SPOILER!!: Archer and Daisy

"Hello Archer. Sorry to disappoint. But you can have the rune cookies when the lesson is done." Yes, unfortunately she did need them to stay on task until the end. She was making the best of a bad situation and at least having the entirety of Puddifoots set aside for the lesson meant there'd be less external interruptions. She smiled encouragingly at Daisy as she sat down, joining her housemate. "Hello Daisy.".

SPOILER!!: Dorian, Nina, & Nettie

"Hello Professor Beryl" he greeted and gave a slight nod of his head to show that he had heard her. He wasn't hungry anyway.

He and walked over to one of the empty flowery tables nearby Sterling and Daisy who he both greeted and sat down. His blue eyes found the tin of cookies immediately but did not pick it up or sneak a bite. Instead, he pulled out his notebook and textbook from his bag and placed them neatly on the table together with a self inking quill.

Or, there may have been an entirely different reason all together. Either way, she wasn't sour walking into class for one of the first times all year.

She paused briefly after entering the shop to acknowledge Professor Beryl. Someone who she still was not incredibly fond of, but had garnered respect for over time. Without saying a word, however, she made her way towards the frilly tables to find a place to sit. She wasn't a fan of the Hufflepuff prefect, and so she swiftly avoided that table before choosing to sit next to an older Ravenclaw (Dorian).

He was cute and probably smart, too.

That felt like ages ago, but really, it had only been about a year...which was still ions in teenage time.

Her eyes scanned the shop, trying to find a spot to sit. The tables were too small for her liking. It was all too...intimate. She spotted Eiji almost immediately, and he was looking...extremely sour today. She wasn't quite sure she had the energy for that sass at the moment...she spotted Dorian sharing a table with Nina, though, and figured that might be a better option today. Her fellow Ravenclaw was usually pretty friendly.

She smiled at them and walked over, taking one of the seats at the table. "Hey!" she greeted the two as she sat down. Thank goodness they'd picked a somewhat larger table, because everyone was already sharing with someone and she didn't want to be sitting alone. Even if it was just a class, sitting in THIS restaurant, without someone to sit with her, just felt...pathetic. She eyed the cookie runes with a small smile. Cute touch.

"Hello Dorian. Glad to see you're in good spirits." And good manners too. At least he did not seem to shook up as some of the students certainly had been exhibiting with the mist and all. Yes they had left it behind now, but it was still disruption enough to send some of the children mentally spinning. She couldn't blame them.

Actually, Nina Castillo seemed to be holding up rather well too, at least she seemed rather the same as she had before the mist, despite having had a run in with it, which Carmine had treated in her capacity as healer. She was still keeping an eye on the girl - still expecting more from her.

"Nina. Good to see you." And glad she hadn't tried to drop the class given how much she clearly enjoyed the subject. "Nettie, welcome." Professor Beryl added as the Ravenclaw girl joined that table.

Yes, it was obvious.

SPOILER!!: Lucas and Stas

Lucas furrowed his eyebrows as he looked around the teashop. Uh. This was..... cute. That was the only word for it. Cute. He didn't really know how to feel about it because, well, it wasn't as loud as the Three Broomsticks - which was a very good thing, in his opinion - but he didn't really like tea.

He also heard that this was a where people came on dates, which....... yeah.

Ignoring how quickly his heart was beating right now, the Gryffindor wandered further into the shop and over towards an empty table. "Hello, Professor Beryl," he said, shooting her a smile before sitting down. The table was small and frilly but he wasn't paying attention to any of that. Instead, his eyes found the tin directly in front of him and, without a second thought, he looked inside to see.....

....... cookies? Cookies. Cookies with rune designs on them.

Now that was cute.

She’d figured the professors, especially the headmaster, had plans, and questioning those weren’t advisable given all the tension given the evacuation. The need for evacuation, for which she was almost sad she was graduating at the end of term. She wouldn’t know if the younger students got to go back to the castle in September, unless she stayed in touch with her ickles. Granted, she’d already resolved to do that, but still, it wouldn’t be the same.

Plus, she hadn’t really been back to Puddifoot’s since Koen had graduated, so it felt odd walking over to the tea shop. In her uniform as if she was simply walking to the Runes classroom. It was all sorts of odd, even without the knowledge that everyone else was also likely feeling the strangeness.

“Hello Professor Beryl,” she said, giving the woman a smile and a slightly curious expression as she entered the shop. Hopefully the shop didn’t suffer with not being able to sell things while they were there. She figured it had all been situated, though. Hopefully. The question stayed unasked as she made her way over to sit at the table Lucas was sitting at, giving the younger boy a smile too. She wanted the younger students to know she was there for them, too. In case they didn’t.

"Hello Lucas." Professor Beryl greeted in return, noticing the boy check the tin, a twinkle in her eyes. "You can sample them after the lesson, you'll be needing them during. Hello Stasya." She added, greeting the Gryffindor prefect as she joined Lucas.

SPOILER!!: Gunnar and Eiji

If he didn't think it could get any more crowded with doubling up dorms, he only had to wait until trying to fit an entire school at the Three Broomsticks. Personal space was a precious commodity.

But he put on a polite smile as he greeted the professor with a hello and turned to find a seat. He enjoyed Ancient Runes and maybe stretching out a bit in a new location would put him in a better mood. The Slytherin found an empty table and sat down, glancing at the tin of runic cookies in front of him. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.

Nope.

If it were not for the fact that he genuinely enjoyed the study of runes, Eiji would not have even left his bed this morning. Despite earlier lessons having their unappealing qualities, he still was not keen on how much time had been spent on these arbitrary personality traits and their pseudo associations with runes, he was compelled towards the subject and its general practicality. But there was nothing, nothing practical about this location. It was torturous and for reasons far deeper than its obnoxious aesthetic.

Barely able to make eye contact with the healer, his dependency on calming draught being something he was rather ashamed of, he entered the establishment with much reluctance.

His chest feeling more and more hollow with each step, the fourth year looked for an already half occupied table to seriously dwindle his chances of things becoming more complicated than they already felt. Which meant he was going to move as far away from Nina's location as he could manage. Even on his good days he could barely handle how she conducted herself in lessons - today he would combust with the slightest pseudo feminine charms.

Which was why he slid into the seat beside Gunnar. It felt the safe option.

......even the cookies were unwanted irritants of astronomical proportions.

"....these better serve some functionality," he grumbled to himself as he pushed them further away from himself.

"Hello Gunnar, hello Eiji." The professor greeted both Slytherin boys with a welcoming, warm smile. She noted the somewhat... moody aura that Eiji was sporting, but she didn't draw attention to it or make any comment. It was fine, her own fifteen year old son was a master of such moods too. It was best to just leave them to it unless it got in the way of their learning.

Hogwarts or Hogsmeade, it didn't matter: it was just trading one prison for another. All that had changed was the scenery. She was still stuck in a place she hated with people she hated even more, and she was sick of it. She needed her space! How much longer until the end of the term? She just wanted to go home!

As she entered the tea shop, Tina felt a wave of disgust at the decor. Eww, everything was so frilly! Well, beggars can't be choosers, she supposed. No point in complaining. "Hello, Professor Beryl," she greeted politely, giving a nod of acknowledgment as she passed. She almost chuckled at the professor's words. There was no need to worry about her ordering anything off the menu. She wasn't a big fan of the sweet treats the tea shop served. and besides. she hadn't the money to order anything even if she wanted.

Tina took a seat at the least crowded table, taking care not to come into contact with the frilly decorations. For now, the cookies went unnoticed, as all her attention was on the Professor as she waited for the lesson to begin.

"Hello Tina, I'm glad to see you." Carmine said, greeting the girl with a warm welcome as she took a seat. Yes it was true the decor wasn't for everyone, but at least it was safe and quiet and warm, and they could take their time to focus on the lesson at hand without distraction. Or at least, with as little distraction as possible.

-------------

Once a few more students had arrived and taken their seats, Carmine welcoming them all by name -first names now that she was better acquainted with them all- she addressed the classroom.... err.... teashop at large.

"If you haven't peeked into the tins in front of you, perhaps you'll be interested to note that there are cookies inside, but they aren't just cookies c they are runes. You'll be using those today, and when we are done you may take your cookies with you to share with friends, or if you want to continue using them for runework they should last you through your exams." She expected them to be eaten though, really, these were teenagers, and those were delicious sugar cookies.

"Today we are continuing our work with runecasting. Your practice with runic correlations should be helpful for you with interpreting rune readings - I expect to hear all of you making the effort to find deeper, more thorough meanings in your readings, rather than simply taking a rune at face value." They were expected to think and marry creativity and logic in their interpretations, which was why she had been challenging them with different runic correlation systems.

"Firstly, let me reiterate, runecasting is not fortune telling. It is not divination as per what you study in that subject. Runecasting makes use of the subconscious of a magical individual. When you cast the runes, you are not seeing the future, you are examining cause and effect and drawing conclusions about the most likely outcome. This means that what you discover when you read the runes is not set in stone: it is mutable and changeable. It is a process of magical evaluation." Professor Beryl explained, pausing for them to take whatever notes they wished in their rune journals.

"When you pose a question for the runes to answer, your conscious and subconscious mind focus your intent toward that question. The runes themselves are the channel through which you receive your answers, and the spread in which you draw out the runes is helps you frame the question and interpret your results. If you like you can compare these three elements to casting a spell - you need your intent for that just as you need your focus when casting runes, you need your wand just as you need the runes, and you need to make use of the most appropriate runespread, just as you must use the correct wand movement in a spell." So all three aspects were important.

"For those of you who are more science-minded, runecasting makes use of understanding the human psyche, cause and effect, and the interconnectedness of all things. If you wish to boil it down as such you may consider it a form of psychology in that sense. Today we will do a simple three-rune spread, and you'll be expected to choose a more complex spread to work on for homework. Before we get started with the runecasting, I have a question I'd like you to all consider. What external factors do you think might have an influence on the effectiveness of your runecast? What do you think you can do to account for these influences or minimize their effect?" There were so many possible answers, she was interested to hear what they thought.

ooc: the lesson has begun - if your student is late at this point they will be in trouble for it, so if you want to join in just go ahead and post as if they were already here! Students should be taking notes on what the professor has said, and should also be answering the posed question. Any questions, please PM me! We'll be moving on in around 18 hours.

Alas, this was going to be one of those aforementioned lessons. "Hello, Professor Beryl," she greeted, choosing a table near the windows. And trying to completely ignore the doilies. Also, what? They weren't allowed even a snack? "Aw." Because that was the only thing she liked about this place, the food.
