| | Lesson Two - Mythology of Runes
Alessia entered the classroom and cleared the room of all desks and chairs... that was it... nothing. It was an empty classroom. She nodded to herself and ran around the room. She yelled at the top of her lungs... and smiled. Perfect. "Red Leather, Yellow Leather, Red Leather, Yellow Leather..." and as she messed up her third time she giggled and jumped up and down.
She then sat on the floor and waited for the students to enter. |

| Double Agent Stamps! Abby raises her hand. "Tyr was the god of war. It seems he lost this position to Odin. Tyr is very daring and stout hearted. He inspires courage, and heroism in battle. Tyr sways victory in wars. He is the boldest of the gods. The 'T' rune is named after Tyr. |

Cela raised her hand, "She's Tyr. Tyr is represented by the Rune Tiwaz, and is the god of war and victory and justice. He only had one hand because he put his right hand in the mouth of the Fenris wolf to keep the wold bound because, when set free, the wolf is destined to devour the Sun- the story of the Fenris wolf is in The Prose Edda too. Tyr has a day named after him too; Tuesday. He is represented by several symbols, a spear, a hand or glove and the North Star, which is also known as the Nail or the Tyr star."

Ouch. That fall looked like it hurt, even if he wasn't very fond of Clifford. He raised his hand at her next question. "Evangeline represents Tyr, the one handed god of warfare. He also is the god of victory and glory, and his name helps us to get the word Tuesday. He's also the son of Odin," he explained.

"Evangeline is Tyr," Clifford begun with a small smile up at his girlfriend. "Tyr's the god of single combat, victory and heroic glory and he's ... only got one hand." Hence the reason Professor Lupa had taken away Evangeline's. GRR. He wished he'd been Tyr. "Yeah, his hand got destroyed by the Fenris wolf, or something. Oooh. And y'know the day of the week Tuesday? That's in fact 'Tyr's Day.'" Quote:
Originally Posted by Hedwig18 Ana raised her hand "I think Evangeline is Týr" she said "He's the god of single combat, victory and heroic glory. He has only one hand, the other he sacrificed it to Fenrir....and he's son of Odin or Hymir..." she said Quote:
Originally Posted by roey "I agree Evangaline does seem to be Tyr. I believe that Tyr is son of Hymir, he has one arm and is god of single combat, victory and heroic glory." Chalice said slightly oddly. That was what she thought, but others had said similar things. Quote:
Originally Posted by Crayola Evangeline had been expecting her to be next, but she had - somehow - thought that Lupa would spare her from the levitating thing. But the woman was evil. Pure evil and the sixteen year old soon found herself floating around the room. Oh dear. Oh dear. Sure, it wasn't THAT high, but Lupa was the one thing keeping her from falling. Oh dear. "I'm Tyr. The god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology." The sixth year replied, very awkwardly raising her one hand. Hmmm. Was there a point when she was already on air? She just didnt want to lose points. "He's pictured as a one handed man ... obviously." The girl rolled her eyes a bit as she nodded towards the place where her arm should be. "He's called the "Leavings of the Wolf", since he lost his hand so that the wolf Fenrir could be bounded by the gods." Quote:
Originally Posted by bad_faith Shauna, who has been silent for the greater part of the class, puts her hand in the air. "Evangeline is Tyr. Some believe that he was considered father of the Gods and head of the Pantheon at one point." Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana Anna raised her hand and said, "Evangeline is Tyr, the god responsible for giving his name to the day Tuesday. Tyr is the god of single combat, victory, and heroic glory. He's also been portrayed as being a one-handed man, which is erm...well, you know, why Evangline currently has only one arm, as well," Anna said, giving her co-prefect an apologetic look. She briefly shivered at the thought of Evangeline sitting there, one-armed and appearing quite calm about it. Anna wasn't so sure she could remain that calm under those situations. "He was the son of Odin, although some believe he may have been the son of Hymir instead. He could have once been considered the father of the gods and head of the pantheon, which is the temple to all the gods." Quote:
Originally Posted by milloy112 "Evangeline is Tyr, the god responsible for giving his name to the day Tuesday. Tyr is the god of single combat, victory, and heroic glory. He's also been portrayed as being a one-handed man" Ross said giving another short answer. Quote:
Originally Posted by Oesed Upon seeing Clifford fall down with a thud, Willow blinked a couple of times. Ouch. That probably hurt.
And then she raised her hand again to reply, "Evangeline Green is Tyr, Professor, the one-armed God of warfare, single battle, heroic glory and victory, according to the Norse Mythology." Eyeing the Slytherin prefect floating above them all, Willow shrugged a little with an expression that was very close to be an apathetic one, before continuing, "Also, it is known that the word 'Tuesday' is a derivation from Tyr. He was also known for his great honesty and courage, ma'am." Quote:
Originally Posted by Ameh Raiden put his hand up. "Evangeline Green is supposed to be Tyr." Poor Evangeline, with her missing arm. "Tyr's called the one-handed man, because he's missing, well... his arm. Tuesday is supposed to be Tyr's day, because they used to pronouce Tyr like 'Teuw.' He uhm, he helped to tie up the wolf Fenrir, who was supposed to have eaten the sun should he get loose..." he thought for a second. "There was a werewolf a looooong time ago named Fenrir, wasn't there?" He swore he'd read about a werewolf named Fenrir... who had nommed on people when the moon wasn't full. He'd probably given all werewolves a really bad name... He made a face. "And apparently he took the sacrifices of people who got hanged..." Quote:

He is known as the 'Leavings of the Wolf', because he sacrificed his right hand to Fenrir, who would only be tied to a special silky ribbon thingy which he could not break, unless one of the gods put their hand in his mouth." Miles flicked through his textbook. "And because Tyr is brave and stuff, he was willing to do it." Quote:

Five points each" She said clapping. Quote:

I actually think that story is really fascinating, considering that Tyr willingly sacrificed his hand so that the wolf could be bound by a dwarf-made ribbon and would stop running rampant on the people and gods. According to legend, the ribbon still holds Fenrir, which means that the loss of one hand would have been a pretty good trade." "Cope, Single combat isn't hand to hand..." She said shaking her head. "Single combat is when in a battle one team choses a champion and the other one too, and then they fight each other... Wands, swords, anything goes. But the rest of your answer is right. Five points." She said nodding. Quote:

"K... homework! Mythology was spoken and painted... So you will write a short play or scene, with these five characters and what you know of them. And by short I mean no more than one page. For the gallery, feel free to draw a painting of them. I will post this on notice boards along with deadlines and such soon." She said and then popped a blood pop in her mouth. "Class Dismissed."

| Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door YAY!! She had gotten 5 points for her silly answer even if she was finding it hard to concentrate since she was still floating about and with NO ARM! Ack. But surely this would be over soon and she would ...
Wait. WHAT? Class dismissed? "Professor!" Evangeline squealed, rather alarmed now. This woman was going to kill her!! She was sure of that! And she was going to die now .. just after every person in the room left. "Would you mind putting me down? And giving me my arm back?" Please!! |

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow Clifford blinked in horror when Professor Lupa dismissed the class and Evangeline was still floating and one-armed. EH!? She had said she'd give Evangeline her arm at the end of the lesson, right? He was sure she had. She just HAD to!
"S'okay, Evie.." Clifford looked up at his floating, one-armed girlfriend in the hopes of reassuring her. "Professor Lupa," he then started, turning to the woman that wanted to snog him. "Please?"

"Clifford, you keep your boy cooties over there..." and she made a face that clearly said YUCK! "Ok Evy! I didn't forget..." She lied and dropped the girl to the floor. She then waved her wand to give her her arm back. "There! We're like BFFs now! K, back to the dorms for homework. K Buh Bye now!" She said giving Evangeline a hug.

Lyra wrote down her homework assignment while shaking her head. This professor was just...weird, strange was not even the correct word to use anymore. She was flirting with the boy students and it was a good thing that maybe Christian was NOT here at the moment. That would just highly upset her if someone was hitting on her man. Hmmm...and technically they were not together together...just she knew to find him in the future.
She went back to writing, then grabbed her things and walked out of the room before Professor Lupa began hexing students again.

| Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door Boy cooties? First the woman wanted to snog her boyfriend's face off, now she said he had cooties? What was wrong with her, eh? And Evy? What happened to the snarled Green? Goodness.
But thankfully, the girl set her down AND gave her her arm back. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! The sixth year clung to her arm with her other hand, getting the two to know eachother once more. She only hoped her arm worked now.
But Merlin, was it good to have TWO arms again!
"BFF's?" Evangeline blinked at the woman. But she HATED her. She had tried to hex her head off!! Why was she hugging her?! Stiff as a board, she looked alarmed over at Clifford, before quickly moving to collect her things. "Yes, sure ... back to the common room. Yes. Bye." She hastily said, grabbing Clifford by the hand and dragging him away. Gosh.
The woman was just absolutely nuts!

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow Clifford blinked. BOY COOTIES!? This was coming from the woman that wanted to take him to the whomping willow and snog the life outta him. Jeez, what was with her!? Ah well.. maybe she'd leave him alone now.
And.. WHY WAS SHE HUGGING EVANGELINE!?
Brave as he thought he was, Clifford was glad when Evangeline grabbed him by the hand and literally dragged him from the room. Professor Lupa was creepy.

She then turned and cast on William changing his hair back and beard off. Finally she removed the cloud from Paris. "There back to normal."

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ Smiling, Raiden packed his stuff up and stood from his seat, making sure to tuck his notes safely away into his bag. Looking at Professor Lupa, who had just set some students right after having changed their appearances for class, he stepped closer and bowed his head a little.
"Thank you for the interesting class, Miss Professor Lupa," he said softly. "And I hope you're not still mad at me for what happened before, at the Hourglasses. And thank you for fixing me afterwards, too." |

Paris made a face she rather liked her cloud. It would have been cool to walk around with it following her. "Professor I liked my cloud though." She said as she gathered up her books and things.
