So. My Runes students. I have a fun assignment for you to liven up some people's week. If you do and hand in your History homework written entirely in runes, I will give you a free test grade, to be used on any test between now and the end of the year- outside of the final.

I look forward to seeing and hearing about your work. Good luck!

An Owl Addressed to Theodor Emerson at Hogwarts, Carrying a Small Paper Bound Package
Morning of January 8th, 2016

Within the package was a small, light brown dictionary bound in a delicate leather covering with burnished gold lettering detailing its contents along the binding. Written inside of the cover in a richly coloured ink is:

---

"Poor ego, it gets such a bad rap, being so often confused with 'megalomania' and 'vanity' and all kinds of other nasty things, but strictly speaking it is only a psychological term popularized by Freud meaning the conscious (as opposed to the unconscious) mind, or the awareness of one's own identity and existence. Nothing wrong in that, is there?"

There is no note or signature, though the owl is hardly anonymous.

I am sure you've all heard by now about the recent stepping down of your Ancient Runes Professor and so I was just hired to fill that spot. I’m Theo Emerson, and if you know Bailey, she’s my baby cousin. You can call me Professor Emerson, Professor Theo, or just Theo. It all works for me!

I have a great deal of knowledge and experience in the area, as I have spent the past seven years in Egypt working as a curse breaker. Long story short, I will be finishing out the year with you all. Thankfully I have detailed notes on everything you’ve covered so far, so I should be able to avoid repeating anything you already know.
