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.

What about our names?

[[I DO CONFESS IT! XDDDD]]

Ah, I will clarify that. The year you will be in the fall.

[brilliant-osaka.livejournal.com]

Hai, and our names?

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

*notes it down* Thank you, Mr. Hyuuga.

[brilliant-osaka.livejournal.com]

Should we use our names now or next fall?

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

*glad of that -- wasn't certain he'd get any seventh years* Well, thank you, Miss Arisawa.

[flyingfreedom.livejournal.com]

Oh..thank you.

[brilliant-osaka.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Well, then, what's the problem!?

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Are you familiar with its alphabet?


[[Whew. XD]]

[brilliant-osaka.livejournal.com]

...So which should I use?

[flyingfreedom.livejournal.com]

Somewhat. At least, enough to put simple words together such as "How do I return to Cairo?"

[brilliant-osaka.livejournal.com]

[[XD It's not that hard; it's phonetics based, so that's helpful. :)]]
