It was always reassuring to arrive at Ancient Runes and find Professor Botros by the door. Sometimes he didn't stand there, and the vibe ended up being off and everything felt wrong and gave Toby a weird feeling of anxiety. BUT NOT TODAY. Today was all good, vibes were fine, everything was a-okay.

Except... everything else was different. Like, in the classroom. That was weird, even for Hogwarts standards, because Ancient Runes was pretty much generally always the same set-up. Um... except that one time it was... under the sea. BUT THAT WAS DIFFERENT.

Still, the general vibe was good, so Toby wasn't worried. He greeted the professor with a simple "Hi, Professor," and a usual Toby-smile as he entered into the very different room, and then automatically moved to stand by fellow seventh year and FRIEND, Gabriel Banner, who in turn was nearby a starfishing Zeke.

Toby looked at the board too. OOOOH, were they gonna be ACTING? Like in History of Magic? Toby had a track record if inconsistent mood in Glendower's class, so his performances were often lackluster, but if they were being dramatic in here today, he was glad he'd turned up to Professor Botros' lesson in a good mood.
