Botros say WHAT?

GRIN GRIN GRIN.

This was like the Truebridge thing all over again. When the woman had called him talented -- HIM. TALENTED! -- and when she had said that she was surprised he hadn't been contacts by professional teams yet. And now BOTROS. "Thanks Professor! That means a lot to me," he said, the big grin still spread across his face, "It was a really great match and... the Professors put up a fierce competition. Hope you enjoyed it!" And... he was glad that the Runes Man hadn't been playing himself. That would feel as odd as playing against Hadley.

~~Also... cue internal fanboying.~~

"I am professor Abraham Botros, I teach Ancient Runes so please if you feel like you're in the wrong classroom, you can excuse yourself now." Completely serious he waited for a moment.

"Some of you have noticed the absence of Gandr baskets that usually were the focus of our classes last term." The pride and gladness was shining off his face like a five year old in a candyshop. "I'm afraid we're not going to use runic wands today, but rather learn the one important spell that you all need to use for your Ancient Runes project." They might want to check the noticeboard for that, too. He assumed they all were attentive to this subject so he went on without further explanation.

Stepping up on the dais and turning around to face the class once again, Botros waved his cane and the blackboard came to life, writing whenever the professor moved his staff. "Ancient Runes might not be the one crucial subject that all wizards must excel at, but it is a subject of great importance to those who seek knowledge or desire enforcing or harnessing their magic." Leaning sideways on his cane, he continued, "Runes are an ancient alphabet, symbols -if you may- found on most wizardy relics or sights." The blackboard wrote few keywords. "Besides their magic power and essence, each rune holds a deeper meaning and indication to one's life and the path or decision he can make, and what consequences might ensue." Actually... standing was hurting his knees. He stepped down the dais and started pacing again, "It's important to learn the varied concepts of those symbols in order to harness their wisdom and consult in whichever challenge we face, later on in our life." Right? Runes were a great way to lead us through life!

"Question. What's the name of a runic alphabet, any alphabet, and in which era was it used or discovered? Please raise your hand before giving an answer." They may use their textbooks.

Was he in the wrong class? NOPE.

... Oh? At the mention of the Gandrs, Alec tilted his head slightly to look under his table. And... sure enough, there were no Gandrs there. Weird. He had gotten used to the chanting and holding the Gandr and his wand in the same hand and watching the runes glow. It had been awesome!

But the awesomest? THOR. HAMMER. GRIN.

... Botros was talking. About the subject and then runic alphabets. And whether they knew the names of any? ... Hmm... flick... flick... flick through the textbook... "Erm... Professor?" he said, raising his hand, "Like Beezus said, there's the Medieval Runes which evolved from the Younger Futhark," And... was there anything that the older Ravenclaw hadn't mentioned? Because he didn't want to repeat what the girl had said. "It was in the 13th century that the short twig and long branch runes were combined which... I guess... made them fully formed? And since they have a child system that's sort of different, I guess the Medieval Runes started dying out in the 16th or 17th Century when some of the runes were starting to get replaced by Latin characters."

... Okay, he was starting to ramble so... he'd just stop talking now?

Botros stopped pacing and waved back at the Hufflepuff, the big grin still etched on the old man's face. "Good morning, Mr. Summers! Great snitch catch last game. You completely flattened the entire staff." Laughing as he said so. Botros was on his colleague's cheering side but still. The boy was impressive. Botros say WHAT? GRIN GRIN GRIN.
