| | |  The Runes Basket
Next to the Runes classroom is a small, curved door, certainly not more than four feet in height. There is no knocker, no latch here; the door is open, always is, though it is impossible to see what lies behind it, until one steps through it, to see for oneself.
Inside, there is a basket - a giant basket. Giant for a basket, not a room, though the basket is large enough to serve as a small classroom. Two rope ladders are stationed at each end of the basket, so that one can climb inside. Inside the basket, there are rocking chairs, small, round tables, and tall lamps that light up most of the place, at night; though there are a few, shadowy, lamp-less corners, that offer complete peace and quietude.
On each table in the basket, there is a rune-set; and in a corner, a dusty, old bookshelf that contains books, a good portion of them dedicated to Runic study. Woven across one, whole wall of the basket, are the words:
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
The door to this place is open at all times. Come inside, practice the use of runes, complete your homework, consult a Runes dictionary, or have a quiet or good time with friends. This is a place to be comfortable in, to make use of if you want to hone your Runes skills or have a peaceful time - alone, or with friends.

Finn was generally just having a random mooch around the castle. He didn't know what he was doing really, prehaps he was looking for another girl, he wasn't too sure. But when he came upon the ancient runes area, he got a little bit of a shock. There was a door, an open door, and he really didn't get why the door was open. Finlay had always been a curious lad, and so stood watching the door. Surely that thing should be locked so no stupid firsties went in there right?
He mused for a second, before going into the room. Oh. There was a big basket. That was odd too. Finn moved around, and climbed up the ladder. He grinned as he looked around the basket. It was like a den kinda thing, pretty cool. The fifth year took a seat at one of the tables, and grinned. Well one could hide here for quite a while.

Davina was the rise-with-the-dawn kind, and getting up early was, for her, nothing new. What was new, however, was Hogwarts. She had spent a year here before; but even then, she had never thought that she would return, at some point in the future.
Bending down a little, to step through the small door to the Runes Basket, she smiled lightly at the thought of the rope-ladder. Suppose a student came in, while she was climbing up? Ah well. Boots on, she made the ascent, before jumping down on the other side, right inside the basket, with a soft and easy thud. Only to realize that she was not alone.
"Hello, there."

Mmmm. He was feeling a little tired. Why he had gotten up thi year, really was beyond him, but he had wanted to explore so maybe that was it. Although he probably could've got Neptune to tour him around, although she probably would've taken him to all her favourite bits, which really wouldn't have worked.
He felt himself dozing off a little, and probably would've gone to sleep, but then he heard a thud, and his head shot up. He glanced around, looking at the person that had come up.
Mmm. She looked too old to go to Hogwarts. So he assumed she was a teacher. "Er...hey." This was a little awkward no?

Di mentally placed his age as fifteen or sixteen. She was not certain if he was one of her students, but he was more than welcome to be here all the same, of course.
"Hello." The corners of her mouth lifted up slightly, in a small, polite smile. "Early to be up, isn't it, Mr. -?"

Finn rubbed his eyes. Ahh. There went the sleep time, maybe he should head back to the tower. "Carmicheal." He added with a smile. At least she would know his name. "I wanted to explore a little." He conintued with a grin. So now he'd know where the come and hang right? "Although....maybe I should've slept some more."

Di made a mental note of the surname. "Oh, I wouldn't say that, Mr. Carmicheal," she said, taking a seat opposite the boy, and giving her head a little shake. "Exploration is something I have never regretted, or had second thoughts about."
Or perhaps she had.
She gave a little flick of her wand, to make a small, silver-edged tray appear on the round table. "Biscuit, Mr. Carmicheal?"

"Oh...." That hadn't came out as he had planned. "I like exploring it's cool." And a very manly thing to do. And Finn was very Manly. He smiled at the teacher. "It's just I'll probably be tired in lessons later." So he hoped he had this teacher, because she would understand right. Or maybe he'd just go crash during dinner to something.
Oooh. Those biscuits looked very nice. "Thank you Professor." That was when he realised he didnt actually know her name. Opps. He leaned over, and took a biscuit, taking a little bite.

That was... not a word Davina used often. Or preferred. But the young could be excused for acting their ages. "It certainly tends to get one into trouble," she said, with a small smile. Tired? "Perhaps you should get back to your common room, then, Mr. Carmicheal."
"You're welcome -" She paused. Had the kid given her, his first name? Di was quite sure he had not.

"And I do like trouble." Finn glanced at her with a grin. Maybe that wasn't the best thing to tell a teacher, but maybe he'd decide to be an angel in a her class. Finlay Carmicheal a angel? Fat chance. "I don't think that would be so good, I probably wouldn't be able to get back to sleep." Not with Jimmy probably getting up, and causing a racket. He'd just fall asleep in some random lesson later, some lesson he didn't really know.
He smiled at the teacher, and he took a bite of the biscut, that was nice. "Have you taught here before?"

He smiled at the teacher, and he took a bite of the biscut, that was nice. "Have you taught here before?" Davina frowned. "There are always two kinds of trouble, Mr. Carmicheal," she said, gently. "The good, and the bad." Her voice made it clear that she disapproved of the latter, though she did not go into details, and let the subject drop, at once.
Yes, the young man had a point there. Di could have suggested a potion to help him stay awake till the last lesson of the day, but she had a strong belief that such potions interfere with what is natural, and should not become an option, unless they are a medical requirement.
"No, not here." She registered that the boy was either new, or had not been here, the year before. Of course, it was not her place to inquire. "I've taught before, though."

Fae walked into the class unsurely, listening to the two others speak... interrupting wouldn't be too good at this point so she simply sat down quietly and waited for the class to start, at least she wasn't late... that would just be embarrassing for the first class!

She took her seat a few rows over. Davina looked up. Mmhhm. It looked like the place was filling up. "Hello, there," she said kindly, before turning to the only boy, there. The one she had been in conversation with.
"I do believe I should get back to my office, Mr. Carmicheal," she said. "Pay me a visit, if you wish." She smiled, a small but rather pleasant smile. "Have a good day." Straightening, she placed a foot on the nearest rope-ladder, heaved herself up and climbed out of the basket, disappearing outside via the small door. OOC: This isn't a class, guys. Have fun, here.

| Ancient Runes HW ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls
Evan, with all the books he could find about Ancient Runes, made his way to he Office of the professor. He had been absent in the class, and wanted some help for the homework. It wasn't something he couldn't do alone, but he would still need some help.
He was searching for the office when he saw a door open. The professor wouldn't leave the door of the office open, would she? Still, his legs pulled him inside and to his surprise, he saw a great basket. Climbing the stairs--which was a little bit hard since he had his books in his hands and not in a bag--he finally reached inside, and felt even greater surprise. This professor was geniunely creative. This basket was the best idea of providing a private space for studying ever! Grinning, he immediately got in and found himself a rocking chair. This was pretty!
Looking all over the place once again, he felt really let down that he'd missed the class. If this was the studying area, imagine how fun the class had been! Sighing, he pulled out a clean piece of parchment which he'd put in one of his books, and started writing the homework with the help of his books.
