Except for the fact that it was.
Very cool.
COLD.
As he arrived, Dale looked at the Professor with a quick glance. He'd never REALLY met him before; last class he'd just kept his head down and... yeah.
So, with a quick "Hey sir," through chattering teeth, he looked over the class and spotted one other boy he vaguely recognised. So he went to stand next to him. Because... girls were, you know, girls.
"Bloody freezing," he hissed to nobody in particular.
The cold.
WHYYYYYYYY?! Really now. It wasn't THAT cold. Of course he had taken the necessary steps to keep warm. "Hey." Oliver nodded his head at the Hufflepuff. Quote:

Picking up the first jar with her none wand hand, Kurumi pointed wand inside it and promptly produced the blue flames before setting the jar down and picking up the next one. Having practiced this particular spell since she was a first year, it was one of the few that Kurumi had been able to perform nonverbal. Kurumi continued to fill jar after jar until each one was glowing with a brilliant blue flame. He watched the Gryffindor Prefect for a moment as she worked quietly off to the side. "Thank you Miss Hollingberry." She would be rewarded. Quote:

That certainly seemed like a refreshing change cause there would less likely be a giant tree for anyone to tease her about her fear of heights. She soon arrived at the vegitable garden as toasty as when she left the castle but the plants did not look too good. She sighed as she passed by the professor and said, "Good day sir", and then took a place standing with the rest of her classmates. Perhaps they would be doing something to help the plants survive this harsh winter. One could only hope. Quote:

It was beyond her why teachers thought it acceptable to teach in these conditions.
"Hello Professor," Kat said through clenched teeth as shivers ran down her spine. Too cold. Why did she have to come out in this weather? Ugh. She quickly walked away and stood on her own away from every one else. Because being sociable really wasn't her thing! AT ALL! Quote:

She was wearing an extra warm woolen scarf that kept the chill from her skin. "Hello Professor Jenkins," she greeted her Professor. Where did she... sit? She shivered slightly as she looked around, trying to spot something that would make her realise why Ancient Runes was outside. Instead, however, she inhaled the lovely fresh air with a smile. "Hello ladies." Oliver watched the three girls take their place and he had to hide the small chuckle that came from his mouth. His students needed to toughen up. Quote:

Wearing his woolly gear, the first year made his way to the vegetable patch. Kind of an odd place for an Ancient Runes lesson.
What were they doing? Painting runic images on plants then watch to see which one grew fastest? Probably. Folding his arms as he got there, Theodore managed a simple, "Hi, professor." "Hello Theo." Yes he remembered this boy from last class. Quote:

Well, this was certainly something new.
With lots of layers on and a fluffy scarf around her neck, Nora made her way outside, right into that... freezing coldness! "Hello, professor," she said as she reached the other students and, after a quick smile at professor Jenkins, the girl tightened her coat around herself. She was cooooold. Brrrr. Quote:
Originally Posted by Meizzner Nigel did not like being outside in a cold vegetable patch, when he could be inside where there is heat. But he had to be for Ancient Runes, so he put on his best warm clothing and made the walk to the vegetable patch.
Nigel wondered at first why they would be doing a lesson here in December but it did not really matter to Nigel. "Hello Professor". He said as he looked for where to stand or sit. Quote:
Originally Posted by TakemetotheBurrow Ella walked to the Vegetable Patch, pulling her coat tighter around her as she went. It was quite freezing though she enjoyed Ancient Runes so she was trying not to let the weather get her down. When she arrived, she gave Jenkins a cheerful smile. "Hey Professor!" She greeted with a wave. The second year then went to stand off to the side, wondering what they might be doing during this lesson. "Hello. Nice to see you today." he said cheerfully. At least they were making an effort to appear happy to be here. Quote:

Strangely enough the current Ancient Runes lesson was to be held outside, so Elijah made sure to wear his finest winter robes so that he looked smart AND drop dead gorgeous as well as a bit shivery.
As he approached the vegetable patch, he noticed the Gryffindor prefect off to the side a bit, charming flames into empty jars, non-verbally no less. He hadn't quite noticed it before, but she was rather attractive. Not as attractive as himself, of course, but he was certain that if she were to be seen standing next to him, he would only add to her own attractiveness. He was such a giver.
Continuing onward, he eventually found himself standing in front of her as she concentrated on her task at hand. "Whyyyy, hey there," he flashed her his charming smile, "What're you doinggg?" It was obvious what she was doing, of course, but girls loveddd to be asked obvious questions so that it would give them an opportunity to talk. To talk to the most handsome guy in Hogwarts, that is. Oliver's eyebrow raised as he watched the cocky young Hufflepuff. It reminded him of how he was when he was a teenager. But he would of had a totally better pick up line than that.
But then what do you expect from a Hufflepuff? Quote:

Why did they have to do this lesson outdoors rather than indoors where she could climb a tree?
"Hi-i-i-i Professor," Addie said through chattering teeth. It was freezing outside. "Ummmmm. W-why are we out in the freeeezing cold? My b-body doesn't keep heat well." She asked stating the fact. It was very true after all. Since she was small her body didn't keep the heat it was supposed to. There were many problematic things that her short and petite body caused. "It's cold?" Oliver gave her a slightly amused look. "I hadn't noticed." He left her question unanswered, she would find out soon enough. Quote:

Dylan was oddly excited about this. He was beginning to enjoy these outdoor classes. The fresh air had been doing wonders for him...Even though he still didn't really appreciate the study of Ancient Runes.
The Slytherin was coming to terms with the fact that there were some things he'd never fully understand...This was just one of those things. Not to say he wasn't still going to attend classes. There was really nothing else to do. So, the lessons and lectures were a nice distraction from utter boredom!
One could only play the guitar so much...
"Hello, Professor." Quote:

Thick robes were worn and his multicolor scarf was wrapped around his neck to keep out the chill as he made his way onto the grounds when the time was right. Even then it was a good thing he was used to this type of weather having grown up in Britain's northern country.
Finally he was at the patch and spotted the professor as well as the students who had already made it there including Kurumi who appeared to be assisting the man. "Good day Professor," he greeted with polite nod as he moved into the group and stood off to one side. The prefect wasn't sure the reason for the switch in locations other then the connection to nature but he figured it would come out at some point. "Hello Dylan. Prefect Gert." Oliver inclined his head to both boys. Quote:

Knowing it would be a cold day out, she put her Slytherin scarf on and her coat. She never did well in cold. Whenever she was in the cold she felt like she couldn't move. That was probably because she discarded the cold and always kept warm. When she was satisfied she would be warm for the lesson and had everything, she headed to the Vegetable Patch.
When there she hugged herself, keeping the coldness out. Many may think she was being weird, but she was cold, deal with it. At the entrance of the Vegetable Patch she smiled at Professor Jenkins. "Hello Professor, how are you today," she asked. He gave the youngster a warm smile. "I am well and how are you?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Hermione--Granger Emmaline wondered why in the world Ancient Runes would take place in the vegetable patch. Being accustomed after all these years to the cold Scotland weather, she had wrapped herself up in a Gryffindor scarf and beanie, her hands chilly in the cloak pockets. Oh well, she liked Ancient Runes, it'd be worth it. Apparently the cold had frozen this one's lips together. That's the only thing he could think of as to why he would get not greeting of some sort.

Still skipping as she came to the garden, she smiled up at the Professor and cheerily said Hello Professor Jenkins, wonderful day isnt it! Nerida was used to the cold, the Ravenclaw only had on her normal attire, no jacket, no scarf, nothing to shield her from the cold and even her robe was drapped over her bag. Still smiling but no longer skipping she looked around and saw Kurumi was putting some bluebell flames into some jars...Oh right not everyone liked the cold like her! Now this was what he liked to see. Oliver waved back to the Ravenclaw. "It is a glorious day." he agreed. Quote:
Originally Posted by Hermione Lily Potter Lily had managed to remember to bundle up before the Runes class, wearing her regular robes along with a heavier jacket, though it still wasn't quite enough for the whole class period. So she was shivering as she made her way down to the vegetable patch. Once she got down to where the class was being held, she smiled to the professor. "Hello Professor Jenkins... Kinda chilly today, don't you think?" She said before making her way over towards where the majority of the class was standing.
Anything to stay warm in this weather... "No, not really." He was still casually leaning against the fence with his arms folded across his chest. Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana Sierra walked, quite slowly mind you, out to the vegetable patch. She hated Ancient Runes. Not because of Jenkins, though. It was because of the subject itself. She had to admit, though, that it slightly intrigued her that class was being held at the vegetable patch. She tried to think of any connections between it and the subject, but she never could come up with anything. Maybe her mind just wasn't in the mood for thinking right now. She'd save that for class.
Walking into the area class was being held at, Sierra looked toward Jenkins. "Hello, Professor," she said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Magical Soul Wrapped in three layers of clothes along with a hat and a scarf, Louisa trotted all the way down to where their 'first' Ancient Runes lesson was taking place. She really wondered why on earth would they go OUT for Ancient Runes... the professor showed exceptional skill at creating a greenery scene of their classroom last term so... what was the deal exactly?
Wiping her nose with her tissue she approached the class and nodded her head at the professor, "Good day professor Jen-"ACHU! "Sorry.. professor Jenkins," she tried again. The tonic potion she'd gulped down should work in a few minutes, no worries. Another eyebrow raised. She was sneezing already? "Prefects Greingoth and Carter. Nice to see you both." He gave the Ravenclaw another look. Well so long as she stayed near the back. He didn't want any germs. Quote:
Originally Posted by Owl Waful didn't care much for this time of the year, with its cold and its grey skies and its white stuff that covered the ground. He didn't stick out as much when there was all this white, and how could all the girl and boy persons appreciate what an awesome owl he was if he didn't stick out as he rightfully should?
But even so, he flew towards the castle grounds, flapping his impressive wings as he quickly approached the place where the girl person he was meant to deliver this letter to would be. And even though the grounds were big, he found the girl quickly. He was that awesome.
Waful flew lower and lower until he landed there on the ground beside the girl person, the package and attached letter laying on the ground just beside him, still tied to his leg.
"Hoo." Untie your stuff, girl person, and give us a treat. Before Oliver even had the chance to start the class an owl swept down amongst the students and landed next to Miss Hollingberry. He let out a small sigh. "Okay, hurry up and sort out the owl so we can get the class started."
His gaze went to the rest of the class. "Alright then." he said finally unfolding his arms and pushing off the fence. "For those of you who are cold. Miss Hollingberry had kindly placed some blueblell flames into jars. Go and grab yourself one. I don't want to hear anymore complaints about being cold. You older students really should have this covered already." Surely they knew how to do a hot air charm at least. "And once you have yourselves sorted, can anyone hazard a guess as to what we will be doing today?" This will be interesting.
