Then before she could settle down the Professor posed her first question.

She thought for awhile before raising her hand,"Some of the vegetables are related to the Ancient Runes like the meaning of Laguz is related to the leek."

"So I guess we're here to study some of the vegetables and how they are related to the Runes. "

... now there's an idea.

When Professor Dudebro asked his question, Dale looked stumped. But, you know, may as well try. He raised both hands in the air, along with the jar Well... he was comfortable holding it with both hands and all.

"Gardening?" he said, halfway between disgruntled and interested in the legit answer.

She gave the Gryffindor prefect a grateful smile, before heading back to the spot she had originally been standing in.

As for what they would be doing today, Ella didn't have the slightest idea. "Probably discussing runes, sir." The second year said matter-of-factly before realizing that was quite a dumb answer. OF COURSE they were discussing runes...this was an ANCIENT RUNES lesson after all. She really needed to retire her captain obvious uniform and soon.

Nigel really did need something to keep him warm because right now he was freezing. Even though he was dressed up warmly.

Hr walked over to where the jars of bluebell flames were and took one and immedialty felt better and most definitely warmer. Nigel then walked back to were he was and thought about what they would be doing today. They were in a vegetable patch in winter maybe that had something to do with the lesson, but Nigel did not know.

He would take a guess though, why not. He raised one hand and held the jar with the other. "Professor are we picking vegetables?". They were in a vegetable patch after all.

She listened to Professor Jenkins asking them to guess what they would be doing today, and she raised her hand. "I assume we're not digging up ancient vegetables to use as runes, so my guess is that we might be looking at different vegetables and how they relate to different runes, and complement each other. Er.. you know, certain runes might complement certain vegetables, and can be used to influence growth of the vegetables."

Yes, it certainly was a guess.

He noticed that she gave him a smile of her own and that was when Elijah KNEW he had her. She was totally infatuated with him. Wasn't it completely obvious? "Why thank you," he beamed, taking one of the jars she had filled and giving her a small wink as a reward. Afterall, his winks were so unbelievably amazing that they could be nothing but rewarding.

As he wrapped his hands around his jar to get some warmth, his bro Vickers turned up with an ickle Huffie. "Heyyyyy! Vickers!" he greeted, genuinely happy to see him. It wasn't often he met other guys who didn't act like toolbags around him because of their jealousy of his good looks. "And hello to you, too, Dale," he greeted, picking up his name from the pretty Gryffindor prefect. He sure hoped that that boy's stutter wasn't a permanent thing because he didn't even have to explain how unfortunately unattractive that would be.

His name was the next to come from her lips, and it wasn't surprising at all to him that she knew who he was. Most people did. They alwaysss had to know who the hot guy was. It had nothing to do with Vickers just mentioning it at all. Nope. "Kurumi? Wow. Pretty name! Almost as pretty as the person who owns it," WINK. Oh yeeeeeaaahhhh. He totally had her.



He had just been getting into prime flirtatious mode when the Professor decided he MUST start the lesson right at that moment. Talk about inconvenient. Way to NOT have a bros back.

Either way, he gathered around with the rest of his classmates and listened to the lesson begin. It started off with a question in regards to what exactly they might be doing out in the vegetable patches for a Runes lesson and Elijah hadn't a scooby. He only elected for this class to please his parents, remember?

Although, whilst he may not have a clue, Kurumi certainly seemed to. "What an incredibly good answer, Kurmui," he praised. Girls LOVED praise.

He decided to try and have a go at an answer himself, ya know, to try and impress the girl with his smarts. There was the slight problem of him not having many smarts to utilise, but it was worth a try. Raising his hand he offered, "Perhaps you would like us to try and see how Runes can be used in a more... er.... natural environment?" It didn't sound too awful, did it? Probably. But he tried. Might as well send her another GORGEOUS wink just incase.

...Really, he had no idea why he was being so annoyed with people lately...It wasn't her fault she'd gotten an owl.

Trying not to devote too much thought towards that girl...he looked towards the Professor. One thing he could say...Professor Jenkins was a pretty cool guy. That was one plus...

Not even noticing the chill, Dylan crossed his arms. What could they possibly be doing in a vegetable garden in the middle of winter...that involved Ancient Runes? "Are we blessing the vegetables or something?" Scratching his chin, he frowned. "Are we going to place protection spells on them so they're protected from...pests?"

It seemed legit.

She had to refrain from rolling her eyes at the Puffer who suggested they'd be studying runes today. Well, duh. Thank you, Sherlock Holmes. Although Sierra may not have the right answer, she thought hers at least showed some thought. She raised her hand. "Runes have the ability to make things in our lives better," she said, eyeing the runes around Jenkins' neck, "so maybe we're studying a way to use runes to make the vegetables grow faster and bigger, or maybe runes to help protect the vegetables from the weather or other things that can ruin them."

The jar did manage to keep her hands nice and warm, but the Gryffindor was wishing that she had remembered to bring her mittens with her.

When Professor Jenkins spoke, Kurumi almost reluctantly removed her hand from the side of the jar to raise it and venture a guess. "Runes can be very beneficial for gardening depending on the rune placed with what crop and in the direction that rune is buried in the ground," Kurumi began, remembering some of the research she had done during their assignment where they had to assign a rune to a professor. She had selected Professor Bentley and had stumbled upon more information involving gardening and runes than she had even imagined existed. "Perhaps we are going to be learning and practicing how to elicit runic properties when it comes to growing certain plants or protecting a garden - especially from the cold?"

Because Merlin knew that this vegetable patch was a center of chaos.
