They would decide his fate after Hogwarts, bless. As absolutely annoying as THAT was. A simply series of tests wouldn't aptly exhibit his intelligence...but employers looked at that sort of thing. Or, that's what he'd been told. Whether it was the truth or not remained to be seen.

SPOILER!!: Ancient Runes notes!

Collecting one of the belts, Gabe carefully put it on and turned around. Glancing downward and focusing on the engraved runes, he began chanting what'd been written on the board. It wasn't difficult to sound out or remember. This was also made easier by not one person paying him the slightest bit of attention. So, there was that, also.

It took several minutes...but the runes eventually began to glow.....and that meant he'd changed face? They were told they wouldn't be able to look, but it was hard to say if he looked any different than he usually did. Hopefully so, as Gabe didn't want to mess this up. He loved Runes and it wouldn't set well with him to let Professor Botros down.

...

So, he needed to seek someone else out. Ask them questions. Three...and then guess. Whoooo would it be?

Toby was still surveying the rest of the class, finding it pretty interesting looking at all the other kids in here who weren't his usual classmates anymore (except in a couple of cases). And was that West Odessa across the room? Toby did a double take and stared for just a moment, briefly confused at seeing him at school again and quite forgetting the task at hand for just a moment. Okay. Yes. Disguises.

So he needed to find someone whose real identity he needed to guess, and a lot of students were already pairing off. Being easily distracted was a curse.

Toby, still appearing as a dog to everyone else, looked around for a potential partner nearby. He found one very quickly, though of course didn't know who it actually was (though if he was honest, Toby didn't know who the disguise was of either). The Hufflepuff immediately stepped forward, wondering quite how it looked in dog form.

"Hi," he said to the as yet unidenitfied fellow student. "Can I guess who you really are? And you can guess me too." Partners?

Banner Ravenclaw Sixth Year January 12th, 2086 Ancient Runes classroom Ancient Runes Lesson 1: Shape-shifting Runes noun, old symbols with magical properties. Uses Communication: Alphabets. Divination: Readings help us make life decisions. Magic: Today's subject. Runes Magic • Runes make our regular spells stronger. • Runes can block our regular spells. • Runes can perform their own magical tasks (advanced studies, not for this class) Runes that correspond best with Spells • Isa = The freezing charm (Glacius) • þurisaz = The engorgement charm (Engorgio) • Sowilō = The Wand-lighting charm (Lumos) • Wunjo = The Cheering charm (Gaudeo) • Algiz = The Shield charm (Protego) • Laguz = The Water-making spell (Aguamenti) • Kenaz = The Fire-making spell (Incendio) • Hagalaz = The Stunning charm (Stupefy) • Othala = The Four-Point Spell (Point Me) • Ansuz = The Patronus charm (Expecto Patronus) • Uruz = The Mending charm (Reparo) • Berkano = The Growing charm (Herbivicus) Loki: the Norse God of Mischief "He was known to help the gods in that he always had extraordinary solutions to anything they faced. They'd listen to what he had to offer, which usually defied the rules and expectations of their society, but when his solution would fail, they'd punish or threaten him for suggesting it. I'd say it was the unfairness of their judgement that pushed Loki to take a more vicious, tougher path in his life." "No, no. You're absolutely right, dear. Historians and mythologists argue that Loki didn't actually change forms, he simply played a trick on people's minds. So he essentially looked the same but put an illusion around his true form fooling us to think that he was a fish, or a beautiful girl, or a cow." "That's a great analysis. Like I explained before, Loki's knack to break the rules and abide by no law helped the gods when they got stuck in a crisis. But they were, as one would say, an ungrateful bunch of pricks to admit it and that, in my opinion, accumulated with time and caused Loki's trickster nature to explode harmfully." Activity!
