Default Ancient Runes Lesson 1 - Suiting Up with Algiz

As you make your way along the corridor, gazing out the windows has become nearly impossible. Snow that had begun falling the night before was now thick and swirling aggressively downward, causing the inside of the castle to be darker than it usually was in daytime. Torches scattered down the hall provide a source of light as you walk past them on your way to Ancient Runes. The heat coming off from them is not enough to keep you from shivering slightly, so it is best that you make your way to class with haste.

When you cross over the threshold of the doorway, surprisingly the inviting warmth of the room is not noticed first. All of the desks have been pushed against the wall, and shimmering suits of armour, with a shield at hand, stand where the desks should be. For a moment you begin to wonder if you are even in the right room, briefly considering that you've managed to wind up at the armour gallery. However, it is the headmistress' writing on the board that confirms you are indeed at the right place: Please stand next to one of the suits. Class will begin shortly.

Speaking of the headmistress, where is she? The woman is nowhere in sight. In her usual place at the front stands a suit of armour just like all the others scattered about the room, unmoving and perhaps even a little intimidating. The only differences with this particular metal gear is its position in the room and the rune carved on the middle of its breastplate.

If you are curious about the carved rune, feel free to take a closer look. Perhaps you will recognize it. Otherwise, simply do what the message says by pairing up with a suit of armour and fix your hair or adjust your tie while you wait for today's lesson to begin. Headmistress Hawthorne surely will be making an appearance soon enough.

OOC: 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 will continue in roughly 24 hours. The lesson is currently at the main activity. Feel free to jump in!

astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf

Derf was wiping a bit of worm from his face when, well, EVERYTHING seemed to happen at once. It was hard to really catch everything, particularly when he had one of the creatures so close to his person - LITERALLY on the other side of his breastplate! - but he could certainly hear the spells his classmates were casting and that was beneficial.

But then a little lingering thought hit him - something the Headmistress had said and, er, he had selectively not heard until this moment. They were all supposed to work TOGETHER and they all tooooootally were not. Although there was a particular spell that many were casting and, well, great minds think alike?

Peering around his armour, the Hufflepuff caught the creature...admiring itself in the reflection from his breastplate...well then. He hadn't taken the creature to be VAIN...but this was certainly helpful. Although he could not speak for the rest of the creatures if they too would find their own reflections appealing. Although he WAS impressed that they were self-aware enough to recognize themselves. Like...that was SUUUUUUUUUPER neat!

Derf was calculating a plan of attack, everyone using Aguamenti somehow, when he heard Scarlett shouting about the skrewt DYING. "NO YOU CAN'T!" the third year shouted as he jumped to his feet with his wand already pointed at the older girl. And since, er, Aguamenti was on his mind...that was what he ended up casting. Right at her.

Oops.

It took about another half second to realize that one of the creatures was going AFTER her too (well, karma was funny that way) but Derf couldn't very well justify the death of a classmate - especially one that was helping him with Divination - and soon his wand was flourished at her again. "Protego!"

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Whoa whoa WHOA!

Jessa staggered back a step when a ball of fire was suddenly hurled in her direction. Having tried and failed at a non-verbal protego, she didn't think standing directly in line with it would have been such a good idea. The suit, she had full confidence in but for the patch of exposed skin on her face, she wouldn't be taking that chance.

Yikes. Look at that speed. That persistence. Look at it headed right for her.

It SO wanted to come back to the makeshift lab she'd created up on the sixth floor in one of the old, disused classrooms. Yep. It'd heard about the other test subjects currently housed up there and the way they were well taken care of. It WANTED to be poked and prodded under a microscope. There wasn't a second to lose. Jessa leaped at it, meeting it half way as she fell to the floor.

One way or another, she would be keeping this thing. The Headmistress hadn't said no, making this fair game.

"C'mere you rotten tempered thing." Jessa grabbed for whatever part of it she could manage, forsaking her wand completely in the moment.

Yes, Marilyn had been more than happy to play along for the sake of the lesson. So that things ran smoothly. Solidarity, but....this was going to be a hard "no" from her. Apologies, Regina.

Taking several steps back from the armor she'd been doctoring with her rune carving, the older blonde woman whipped out her wand, preparing to block off the back part of the classroom. So that she could make her observations in peace, with some guarantee of safety. Besides, there was no way she was squeezing her body into that armor. Her enlarged belly wouldn't allow it. And if that hadn't been enough to convince her....a young girl (Jessa) had just discarded her wand and flung herself down at one of the horse-sized creatures. It seemed counter-productive to what this class was supposed to be teaching today...Protection, correct? Why did Marilyn get the sense that she was meaning to collect it?

Continuing to take steps back, until she was in a good spot, she moved her wand in a wide arching motion, throwing up a strong shield to keep the Blast-Ended Skrewts at bay. Away from herself, anyway. As far as the students were concern, Marilyn thought this was a brilliant learning exercise. The hands-on approach was truly the best way. And yes, she'd have thought that even if her own child had been present. It didn't get any easier out in the real world...

Eyes darting around at the sudden shouting...only to find the same small Hufflepuff boy from before (Derf), the blonde snorted. She idly wondered if he was this dramatic in all his lessons. But then again, Marilyn supposed it wouldn't have been Hogwarts if the children attending weren't next-level theatrical. Teenagers. It was a wonder how the staff team wasn't entirely overwhelmed.... Oh, and Charlotte was handling herself well among the fray. Also, the other Gryffindor boy (Ronan). Transfiguration was an interesting tactic. The Gryffindors were appropriately Gryffindoring. Yes, she saw you, Zoryn.

Recollecting her clipboard, she retook her seat and began adding additional comments.

"Thanks, Kitty." She noticed the Head Girl had joined her to extinguish the fire. Regardless what had happened to the Ravenclaw girl (and yes, she heard the rumor about her), Ava did not mind her help in here. Weren't they supposed to work together against these hybrid creatures?

But Merlin, it seemed like they made the skrewt unhappy by extinguishing their fire and they seemed attempting to made an attack to them. Ugh, the Gryffindor could just send stunning charm or petrified them but the Headmistress had warned them to treat the invaders in any humane manner. So that means, those two spells were not an option. How about ensnarement charm that Hirsch had taught them? Heh, it barely worked on a little pervert potato-head creature, let alone on a beastly blast-ended skrewts in front of them right now.

Ava muttering the galdr once again until it glowed brightly. "Protego totalum!" She aimed her wand to the herd of skrewts.

Ha, ha, it worked! There was now a duck standing where the blast-ended skrewt once was. A much less dangerous creature by half. One that could be subdued by simply giving it some bread or a cracker. There wasn't much time to celebrate, however, as there were plenty more of the dangerous creatures running around to transfigure.

Ronan took aim at another one of the creatures. "Ducklifors!" Hopefully, it would work a second time. And a third, since he had taken aim at another of the attacking creatures. "Ducklifors!" Their names, in his head anyway, were Quinn, Lynn and Fin, by the way.

No, she hadn’t realized that Char had basically answered her question already. There was that little detail of SMOKE coming from underneath that door that had distracted Stasya enough that she’d neglected to pay attention to what the others had been saying, not to mention getting the rune activated on her suit of armor. As it was, she was still not entirely sure it was as strong as it ought to be, but at least the other spell had worked. The suit of armor had adjusted itself to fit her long limbs. Plus, the headmistress hadn’t seemed entirely disappointed with her answer. She’d just said that they’d be discussing that later. So she wasn’t too bothered by it all, and besides, the mysterious door had literally been blasted off its hinges to reveal a horde of skrewts.

Was that the right word? As the others had broken away from each other to go on the offensive, the second year had gotten distracted by wondering what exactly the proper word was for a group of skrewts. Maybe that was something to ask Professor Wayland. If the CoMC professor knew about this lesson because she really didn’t want to get the headmistress in trouble. But she figured she had to have asked him, because she’d obviously had to get the skrewts from somewhere. Plus, the fact the headmistress had been clear about that they weren’t supposed to hurt the creatures…

Except that didn’t change the fact all the fire and skrewts were a little scary. And there was Jessa trying to catch a skrewt, Derf exploding worms and weirdly getting a skrewt to flirt with its reflection…Ronan turning them into ducks. Okay. Ducks weren’t scary, but she didn’t think that was subduing the skrewts. Neither was telling them to die, like Scarlett had done, and she’d been tempted to follow Derf’s lead and deal with that except she didn’t. Instead, she had found herself moving over toward Charlotte, slipping a little on all the water collecting on the floor.

She was curious about that spell the older Gryffindor had cast. That and she sent a freezing spell in the direction of the nearest skrewt just to stay safe. She didn’t exactly trust the skrewts, even if she’d rather not hurt them.

Not a Bang-Ended Scoot. Smh. *BURNS* *STINGS* *BITES*

An average-sized skrewt was waltzing her way across the room when she was suddenly SOAKED. WITH. WATER. Naturally, the create took offense to this. She had been minding her own business, making her way downtown, walking fast, faces passed, and was homebound. She hadn't even been blasting fire at anyone!

But now she was FURIOUS. The female skrewt didn't hesitate to latch herself onto the girl's (Zoryn) armour and start sucking away. Where was the blood? Why wasn't this shiny thing quenching her thirst for revenge?

-----

The skrewt that had been admiring her reflection in the shield was quite taken aback when the boy (Derfael) jumped to his feet and started blasting water at one of the other humans in the room, taking the shield with him. It was triggering. It made her realize why her mommy and daddy were fighting these ... these ... THESE MONSTERS. She spat fire out of her bum at him.

As for the skrewt that was savagely thrusting its stinger at a girl (Scarlett), its stinger made contact with the invisible shield the boy had casted. It continued to whack its stinger over and over and over again. Eventually the shield would start to break, granted the armour itself would produce enough protection.

-----

"C'mere you rotten tempered thing."

The male skrewt was now being touched by the human (Jessa), which both annoyed it and humored it. He didn't like being touched, and at the same time he felt that this was a very stupid human. He was bigger than her. If she wanted to wrestle, then it was go time.

His stinger made contact with the girl's armour. Then again. And again.

-----

A skrewt had caught sight of the older human (Marilyn) and was casually inching toward her. He had already targeted her as easy prey, considering she was backing away from everyone and was without armour. It's stinger made contact with the magical barrier she had produced.

Knock, knock?

-----

The four skrewts made quick work to attack the girls (Ava, Kitty). The original managed to make contact with one of the protective suits the human's were wearing, his stinger banging against it a few times. As for the other three, the female skrewts were attempting to suck at their feet and the other male continued to shoot fire in their direction.

Then a large protective shield was made from magic, though the armour was enough to keep the human's safe, had been casted and blasted the four skrewts away. That didn't stop them from quickly returning, stingers banging against and fire being blasted at the barrier to weaken it.

-----

While the transfiguration worked the first time, the attempts that followed didn't exactly go as planned. The spells that the boy (Ronan) had casted after caused the skrewts that were targeted to have another layer of hybridity.

'Quinn' was still quacking away, trying not to get caught in the line of actual fire. Her wings were flailing about, causing her to take flight even though there really wasn't anywhere for her to take refuge.

As for the other skrewts, well, 'Lynn' had sprouted feathers that were catching on fire. 'Fin' had grown duck wings, however. The beast was flapping those wings, levitating slightly off the floor, blasting fire at the boy and lashing his stinger at him.

-----

The skrewt that was sending fire at one of the human's (Charlotte) was now frozen thanks to another two-legger (Stasya). The sucking female skrewt that was noisily threatening the older Gryffindor now turned on the younger, seeing that her bae wasn't moving.

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! She was never going to let Jack go. Never.

The skrewt revved up her rear and released the flames. This place was going to be lit.

Regina, in a similar fashion to Marilyn (no judgement for her not wanting to be involved with the students; this lesson was for them after all -- the armour was just a precuation), stayed out of the action. However, instead of blocking off part of the room, the headmistress was still vulnerable to the skrewts. The shield would be enough to protect her, even if one of the creatures decided to attack her.

"No, Miss Cambridge, you are NOT keeping any of the skrewts," the woman stated in response to her question. These weren't pets or anything to be experimented on any further.

As the skrewts continued to roam free around the room, the woman was intently watching the reactions of the students. She was observing, mentally taking not of the spells they were casting and how well they were faring. Algiz was at work here, folks! The armour they all were wearing was and would keep them safe from the flames as well as any suckers and stingers.

Well, almost all of them were wearing the armour. There was a lone Hufflepuff who, for some reason, had apparently missed that crucial instruction. "MR. ASHBURRY-HAWTHORNE, PUT THAT ARMOUR ON RIGHT NOW!"

Honestly. Common sense.

Eyes moved to the others, impressed with their usage of spells. Aquamenti was doing them some favours, at least when it came to extinguishing the skrewts' flames. Though was it really working in subduing the beasts? Regina noticed that it seemed to make them only more upset.

The orange light coming from Charlotte's wand made the woman curious, wondering just what the girl was going to do. The Isa carving that was on her shield now was promising.

Suddenly the sound of quacking filled her hears. What the -- oh. The headmistress' head turned toward Ronan, who had successfully transfigured one of the skrewts into a duck. Needless to say, she was impressed. Though she was a bit taken aback at the one that now had duck wings. Merlin's beard...

An approving smile was given toward Stasya, who had just frozen one of the skrewts. That was one of several ways to go about stopping them. She hoped the others were willing to think of the other methods that could be used in this situation.

Lastly, her focus landed on Kitty and Ava. So far the two were getting on pretty well, and Ava had just casted a strong shield. Though was the shield really necessary? "Miss Burton, while I am impressed by your magical shield, remember that your armour does have the energies of Algiz surging through it. There is really no need for magical shields to be casted." Unless you were an amour-less Derfael.

Speaking of not casting magical barriers or even using a wand at all, Jessa caught the woman's attention once more. Wow. Talk about putting the power of Algiz to the test.

"Alright, everyone! In ten more minutes I want to see these skrewts restrained. Figure out how to humanely stop them with magic," she briefly instructed to the whole group. "And keep in mind that some spells will work more efficiently than others. Regardless of what you cast, however, your armour will protect you." So, if they made a mistake, at most the armour would be lightly scratched, burned, or dented by the skrewts.


OOC: Hello, everyone! You all are doing great! Just a heads-up that the lesson will be wrapping up tomorrow in roughly 34 hours from the time this post was made. I'm hoping to get a couple more SKREWT! posts made before then, so keep on posting. :)

HAHA!!! The water was working!!! The Skrewt looked like a soggy transfiguration assignment left in the middle of the courtyard during a monsoon. Zoryn let out an echoing LAUGH, before realizing that the Skrewt was making it's way towards her at a horrendously fast pace!!!! !!!! !!!!! !!!!!

And while the amor was good at protecting, unfortunately also made running away VERY difficult. Her lets were too stiff for this!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the time the skrewt had a hold of her--presumably to suck out her insides--it was too late to do anything other than let out a blood curdling SCREAM. "SOS, SOMEONE HELP ME!!! I'M TOO YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF POTENTIAL TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!" She was clearly going to die right here right now and the world didn't even know her name yet.

What was the point of being dead if no one was gonna be sad about it except for her parents????? Zor needed the world to be in mourning. This was no way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"AHHH HELP!!!!!!"

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Wait.....WHAT?

Merlin's beard she wished the woman had told her that BEFORE she'd gone and decided to wrangle with this thing. Don't get her wrong, the Ravenclaw didn't care that this thing was bigger than her and naturally weighed more, she cared that she'd wasted all this time only to find out it could be hers.

It wasn't like she'd keep it forever....just...until she was done getting information.

No? Fine.

Jessa took hold of the stinger that tried to penetrate her armour and shoved it away from her before reaching for her wand again. The young girl cast the only spell she could manage non-verbally, the levitation charm to get it off its feet and more importantly off her. To be completely fair, non-verbally, the spell was shaky at best but she'd already caved to carve the rune verbally, she couldn't risk trying something else when she knew this was literally the only thing she could half get her wand to cooperate with--especially with that time warning....and ....Zoryn screaming....?

Not waiting to see how high the skrewt would eventually rise, the Ravenclaw rolled from under the hopefully rising frame and turned toward the Gryffindor. "Zoryn, you've got armour, remember? It can't actually hurt you--unless you did the spell wrong." Which...they probably shouldn't have waited to find out. Yeah. Again, Jessa cast a rather shaky wingardium leviosa non-verbally, hoping for the best while prepared to step in further at the worst.

It was nice working on a team with Ava. Kitty probably would have overwhelmed if she'd tried her strategy alone. The Skrewts were more agitated than ever after they'd put out the fire and now were coming at them three at a time! Kitty raised her wand arm defensively, but Ava's Protego spell combined with Algiz pushed them back temporarily."Nice one!" she shouted above the roar of chaos to be heard.

But then the Skrewts were advancing again. Kitty pointed her wand at one of the Skrewts and shouted, "Stupify!" And how dare anyone suggest stunning them was inhumane. Stupify wasn't capable of injury and it didn't even hurt. All it did was keep its target incapable of motion, which was much less than what the Skrewts were trying to do to them!

Er...hopefully the Headmistress saw it that way too and wouldn't be angry.

Default Over by Zoryn and Jessa .... !!!! Mention of Derf's worm splattering too o.o
YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers

What in Merlin's beard just happened?!? One moment there was lecture and the next there was a bang there was an army of skrewts blasting fire from their bums. And Jessa was trying to capture one? And there was water shooting around and wasn't this Runes class?? Not Defense? Not Creatures?

Then again, the headmistress seemed to have an affinity for creatures in her lessons and it was kind of a way to show them the practical application of runes, so it actually made sense. Only thing was that Skylar was iffy about defense, mostly due to lack of confidence strangely. And worm guts shower? Where in the world?!? The fifth year glanced around for wherever the worm guts may have come from, bewildered.

Stare. Why couldn't she think about what charms or jinxes to use? Why was she just standing there ? Waiting for an attack ?? And then she heard it; SOS, SOMEONE HELP ME!!! I'M TOO YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF POTENTIAL TO DIE!!!!!!!!!! a voice that she recognized as the person who had been staring at her rune carving and chanting. So dramatic, Zoryn Spinnet, and while Skylar really could care less about the younger girl, she also didn't want her to die. Who would she pick on for the remainder two years she had left at Hogwarts?

Mentally considering her options, she aimed her wand at its underside casting impedimenta at the one that seemed to have latched itself onto Zoryn's armor.

astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf

The third year had yet again found himself a complete and utter mess in Ancient Runes. Then again it would probably be easier if one were to count on their fingers how many lessons and activities he did NOT find himself in some sort of predicament. At least he was not under a Full Body-Bind Curse at the edge of the Forbidden Forest this time?

Yeah. Looking at YOU Head Girl. And staying faaaaaaaaaaaaar away from her wand this time around too. Getting struck with one of those this lesson could be...

"WOAH!"

HOLY FLAMING SALAMANDERS THAT HAD BEEN CLOSE!

Derf just BARELY managed to avoid some butt!fire from one of the creatures with a well timed roll. Only problem was that he ALSO sorta lost his wand in the process and now had to go crawling back over to get it. To make matters worse...the Headmistress was yelling at him. Well, it WAS a warranted yell and even the Hufflepuff could admit to that. Too much time trying to invoke his rune and then Scarlett was talking about these magnificent creatures DYING and, well, there was a lot of stimuli going on, okay?

"S-S-Sorry!" he squeaked apologetically to the Headmistress as he booked it back over towards his breastplate that was still stuck in the ground. Bending at the knees, the third year tugged and tuuuuuuuuuugged until he pulled it free and then scampered over to one of the remaining suits to start the process of FINALLY getting himself in proper attire.

Which meant loads of CLANKING and DINGING noises as he tried to do so QUICKLY because he was super worried about the skrewts and how agitated they were all getting with all the water being thrown at them. But HEY! At least his rune was still glowing, right?

Small victories.

Not a Bang-Ended Scoot. Smh. *BURNS* *STINGS* *BITES*

The male skrewt was not happy that his stinger had been grabbed by the human (Jessa). It also wasn't enjoying the fact that it was now off its own feet. As it rose in the air, the beast swung its stinger at the girl, though was unable to reach her. It was time for Plan B.

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!

-----

The skrewt was still sucking away at the girl's (Zoryn) armour, unable to penetrate it in spite of all the screaming that was coming from her mouth. It was infuriating. Even the occasional flame from her bum wasn't doing anything besides give the suit a light burn mark.

The Ravenclaw's (Jessa) nonverbal levitation spell didn't affect the skrewt much besides levitate one end of it, but the end with the suckers remained strong. The beast remained attached to the shield until the Slytherin's (Skylar) jinx sent the skrewt flying off of it, flames soaring through the air.

It was the screaming that attracted the other skrewts that were nearby. Four of them, in fact, were now approaching the trio, one spewing out flames and the other three rapidly swinging their stingers toward them.

-----

The thick armour of the skrewt was enough to keep it safe from the girl's (Kitty) stunning spell. Once it made contact with its outtershell, the spell ricochetted off of it up toward the ceiling. Had it been casted elsewhere on the creature, it likely would have knocked it unconscious. ... But there were better spells that could be used on these hybrids to stop them.

The skrewt that was targeted by the girl then turned its attention onto her, blasting fire from its rear.

The other three skrewts continued to approach, one following the same action by screwing out flames and the other two attacking from either side of the girls by swipping their stingers at them.

-----

The skrewt that had sent some fire his (Derfael) way made a point of tracking the boy. She was still quite upset that she was unable to look at herself. Now that he was clanking and dinging around, it made it significantly easier for her to watch him and wait for the opportune moment.

Joining the ranks beside her was her BFF. After a little rear end flaring, the two then approached with loud sucking noises and released their angry fire.

Success! Her impediment jinx worked amazing in sending the skrewt flying off of the younger gryffindor. Only problem? Flames spewed out, pelting against the metal of her armor. Which wasn't really a problem, except the heat it made the armor. Yea, Skylar was definitely feeling the heat.

Another problem. They now had not one, but FOUR skrewts charging at her, Jessa and Zoryn. Uhhhhh.............. run away? At least that was Skylar's first thought, which probably wasn't the best option, since they were meant to use their wands against these skrewts, yet not harm them. Her jinx worked well before, but to aim for three that were swinging their stingers and then the fourth one spewing flames, making her armor heat up even more... yea, not happening. Yes, run away, was still on the foremost of her brain. But instead, she jabbed her wand forward at the three swinging their stingers, casting "Incarcolvo!" and hoping to entrap them in a mesh cage. Please, please, please.

The Gryffindor continued screaming until she saw Jessa coming to her rescue!!!!! “Oh,” was all she had to say to the Ravenclaw’s knowledge. Well, it was still kinda scary. Even if it was all pretend and her Algiz was actually gonna keep her safe ’n all.

Jesse Cambridge was, quite literally, her knight in shining armor.

Only…. Whatever she did didn’t actually work and Zoryn was still being latched on to by the MONSTER. Which meant, screaming would once again resume. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though a few moments later the skrewt went flying away!!! VICTORY!!!!! She turned to thank the Ravenclaw for BOTH of her acts of bravery, but instead of seeing Jessa’s wand raised this time… She noticed Skylar’s in the air. Uh. Never mind. Zoryn would rather die than have to admit the fact that she owed this Slytherin her life now. Could the skrewt please come back?

… NOT FOUR OF THEM.

JUST ONE!!!!!!!!!!

Man, it really is true what they say. Gotta watch what you wish for, GEEZ.

Unsure of how to handle the situation, the Gryffindor raised her wand the same time as Skylar and shouted a loud, “Rictusempra!!” At one of the four beasts that were bounding in on them.
Her spell arsenal was weak, ok?

Scarlett thought it was kind of sweet that the one skrewt decided to jump in front of it's...sibling? Significant other? She wasn't sure. Did they even have genders? That didn't matter right now. Either way, it was kind of nice, and she let out a triumphant "WOO!" when her spell made contact and managed to inflict a hit on the creature. Then her thoughts were cut off as she heard Derf screaming in her ear, and then suddenly...she was all WET.

WHAT?

She let out a little shriek, surprised by the spell, and then she toppled over. There had been a skrewt running RIGHT behind her, and she tripped over its stupid scaly self and fell RIGHT on her bum, her wand flying out of her arm and into the fray.

WHY had he done that again!? She hadn't even heard what he had been screaming (or registered WHY he had been screaming in the first place). She DID see, however, that he was in the target zone for one particularly cranky skrewt, and because of her little tumble, she didn't have her wand and couldn't try and stop him.

Whoops.

"Derf! Look out!" she cried. She was still mad at him, but she didn't want the kid to get FRIED either.

Ooops?

Ronan didn't know rather it was distraction or what, but something had caused his transfiguration to go horribly wrong the second and third time around and instead of three ducks flapping around and trying to find a safe place to get, there was one. One of the skrewts had sprouted flaming feathers that luckily seemed to be keeping it busy. The other had sprouted duck wings, however and was now flying....and aiming right for him! He quickly threw himself to the floor and started rolling away with clanging sounds. Once he felt that he was out of the line of fire, he sat up, aimed his wand at the one he had planned on calling Fin and cast a nonverbal Finite (the only spell he could do nonverbally at this point in time) at him.

This was going swimmingly. #sarcasm

The orange light caused it to noisily suck the air, a threat that her suckers would be doing their worst soon enough.

The sucking of the skrewt caused another of the skrewts, a male one, to realize what was going on. OH MY GAWD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ATTACK! The second skrewt flared his rear at the human and tooted flames at her. BACK OFF, TWO-LEGS! THAT'S MY BAE!

Ducks weren’t scary, but she didn’t think that was subduing the skrewts. Neither was telling them to die, like Scarlett had done, and she’d been tempted to follow Derf’s lead and deal with that except she didn’t. Instead, she had found herself moving over toward Charlotte, slipping a little on all the water collecting on the floor.

She was curious about that spell the older Gryffindor had cast. That and she sent a freezing spell in the direction of the nearest skrewt just to stay safe. She didn’t exactly trust the skrewts, even if she’d rather not hurt them.

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! She was never going to let Jack go. Never.

The skrewt revved up her rear and released the flames. This place was going to be lit.

So, if they made a mistake, at most the armour would be lightly scratched, burned, or dented by the skrewts.


OOC: Hello, everyone! You all are doing great! Just a heads-up that the lesson will be wrapping up tomorrow in roughly 34 hours from the time this post was made. I'm hoping to get a couple more SKREWT! posts made before then, so keep on posting. :)


Well that hadn't gone completely as planned but not completely against the plan either.

"Thanks Stas!" Char hollered, when the younger girl jumped in to help. But she couldn't pause for too long. Charlotte redoubled her attack, making it a combo this time, and non-verbal because it was easier to do that if you were tangling with so many incantations at once.

So it was Glacius Persequoris Skrewt's belly this time, and a shot of ice at the skrewt's unprotected and vulnerable underside, with the homing spell to help be sure it got there, and the added oomph of the isa rune to help the freezing spell do its thing. A second blast of the same followed the first, but at a different Skrewt. Char didn't spare a glance for the Headmistress when she spoke out but she kept it in mind: she was going to be as humane as possible! No hurting the skrewts! But freezing them a bit could certainly stop them in their tracks.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Well that'd been a relief, for however long it lasted. It felt good knowing the spell had worked non-verbally even with the wad of fire being sent her way but the feeling couldn't last when her second attempt had barely done anything.

Jessa bit her lip, marginally concerned for Zoryn in light of the fact she hadn't actually managed to save her. Thankfully Skylar stepped up and they could get back to the--HOLY KNEAZLE THERE WERE FOUR OF THEM!!!

jhsbgfjguregwouegfo

Jessa watched both Skylar and Zoryn throwing off spells at the creatures but all she could do was stand and stare for several minutes. As she'd just proven, her levitating was only so good and no more if she insisted on casting non-verbally and she DID insist. If she kept leaning back on her verbals like a crutch, she would never master her non-verbals and Valko would never teach her that curse.

Of course...when she'd first decided to quit cold turkey....she didn't think it'd have such an impact on her lessons. Merlin's soggy beard.

UH...uh.......could she just...stand here....?

Didn't seem like an option, they were moving in too quickly. Once again she tried a non-verbal body binding, praying to Merlin that SOMETHING would happen.

Viv giggled. Why would anyone want to keep a Blast-Ended Skrewt? Why?! They were so dangerous! She continued to cast spells on the Skrewts! She also giggled at Ashbury-Hawthorne. He could die! Professor Hawthorne cares for her safety. Aguamenti was an awesome spell. She wished she could drink the water being conjured. She was so thirsty! She then looked over at Ronan! She asked him, "Out of every incantation you could conjure you transfigure your skrewt into a duck?!" She was bemused. She then started restraining her skrewt. She stunned them with Stupefy and remembered her armor.

Though she felt safe behind the spelled blockade, the noise level in the Runes classroom was still mildly stress-inducing. The key, however, was that she could now properly watch and pay attention to all aspects without needing to keep her guard up sky-high. A lot would've probably been missed if her attention stayed split for the entire lesson.

Having just made herself comfortable again, the blonde glanced between the various students "battling" against the Skrewts, and her notepad. The one thing that really impressed the former Slytherin was how....determined they all seemed to be in protecting one another. Camaraderie was refreshing to witness, when one spent so much time in the competitive world of Wizarding World politics. The Ministry could be very dog-eat-dog, and...these children weren't nearly as jaded yet. That brought a tiny smile to her face...

Attention ripped back by one of the creatures trying to invade her private bubble, Marilyn squinted. She didn't feel her magic was faulty enough to allow it entry, but... Well, if the need to defend herself arose, she'd be ready. Surely something as simple as...Immobulus would work. Or even one of her daughters favorites; Ebublio. Encasing it in an indestructible bubble... Not nearly as theatrical as what these children were coming up with, but it'd do the job in a pinch.

....And again, Gryffindors. Bless the Gryffindors for their entertainment value.

Not a Bang-Ended Scoot. Smh. *BURNS* *STINGS* *BITES*

The rootin' tootin' fire beasties grew closer and closer as each second went by. They were wasting no time to seek revenge, some because their pals had been rudely treated and others because, well, this place flat out agitated them. These humans were SO RUDE.

And the spell that the girl (Skylar) had cast was just downright mean. It was NOT fetch. It just simply wasn't going to happen. These humans were mean girls. And the three of them being trapped inside a cage together was definitely not grool. Even though they had been stopped from moving forward, their flames, more intense than before, were still able to get through the bars.

The remaining skrewt was left to her own defences. Though it didn’t take long for her to be hit by one of the human's (Zoryn) spells. In spite of the magic that had been casted on it, it did no good. The skrewt's armour made it nearly impossible for it to be tickled. If anything, all the spell did was move it back a foot or two.

It then began to move forward once more ... only to freeze, half-way at least, thanks to another one of the two-legger's (Jessa) spells. Half of its body was limb, causing it to fall to the floor. It's still functional side made it move in a circle, going nowhere at all.

-----

WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, DUMB DUMB! Gawsh. Humans sure had a knack for acting like they owned the place, did they? The skrewt that one of the girls (Scarlett) tripped over shot out a burst of fire from her rear and moved forward, making sucking noises.

She was going to show this human that this was the year of the skrewt. With her being wandless, this was sure to be easy. If only that armour wasn't here. She was thirrrrrrrsty for blood.

-----

'Fin' flapped his way around the room, following the boy (Ronan) the best he could with his new body feature. These wings sure were coming in handy!

Out of his rear, flames continued to spew. He following the clanging sound and locked his target in, the stinger ready to strike an impactful blow...

And then the skrewt fell to the ground, the duck wings disappearing. The beast angrily let out a great blast of flame and charged.

-----

With some spellwork and the help of an additional rune, one of the skrewts was frozen on the spot. She was just about to release some fire out of its bottom, but suddenly the flame died out and she could no longer move. With all its might, the beast tried to break free of this horrible trick, but was not able to do so.

A second skrewt soon joined the ranks. At least he would be frozen with his love. #relationshipgoals

Well played, human (Charlotte). Well played.

-----

More water was conjured thanks to another tiny human (Viv), which only upset the skrewts nearby even more. What was it with humans using water? Didn’t they know that FIRE was good? Sheeeeeesh!

And then stunning was just RUDE. A few of the baby skrewts, whose outer shell was still developing, easily were knocked out. This of course had a pride. Mommy and daddy skrewt did not appreciate this one bit. No, they did not. So, naturally, the two decided to teach the human a lesson that would be burned in her memories forever.

FIIIIIIIIIIRE! FIIIIIIIIIIRE! FIIIIIIIIIIRE!

-----

The skrewt that had been knocking on the woman's (Marilyn) shield was, to put it mildly, hating on the human hardcore. How rude of her to not let her inside her private bubble. Was that how she treated everyone? The skrewt would have at least let the human come inside her dwelling had the roles been reversed. Granted the human would've been roasted.

Speaking of roasting, the skrewt angrily spat out fire from its backside. FIGHT LIKE A MAN, YOU COWARD!

Five ... four ... three ... two ... one ...

After letting the students take ownership of their own learning and letting them figure out what would and wouldn't work against the blast-ended skrewts, Regina then stepped out onto the battlefield. Wand at the ready, the headmistress made her way to the centre of the classroom. Naturally, this caused a few of the skrewts to turn on her, blasting fire in her direction and swinging at her with their stingers.

Of course, she was unphased by this. She let the flames hit her armour, causing a very faint burn to appear, and simply flicked her wand at the male skrewts without speaking. A bright purple light, along with a purple flame and smoke, appeared one moment and the next the targeted skrewts were floating in the air in a bubble that they and their flames could not get through.

"We've now come to the end of the class period, ladies and gentlemen. And it looks like we all managed to survive thanks to the protective energies of Algiz. Congratulations. Remember to keep this rune in mind should you ever need a source of protection in the future.

"Before you go, lend me a hand by stopping our fiery friends from roaming free and setting the entire castle ablaze. I strongly recommend Immobulus or Ebublio for the quickest results," she instructed. "Once all of the skrewts have been contained, you may take off your armour and head to your next class."

Another skrewt was then trapped within the confines of a strong, large bubble. She watched as it floated up toward the ceiling, bobbing when it bumped into another of the bubbled skrewts.

"No homework, by the way." Someone was clearly in the holiday spirit.


OOC: Thank you all so much for participating in this lesson! I hope you had fun with it. I will keep this thread open for another 24 hours for you to make your character departures. Again, thank you for being a part of this lesson, and I hope to see you when our next lesson comes around!

Oh, thank goodness.

Giving the Shrewt confronting her shield a withering stare, Marilyn quickly maneuvered her wand to lower the defense...only to immobilize the creature in the next moment with Ebublio. The young Hufflepuff boy seemed especially attached to the lives of these creatures. Even though they released flames from their backends. Comical as that might sound, it was actually repulsive to witness.

This lesson had been insightful.

"Regina, thank you for allowing me to sit in." This was said as she tucked the notepad away into her bag. There was a pause before she hefted it up onto her shoulder, still keeping her wand handy. The idea was to sort a few of the remaining Skrewts before leaving, in case any of the students continued to struggle with them.

Eventually, however, she made an exit. She suddenly felt quite nauseous.
