As soon as you're up in the Ancient Runes corridor, you'll notice a bunch of big covered statues stand outside the classroom door. Professor Botros stands at the door with his hands folded on top of his cane, and his signature soft smile safely drawn on his face.

The classroom is neatly arranged as always; Desks are aligned in three long rows, an empty neat parchment is set on top of each desk. The professor's big table is on the small dais, and there are two small boxes on the floor nearby. The blackboard behind the professor's desk has the following writing,

Ancient Runes!

Ella could not even express how excited she was about this class because it was her favorite and Professor Botros was the best. She was feeling a bit bad about not stopping by his office yet, too, but she'd make up for that. Baking for Botros would be happening soon.

Noting the suspicious statue-looking things in the hallway, the seventeen year old raised her eyebrows but figured they'd be explained in time. Besides, there was a Professor in the doorway waiting to be greeted and Ella smiled big as she approached. "Hello Professor!" BEAM. "It's really good to see you. I hope you had a nice summer." And she passed him carefully, not wanting to knock him over or anything.

The captain grabbed a seat in the front and eyed the board and then the parchment before reaching into her bag for a quill. Name and year, right?

Quote:

Ella Bishop

TAP!

She had other things too for class, things they'd been instructed to bring. Wand, book, goggles, and gloves were organized neatly on her desk as she waited for class to begin.

Walking through the door, and nodding while saying "Hello Professor!" Tag made his way into the class and took a seat somewhere in the middle. Not all the way in the back where he could get completely distracted, but not in the front where the Professor could stare him down. Though Professor Botros didn't seem like that type of man.

Setting his rucksack onto the floor Tag glanced up at the backboard and saw its instructions. Easy enough. Getting out his quill Tag wrote onto the tag, heh.

SPOILER!!: Information

Done with that Tag simply tapped his wand onto the parchment and it well, turned into a desk tag. Heh for tag again.

Harron Peasley · 09-25-2013, 08:24 PM

Charlie nodded with a smile at the Professor as she passed him and entered the classroom, before taking a seat in the middle. You know, not at the front, but not totally avoiding the lesson.

~~Even though she really didn't like this subject. Maybe it had just been her fathers teaching.~~

Pulling her quill from her back, and leaving all of the other things she's been instructed to bring with her in it, Charlie scribbled her name on the parchment, before delving into her sleeve and pulling out her wand. Tap.

Charlie Czesanka, Fourth Year

And now wait for class to start, right?

Lissy Longbottom · 09-25-2013, 08:24 PM

Ok, Ancient Runes. Cool. Caleb could do runes, he was pretty sure. Uncle Alex was all about the runes and stuff, doing an apprenticeship or something right now to learn how to become a rune...prospector. Or something.

He took a seat near the front, pulled out a parchment, and followed the instructions to make himself a nice little name tag.

Ancients Runes, you can bet your pickle jars that Wade would be enrolling here again for his final year. Feeling quite happy after having his favorite breakfast, pickles on toast, he headed towards the classroom with a little pep in his steps after the Captain ahead of him. Heh.

"Hello again Professor," Wade beamed back at Professor Botros, whom he had quite a high respect for, "Had a good summer?" Afterward he shuffled himself in taking in the arrangement before checking the board. Name.. year. cool. Taking a seat after dropping his bag down near him he used the parchment to write out his name before giving it a good ol' *TAP*

Quote:

Wade Lars Elisabeth-Potter

While waiting he smiled softly at Ella and Tag who sitting not that far from him. This should be fun.. hopefully.

FearlessLeader19 · 09-25-2013, 08:31 PM

Ancient Runes sounded so...ancient. Adi wondered if he'll even like the subject. Runes sounded confusing and the fact that it was ancient didn't help. As he approached the classroom, he noticed an old guy standing at the doorway and besides him were some covered stuff. This had to be the Professor! And even he was...ancient.

"Hi, Professor!'' the first year said politely to the guy. Old people weren't so bad. Just as long as they didn't bore him. He proceeded into the room. "Hai, Captain Ella!' Hi Wade!' he called when he saw the older Badgers. Oh and Caleb! Adi waved to the boy whom he had met at the maze. He took a seat and read the instructions on the board. With his quill, he followed the first of the instructions:

So all he had to do was tap the parchment? Okaaaay. Adi did just that. "Wow!'' he muttered, quite impressed. No need for incantations there

hermionesclone · 09-25-2013, 08:32 PM

BLINK.

All these statues were... well... what was that about? Alec moved forward cautiously, his grey-blue eyes taking in each covered statue carefully. Yeah... this was confusing. And they hadn't been here last year, had they? He tried to think back to it but nothing came to mind so... yeah. He was going to say no. He'd be able to remember if they had been here, yeah? Right? ... Maybe.

But Botros! When his eyes landed on the Professor, the boy's face split into a grin and he headed over, casting his thoughts about the covered statues aside. "Hello Professor!" he said once he was near the door, "Hope you had a great summer!" Then he slipped past the man and headed into the classroom. The nearly empty classroom.

... Yeah... how had people gotten here so quickly?

The seventeen year old shook his head before heading over towards an empty seat near ~~three of his favourite people~~ the front of the class and sitting down. The boy looked up at the board, his hand reaching into his bag. The required items were taken out before he reached for the parchment. Right. Name tag. This was simple enough.

TAP. There. Awesome. He sat back and waited for class to start, his hand occasionally reaching up to mess with his hair. It was okay, right?

SweetPeea · 09-25-2013, 08:34 PM

Nicola walked down the corridor, heading towards the Ancient Runes classroom. Come to think of it, Nicola was not dreading it, because she quite enjoyed this class. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something about Runes just came pretty easily to the redhead. Not to mention, Professor Botros was quite the enjoyable Professor to be around. She wondered what he could be teaching today.

Once nearing the room, she saw a bunch of big covered things outside the classroom door. She stopped walking and raised an eyebrow at these towering things. Nicola approached one of them and almost grabbed the bottom of the cover to reveal what was being hidden beneath, until her eyes caught sight of the Professor. She quickly resisted the temptation and changed her direction walking towards him by the doorway. Nicola smiled almost instantly as she said in a rather calm tone, "Good morning Professor.." She bowed her head slightly, which made her think of Enre briefly, before walking past him into the classroom. She quickly picked a seat in the middle, towards the front. Getting herself comfortable, she noticed his written message on the board. She did as she was instructed and then tapped the parchment watching it turn into a desk tag.

She then leaned back in her seat, playing with her hair as she waited for today's lesson to begin.

DaniDiNardo · 09-25-2013, 09:03 PM

Alexa usually had to wait until she was inside to be intrigued by the lesson ahead but this time it would seem her source of future distraction would be outside of the class. The Professor was getting smarter. How was she meant to get sidetracked from the lesson and overly fascinated by the object when she was on the inside but the covered objects were out here in the corridor??

The Professor was by the statues. Was he going to stay out here...? Yeah...she wasn't so sure this new learning strategy would work...see...she'd find it harder to pay attention to him if she wasn't looking directly at him. Perhaps she'd just stand out here with him. Taking her education seriously was happening right now. She expected shoulder pats for this. Ahem.

Lex walked into the room, read the board, got out a piece of parchment then quickly scribbled on it.

Quote:

Name: Alexa Cambridge
Year: 4th
House: Gryffindor
Title in Class: I'm your favourite, next to Alice.

She tapped it and watched it become a name tag before walking back to the door, taking up a stand next to the Professor and BEAMing brightly at him. "Hello Professor! I trust you had a good summer?" Visual contact, very important. She would stand out here with him for the whole class. "I think mine was rather productive but I guess that depends on who you asked."

Cedric · 09-25-2013, 09:08 PM

Okay, Schuyler had heard from several people that this class was awesome. And apparently it was awesome because of the professor. So, the Gryffindor walked along through the corridor with a happy curiosity to her. Her feet slowed as she passed a few covered statues that were situated outside the classroom door. Were those always there..? Anyway. She continued her way on into the classroom, where her eyes soon fell upon their professor. Aww. He was old, and cute, and Schuyler smiled without realizing it. "Hello, Professor." She found her seat in the second row.

There was a sheet of parchment already set on her desk, and she looked to the board for guidance. Aha. Nametags.

She tapped the paper like she was supposed to and it turned into a desk tag. There. Now she sat back and crossed her ankles as she dropped her quill back onto her desk.

oh its Erik ok · 09-25-2013, 09:24 PM

Ancient Runes and of course the awesome name tags. Nigel loved names tags. Probably because he messed with them.Still if Botros did not know his name by now. Then something was wrong with his long term memory.

So Yeah Name Tags. Nigel sat down in a empty seat and got to work on his.

Perfect

So, Ancient Runes..

Claudette was remotely curious what this class would be lie here at Hogwarts, though she wasn't sure it was the good kind of curious. She had found the subject to be excruciatingly dull at Beauxbatons and wondered if there was any improvement on the interest value of the class at this school. Plus, she also wondered if she would be subjected to something crazy.. like a beard. She still wasn't so sure about that sort of thing at this point.

She slowed her steps as she neared the classroom, green eyes falling on the covered statue-like things in the corridor. Oh, and the professor was there too, just at the doorway. "Hello, Professor," she said cheerily, then walked past him into the classroom. They were supposed to go in, right?

The sixth year looked for an empty desk, sliding into the first vacant seat she could find. Lifting her green eyes to the blackboard, she quickly read the instructions then pulled out her quill and lilac ink. She carefully scrawled her name and year onto the parchment then tapped it with her wand, leaving the newly transformed name tag on the corner of her desk.

Ancient Runes once again! Kace remembered coming here last term. He liked the class plus the Professor was kind of awesome. Once he got towards the classroom, he noticed some of his fellow classmates were already there and plus other people from other houses. He smiled and then saw the professor near the front of the room. Kace smiled and waved, "Hello there Mr. Bostros!"

Then he took his seat and noticed once again he needed to fill out his name tag. Kace took his quill and started to write.....

He sat there quietly and wondered what they were going to be studying this term.

Sonea · 09-25-2013, 10:44 PM

A little awkward for the professor she walked toward the lesson. She was awkward because she still wasn’t comfortable after all what had happened, but… she didn’t wanted to skip this lesson, no, she was a Slytherin and Slytherins were strong! So when she walked toward the classroom she passed a… covered stature? Next she walked past the professor and she nodded to professor Botros while she walked past him. “Hello professor” said Sonea quick and walked further, trying it to avoid a conversation…

She found a desk where she could sit and saw that there was a parchment on her desk, and when she looked around her she saw on every desk. Curious what she needed to do with it she looked at the blackboard and saw that professor Botros has left some instructions. She grabbed her quill and started writing.

Next she tapped with her wand at the parchment and saw indeed that her parchment turned into a desk tag… Hmm, now she needed to wait, that was easy!

Anna Banana · 09-25-2013, 11:20 PM

As Sophie walked through the classroom door, she glanced up at the professor with an expression of wonder. Wow--he was old! She looked at his cane and wondered if it doubled as a wand. He could probably do some serious damage with that thing! "Hello, Professor," she said, and then she moved out of the doorway and went in search of a seat.

Ancient Runes sounded boring, but then again, so did Arithmancy, and they'd painted in there. Sophie slid into a seat and began the process of writing her name and year on the parchment. She wrote:

Then she tapped the parchment with her wand and watched it turn into a desk tag. COOL. That was at least one cool thing that had already happened in Ancient Runes. Then...there was silence. At least from Sophie.

Asher entered the room, excited to be at another Ancient Runes class. It was the last class he expected to like during his first year at school, and it surprised him that it turned out to be one of his favorite. He took a seat and noticed the instructions on the board.

Once he finished, he pulled out another piece of parchment and waited for further instructions.

The organized layout of the classroom only confirmed what Fern had surmised from the class notice. Professor Botros was a no-nonsense man, and Ancient Runes was a no-nonsense class.

Therefore, it only made sense that, after taking in her surroundings, the Hufflepuff gave a no-nonsense nod with a no-nonsense greeting, "Good morning, Professor," before taking a seat in the desk next to Claudette. Sending the Ravenclaw a small smile, Fern read the writing on the blackboard twice. Then, pulling out a quill, she filled out the parchment:

Surveying her work., Fern frowned a little; her name looked so boring without the normal little hearts dotting all the i's. But before she could give into the urge to make it super cute, the 11-year-old tapped the paper with her wand so that it could turn into a no-nonsense desk tag

Felixir · 09-26-2013, 12:55 AM

Ancient Runes was easily Tobias' best subject, possibly along with Astronomy. He should have gotten a decent amount of sleep the night before, and had totally planned to but when the night before, sleep just... hadn't come to him. Like nothing. Despite being tired, he hadn't slept a wink. Weeeiiirrrdddd.

Feeling exhausted, Tobias entered the classroom. He was still as happy as ever from his own perspective, but he didn't exude even NEARLY the usual amount of happy energy he usually did. Instead, Toby was jittery and twitchy, as though he'd been hooked up to an IV of coffee for a couple of days.

"Hi Professor," Tobias greeted Botros as he entered the room. His voice was slightly croaky and he sounded tired and his face had that not-slept look and there was no bouncing or loud chirpy voice but he still GRINNED and gave a salute, albeit a little salute, and went to sit at a desk as close to the front of the room that he could get.

Rubbing tiredly at one of his eyes with the heel of his hand, Tobias got out his things for the lesson, before writing his name and stuff on a piece of parchment, just like it said to on the board.

Adrienne walked into the classroom, her gaze focused on the book in her hand. She barely acknowledged the professor at the door as she walked in, just muttering, "Hullo, Professor," quietly as she read. She walked automatically towards a desk in the middle-ish area of the front row and sat down, still not even glancing up from her book. After a minute, when she'd finished the chapter, she pulled a blue leather bookmark out of further in the book, where she'd kept it, and stuck it in the page, closing the book quietly.

Finally, she looked up at the board, and to her surprise saw that there was a piece of parchment on her desk, which had previously gone unnoticed. Adrienne scrawled her name on it quickly, her handwriting rather illegible..

And now she was just supposed to- tap it? She frowned, but did so, and blinked when it turned into a desk tag. That was.... well, it was expected because that's what it said to do, but it was also kind of unexpected. How did that work?

Deezerz · 09-26-2013, 01:12 AM

He wasn't too thrilled about Runes class. Sure, they were important and stuff, and he even wore a necklace with the Algiz rune carved on a tiny square made out of fine oak wood. His grandmother had given it to him a week before coming to Hogwarts. Apparently he'd need protection here.

HA!

Nonetheless, he wanted to learn stuff...so here he was. And it was on his schedule. So...yeah. Stuffing a half eaten sugar quill into his bag Lucian noticed the professor already standing there. He saw nothing. "Nice day, professor," he greeted. Eyeing the covered statues he entered the classroom.

Taking a random seat the first year flopped. Oooh! His name was needed. With his quill he wrote his name down and tapped the parchment with his wand. Neat!

Now...why were the statues covered and what's inside the boxes? HMM?

amadshade · 09-26-2013, 01:19 AM

Astronomy Tora found interesting. Transfiguration Tora found interesting. Ancient Runes? Well that was still to be seen. Could you use an ancient rune in Astronomy? Or in Transfiguration? She sure hoped so... Either way she had to go to the class.

"Morning Professor" she said nodding to Professor Botros as she purposefully entered the classroom to take a seat in the far left corner (second to last row). Until she decided how she felt about this class she would sit towards the back. If she decided to like it, well then she would move up a couple rows.

Noting the message on the blackboard, she clearly wrote-

She was about to tap it and turn it into a namecard when she felt an artistic surge and dipped her quill in some more ink. She pulled the paper towards her and drew a little eagle with the words "Ravenclaw" in a circle around it right next to her name. There. Now she could turn it (Transfiguration!) into a namecard. Tada!

Cassirin · 09-26-2013, 01:46 AM

Ancient Runes was one of Mo's favorite classes. The subject was interesting enough, but it was Ab-Bot that really won Mo over, and he waved wildly at the professor as he entered the classroom and picked a seat near the front.

"Hey, Professor. Did you have a good summer? How's Feo? Can I walk him later?" Because Feo was basically Mo's. And Ella's. And West's. But that was pretty much the short list of who he was willing to cede ownership too.

He wrote quickly on the parchment before tapping it with his wand. The paper folded itself.

As Jacques walked past Professor Botros he gave him a polite nod in response to the mans smile -which he didn't want to force himself to return- and entered the class behind one of the talkative students, Marcus, who was Ravenclaws quidditch captain and swerved around the boy and his questionnaire to find himself a seat a bit secluded from the rest in the second row.

Yes he was told to make a friend but he didn't think there was a need to rush anything. Friendships weren't rushed. Right? He did as he was told and tapped the parchment.

Now that that was out of the way, and he had observed the rest of his classmates, he made note of the boxes and thought back to the statues which had been covered.

pundantic · 09-26-2013, 02:46 AM

Welp, Ascanius was not looking forward to this class at all. It was probably the slowest moving and most tedious class out of all of male Professors. That and he had to compose a song last term for a tree...

...he still wasn't over it.

Walking into the class with the usual chip on his shoulder that he possessed in every class, he slid into his seat without a word. Ascanius hoped he was making enough of an impression that it was apparent he and his pretty face didn't wanna be here, yeah?

So lazily he wrote down his information.
