Ancient Runes Lesson I : Loki & Shapeshifting
 
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps2fc17533.jpg

It was particularly warm inside the classroom. December brought with it the freezing weather that usually turned the old professor's knees to creaking, rusty joints. Hence, the classroom was warm, warmer than the rest of the castle. The desks were spread out in three rows as usual with name tags on them that assigned students to their chairs. A bunch of belts were piled on the side of Botros' big desk in front of the blackboard. The old man himself was standing and leaning sideways on his desk on the small dais, his cane was in his hand though he didn't need it for support.

Walk in, take a seat and keep the chatting to a minimum, this isn't your first Ancient Runes class this year so you already know that professor Botros doesn't appreciate loud chatter.
ooc: - Please familiarize yourself with this class' rules and guidelines before you post.
- As mentioned, this isn't the first class, your character should know the professor so please act like it. :)
- Class HAS STARTED.

Brrr. It was cold out. But Adi didn't mind. He loved the cold! Plus he was dressed for it. Yup. But stepping into the Ancient Runes classroom for another lesson, it was safe to say Professor Botros has used charms to make the place warmer. And there was the old, grandfatherly guy.

"Good morning, Professor Head of House!'' Yesh, indeed. The man had gotten Hadley's old title. Despite the early morning class, Adi was in good spirits and not sleepy one bit. He found his desk, took a seat and got his books out. It was surprising that students hadn't mad their way to class yet. It was sooooo early.

DuckyLinJi 02-07-2015 02:35 PM

Kevin had his gryffindor scarf wrapped around his neck and had pushed it up over his nose to protect him from the cold. His hands were in his uniform pockets and he shivered while walking to the Ancient Runes class. Upon entering, he was greeted by comfortable warmth and he pulled down the scarf with a sigh. Much better.

Seeing the old man, the fourth year immediately thought back to detention and how he had literally cracked down. But he looked like it didn't bother him and he nodded his head at the Professor while saying a rather forced "...morning" and went to find a seat next to Adi. "hey dumbo" he grinned.

So they hadn't had too early a transfiguration lesson by Ancient Runes was now early. 8 am with breakfast rushed before it since he certainly needed some energy before he got to class. Benny had nearly groaned when he saw the notice. It was hard to keep up with these early classes when you were up studying at night. Granted he didn't stay up THAT late, but that didn't mean his dormmates didn't.

Making his way to the classroom, he was surprised to see that Adi and Kevin and the professor were the only ones there. Had he really moved that quick? Or was the rest of the class as sleepy as he was and running late? Cue yawn that he was quick to cover up as he walked further inside.

"Good morning, Professor," he greeted quietly as he made his way to a seat. Benny didn't care of they couldn't sit or had to stand, he was sitting. Setting his bag on his desk, he didn't even readily acknowledge his best friend in his weakness.

Kolyander 02-07-2015 03:20 PM

It was early and the young girl hadn't eaten anything yet. Not that she hadn't had the time cause honestly she'd had way more then enough time to she just wasn't up for eating. At least not so early. So making her way towards Ancient Runes this morning she was a bit early.

Not to early though, cause when she entered the room she noticed others were already there. Smiling lightly she waved to the Professor. "Morning Professor." She greeted quietly finding her seat as she read each name tag and slipping into it setting her bag at her feet.

Hera 02-07-2015 03:42 PM

He wasn't much of a morning person, but he could appreciate Ancient Runes.... so long as things made sense, heh...

After surviving the trek down to the Great Hall for breakfast, and then surviving the trek up to the fifth floor again, Zeke entered the room, a hand raised to the back of his neck for support. He be tired yo.

"Mornin' Professor," he greeted as he shuffled to his seat and allowed himself to FLOP there. Floppage was grand. So grand. To add to his still half-sleepiness, the warmth of the room was comforting. So comforting in fact that he could already feel his lids drooping.

Early morning classes were the worst, he decided.

"Hey, Hady," he added with a goofy smile, glancing at his desk neighbour.

PhoenixRising 02-07-2015 04:06 PM

WHAA. FINALLY. We've been waiting for another attempt at this :3
 
Despite the cold December weather, Tia was practically skipping down the corridor to Runes class. Because what was more fascinating than an hour spent learning about practically a foreign language and its magical roots. Not to mention Professor Botros was sweeter than candy, yet sort of rough too.

And his classroom? So warrrrmmmmm ... just like Botros' heart, no doubt.

The fourth year grinned at the old professor as she slid into her assigned seat. "Morning Professor!" Tia chimed as she pulled out her notes and a quill.

the fastest seeker 02-07-2015 04:39 PM

Dante still wasn't sure of what he thought of this particular subject. It made him curious, yet it was not easy. So his opinion was not yet made, he was giving it time to take shape whether he enjoyed it or the opposite.

The professor, though was a decent man. Reminded the Slytherin of his grandpa. The two oldies had the same gait.

"Good day, sir," He said as he walked inside the classroom and headed towards the end of the class. To his seat.

Felixir 02-07-2015 05:07 PM

Tobias Fuller-Thompson entered the classroom, trying to look as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as he usually was for this class, despite actually being more like bleary-eyed and tousle-haired. He was as eager for Ancient Runes as he always was, though, despite his sleepy demeanor. He knew that Professor Botros was likely to understand that, as he understood so much else.

The Hufflepuff zombied his way to his seat, daydreaming vaguely of coffee, though that stuff had the tendency to make him, quite literally, bounce off the walls.

"G'mornin' P'fessor," Toby mumbled, hoping his greeting was at least clear enough to be understood by the elderly man, who he also greeted with a smile. Toby flopped down at his usual desk and got as far as retrieving his textbook from his bag and placing it on the desk, before he ended up resting his head down on the hefty book as though it were a comfortable feather pillow. Sleeping? No. Just having a rest. Just until class started. It was horribly impolite, but Toby still felt barely conscious, and his manners were lost somewhere in the haze of sleepiness. No doubt he'd feel horribly guilty later.

No offence, Professor Botros. It wasn't an Ancient Runes thing. Wasn't even an early morning thing, really. He just... needed... to rest. And it was so warm in here, so nice and warm.

hermionesclone 02-07-2015 05:25 PM

Seriously?

SERIOUSLY?! 8AM?!

Grayson trudged his way up to the Ancient Runes class, yawning and rubbing his eyes as he went. Ridiculous, man. As much as he was used to waking up at this sorta time for classes, it didn't mean that he liked it. No way. Especially since it was for classes and all.

But he was here. Fifth floor. Where he let out one last yaaaaaaaaaaawn as he entered the classroom. There. That felt MUCH better, thankfully. His blue eyes found the Professor and he said, "Morning, Professor Botros." Dude was alright so Grayson gave him a nod as he went to sit down on his seat. They could be having a much worse lesson this early on in the morning.

Settling down, the Slytherin pulled out his things and sat there. And the belts got an eyebrow raise.

MudInMyBlood 02-07-2015 06:42 PM

It was cold. More like it was freezing. AJ shook and shivered all the way to the classroom. Once she stepped inside she was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Being warm was the way to be. She could feel her limbs slowly beginning to thaw out. AH! Sweet, sweet relief.

"Morning, professor." Whether it was good or not, she wasn't sure just yet. Only birds were up at this hour. Okay, maybe it wasn't that early, but AJ really did like to sleep in.

Adi was already there which didn't surprise her. He was always one of the first ones in class. For once AJ didn't seem to be the last one there. Oh, Benny was there too. It was clear that she wasn't fully awake just yet. They both got waves, and she stumbled to her desk.

Grrr..Meow 02-07-2015 08:11 PM

Echo was so scared for this class, she wasn't to good at it. Opening the door she stepped in and spotted the professor. "Good Morning Professor" she said while going to find an open seat. She smiled when she Spotted Zeke and she waved at him to get his attention. "hello" she said quitely.

Tazenhani 02-07-2015 08:20 PM

It was warm in here. Reaaaallly warm. Which meant that Amur moved slowly. Molasses slowly. Partially to enjoy the heath that was seeping into her skin, and partly because that was simply what was done when it was warm.

Warm, like being under thick blankets. Sleeping. Pleasant dreams.

Amur smiled pleasantly at the Professor as she passed by. "Good morning, Professor Botros. I like what you've done with the atmosphere in here."

Yes indeed. Were they going to have naps? Naps sounded good about now.

Ambling over to her assigned desk, Amur plopped down and rested her arms across the desk surface and her chin on top of her arms.

Weasley174 02-07-2015 08:28 PM

Angel walked into the classroom. "Good day sir, I hope your well." Angel smiled, she was totally loving life at the minute and she couldn't wait to see what was happening this lesson. She then went and found a seat.

ArianaBlack 02-07-2015 08:36 PM

Okay didn't old people like to sleep too?

The Gryffindor literally zombied into the room, forcing his eyes to keep open as he made his way inside. Must've been a tragic sight too as his hair was not properly brushed and he had hardly even taken notice of the fact that he had been wearing his robes inside-out. Okay Zander was definitely not awake enough at 8 am and ready to take on the beautiful teachings of the runes. Nope.

Though it was one of his worst subjects and OWLs were approaching sooner than he had planned... So couldn't really miss it. Siiigh. "Good morning Professor," it literally took every ounce of his will power to smile at the old man and make his voice sound clear enough to understand... Though a few of the syllables were probably lost as he murmured the last bit. After walking to the seat his tag was normally on-- not even stopping to check and make sure-- he sat down, took out his book, and rested his head on it all properly.

Merlin, it was so warm and cozy in here... Almost warm and cozy enough to take a nice nap... Not that he was sleeping. Just resting his eyes for a few minutes.

Lottiepot 02-07-2015 08:43 PM

Ancient Runes was one of those subjects where you either got it or you didn’t. Layla was still contemplating exactly what the purpose of the subject was but she attended the lessons anyway, more out of experience than anything. That and the Professor was old and knew what he was doing. Unlike some completely unprofessional individuals around here. She did like the school but that didn’t mean she wasn’t contemplating how some of the staff passed their interviews to work here.

Walking into the classroom and a stupid time in the morning, the Ravenclaw wasn’t actually feeling that tired unlike half of the students in the room. She wasn’t necessarily a ‘morning person’ but she wasn’t any different than usual. The blonde could be quite a grump and today there wasn’t a deep set frown on her face more of an expressionless look. Not smiling nor frowning. She nodded a greeting over at the elderly man at the front of the classroom. “Mornin’ Professor” None of Layla’s close friends were around and she could see that there was a stupid seating arrangement going on that made her feel like they were back in Primary School. She grumbled under her breath and found the tag with her name on it, slipping into the seat and her arms folded onto the desk.

Waiting..

SweetPeea 02-07-2015 08:55 PM

It was finally time for her favorite class; Ancient Runes! The fourteen year quickly made her way into the classroom with a rather eager smile on her face. She stopped at the doorway & composed herself, making sure that her hair was alright & her uniform was in order before she even took another step.

Once pleased with her appearance, she made her way into the classroom towards the front of room & chose a seat in the front row. Before sitting down, she gave a polite smile to the Professor. "G-Good morning P-Professor Botros.." Then before she knew it, she was sitting down, feeling very anxious to begin the lesson.

WhittyBitty 02-07-2015 08:59 PM

Aaah, it was so nice and toasty. This was the kind of temperature Lux liked. Yep.

Her Head of House was awesome.

Waving to her friends, she made her way to her seat, sitting down and taking out everything needed for class. "Hello, Professor Botros!" Hehe, she had been tempted to call him Grandpa Botros but had refrained.

Cutty entered the Ancient Runes classroom and immediately appreciate the warmth. At his mother's behest he wasn't giving up on the subject, though it was far from his best. Sad that, as it was practically part of his heritage. If it weren't for the blasted relationships, he might have been better at it than he was. "Good morning, Professor Botros." He said, greeting the elderly wizard as he took a seat near Dante.

"Hey Dante." He greeted the newcomer boy quietly. Botros was old as the hills but his hearing was sharp.

Whitlock was making faces. Cutty turned to see what his friend was looking at. Belts. My but those were belts. Cutty's mind ran rampant with all of the possible uses for those.

Cassirin 02-07-2015 10:58 PM

Ancient Runes was one of those classes that Dot wasn't really sure about, and if the professor hadn't had SUCH a cute dog, she probably wouldn't have opted to take it. It seemed hard and scary and unrelated to her in any way. But at least the professor had a nice face and seemed to be good at explaining stuff.

"Hullo, professor," Dot paused on her way past him and stared up at him with big solemn eyes. "I'm a third year now so I can take your class. Third year, though, so I don't know very much. Or anything, really. Try not to break my brain, on account of I need it later." She shook his elbow before heading off to her seat.

Oh lookit that. The Cutty was there. "Hiiii," she whispered and wiggled her fingers at him.

Deezerz 02-07-2015 11:30 PM

Ancient Runes tiiime.

Besides Potions and Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes was one of the lessons that got the Slytherin Prefect all, asldkfj! It was a challenging subject, just the way Wayne's liked it. That and she looked up to Professor Botros.

Entering the classroom her gaze immediately sought him out at the front of the classroom. It was a good thing she'd chosen a desk at the front or else she'd be stuck somewhere she wasn't all too pleased with. Briefly glancing at the belts, she smiled at the man as she settled in her desk.

"Good day, Professor Botros."

Kaos.Doodles 02-08-2015 12:17 AM

Ancient Runes! Time for class again with his puppy and Professor old cool man Botros. Skipping into class happily, Kyroh looked a around a bit before taking a seat right next to the Gryffindor guy. Zeke. HI.

"Hullo Professor!! Are we going to learn the rune that will keep us awake in the morning?" It made sense! Though he didn't really feel that sleepy this morning.

Daydreamer11 02-08-2015 12:23 AM

Janelle wasn't quite sure how she felt about Ancient Runes. The jury was still out on that one. She entered the classroom, determined to figure out what runes were all about. "Hello Professor Botros", she said as she passed his desk. Whatever she felt about Ancient Runes, Janelle did like the Professor.

Janelle went straight for he seat with her name on it and sat down. She took a moment to unpack her things and get them in order. Then she leaned back, waiting for class to begin.

Expecto-Penguin 02-08-2015 01:34 AM

Kace made his way to Ancient Runes which was an interesting class to say the least. He wasn't coming here because Bostros was his head of house, psshh of course not. What gave that away? As he walked into the classroom he noticed other students made it here and he nodded towards them all. As he turned his head he noticed Bostros. He smiled at his head of house and greeted him with, "Hello Professor Bostros!"

Then he made his way to his seat and he was glad he didn't have to put his name tag because Bostros should know his name by now. He took out his notebook and quill and was prepared to take notes.

lazykitty 02-08-2015 01:42 AM

Yeah, Professor Botros liked to have his classes early. Which meant that Heather had missed about half of them. But she was here now. Still half asleep, but here. "Hello, Professor Botros," she said, walking to her seat with a yawn. Boy, all this warmth was not helping her half asleep state.

What were all those belts for? Would they be carving runes into them? Making some kind of superhero belt? That would be cool.
