Ancient Runes Lesson 1 As you enter the classroom you notice that this looks exactly like a normal everyday classroom. Desks lined up in rows and Professor Sokolov up at a his desk in the front lounging in his chair. The only difference is what is written on the board behind Professor Sokolov would not be be found in any normal school. Runic Alphabet. That is what the students would be learning today. Also each desk has a rune engraved in it. But that is for later. Right Underneath Runic Alphabet. He wrote No Assigned Seats sit where you please Come in and lets continue Professor Sokolov trying to remember your name. Class Progress: |
Kimi entered the Ancient Runes classroom and smiled at the professor and said "Good morning professor" Kimi took a seat at the front he was eager to learn |
This was a new class for Azura, one she wasn't super sure about. But it seemed super interesting and she wanted to try it out. So here she was. The previous classes had been interesting and she was looking forward to this one. She entered the classroom and smiled at Professor Sokolov. "Hello Professor Sokolov. " She said with a warm smile as she glanced at the board to check and see if there were any special instructions.. It didn't seem like it, so she picked a seat in the middle of the class and waited. |
It was with a heavy heart that Paige made her way to the Ancient Runes classroom that day. Heavy...but also determined. It had been quite some time since the subject had been properly offered at Hogwarts and despite the P she had received on her OWL, the school had granted her permission to pick up the subject again now that it was officially being offered again. So, in honor of the late Headmaster and to hopefully extend her knowledge of healing runes especially...here she was. After offering the professor a meek smile as she entered with her textbook clutched to her chest for dear life, Paige made her way towards a seat aaaaaaaaaaaaall the way in the back. Left corner seat. Hopefully mostly out of view and mind from the professor all the way down in the front. Which was precisely where she pleased. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand looking down at her desk already had her mind rattling like a flutterby bush. She had no idea which rune that was. Um....time to crack open the textbook already it seemed. Which was a welcomed distracted from Professor Sokolov's cold stare. |
While Char as a rule wasn't a huge fan of theory type subjects, Runes SOMETIMES could be super cool and fun, and it was still a novelty that they had the class again at all, and she knew her dad would be proud of her if she did well, and all in all she had plenty of reason to be excited when she arrived. She was a cheerful whirlwind coming through the door. "Hello Professor!" She said and found herself a seat right in the middle of the room. In the middle of the ACTION. YEAH. |
Ancient Runes. Bentley had to admit that this tended to be one of the most unexciting classes at Hogwarts for him but he was here..again..for another class. He dropped a 'Morning Professor' before making his way to the middle seats. Close enough to the professor to hear everything but far enough way to not get caught if he wanted to talk to his cousin, who he saved a seat for by dropping his bag on the seat next to the one he claimed. |
Why was she here again? Why did she have the bright idea to continue with this subject even when she bombed it on her OWLs AND the fact it was a new male professor. The first few lessons hadn't went well so why would this one be any different. He was still new, she was still anxious, and she was still wanting it to just not be. Nat was going to give it ONE more try. If this time she couldn't get over things she was going to go to the headmaster and see if she could still drop it. She came through the door and just stood for a moment. The man pretty much terrified her to be honest. His look was one that made her skin crawl and she looked to the floor and hurried to the back of the room. This was her safe zone. Once in her seat she took a few deep breaths and played with her unicorn locket. Pulling out her book, parchment, and quill she thought about possibly bringing this up to her healer next time she saw her. Where were her girls, she could really use a smiling friend right now. |
Technically this class should be one of her best seeing how her uncle used to teach Ancient Runes at Hogwarts years ago but Trixie had tended to tune out each time her uncle went on about the Runic alphabet, the Elder Futhark and how to use runes to create spells or whatever it was he used to talk about. She entered the class with a slight skip in her step and raised her hand in a wave to the Professor that was standing there. "Hey there Professor." Trixie turned to see where she could sit and decided on the chair behind Charlotte. At least if she got bored during the class, she knew that the blonde in front of her would most likely keep her entertained. |
Chloe had done a lot of reading on Runes since being back this term. She'd heard one of the old Runes professors died the end of this summer which reignited her interest in the subject. It was all over the prophet. And her curiosity was peaked. So much so that she shuffled into the classroom and wordlessly took a seat at the front. Close enough that she noticed the new Runes professor was a solid ten. Not like a Hirsch ten but an average attractive ten. Well done, Hogwarts. She didn't bother saying hello. Instead she squinted down at the rune on her desk. What in the Merlin? |
Ancient Runes... Kat had been nervous about choosing this class as an elective. She had her face in the text book over the summer and in the few weeks she had been in the lessons. Was it too late to change this choice? So far Ancient runes were more confusing that her feelings. At least when it came time to focus on the subject of ancient runes, she could. Kat headed into the classroom. "Hello, Professor Sokolov." Her blue eyes glanced up at the board. That was the runic alphabet. See she had learned that from the book. Great now maybe she would understand all those wavy squiggly lines now. Or maybe not. Kat headed to a seat, only seeing Paige, and Char. But she took a seat near the front. That was suppose to help learn sitting close to the front. It made all the sense in the world to her. Seeing the rune on her desk she tilted her head looking at it. What did that mean? |
With her satchel of books and other supplies over her shoulder, Cassie made her way to the Ancient Runes classroom ready for class. The third year wasn't quite sure what to make of the subject, but in true Ravenclaw fashion, was giving it a whole-hearted try. Stepping inside the room, there weren't that many fellow students already there but still a smattering of all the houses. Azura and Kimi were the only ones she clearly reconized however as she moved to choose a seat. "Good morning, Professor," she greeted the man as she sat down. The girl depositing her belongings on the desk top only to notice the rune there on the wooden surface. She let her fingers trace over the shape wondering its purpose as she prepared for the lesson. |
The redhead entered the Runes classroom prepared for today's lesson. Sure Ancient Runes wasn't her favourite class seeing as to how she loved Herbology more it was still a very interesting class to the fourth year. Luckily for this Professor this was a class she wasn't willing to cut, unless there was something he said she didn't agree with, then she'd be very quick to walk out. She caught sight of the Professor & gave a wave, "Professor!" Clara plastered a friendly smile on her face before she turned to take a seat. She viewed her options & there were seats by, Charlotte, ugh Bentley (NOT sitting there), & OH- HI TWIN! Without hesitation Clara quickly made her way to the front before taking the seat beside her sister. "Heeey." Looking down at her desk, OH look a rune. She quickly lifted it up to get a good look at it. 'Huh, wonder what this one stands for.' |
Ancient Runes. This was perhaps the most challenging class of all for Janelle. The fact that they had a new teacher did not help matters. She hoped that she would be able to make it through successfully this term. Entering the room, Janelle took a deep breath. "Hello Professor", she said, spotting the new Runesmaster at his desk. She sat down at the nearest empty desk and began to prepare herself for class. Taking out her textbook, parchment and quill, Janelle eyed the runic alphabet on the board. This was not going to be easy. |
He didn't hate Ancient Runes. That was it. The whole statement. It wasn't something he would rather chew his arm off than sit through but at the same time....he'd rather be anywhere else. Nothing personal, Hogwarts just wasn't his favourite place in the world, consequently, neither were its classes. "Morning Professor." The obligatory greeting was given before the boy sunk into the seat his cousin had obviously left for him. It was for him right? A quick glance around the room found Chloe sitting at the front, so yes, this was his. Char got a wave when he noticed her sitting as close to them as she was before his attention turned to the redhead up front. The parchment he'd removed from his bag was ripped in half with one half being crumpled. Blaise set it before him on the table, leaning closer to the desk to take aim and flicking it at her to get her attention--y'know, since she'd decided to sit all the way up there. That done, he turned to his cousin again. "What's with the runes?" His quill floated, idle for the most part as it waited for something to happen. |
It wasn’t as if Ancient Runes was particularly one of those subjects she had missed over the previous terms, even if Brooklyn didn’t feel as if she’d dislike it quite as much as some other subjects. It had merely been something she’d never thought about. Seeing as it was actually being taught again, though, she’d chosen to see if it was interesting. It hadn’t failed yet, and there was still her little mission to test the professors as well. So far she didn’t feel as if she was disrespected. “Good morning, Professor Sokolov,” she said politely as she made her way to a desk. The fact she didn’t particularly recognize the rune decorating said desk didn’t bother her one bit, nor did the awkwardness she was smart enough to know others felt. She didn’t feel awkward at all, as he set out what she felt would be needed for the lesson and then took a different book out and settled in to wait for the lesson to start. |

Chloe.... He didn't look very long because her sister also came in. When she looked in his direction he made a face at her. Good. He was glad she was sitting up front. He could throw stuff at her head.... And Blaise beat him to it...ugh.. "I donno but I'm sure the professor will tell us soon." |
It was still very hard to remember the New Ancient Runes Professor's name. It was practically foreign. The Lion would not going give up on remembering it properly though. In fact on his way to the class he had overheard some giddy classmates of no importance to him or anyone except maybe their relatives and the others they were being giddy with call him something like Professor Sack-O-Love.Because he was one of the Good looking Professors at School. Something Torrance would normally scoff at. As he entered the classroom, he quickly recalled it as Sokolov. Easy-Peasy! "Hello Professor Sack-O-Love...SOKOLOV! Sokolov....that's what I said." Good save. Now uncharacteristically move to some seat in the back row to avoid anymore mistakes for the remainder of the class. Torrance set his Bag down beside his feet and just looked over his desk with the engraved rune on. Then just quietly traced it with his thumb. |
UGH. Why had Ariadne talked herself into taking Runes? She hated Runes! Runes were super boring, even though she had been told they were also super useful. Who knew...maybe this professor could liven things up a bit... Maybe... "Hello, Professor Sokolov! Welcome to Hogwarts," she said. He may have been here before as a student, but she was way too young to know anything about that. She did a mental cringe as she saw runes everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Was it too late to say nevermind and just walk back out the classroom? Yes. It was. Ariadne took a seat and focused instead on who was walking into the room. HIII, FRIENDS! HIIII! |
Runes was a hard class. Not too hard, but interesting hard... the kind of hard that meant Katy actually had to pay attention and couldn't spend the lectures drawing pictures of the back of people's heads. Some people had very interesting backs of their heads. She found a seat near Kat, tugging on Char's sleeve as she slipped past her. If Bast was here, it would be all her favorite people in one place. As it stood, it was just MOSTLY all her favorites. "Hullo, Professor." He was handsome, wasn't he? Too serious, but he had a very good jaw. |
There were three reasons why Takeru Asakura was taking Ancient Runes. 1. He had to take another elective. 2. He wasn't about to take Care of Magical Creatures, Divination or something insane like Arthimancy and 3. He had to take another elective. Slipping into class quietly the first year stopped and looked around. There were a number of people already filling out spots. Already he could spit Blaise and Bentley and Chloe. Sitting beside them though...he didn't want to interrupt the two boys again. And Chloe had said that all boys were stupid.... Taking a deep breath Tak shuffled toward the front of the class. The bruise on his face was almost completely gone now, so he felt a bit better about that now that people couldn't judge him for it. Counting a few seats away from Chloe he slipped into his chair and quickly averted his eyes from the professor that everyone seemed to be greeting |

Noelle sighed as she entered the class. She looked at the board and saw foreign letters.... Or she thought they were letters. Merlin. This was going to be a class. Why has she picked it again?? Not to mention how full it was. Seats were open but Noelle wanted to sit by someone familiar. If that was possible. She sensed she would need help in the class. Knowing someone would prove beneficial. AZ! Thank Merlin! Noelle made her way over to her and plopped down beside. Her face breaking into a smile. "youre the best thing I've seen all day." She whispered to her bestie. Now onto the professor. "Professor." Noelle said with a smile on greeting. Then waited for class to start. |
and we see you Torrance! Quote:
Which was why Paige rested her hand against one of the legs of the desk, palm up, and offered it to her with a tiny 'pssssssst' to draw her attention away from the parchment. It wasn't much and Paige would not pretend to be someone Nat leaned on for such things, but it was there if she needed and wanted it. Thurisaz? Was that what the rune was? Was she remembering its form correctly? Probably not. |
Ruin magic was special to the Gryffindor witch. It was some of the first magic she had ever fully grasped and been able to perform perfectly and it was a key component in her alchemical studies. She took it seriously and after being taught briefly by the late Abraham Botros Aslan had high expectations for whoever thought themselves clever enough to teach ancient ruins. Professor Sokolov had yet to have earned ether her scorn, or her admiration. She would, if pressed, had said that he was aesthetically pleasing but that was hardly a shock considering Hogwarts only seemed to employ Professors of a certain level of beauty and Sokolov fit into that slot nicely. The classroom was already filling up and Aslan didn't see anyone she particularly wanted to sit by. Brian had not yet stepped in (she wasn't sure he was still taking this class at all), Hazel was nowhere to be seen or Esme for that matter. She shouldn't have been much surprised, and she wasn't but there was a lingering feeling. One that had shadowed her ever since the train ride and yet another fateful encounter with Daxton Prince. It was a feeling she would not name. But it rhymes with Smolonely. Perhaps that was why she chose to sit next to Takeru near the front of the class. She offered the younger Slytherin a nod of acknowledgment, but otherwise was silent as she put down her patched book bag before bringing out her quill and parchment. |
Okay, so this was the deal. Olivia's mum had promised her that if she could start taking her school work more seriously this year, earn higher marks than before, that she'd use some vacation time and they could visit international Disney parks this upcoming summer. LIKE THE ONE IN JAPAN! Or even CALIFORNIA. It was supposedly way bigger than the one in Florida, but until that was seen, Liv couldn't be sure. Proof was required for THIS Gryffindor gal, thank you very much. Ahem, anyway, BECAUSE DISNEY WAS SERIOUS BUSINESS, the blonde had arrived EARLY to Ancient Runes. E A R L Y. Yes, yes, express your shock and such. This was truly a miraculous occurrence. It was a good thing, too, because apparently Tak had just arrived, as well, since no one had claimed a spot next to him. Well, NOT UNTIL NOW, anyway. Hopefully, Trixie wouldn't be too upset since she wasn't sitting with her instead. Quote:
"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?" She wiggled her brows in a playful fashion. Also, ADHD ..... What was this marking on her desk? O.o. She'd never attended a runes lesson before, so it was completely foreign to the blonde. Foreign, but TOTALLY awesome looking. Oh, and there was a professor person, too ... but he wasn't Gaston, who was, by the way, TOTALLY GOING TO GET IT. Yup. Just you wait and see.... Ahem. "Hello, Professor. Welcome to Hogwarts!" He seemed like a super serious man, but she clearly could've cared less about all that. |
Kaycee was here for one reason and one reason only... to find out if this class was worth taking. Being a seventh year and not interested in a magical career, she was on the more casual side of the learning spectrum. "Professor." she greeted as she entered the classroom. She took a seat and debated on breaking out one of several metallic muggle pens. The announcement did just say anything to write with after all. Plus, shiny made things interesting. And, if Maggie was coming to this class, it would be fun to see what was more distracting to her -- the pens or the Professor's face. Completely responsible and studious Prefect was completely responsible and studious. |
