| | The Great Oak Tree on the Grounds (Ancient Rune - Lesson 3)
Alessia was smiling and radiant as she stepped out on the grounds by the great oak tree... "Now this is MUCH better... No more Barking Dogs!" Peace and Quiet... Oh... Yes... and the students. "Are you all ready to learn about the Great Tree Spread?" She took her bag of runes out of her pocket and found a place on the ground under the shade of the tree to sit under. Class Guide: |

| ♥ Mrs. Itachi Uchiha™ & MAJNOO! : Bleach & Kyo & Natsume ♥ [ Maxh!Jesh ] Fyo raised his hand. "That's Perth or Pertho, professor," he said politely. He was enjoying this class. "Three of its meanings are mystery, mathematical odds and unknown outcome. All that applies to the Minister's regime - we have seen her words, more than her actions, and because we believe she is spirited enough, we have elected her. It's a big risk, and though there are better odds that she will lead us to success, the chance of failure remains."
He paused, then went on, "Since it's a choice between two extremes - success and failure - I would say that, if she employs moderation, she can easily win victory. If she does not, the chances are that it will be a "lose all" or, at the very least, "lose much" situation for her." |

She then looked through her text book and raised her hand. 'That rune is perth. It means secrets. So the answer to the question is a secret.' Well that can't be right. She thought long on this one but came to a failed answer, 'Well maybe she is a secretive person. She doesn't let people know her business which could be bad I guess, if she doesn't let anyone know what she is up too.' Not such a good answer, but she tried. Quote:

We may have taken a big chance electing her and she may lead us into a downfall. Or you she may lead us into prosperity. Its a gamble." he said. That pretty much summed it up. Quote:

So maybe that means the minister takes chances in her job? Not really knowing what the outcome might be could possibly be something that she enjoys doing, or maybe she does know and likes to keep everyone guessing what her next move would be. She likes to be...mysterious? Wait...no..." she spoke quietly and mumbled most of the words possibly making it sound like a run on sentence. She was too embarrassed to really talk loudly or talk at all for that matter, but she wanted to participate since Ancient Runes was becoming one of her more favorite subjects. Quote:
Originally Posted by DH Vixen Tilting her head in thought, Mina thought hard about what it meant. "That is Perth, the rune of chance, mystery and science." But now how does that apply to the question? Biting her lip slightly in deep thought, she formulated something. Whether it was correct of not she wasn't sure. "If this is what drives the Minister, than would it mean that her success is a gamble and just a game of chance? It's in an upright position, so maybe there is an unexpected gain that drives her and she is going through a change that either will help or hinder her. Its still seems to be a mystery." Quote:

At least he did not get a huge yelling at because he was not listening till that point. ''Sure, professor'' he said ''But i want to make something clear. I dont know a thing about the minister so i am neither against nor supporting her.'' 'Okay enough out topic, let's see the next rune' ''Sorry, professor'' Flirting,teehee! 'Did it really sound like that from there?' Laughing he glanced at Rose who was blushing and winked at her. Ahem back to the class yes the Perth rune. Secrets, mystery, chance and so? He both listened to the Prefect and Rose who really did make sense. But he wanted try his chance again ''Maybe the Perth rune here is affected from others. It means secrecy, mystery, chance but for me these do not make much sense over one's future in a position.Okay it might be something like 'she just does whatever occurs to her without being sure about the consequences' but i feel like there should be more to drive a person to his or her goal. I think the other runes definitely has an affect on this one. Character and goals are related and so according to this rune we'll never know till we see it. If she'll be good or bad in her position is changeable and it depends...maybe on her decisions about her life. '' Quote:

Kay said looking at the Professor. "This to me would mean that the Minister has alot of unanswered questions and only time will tell if she gets them and if she will be able to understand them." Kay stated. Boy this was getting hard. Quote:

I think that it's saying the Minister's "secret" whatever it may be could change her career drastically. Whether it is a good or bad change though, I can't say." Then Becca added, "And with the take a gamble bit, I think it means once her secret is revealed, she'll have to choose whether or not to continue pursuing her career." She hoped that her explanation of the Minister's career would make sense and go with the meaning of Perth... Quote:

She stood up and cleaned herself off. "Alright, That is the Great Tree Spread. HOMEWORK: Think of a question about a particular person, and ask your runes. Do a great tree spread and give me, what runes you pulled, their meanings and your interpretations. Hope to have really good response with the homework. Have a great day and enjoy the rest of the term." She said sweetly, and then skipped off.

Sighing, she grabbed her bag and was about to stand up and leave when she suddenly didn't feel like it anymore. Smiling slightly as she watched the Professor skip off, in a way better mood than when in the classroom, she closed her eyes and just leaned back and laid on the grass. Yup, much better...maybe she can just fall asleep here...since she really needed it at the moment and this was a comfy spot. Nice day, with a nice freezing cool breeze, by this awesome...tree...
yup... |

Becca beamed at the praise from the Professor before jotting down the homework messily. "You too, Professor Lupa!" she replied. Becca was glad that this was an easy to understand assignment, that she could certainly accomplish, and with that, she grabbed all of her belongings and made for the castle to begin her work.

Marie wrote down the homework assignment before gathering her things to go back to her common room. She had a LOT of homework she needed to get done if she was going to make it through this term.

Destiny jotted down the homework. She was never going to catch up on all the homework when professors keep giving it out! She stood upto stretch her legs and say goodbye to Professor Lupa buuut she was gone already. Okay then. She went to say goodbye to Evelyn, buuut she was sleeping...
Okay then, again. She decided to wave to her anyway, even though her eyes were closed, and headed up to the castle.

Chris nodded and made a note of the homework on his notebook and then stood up from his grassy seat. "Good lesson Professor Lupa. Good bye!" and he began to walk up to the castle.
