ANCIENT RUNES SIGN-IN SHEET

As a wizard, you will be using runes and symbols in everything from Transfiguration to Astronomy, Divination, and Potions; your skill at inscribing them correctly might make the difference between a successful spell and a rather messy demise. If you are entering your second year, or will be taking Ancient Runes as an elective in the fall, reply here with your name, House, upcoming year, and any languages or writing systems with which you have at least a passing familiarity.

*add-in note scrawled between the lines* Sign-ups will be open until a week before next term.

--Professor Robert Bainbridge

Among other texts, I will be assigning Wright's White Rites Rightly Writ with its accompanying workbook. It's updated every year, so the request has to go in early. When we have a general idea of the class's population, please let Flourish & Blotts know how many copies they should acquire, and also order seven extra ones for the school library in anticipation of those students who will inevitably manage to destroy their own.

[[Guess who's a sucker for Ancient Runes? :D If Bob taught here before, he might think she's familiar. Do as you please. <3]]

Thank you, Miss Haruno. I take it, then, that you have had more than the mandatory year of Runes?


[[Alas, I'm giving him a clean slate at Hogwarts. But since she loves the library so much, she might have come across his full name in various historical texts.]]

Every year since second, sir. Having OWLs this year, as well...

[[Ditto! She's amazed! BUT WON'T SHOW IT!]]

Really. I'm glad to hear it. In that case, I shall review your scores with interest. It is rather gratifying to find a student deliberately pursuing one's subject.

[former-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Ah. Thank you, sir. I find it a challenge and intriguing.

Good. *is starting to look forward to the coming term*
