So, where could he sit? On the grass? Or those logs over there? Naaah! The grass for him, please! Without further ado, the boy pulled up a patch of grass and made himself comfortable, sitting cross legged.

Botros liked excited kids in the morning. "Good morning!" Just as excitedly. And the boy didn't mind sitting on the hearth!

Cassia left and headed out the castle as the note said. Outdoors lesson, that seemed promising. Once outside, she looked around until she found professor Bortos. Wow, she came early. Totally unintentional. She thought of having a walk around while the others came but then decided against it. How'd she know when they started. Plus it might not be approved by the old man. Hopefully, her classmates won't be late.

"Good morning professor," she greeted the man stepping closer to him.

He waved at the young Slytherin, "Morning, dear!"

Hopefully it'd be a practical lesson.

Theo made his way over to Botros and he stopped next to Cassia. "Morning, Professor Botros." And he looked at his friend, too. "Hey."

He nodded and smiled at the Prefect, glad more students showed up in time and not wearing their clothes inside out by accident. "Morning, Prefect Kingsley."

"Hello Professor Botros," Kat greeted the old man with a smile and went to find a place. Why were they outside instead of inside, by the way? Fresh air? The Head Girl sat on the grass and waited for the others to come in.

So... yeah. Last Ancient Runes class. How sad.

"Morning!" He replied enthusiastically, taking a moment to remember this was the girl's last chance at absorbing runic knowledge unless she took it later in WU. Oh sad.

She noticed that Adi was there. Of course he was there! She took a seat as far away as she could from him. There was no way he was going to make her bad mood any worse!

Botros nodded at the Slytherin warmly.

ooc: please note that the class is held outside, not in a classroom, as stated in my first post.

No uniform... not a familiar face. The foreigner student received a soft look from the old professor in reply to his nod. Poor kids must be feeling out of their zone in this new school, surrounded by unfamiliar classmates.

Dude was the best.

Speaking of Botros, there he was. "Morning Professor!" BEAM. She was excited for class, y'know? Runes was definitely one of her favorite subjects. Plus these classes were always interesting, always enjoyable, and she always learned something new.

People got smiles. Like Adi and Theoman and Cassia. She wasn't exactly a fan of the Hannah girl considering Sophie reasons so no eye contact there and the other dude got tentative looks because she was still suspicious for reasons. Finally she settled down in the grass by Kat, her blonde-student leader-sometimes keeper-buddy. "Hey!"

"Good morning, Captain Bishop." Botros smiled at the Hufflepuff and let her take a seat on the grass.

"Hello Professor," he said with a smile as he settled down on the grass near the front.

He waved at the little Slytherin, "Morning!" What a smart kid, bringing a cardigan to an outside class.

Granted she eventually nailed the hex but now her eyes were burning. Who's bloody brilliant idea was it to have morning wake up time at 6?? Was that even legal??? Pfft, like that ever stopped the school before.

Alexa barely managed to grab a bite in the Great Hall--she overslept OKAY?? And no one not even her lovely Captain had bothered to try hauling her out of bed. See the problem here??? Good thing she had her sweets and the right incentive to be here. Violent this subject was violent and she LAIKED it.

Lex found the others through some squinting and zombie movements. Before midday, everything was too much expectation for the Gryffindor. Her summers were lovely you know, because she could sleep til 12, but here. No such luck with that here. The Gryffindor zombied over to her friend who was standing by the Professor and leaned her head against her shoulder before giving a soft yawn. "Hey Cass, g'morning Professor. Up nice and early, aren't we?" Hint hint nudge nudge the girl was SLEEPY!

... hmmm. It was obvious this lioness had a long night prior to today's class. Botros gave her a small smile, a cautious one though, "Good morning miss Cambridge. Nothing is more beautiful than an early spring morning." Besides, the kid should've adapted herself to his class by now, he always had them in the morning.

Though she had many things to look forward to she also was starting to have a harder time believing the end was getting so near.

Turning she gave her usual glare towards a certain foreigner before finding a spot in the grass. Somewhere she could keep a good eye on things, but be able to listen and stay focused on the lesson. With NEWTs coming up she had to get all the extra focus in she could. No reason to slack now, nope she had to start forcing more studying. Making herself comfortable in the grass, she pulled out her quill and parchment to get ready for the lesson to begin.

Another grass sitter! Botros smiled at the Prefect, "Good morning, Prefect Wheatborn."

Ves tried to put on a happy face, though, determined not to let whatever her mood was dictate her 'lesson experience'. Besides, Professor Botros had a kind face...even if Runes were like ancient Chinese to her; not understood and frustrating.

"Hello, sir." A mild blush accompanied her greeting.

The shy Ravenclaw, he remembered her from his lessons this year, got a lot to learn. And that was a compliment in this professor's book! "Hello, dear."

Ancient Runes wasn't one of his best subjects but he wasn't bad and could find his way around. So along with the others he went out. According to the notice board, the lesson was held outside. Which meant it usually was inside.

Sébastien walked closer to were everyone stood with his bag's strap swung over his shoulder. His eyes picked out the old man. This was the oldest professor or even person he saw in the castle. He almost thought they were all sort of young. Guess not.

"Bonjour, Professor." he said.

"Bonjour, mon élève." He uttered, uncertainly. It had been ages since he spoke some French. Languages die quickly if not practiced daily. The boy received a smile and a nod, anyway.

Finishing off the last piece of toast she'd brought with her, Penelope finally reached the place the lesson was supposed to be at today. Wasn't hard to find once she was outside since there were a few others already gathered around Botros. "Hi Professor," she greeted him simply before finding an empty spot to sit.

He hadn't noticed the Gryffindor finishing her breakfast. If he did, he would've praised her way too much. "Hello, dear." The girl didn't seem to mind sitting on the grass either. He liked his class today.

Having read the notice in the Ancient Runes classroom, Alec had to backtrack and make his way back downstairs and out into the grounds instead. Not that he was complaining. No no no! This walk was perfect since it gave him enough time to finish the sandwich he had hastily grabbed from the Hufflepuff table earlier on. Because even if the notice had said to have some breakfast, the boy didn't want to be late. What would Botros say to that?

... And speaking of Botros... there he was! Which... meant that he had to finish his breakfast quickly. Nom nom nom chew chew chew.

Gulping down the last of the sandwich, Alec headed over towards the Runes Professor and the group of students huddled nearby. "Morning Professor!" he called, giving the man a smile. And he remembered the rune stones set that the notice had said. All was in his bag! Pat pat.

And... they could sit on the grass, yeah? The boy glanced around at all the students there, the smile still spread across his face, before heading right over towards the pseudo-sister. "Morning Wheaty!" he said, sitting down right next to her. She didn't mind, right? Yeah?

Good because he was staying.

AAH! One of the task's champions! Botros moved forward and gave the boy a manly hug and shoulder pat. "Good morning, mister Summers. I'd like to tell you how proud I was in your performance in that round. You and Mr. Odessa were a great team." Odessa received his share of shoulder patting and encouraging words in private.

Walking onto the grounds, Jun saw it was starting to fill up and he walked quickly towards the group; almost tripping on his own shoe.

Fantastic.

Maybe no one saw that. He had sure hopes not. He'd wouldn't be able to live it down for the remainder of class. Jun made his way towards the front, knowing that was the only way he'd manage to stay awake. Even if they were outside. "Morning, professor," he said, with a small smile and nod. Maybe he shouldn't have stayed up late last night.

Another sleepyhead. Botros grinned his wrinkly face and ruffled the boy's head as he passed him to sit on the grass, "Morning. You can bounce a little in your place if you're still sleepy."

OUCH.

So, sighing a bit, Tag headed towards the ground in the general direction of where class would be held. AND NO TAG DID NOT HAVE TIME FOR BREAKFAST! But he did come with the required materials they needed. An once he got closer to his classmates he made his way to the Professor first and said, "Hello Professor. I do enjoy your class, but maybe if next term you could make it a bit later... I didn't have time for breakfast. An, well, you seem really big on breakfast. So, I don't know, you don't have to do it next term, yeah? Just a suggestion..." Tag said with a grimacing smile. At least he was appealing to Botros' needs!

And down he went to sit on the grass.

Botros simply bumped the boy on his shin with the cane, gently but strong enough to be felt. "I managed to wake up early, shower, feed my Crup, and have my breakfast. And my bones are sixty years older than yours." He had a playful smile on his face, but his answer implied that Mr. Kildare's appeal was refused.

That must be the meeting spot she decided. Blair joined the group and smiled at a few of her fellow classmates. "Morning Professor," she said.

"Good morning, dear." He smiled and nodded at the active Gryffindor.

Smiling, he greeted the man he held the utmost respect to, "Hello, Professor Botros.. doing alright?" Wade couldn't wait to make the most of this class.

Botros wanted to hug this Hufflepuff too. He was one of the best students in his class, and always gave his best effort. "Good morning, son. I'm doing great, thank you." Polite, too.

He waved warmly at the happy Gryffindor girl, it was refreshing to see cheerful lions early in the morning, maybe other lions could watch and learn? HINTtagHINT. "Hello, dear."

He hopped along the path before taking a spot with his classmates, giving the professor a grin and wave (but no greeting for full mouth reasons). Favorite professor. Mo swallowed and brushed crumbs from his robes. "Morning, Professor."

A happy Ravenclaw in the morning was just as good. The evidence of having had breakfast was pretty clear too!! Botros was beside himself that some kids followed his advice. "Good morning, Captain Marco. Great spirit in the morning, I see." Odin bless his soul. And his breakfast now in his tummy.

Hmm... grass or log. Well grass did sound better right now.

"Good morning, Prefect Barrington." Botros smiled at the boy and glanced around for any more late-comers. Nope. None.
