As the students filed in, Botros smiled and nodded his head at each one of them. "Hello. Good morning, dear. Hi. Welcome to class again. Hullo. How're you? Come on in..."etc.

SPOILER!!: Jumbled Some Individual Students Responses

There was no accounting for taste apparently.

Nonetheless as he stepped into class he wore the Chinese smile and saluted Ab Botros. "Good morning, Professor." He said as he glided into class. His eye immediately caught the box of ...what was that? Cutty stepped around the class for a closer inspection and pulled out a shirt. He held it against his body as if to see how it would fit and then out before placing it back into the box. Dress up, h'mm? Ooh, and drama according to the board. He'd make the most of it. Come hell or high water he took that OWL and he would make the most of this.

And there were the curious ones, of course. "Please don't play with the costumes yet, Mr. Mordaunt. Thank you." He said gently watching the boy leave it on his own.

Botros chuckled and nodded. "Sort of. Depending on where you stand on Giant costumes." Like... the bad giants kind. The kind that Thor fought all his life.

The bopping continued all the way up to Professor Botros, who got a cheerful arm hug and a pat-pat-pat. It was possible that Botros was her best chance at best friending a professor.

"I'm not much of an actress, sir. Maybe I can direct. Also, good day to you."

Hugging and patting and.. the friendliest Slytherin Botros had ever met was this redhead. "I'm afraid I'm quite attached to my role as a director, I can't share." An apologetic smile to the little girl.

As he went into the room, he noticed there was other students that beat him to it. He grinned and waved to them all and then he noticed Bostros was sitting at the top of the room. "Hello Professor Bostros. I trust you had a good summer?"

"I did, thank you. I hope you had a great summer as well." He smiled at his Hufflepuff.

"Good day, dear. I did, thank you. Hopefully you had a lovely one as well."

The class was different looking.

"That's okay, son. We don't need any books today, and note-taking isn't necessary either." First class Botros taught in Hogwarts where note-taking wasn't necessary. It felt.. odd.

"Hello again, Professor Botros..you are looking...uhh...mighty healthier as before, can't wait for your lesson to start,Sir.."Henric smiled. His greeting was a little too much,wasn't it? Anyways,time to go in...

Oh, no chairs and tables? Where were they sitting then? On the floor? Henric glanced over the chalkboard...

"Dramatic Arts of the Runic Era,"he read. Merlin...were they going to act out a scene? In class? In front of all these students?! It was like Romeo and Juliet again...he remembered playing the part of Romeo at his mother's bookclub meetings which ~~he was forced to go to by the way~~...She made him read aloud those embarrassing lines,yet famous quotes of Shakespearean books and fitted for costume as punishment for talking back at her. Urghh...he rather not be reminded of the torture in wearing those tight,unstretchable, things for the rest of his life, thank you.

He looked into the boxes to find costumes inside them. Oh dear, his worst nightmare was coming back to him.Please don't have be tights..please don't have be tights......Fuu, no tights. He was safe for now.He then stood patiently by the corner and waited for the lesson to start.

"Thank... you...?" That wasn't the greeting Abraham was expecting but he smiled at the boy anyway, assuming he meant well with it.

After enough students gathered around in the classroom, Professor Botros closed the door softly and walked in to stand on the small dais where his desk was. "Good morning again everyone and welcome to Ancient Runes once again." He smiled relaxedly, happy that things were going as planned and as normal as Truebridge and himself always intended them to go ~~so far~~. "Ancient Runes has become more of a historical study nowadays. Runologists around the world try to decipher the runic inscriptions found on several ancient locations. What we know about Runes and Runic magic enable us to perform our own magic more strongly, bringing new aspects to the regular magical abilities we were graced with.

"There was a time, however, when runes ruled the world. Well, one of the worlds. They were an essential part of the culture and of the magic used in that era. The era of Odin and his... clan." So to speak. "In your textbook, you find a few stories that explain to a certain degree what kind of era that was. Today, instead of telling you a story about Odin and his sons and daughters, I opted we bring that era to life here in this class." The old professor's face lit with excitement at seeing the young ones dressing up as major rune figures.

"The story we're going to play today is How Thor Found His Hammer. We have about six scenes, each scene has three or four characters." He looked around, doing the maths in his head. "I need you all to divide yourselves into six groups, each group with three students. So, come over and stand in lines: each line represents one group that will play one scene." He gestured for them to begin, then he retreated to the blackboard and wrote:

Quote:

ooc: - So this class has no theoretical part, yay! lol
- Write the number of the group in your post title so I know which group you want in.
- If I find there is more than 3 students in a group, I will move the last person to the next group until all groups have equal numbers of students.
- If there are students with no more groups to fill, then make a ninth (or tenth) group.
- Any questions, PM/VM me, or ask professor Botros (but I won't see your question instantly this way).
- I will try and check every now and then to help you lot, but class won't resume formally until tomorrow same time (i.e. in 24 hours)

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Everyone who posts his character in a group is considered responsible for carrying out the activity with their fellow students. Do not post your character in a group if you know you cannot/don't want to continue playing with us in the coming few days, please.
