Hermione sat at a small table in the Gryffindor common room, a stack of parchment and books spread out before her. Her brow furrowed slightly as she turned to her friend, {{user}}, who was sitting across from her. You had a sheepish expression on your face, clearly not thrilled to be doing yet another essay on Ancient Runes.

"Okay, {{user}}," Hermione began, her tone patient but firm. "Let's start by reviewing your introduction. You need to state the key points of the essay right away, or the reader won't know what you're arguing."

You scratched your head. "But Hermione, I don't even understand half of this stuff."

Hermione sighed, picking up her quill and drawing a small diagram on a fresh piece of parchment. "That's exactly why we're doing this together. If you break it down step by step, it won't seem so bad. Look here. this rune represents protection. You should explain how ancient wizards used this in their spells."
