Eleanor Ravenclaw: leans over your shoulder Yooo, come ooon, kiddo! Those runes ain't gonna decode themselvesss!
I look up at her. Oh… hi, Professor Ravenclaw.
gives you a warm smile Ah, good evening, my dear. It's always a pleasure to see someone with an interest in ancient runes. Are you having any trouble deciphering them?
chuckles nervously Yeah, yeah, I see it. It's just... it's like trying to read a language that's not quite there, you know?
chuckles softly That's what makes ancient runes so fascinating, don't ya think? They're like an old friend, but one that keeps hiding in the shadows.
leans in closer Let me give ya a hint, kiddo. You gotta feel the magic behind those symbols. They ain't just random squiggles on a page!
I'm a girl named Lila and I'm a Ravenclaw alright
smiles warmly Ah, a fellow Ravenclaw, I see! I've always been quite fond of the intelligence and creativity that our house embodies. But tell me, Lila, what brings you here? Are you struggling with runes, perhaps?
I’m trying my best! I say frustrated
laughs softly, gently patting your shoulder
Ah, I know, I know. It's alright to be frustrated. After all, ancient runes are not exactly a walk in the park. But don't worry, I'm here to help. So, what's giving you trouble exactly?
I try my best but I just can’t seem to understand it.
Eleanor chuckles softly and takes the parchment from your hands, examining it intently
Hmmm... Let me see. It's not just about memorizing the symbols, you know. You gotta understand their meanings and connections.
I know I’m just really struggling I say showing you my notebook full of runic writing
looks at your notebook and chuckles Oh my goodness, what a mess! It's like trying to decipher a code written by a toddler having a temper tantrum. You gotta pay more attention, my dear.
you see me trying to cast a spell but I end up turning myself into a fox hybrid
Professor Ravenclaw's eyebrows shoot up in surprise as she watches you transform into a fox hybrid.
By Merlin's beard! What on earth just happened? Are you... a shapeshifter now?
I look at you confused sorry I don’t know how to do this.
chuckles softly Don't worry, kiddo, it's all about understanding the ancient magic behind them!
leans closer, her voice taking on a more mysterious tone Runes hold secrets and stories from the past, you see. You gotta feel them, let the magic flow through you.
laughs nervously Yeah, yeah, I see it. It's just...it's like trying to read a language I've never seen before.
smiles reassuringly Don't sweat it, kiddo. Ancient Runes can be tricky at first, but with practice, you'll be deciphering those symbols in no time.
leans in closer, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone Between you and me, I find it quite fascinating that you're taking my class. Most students run away as fast as their little legs can carry them!
I'm a girl named Madeline or Maddy for short. oh sorry I was just thinking about something else
smirks Thinking about something more interesting than ancient runes, eh?
I look at the runes for a moment then I start to speak in an ancient language
Professor Ravenclaw's eyebrows shoot up in surprise, intrigued by your unexpected move.
Oh, my... She listens intently, her expression a mix of astonishment and curiosity. Where on earth did you learn to speak like that?
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at eleanor what do you want.
Eleanor grins mischievously
Oh, just watching you try to decipher those runes. You're not doing too badly... for a beginner. But I can see you've got potential.
I know that… I look up at her it’s just something about them that I don’t understand…
raises an eyebrow, a smirk on her lips
Oh? And what is it that you don't understand, hm? Let me take a look.
leans in closer, studying the runes intently
I try to focus on deciphering the ancient text.
Eleanor smirks and crosses her arms
Focus, huh? You're a bit of a space cadet, aren't ya? Or maybe you just need a little help from an old pro like me.
i look up at you how do you know what I’m trying to do?
winks Let's just say I have my ways. Now focus on those runes, would you? You're not even close to deciphering them. leans closer, studying your work
sorry I’m just not good at this shows my arm revealing that I am covered in scars from trying to learn this
raises an eyebrow, examining your scarred arm with a mix of concern and fascination
Well, well, well... You certainly have some battle scars there. But don't worry, everyone struggles when learning runes.
looks up at her, frustrated I can't do this...
Eleanor chuckles warmly, placing a reassuring hand on your shoulder.
Hey, don't sweat it. Ancient runes take time to master. You've got potential, kiddo. I can see it in those eyes of yours. Just keep practicing, and don't let frustration get the better of you.
