"Do that! But no wands... Oooo that's harder, aint it!" She shook her head... aint it? Ick...

Alessia did not give Cela a glare... she wanted to... but didn't... Why did SHE get all the boys! And now... the cute Hufflypuff prefect who caught her in the hall way with that Old Old Forrester dude. He must have just wanted her to himself. She winked at DomDom...

"Why not Lyra! This is going to be a mythology class..." She said smiling.

"Alright! Sit on the floor, let's get started!" She said standing. "Now remember, listen to my question carefully and answer, do not just take it directly out of the book… I want you to read and comprehend, then answer. Easy one first. Now, what type of mythology is connected to Ancient Runes?"

She wanted to giggle at Dominic. She was clearly getting under his skin, but he didn't even know her. She scooted closer to him then she leaned her head on his shoulder. Maybe he would be nice to her and get to know her. She felt bad for being mean to him and then totally trashing him on her Quill article, well not that bad as he did deserve some of it. Still she wanted to be friends with him.

She raised her hand. "Norse mythology. Like Loki and Valhalla and things like that." She said hoping she got the right answers

Daniel sat at the same spot he picked when he first came, near an open window. He then listened to the Professor's question. He then raised his hand, "Professor, this will be a very, very wild guess but, I think Ancient runes and mythology collided when the time when the gods and the mortals still mingle with each other." he said with a not so confident look up on his face.

Just like Clifford, Evangeline was seating right in the back of the class, doing her hardest to stay unnoticed. Hopefully, Lupa wouldn't snog Clifford's face off nor would she kill her. If that happened, Evangeline would consider this to be a good lesson.

Slowly, she raised her hand. "That'd be the Norse mythology, Professor." Ack. Evangeline had trouble calling the woman Professor now. "And the viking gods."

"Two points!" She said nodding.

"Well... yes, but I was looking for Norse, still, one point!" She said nodding.

"Such a smart boyf-" Hmmmm she couldn't tell everyone he was her boyfriend... Don't show favoritism, don't show favoritism... "Two" MILLION... nehhhh... "Uhmmm, Two points."

She sooooooooo wanted to deduct points from this one... but she'd given the correct answer... "Two points, smarty britches..." Grrrrrr... "Prefect Green... Sit over there..." she pointed to the left, "Prefect Carden... over there." she pointed to the right... Separate Evangeline from her (Less') boyfriend.

"Two points, Miles!" She said her smile returning to grace her face. Miles was HOT!

"Norse, right. Yay!! You all are doing great! Alright lets move on.” She said “I need five volunteers to be the Aesir? Who knows what the Aesir is and the names of the five?” she said smiling.

Smarty britches? Evangeline narrowed her eyes at the woman, for a moment completely forgetting she was her teacher for a moment. Grrr. At least, she had awarded her points. Bleh.

Evangeline would have rather stayed with Clifford than get the two points. Just about.

"Sure, Ma'am." She grunted through her teeth, looking anxiously over at Clifford. She would have refused, but she didnt want to get killed. Nor did she want Slytherin to lose points. Gathering her stuff, she stood up and walked over to where Lupa had sent her to, sitting by some ickle firstie.

At the Pro ... woman's next question, she raised her hand once more. "I'll volunteer! And the five Aesir are Odin, Frigg, Thor, Baldr and Tyr." HAH! The woman couldn't deduct points as long as she kept answering right. "They're the principal groups of gods of the pantheon of Norse mythology"

Alessia waited for other students to answer...


ooc: NO EDITING YOUR POSTS, I don't care what the reason, I WILL NOT count the answer. Doublepost if you have to, but I do not edit. Crayola, I'm going to count yours because your edit was done before the next post, but be sure next time to just leave it.

Paris glanced over at her prefects and had to giggle at Professor Lupa. She was lapping at the pool of insanity so it seemed. And for some reason it was giving Paris a tickle. She raised her hand to answer the question. "They would be Thor, who is my favorite Norse god, well right after Loki that is, and then there is Odin, Baldr, Tyr and Frigg." She told the professor with a smile.

Less ignored prefect prissy pants, hoping others would volunteer.

"Good Abby, take two points, you be Odin." She said making some notes. Then she waved her wand and had a white beard sprout off her face and made her bald. "Lovely!"

"Two points." She said. Didn't she tell him to call her Less... Oh right... she didn't want the others knowing her boyfriend was her student cause them they'd say he was getting preferencial treatment... "You will be Baldr... God of beauty and light..." she sighed like a school girl looking at him. "I don't have to do anything to you... you're already beautiful..." She sighed again.

"Two points to you too... and you will be Thor! God of Thunder!" She said in a deep manly voice. She cast her wand and the boy grew long red hair and a red beard.

"Two points!" The girl didn't volunteer, but she didn't want to have to call on Evangeline... "You can be Frigg," she said smiling at the girl. "She's married to Odin, and mother to Baldr." She cast her wand and gave the girl a cloud that followed her around.

No one else? No one was volunteering?

Alessia narrowed her eyes at the prefect... "Two points." she said and then smiled. "You can be Tyr." She said and giggled. "He sacrificed his arm to Fenrir..." How convenient... She waved her wand, and Evangeline's right arm dissappeared, hand and all.

Plymouth was tucked away, doing his best to not be seen. He was listening, sure, but he was AFRAID. Spin the Bottle with Professor Lupa - where she wanted to throw the bottle out - was traumatizing and Plymouth was afraid.


He peeked out to check on the volunteers. Too bad Copernicus hadn't got picked. Plymouth was SO certain that Copernicus deserved to be embarrassed publicly. And Cela hadn't either, so he could go back to hiding behind his classmates and jotting down notes.

She looked over to her boyfriend, he was sooooo dreeeeeeamy when he was blushing. And then she saw him eyeing PrimPrefectPrissyPants... in horror... Oh Yeah! She was uuuuuuugly! She smiled and turned to Evangeline.

"You'll get it back at the end of class..." Less told her lifting her chin... "Unless, you are willing to lose a gagillion points for dissobeying me! You volunteered. You are Tyr... You're lucky it's not the full moon, or the removal of your arm would have been more true to character..." She threatened... Had that ever been done? A Gagillion? That'd be fun...

"See Green? Why not take it in stride, like Willie here." She said and then told William, "Makes you look older..."

Out of the corner of her eye she saw her other boyfriend... the one with the fleas... Why was he sitting so far and hidden... Oh yeah... cause he didn't want to give her fleas! Duh! How sweet... Plymmidoodle was so caring to not want to share his fleas with her... though he should sit closer to Green... Armless and Fleafull...

"So... Abby stand up straight and show off your manly white beard." She levitated Abby and made her twirl. "Who can tell me about The Mighty Odin!" She asked and then smiled. "And remember, no regurgitating the text, I want you to read and comprehend."

ooc: I don't care if you are not the first to post, every one who posts will get points. I do not want you to Copy/Paste from a website... if you do, Less WILL deduct points for not following instruction... and as you can see she's not exactly... sane... today.

Cale looked around at all the answers and raised his hand. "Well, I know he was the main God of Norse people, right? OH, and he was the God of War, which was probably cause the Norse people liked to fight a lot, right? That makes sense that he'd be their main one," he added, thinking outloud, mainly to himself.

Tobi raised his hand, taking a deep breath before plunging into a long monologue, “In most Polytheistic belief systems, there is usually one who stands above the rest as a leader or a higher god. Such was the case with Odin, he was to Norse mythology as Zeus, Jupiter, Amun Ra was to Greek, Roman or Egyptian mythology, Egyptian being the murkiest to discern a leader among them, the most stunning parallels in mythology might be in Celtic and Norse Mythology. In Celtic Mythology, the god Lugh stands highest according to most mythologists, he is an intellectual god like Odin, as opposed to a god who took his throne by force like Jupiter or Zeus, depictions of both Odin and Lugh show them both to only have one eye. And in artwork, they are often depicted with ravens and spears ,which I think denotes that though they are said to be intellectual, they don’t merely lie down and take it if they should come under battle; The spear is a weapon of war, and the Raven is often an animal connected to battle, strife and death. And also interesting the Druids of the Celtic backrground used their own written language not unlike Runes, called Ogham, which represented different Trees, such as Oak or Elder, to communicate and perform divination.”

Another deep breath, he was starting to turn blue, he’d totally gone on about stuff that probably wasn’t what Professor Lupa wanted to know, but he found it really cool, “As for Odin himself, as I said before, he’s an intellectual god, often associated with wisom, magic, prophecy, and poetry. On the other side of the coin, he is associated with war, battle, hunting, death and victory, overall, and extremely complicated God warranting a lot of study to fully understand him.”
