Five done, nineteen more to go...

Dylan sighed, yawning and stretching his arms up. Just a quick break before he jumped back into things. Offhandedly, he wondered what Beezy Weezy was up to...and if she was doing her galdr right now...or homework...or perfect duties...

He hadn't seen her in a few days.

The Slytherin really missed her...

Yawning again, he quickly got back to work...looking up runes as they came to mind and carving them in. The next after Isa had been Laguz...and it was known for its guidance, vitality, and life force. Legit because Laguz is the water rune...and water is vitality and life force...Dylan carved it in with great focus and concentration, like he had with all that had been added thus far. Eihwaz came next, and upon further reading, he found that it symbolized the yew tree...Along with banishing and protecting. A correspondence to 'Death' and 'Rebirth' maybe? More focus and concentration were exerted as Eihwaz got added...His brain was screaming Perthro for the one after...and the Captain rubbed at his eyes, the words beginning to blend together in the book.

BLINK.

This one stood for 'karmic energies', 'good mental health in healing', 'inner guidance'...and 'that which was once lost'. He continued to put all his effort into it as the carving of that individual rune took place. "Intaglio Perthro...Intaglio Perthro...Intaglio Perthro...Intaglio Perthro..." Still like a sideways table...The one solitary line...and two 'v's on either ends of it, backwards...His tongue stuck out as he accomplished his task. "Intaglio Perthro...Intaglio Perthro...Intaglio Perthro..."

Perthro down.

Clearing his mind, Dylan waited for the next rune to come to him...Any of the remaining runes at all...The next didn't come as quickly as the others had...Actually took a few sluggish moments...but once it appeared, the Slytherin Captain nodded and began flipping to get more information on it.

Naudhiz..."Overcoming distress or negative energy. Development of magical will. Development of "spiritual" powers. Protection. Use of the force of "resistance" under will toward magical goals. Sudden inspiration. Eliminates hate and strife. Creates a need for order. Recognition of personal need. Love magic--to obtain a lover....To achieve long-term goals or help lost causes." He read from the textbook, nodding his head now and again. Seemed legit and stuff. That one could go near the center...with Berkano...Right, so...focusing the energy and awesomeness of his magic, the Slytherin BREATHED...and maneuvered his wand as he began to chant again..."Intaglio Naudhiz...Intaglio Naudhiz..." Dylan began with some force, itching to get finished with this part of the assignment. He was SO close. Just a little bit more..."Intaglio Naudhiz...Intaglio Naudhiz...Intaglio Naudhiz...Intaglio Naudhiz..."

It was a line with another, much smaller one slashed over its middle...and after the small slash had been added, Dylan was giving the whole galdr thus far looks. It looked pretty good, if he could say so himself. He'd been already working for an hour and half...Time well spent, though...

Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese

Dagaz flashed across his mind for the next rune to be carved and Dylan took a deep breath. He didn't have to look this one up...as it was one of his favorites...So, he reveled a moment in the face that it felt RIGHT to etch this one. Naturally he'd be doing it at some point since all the Elder Futhark runes were going to be present...but the time was now!

Dagaz was the start of a New Day...New beginnings, fresh attitudes, new opportunities...Everything about this particular rune correlated to his life at the moment. He'd been the one going out soon...and starting his life. It'd be a break from school and a totally fresh start out there in the real world...but he wasn't nervous or angry about growing up. These things happened. Truth be told...he was kinda excited...

"Intaglio Dagaz...Intaglio Dagaz...Intaglio Dagaz...Intaglio Dagaz..." He had his wand focused again, quickly, but efficiently working the rune into the top part of the galdr. It resembled a bowtie...kinda. "Intaglio Dagaz...Intaglio Dagaz...Intaglio Dagaz..." His tongue had made an appearance he had focused on the task at hand. Almost done....."Intaglio Dagaz...Intaglio Dagaz...Intaglio Dagaz..." Merlin, he always felt awesome after doing anything with this rune...Totally loved it...

There. Done.

NEXT.

Fehu...Yes, yes...'The Sending Rune'..and a 'Rune of Fire'...drawing the powers of the Sun, Moon, and stars...Definitely a strengthening rune, too. After chanting and carving that one into a bottom portion, Hagalaz quickly followed. 'The Evolutionary Rune' that could also stand for 'completeness' and 'positive influences'. That's what he was going for, anwyay. Energies would be focused towards the evolutionary principle....That one got carved into another bottom portion...Soon Raidho popped up...and Sowilo...They seemed to come right at the same time. Apparently his mind was a little confused between the two runes and wasn't too sure which should come first....Going with Raidho...Dylan was well aware of his meaning and interpretation. Safe travels and journeys...Yep, he was totally focusing on that aspect as he etched it into the wooden piece in front of him near a middle section...Safe journeys diffusing out into whomever used it...and with Sowilo...'The Sun Rune'...Reinforcing physically and mental strength...just like the sun does for everyone on a day to day basis. Like, energy, vitality....All things he wanted to introduced into his collection of magical properties...That got etched into the top of the galdr.

Dylan spied Algiz in his mind's eye after the previous two and took a deep breath. This one was also a favorite of the Slytherin Captain's. He enjoyed chanting it in lessons...and it was an attractive rune. Protection, defense, and communication with other worlds...It was going to join the runes near the top of the galdr...just because it's personal properties were so aligned with what he was looking for...

"Intaglio Algiz...Intaglio Algiz...Intaglio Algiz...Intaglio Algiz..." Wand steadied, Dylan was so pleased to be almost finished with this carving process. Looked like a three-prong 'Y'...So, its construction was simple. "Intaglio Algiz...Intaglio Algiz..."

Kenaz was next...and he got immediately excited about it. ANOTHER RUNE OF FIRE. The more gentle of the two, though...Also, it was a total creative rune. All perspectives of creativity, in fact. It meant other things, yes...but he was focusing its energy towards the creativity aspect. His galdr needed it...and it got etched near the center...but all things should center around creative forces...

Just EIGHT more...Dylan could totally push through and do EIGHT more. That number in general wasn't a big deal...Not overwhelming at all. Yep, classic self-pep talks going on here. He often did this, though...Positive affirmations for himself. Totally.

Trying to keep his momentum going, he recleared his mind so that he could get it ready to receive more runes...Which rune to do next? Come to me...Tell me which one....I'm waiting, brain.../POKE

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.

Jera! FINALLY, he'd gotten something. The runes weren't coming as fast now. It was like his brain was being more selective than before...and his feels for them were getting bored. NOT HELPING AT ALL. This was for his favorite class and his body would fall in line...because Dylan SAID so. So, get it together body and brain.

Jera, though...things about Jera that made it great... Dylan scanned the book entry on it...Enlightenment, peace, harmony...Harmony of all the runes currently carved into the galdr. Dylan wanted a perfect harmony among them, so they could work side by side in their individual power...Right..."Intaglio Jera...Intaglio Jera...Intaglio Jera..." Wand STILL in hand, he went about getting that bad boy carved..."Intaglio Jera...Intaglio Jera...Intaglio Jera..." He actually like this rune because it looked so Egyptian...It was clearly festive.

After finishing it...two runes passed through his thought process...Uruz....and Ehwaz....Okay...going with Ehwaz first. Sorry, brain....but it felt like the right choice. Ehwaz was also a rune he kinda loved because it was in his last name TWICE...and it looked like an ordinary 'M'. Super easy to carve. As for the energies he wanted to invoke, he'd be going with 'trust' and 'loyalty'. Dylan wanted this galdr to be a loyal galdr...because there was nothing more important than that. Not to him, anyway..."Intaglio Ehwaz...Intaglio Ehwaz...Intaglio Ehwaz...Intaglio Ehwaz..." He started carving the 'M' shape in earnest. First line....second line to the side a bit....and then the 'v' in the middle...Easy and simple. It was residing at the bottom...because all things needed to be built on it's foundation. He got started on Uruz right after finishing it, though..."Strength to clear obstacles and change circumstances..." That's what he wanted to be represented here...So, with more focus...and more concentration..he began chanting that one...and doing the carving with his wand...It'd be placed in the middle...just because it was going to look the best there.

Chanting.....chanting......chanting......

He went through the same chain of steps for the next four runes...The first of those being Gebo, the Partnership rune...and that was totally the energy he was going for. Partnership among all these very different and very powerful runes. After chanting and carving the 'X' shape...he moved onto to Inguz. 'Transformation of power for ritual use'...because it made the most sense to him...His galdr could be used in rituals. That could be awesome....After etching the lapsing side-'V' shapes, excitement started to settle in his stomach for some reason. It was hard to know where it was steaming from, though...

With Tiwaz that followed, Dylan knew exactly where he was going with it...He knew a great deal about the rune as a stand-alone...and just appreciated everything it stood for. 'Victory' and 'Success'..."Intaglio Tiwaz....Intaglio Tiwaz....Intaglio Tiwaz....Intaglio Tiwaz...." He began carving the arrow shaped rune with vigor. VIGOR. ALMOST DONE.

He could already feel some of the power...

Thurisaz...was meant for defense...and while he did have a great deal of power on the galdr already...there needed to be a good stand for protective. Thurisaz would handle that, clearly...Placing that one need the center, too...it was FINALLY time for the FINAL rune...and what better rune to end with than Wunjo! It was the rune of 'Happily Ever After'...and that was cheesily enough what Dylan hoped for this galdr. HAPPINESS. That's all he wanted...Fulfillment in all the areas...in all the runes for this...

So, FOCUSING ONE LAST TIME...he clearly pictured the 'P' shaped rune..."Intaglio Wunjo...Intaglio Wunjo..." Carving...carving.....carving......"Intaglio Wunjo...Intaglio Wunjo...Intaglio Wunjo..." Carving some more...

THERE.

DONE!

He needed a lute or something. And maybe some puffy trousers to be able to pull off this song. Keep it authentic, which made him kind of anxious for some reason. Not that he wasn't always slightly anxious for reasons that were his own to deal with and such. Yeah, but he wasn't anxious for the usual reasons. Nope. He was sort of anxious 'cause he had s a vision of loads of students all dressed up in period working on Shakespeare. That man was a genius and he TOTALLY would be into that. Maybe he'd go make a motion for a club or something anonymously. What? He couldn't have his name on that girly crap.

Brushing all thoughts of a drama club of sorts out of his mind, he focused back on his sonnet/song. It was whatever and felt kind of traditional, but he was thanking a tree and he hadn't gotten around to JUST that part yet, so he needed to write the thank you. He had six lines and 10 syllables per line to finish out a thank you. More then enough time. Billy Shakes had accomplished a lot more in less lines, but then again he was boss. And his insults were awesome. Smirk.

Glazing over his half-written song, Ascanius went back to work finishing it out. There was SO much camp in it, but he had no choice. He was writing a thank you song to a tree. Deadpan. Yeah, he had REALLY just said that and stuff. Lame. Then again, the Professor was ancient. It was to be expected.

Now he was going to finish the last bit.

He dipped his quill back into the ink and tried to focus in on what he needed to accomplish for this last round. Yeah, thanks and stuff. That was key. So he would start with that line of thought.

This merry tune is one of gracious thanks
For magic runes can not exist alone.
If offerings could come from golden banks
My gratitude would be riches unknown.

Dear Oak, from you I carve my Gandr rune
And from your hearth I hope to return soon.


IT WAS DONE. It was bad, BUT IT WAS DONE. And he seriously should invest in a lute or at the very least a hand drum. Bad, bad and more bad.

But the song was over with and he could be at peace with it finally.

Queen of Typos | The OTHER OTHER Roro | WICKED is Good

Today! She was going to turn in the assignment today. The runes were carved, and the gandr was reddened, smoothed and sealed. She felt very accomplished. The fact that she did all this by herself made her very proud. Like a lot. She might have thought of selling it because she had no use for it, but that totally changed. She still, of course wasn't using it but if they got to keep it she so was gonna do so. Hang it up in her room or something. The snake, had ideas about bragging about it already.

For the last step, Cassia marched into the room enthusiastically. She didn't want to hand it in late, so she figured to finish it up right away. Choosing a random vacant chair, the snake slid into it and started spreading the stuff she brought on the table. She wasn't yet sure of what she needed to add to her gandr but she had a couple of ideas.

She kept fiddling with the tools she had, she finally decided what she wanted to do. Reaching for an old mascara of hers and yanked out the wand leaving just the handle. Yeah, kinda destructive but there was a point from all this. And it was worth it. Then, she brought the gandr and inserted in the handle. It took time until she was able to get the gandr thought carefully. Luckily, she had intentionally chose a wide handle so the gandr would fit in.

Turning it over in her hands, Cassia made sure it was in place and wouldn't fall off. It did look nice, too.

With that, she was done and ready to hand the gandr in.

PHEW.

Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN

Returning from the most MORTIFYING experience of his Hogwarts experience, which did include the dementor attacks-- walking around a tree and singing to it-- Ascanius was ready to get back to the Dungeons and move onto the next step of his never ending journey for the Runes project. But this part was going to be difficult. He had to leave the Gandr out for a WHOLE moon cycle (pretentious way of saying a month) and work on it with each passing day so it would be in the BEST shape to perform the final part of the project. At least now the end was in sight, yeah?

Anyway, he brought it back up to the Slytherin Study Tables and sat down with it. Ascanius tilted his head at the thing so that he could get a better look at how he was going to go about tackling this project when he decided he would smooth this surface like a surf board.

Growing up in the home, he had gone on very few holidays with the Hughes and the other kids. But the most FREQUENT one that they went on was heading down to the water on a warm day and hanging out on the sand. It was close by and convenient, but also really fun. And he used to watch all of the people around who surfed smooth out their boards. They would do it with a sander...and that was what he was going to do.

So Ascanius went to work looking for a spell to transfigure something INTO a sander. But before he put forth all of that work he remembered that they had all been working on revamping the Common Room since the elves had gone AWOL. And they had been using SAND PAPER on the Common Room floors to smooth them out and clean them.

In that case, Ascanius went over to the cleaning supplies for the Common Room and grabbed some sandpaper. With it in hand, he slowly went to work brushing it up and down like Karate Kid on his Gandr. He tried to not do it too rough as if to hurt the wood, but put enough pressure in to make a difference.

....and he did this for several days for about five minutes each night.
