Chapter 3
Harry had spent his last week reading his books, and talking to Tonks after his runs,
they had some interesting conversations, for example when she had first, er, "ran into him" Harry had to stifle the laughter at the thought.
FLASHBACK
"Harry i remember when i first talked to you" Tonks said "oh" Harry said "is it so hard to remember it was only last summer when you saved me from my relatives"
"no Harry we spoke at least once maybe twice before that,i remember the first time better because it was quite embarrassing;
i thought i was late to potions and was running down to the dungeons,turned the corner and bang, straight into The-Boy-Who-Lived, you asked why i was running and i answered then you said "well then don't let me stop you, but i'm going to lunch"
I wanted so much to disappear that i think that i metamorphed several shades paler"
Harry was laughing on the ground,when he noticed that she was looking at him he sobered up "i remember that... You were that cute blonde" she blushed and said
"you remember, yes i was that cute blonde."
END FLASHBACK
And some not quite so happy too
FLASHBACK
"Tonks just how well did you know Sirius?" Harry asked "not nearly as well as i would want to" was her answer "did you know him before he went to Azkaban?"
"Yes i knew him i was six at the time, he was my favourite cousin,he..he visited often and we even visited sometimes he used to stay with your mother and father"
here she stifled an sob and dried her eyes "i even saw you some times they were so proud of you, they are so proud of you all three of them Harry" here a sob escaped both of them
"oh Harry i didn't mean to make you cry"Tonks sobbed "s' all right, i haven't cried over Sirius yet, as a matter of fact i haven't cried since i was six" Harry sobbed back "can you tell me some more about them i know you were just six but you must know something" "ok Harry"
so tonks began telling Harry al she knew about his parents and Sirius in the end Harry wowed to himself to get a pensive to se some of these things maybe Remus would donate some thoughts.
END FLASHBACK
The rune books were surprisingly easy to read for him, it was a similar feeling to revising for a test he knew all of these things.
He just wanted to know how much he knew of them and Tonks got the idea to write an essay and correct it himself,
He was done with the history and reading and was starting on basic rune magic he wrote:
The most basic form of rune magic is making talismans, they are made by writing an bindrune on a piece of wood bone or stone (wood is neutral, bone are good for offensive magic and stone is good for defensive magic) bindrune is a rune that is made from two or more runes combined into one talisman does need the users blood the blood does not have to be magically charged.
Next in line is ward and shield making.
There are two ways of making wards.
One needs a circle laid with runes on the earth and often has a powering rune in the middle which shares the power it is not a ward of choose for warding buildings because it would need a enormous circle,mainly used for personal protection and sometimes for warding special space in a room, like in a lab, takes werry little time to make there for often called fifteen minute wards, does need blood and it may or may not be magically charged, the ward would be much more stronger if it is charged.
The other needs four or more corner stones placed in a circle(or a square) around the usually building that needs to be warded (ex:Hogwarts has 80 corner stones and Privet Drive has four", it can have a powering rune or in more powerful cases a crystal but some specific wards use blood of one or more people in the house while still in the body those people often have either limited control like in Privet Dr wards or major like in the Fidelius charm,if using powering rune it needs magically charged blood, no otherwise.
WARNING: if young wizard or witch is the powering unit or if its used for more than coupe of years it may appear like the person is malnutried and werry pale it can also dampen its magical core.
Third it is battle rune magic it can to be done in two ways.
First it's Talisman magic, in talisman magic you have to activate Talisman to attack or defend, Talismans can be activated by touch,voice,movement or for powerful legimancers thought or by simply drop blood at the talisman. A normal hang around the neck talisman doesn't need activation it is constantly active and you only need to put a drop of blood on it every couple of weeks.to make a activating Talisman you need to know what it's supposed to do then you need to make a activation megnism and thirdly you have to make a powering rune then you make a bridge between them it can be done with a trail of un charged blood or magically leading metal (gold or silver).
Air rune magic is mainly used for shields thou it can be used to send a burst of energy at the attacker and it can be used for elemental magic and summoning(below) it takes time and energy but is weary effective uses both bind- and normal runes, air runes are performed by drawing the runes in the air with your wand if you concentrate hard enough the rune will hover in the air, few people are known to have been able to do this without wand (mainly rune masters) and they often performed some kind of accidental magic, often small elemental outburst (volcano's are known to have erupted because weary pissed of rune masters).
Elemental rune magic is performed by writing in the air either the bindrune or separate runes of what element/s you wish to use and how its supposed to behave, like all rune magic this depends mainly on the will of the maker.
Summoning rune magic is to call a animal from some other place it is performed by writing the rune: Fehu first it means cattle there for animal (Ehwas(horse) works to but it isn't as strong) and then the elements of the animal and then focus on what its supposed to be.
The pros about this rather than just conjuring up an animal is that you can call upon much more complex animals than you can conjure also you can summon a magical creature.
The last and therefor hardest specific art of rune magic is using Spell runes they are one rune carved on specific substance with specific kind of ink and placed in a specific way for them to work, it can be written on animal skin of a specific animal, horn of an specific animal, a specific tree. And it can be written by blood of a specific bodypart (nipple, tongue, specific finger or toe),specific animal slaughtered in a specific way on a specific time (lunar circle, holiday), or saliva. A bindrune can be made by anyone but a spell rune has to be made by a rune master, these runes are weary complex and big so you have to write them down, many Norse spell books have been found by muggles they are often tiny skin books with runes and text written in secret letters.
Miscellaneous rune magic is either doesn't fit in any of these categories or in more than one that is portals, portkeys, rituals and even some alcemy.
WARNING: All rune magic is considered bloodmagic and therefor dark
Harry laid down the quill and began reeding through his work, he soon realised that the books he had got on the subject didn't cover even half of the stuff in his essay, he red a little more and... "CAN DAMPEN IT'S MAGICAL CORE".
