Botros waved his wand at the blackboard to write down all the adjectives the students were calling their classmates. Some were good, others were... too mellow and indefinite. They all served the purpose of this class, though.

Yoongi is entertaining - Olympia
Olympia is awesome - Angel
Angel is ?? - Janelle (said more than one word)
Janelle is enthusiastic - Rusty
Rusty is observant - Blaise
Blaise is awesome - Dante
Dante is entertaining - Hady
When they were done, Botros called for their attention again. "You see that list behind me? That is what you, classmates for more than one year, know about each other. If we compile the adjectives you used for each other on the other side, we'd get;"

"We have a class full of students who repeated more than one adjective to describe their classmates and they're mostly indefinite words, like enthusiastic, amusing or indescribable. What does that tell us about each other?" He paused, letting them answer his question in their heads. "It tells us that even though we spend most of our seven years here together, we barely give each other enough time to get acquainted. I'm not talking about your close group of friends. It's more rewarding when you spend enough time with a complete stranger every day here in school." Let's focus on that last three words, yes? School. Not outside world. "Whiiiich is what we're going to do today!" Abraham beamed and clapped his hands once.

The lists on the blackboard mushed together and formed a brand new list. "Those of you who haven't managed to conjure a proper adjective for their classmates are asked to spend the rest of this class with each other. You're allowed to go outside the classroom and take a walk in the castle or out on the grounds provided that you come back here in an hour's time to report back what you learned about your partner." Botros was smiling confidently at everyone.

Zander and Sophie - indescribable is not a definitive word.
Paulina and Ellery - person is not a definitive word.
Ava and Adi - awesome is not a definitive word.
Olympia and Angel - awesome is not a definitive word.
Blaise and Dante - awesome is not a definitive word
Benzi and Rea
Daxton and Phillip
"Now, I don't want to boss you around and tell you what you should do in your get-together but I will give you four questions that you're obliged to get the answers to from your partner by the end of your hour." Did he sound too enthusiastic about this? Did he? His beaming must've showed it. "Each couple will have their own flashcard with four questions in them, when you both answer the question it will disappear. You win if you come back here with an empty flashcard." What did they win? Their headmaster's.... love? Heh. Yes, that.

"If there is no question, you may disperse! I'll be waiting for you here," he leaned back on his desk with a big smile on his face.

ooc: - hehe hi, so this is the one and only activity in this class.
-Following the professor's instructions, you guys can post anywhere in the castle but you have to title your posts "AR Lesson I activity post X".
- You need at least 4 posts per student (8 for each couple) to complete this task.
- Post against here when you're done with your posts.
- You have around 48 hrs to complete the activity.
- Have fun, don't hurt your characters too much, and come to me if there are any questions or concerns.
- If anyone wants to join the class, they still can, just poke me if you need a partner.
