When you walk into the other door in the corridor, right next to the office, you find yourself facing a large room filled with different items, tables and big rocks fixed to the floor. If you look closely, you'll notice that the workshop is divided into different corners, a piece of parchment with information about each activity is hanged in each of those corners. There are different kind of tools and equipment lining the walls, crammed in the drawers or lying in baskets on the floor. If you're a fifth year or older, you'll probably be able to do all the spells needed in this workshop room. Those items mainly are for younger students, hence you'll find no real hammers, nails or even scissors. Professor Botros charmed them so that they were safe for the younger students. So if you try to prick your skin with a nail, it won't work and just give you a slight shock as a remainder to not harm yourself/someone else. But if you try to fixate the nail on wood, it'll be as sharp as a, well, nail. Anyways, professor Botros spends quite a lot of time in this room so he'll be around almost all the time just in case.

As well as the following activity, you're more than welcome to grab a chair and claim a spot on one of the tables and work on your ancient runes homework! Professor Botros might even be around and in the mood to help you out.

Claycraft:

A big counter in the middle of the room is set up for clay related activity. There are small wooden boxes full of colorful clay balls. Each box is closed by a wooden lid, the clay will dry and turn into solid mass after an hour or two when it's exposed to the air. You can use those to make your own set of Runes or just making runes and sticking them to a board, or even make talismans and etching into the clay a runic script for protection or good fortune or anything you want. There are much more to do with the clay, just remember it has to be something related to runes – or else you'll hurt professor Botros' feelings for not using his workshop for his favorite thing in the world.

Woodcraft:

The left northern corner has piles of wood planks on the counter, with screwdrivers and hammers hanging on the wall. Older students can use their wands to carve into the wood. Many shapes are available; circular, rectangular, sticks with a flat side, and small squares. You can change their sizes too with the right spell.

Across the room from the other activities is a big desk with five chairs. On the wall above this desk is a very big board with one slightly difficult word search puzzle. Your job is to find the words listed under the puzzle and cross them over, once you finish a puzzle you can bring your work to the professor and he will have a nice something to say to you!

ooc: - Chatter is allowed here, and the purpose of this workshop is for your character to have fun as well as learn something new. If you want the professor's interference just put it in your post's title and I will reply as soon as I can. If it's an emergency, such as someone fainted or spotted a SNOGGING couple oh la la you can VM/PM me.
- The best way to post your answer is like the following:

Word (Column,Row,Direction).
Example:
Sif (9,1,DR) means --> Sif (9th column (from left), first row (from above), down and right)

- I recommend you don't post your answer here, instead you can PM me with your character's work. Just to give other people the chance to try this out on their own.

Professor Botros was seated at his usual comfy armchair, his legs stretched and a thick old book in his hands that produced a small cloud of dust every time he flipped a page. His face broke into a warm smile every time a student walked in. It was early in the term, and the fact that there were interested kids who wanted to check this place out made the old man's heart happy. [/mushyHuffie]

Oh, someone was asking for his attention. Ab lowered his reading glasses on his nose bridge and looked around for the boy. "Oh have you? Come show me. Tell me what you did." He waited for the Hufflepuff to bring his work over, and closed the old book bracing himself for the cloud of dust once again.
