 Ancient Runes Lesson - The Runes That Bind
Snow began falling once again not long before breakfast and, by the time everyone needed to head off to class, the snow was still gracefully falling. Whether or not you wanted to venture off outside of the school and play in it, one of the first classes of the day was keeping you indoors as today's Ancient Runes lesson was taking place in its usual setting: in its designated classroom on the fifth floor. Better get there quick so you don't have to linger in the drafty corridor for too long or, even worse, end up being late to class.
Once inside the warm room, you notice that the desks are not in their usual places. Rather than being in straight rows, they are set up in a large horseshoe-like fashion. There are no clear-cut clues whatsoever to help you infer the reasoning behind the arrangement. However, scattered in the middle of the horseshoe, there are five small tables. That is, perhaps, the more perplexing thing about today's setup for every table has something on it, each of varying shapes and sizes, covered by a white sheet. Will your curiosity get the better of you?
Though you may want to sneak a peek at what is underneath the sheets as you make your way to a desk, you are unable to do so without being caught. Headmistress Hawthorne is clearly visible in the front of the room and watches with a small smile on her face as you and your classmates arrive.
OOC: My apologies for the late start; I was having some internet issues the other day. Without further ado, let's get this party started! ... Take note that this is NOT the first Ancient Runes lesson your character has had with the headmistress this term. Also, please familiarize yourself with the classroom rules before posting. The lesson has started, but feel free to jump in at any time!
