I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good--that's no lie. I totally do not understand this Runes stuff, and my parchment is complete rubbish from the start, and I've only got four inches.

Someone tell me the term's over and this is just a nightmare that I've still got to write this rotten essay.

Please?

Well, what do you have done so far? I've been writing on the difference between Ehwaz and Mannaz, and how if you get them mixed up in a standard runic incantation, it can really make things messy. Like give people horse's feet by accident.

I'd pinch you so you'd know it's not a nightmare, but I'm not in your room. Neville, would you do the honours?

I did. He whapped me on the head for it!

Sorry! Well, at least he knows he's not dreaming.

You know, that's a good idea, Ron. Write about everything that could go HORRIBLY wrong if you muck up your runes. Professor Babbling likes it when we take her dire warnings seriously, she'd probably give you extra points just for that.

Oh and I'll tell you what NOT to write about.

DO NOT write about how to use runes to cause lice and bedbugs and every horrid crawly creature you can think of to descend on Ravenclaw!

Because that might make her suspicious.

But you CAN write about how sometimes runes get out of hand and are very difficult to stop, because you've had some experience on that count!
