As students started filing in, Botros chuckled at the Slytherin kid and answered her with a nod, "Good morning, dear. Whichever is good." if it was appropriate, he wouldn't have minded they called him Ab, but he knew kids needed to learn manners at this age. Maybe when they were older.

"Oh, I'm glad!" Botros leaned in as if he was confiding his deepest secrets to the young kid. "Maybe you'd tell that to my friends to stop complaining when I notch the heat up a little." It was a joke, obviously.

"Morning, son. Great to see you energetic and fully awake,[/b]" he patted the Prefect on his shoulder as he passed by him.

"Morning, son." The Gryffindor also got a pat on the shoulder, a gesture mature men were ought to be greeted with. Sort of.

Aww, Botros chuckled at their new Prefect's attempt to be nice. "Thank you, dear. I appreciate it."

With a wide smile and a little beam to the Gryffindor, Botros let her pass him. "Good morning, dear."

"Hey, champ." A friendly smack on the boy's back to make him wake up more, because look at the sleep in his eyes. So obvious.

"Good morning, dear." Another Gryffindor came in only much less sleepy.

"'Morning, hello," a small smile at the girl as she walked by.

Did people lose the concept of time when they grew old and wrinkly? Because Zander was running on about five hours of sleep and it was not going to go well.

Botros gave the Head Boy a playful frown and a liiiittle harder smack on the back than Mr. Brown's. "Morning to you too, son. Brains are most productive in the morning, come one, shake it off," and off he set him to his seat. What a lovely young man.

Having hardly slept, and then decided to skip the ruckus that was the Great Hall at breakfast, Daxton entered the Ancient Runes classroom looking quite dishevelled. He paused to take a good look around the room, glancing briefly at the Professor-Headmaster, then took up his seat by door, getting out the Ancient Runes textbook he had borrowed from the library as well as his note taking things. While he waited for class to start, Daxton took it upon himself to flip through his textbook again, revisiting the more interesting parts.

The silent boy also got a wide smile and a beam, even if he didn't seem to look in Ab's way. "Morning, son."

"Hi, dear." He welcomed the Hufflepuff in.

"'Morning to you too, you look well-rested enough." Botros just wanted to motivate the boy to actually wake up.

"All hail King Botros," came her chipper greeting, along with a formal, playful salute, and she slid into the seat next to Zander, looking entirely too happy to be at class so early. With less cheek, she added, "G'morning, Headmaster." STILL NOT OVER IT.

Botros laughed, grateful for the Head Girl's bright spirits in the morning (maybe she should share with her counter-partner?). "Hello, dear, welcome to class."

Or better yet, a LIGHTSABER. How COOL would that be?!

Botros struggled not to ruffle the little boy's hair as he passed by him. "Hello, son. Morning."

"I'm quite good, thanks. I hope you're doing well, too, dear." He ushered the young Gryffindor to her seat helpfully.

Aw, it's Annie's kid again. Botros beamed at the Ravenclaw, finding it so adorable they shared a feature (glasses). "Good morning, dear."

"Hello dear." He said and started moving to stand in front of the class that was now full.

Oh look, the Slytherin who talked a lot came over. Botros chuckled and made a face at prunes. "I don't like prunes sadly, and... would you please close the door? Thanks." His rules were satisfying as they were... if she had visited him at the office, though, heh that would be a good surprise for her.

Botros moved to stand in front of the class and gave a general bright smile in their direction. "Good morning again everyone, I'm glad that more than half of you children look alert enough for today's lesson," he gave a small grin to those who weren't. "Today, we're not going to tackle runes like we usually do. In fact, we won't be studying anything directly runic... or theoretical. Today, we're going to try and widen the perspective of our school experience." Yes? That was probably too confusing and vague for 08:30 am. "What schools have in common is education, isn't that right? They're institutions that offer academic knowledge in the first place and probably, what some people call, life common sense. How to act in certain circumstances, how to communicate, how to hold yourself in a group...etc."

Botros moved to the first desk on the first row of the class. "But our school is special. Students come to us when they're eleven and they spend most of their next seven years within these walls. They meet new people, they go on extraordinary adventures and eventually they leave young men and women with changed set of mind and heart-- mostly, for the better." He sighed happily. "Life at Hogwarts is a precious time. It'll be a huge regret if we don't make the most of it." Botros would pay to experience one day in Hogwarts with his friends and wife again, as young students. "There are people here who support and guide you if you make mistakes or feel lost. So, make sure you take advantage of this time here because when you're older and you're out there," he shook his head, still smiling though nervously, "Mistakes are much harder to fix. Just like... ink stains on white shirts." A small laugh was good to make sure they didn't find this speech intimidating.

SO. Ab clapped once before he went on, "I need each one of you to describe the person sitting next to you with one word. By order. Starting from here," he patted the first desk he was standing by. "Go. Even if you don't know the person, just tell us what word or adjective you think applies on them the most. Quickly. Let's start by describing me, go on."
