"Holy shit!" Draco muttered, staring at the book that had to translate. It was five feet tall, cover to cover, and three feet wide. "This is easy?" He turned to his companion, who was calmly looking around for the keys to open the book.
"A-ha. Good, now we can start." She looked over at Draco, her lovely, chocolate hair spilling over one shoulder. "There aren't that many runes, in fact there are only twenty-three, and they don't stand for concepts, merely letters. Later, those letters were adopted by the Greeks, then the Romans, than the Gauls, who were conquered by them, and then adopted as part of the Latin craze." At her companion's rapid blinking, she explained, in laymen's terms. "Geez, what does Binns teach? Alright, the Runes are to be translated into English. So, we have five historical alphabets to go through in order to translate, or to match the letters. "Got it, now?"
Draco nodded. "So, you know all these languages?" He was intrigued.
"Yeah, I got grounded way too much. Let me make a list and you can help me. You can also learn some non-denominational magick while you are at it." She smiled at him.
He was dazzled by the way her silver eyes sparkled like a legendary treasure. 'Damn. Why am i so attracted to her? She's only eleven years old; I'm sixteen, nearly of age. I can't be thinking of her that way. It's just not right.' He was pulled from his thoughts by Arachnia, who had placed her soft hand on his arm. Looking into eyes that were full of questions, at the same time brimmed with knowledge of what he hid.
"Draco?" Her musical voice washed over him, causing a sort of memory to come unbidden to his mind.

She stood there, staring out over the forest to the waves that crashed against the bluff, violently churning the sea. Her mesmerizing beauty was clearly, yet eartheally, defined by the silvery light of the Full moon. Though it was chilly on this Samhain night, this night when Ghosts could travel from the land of the dead to that of the living, her witch's robes fluttered gracefully around her legs. The material seemed as substantial as starlight. One word she murmured, that was caught by the wind and brought to his hearing. That word, which he had heard in his dreams since he had first gone off to fight, which her voice caressed so lovingly, so mournfully, called to his very soul. "Draconus."
~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ara." His own voice called out to the woman he had just seen. Though to one beside him, answered.
"Yes, Draco?"
He started a little, this wasn't the woman, and it wasn't halloween night. Shaking himself mentally, he gestured to the book. "We should get started on our punishment."
Arachnia continued to search his eyes for a moment, before accepting his change of attitude. "Ok, so here we have the two lists. Remember, the glyphs only show during a full moon, and they are backwards, in the book, as you also must read from right to left." Handing him a pen, she smiled mischeviously.
"Lord Above and Below." Draco muttered, in resignation.
