The classroom is bright and airy, very clean and comfortable. There are no desks in this classroom, rather there are several wooden tables which would fit between four and six students quite comfortably. The tables are arranged rather higgledy piggledy, all out of alignment with each other and yet there is plenty of room to weave through the tables and walk up to the front of the classroom, or down to the back. Each table has runes carved into them, some a little straighter and clearer than others, and all stained with red. They seem to thrum encouragingly when you sit down to work, but do not provide any distraction; on the contrary you feel far more focused and confident about learning when you sit at these tables and surround yourself in the runes carved by the students and by the professor.
The front of the classroom has a large blackboard, charmed to write on itself,and when it isn't taking notes it quite often it has something to say, though you'll need to transcribe it from runic to English to make any sense of it. Truebridge also has a desk at the front of the class, set to one side, and a perfect view of all the tables arranged haphazardly around the room.
At the back of the classroom, set to one side, there is the door out into the corridor. Along the back wall there is a large bookshelf almost overflowing with books, mostly old, all very well taken care of. You're welcome to look at any of these books but if any harm befalls the tomes, there will be a severe price to pay. A long and comfortable couch takes up the rest of the back wall, and this is a good place to curl up and read or work on some of your homework.
The windows along the remaining side, opposite the door and Truebridge's desk have soft white curtains that are almost transparent. When pulled they simply diffuse the light and ensure it is not too bright, allowing the room to stay bright and lit at all times. The window frames are the most interesting, if you go and inspect them, all of the exposed wood has been painstakingly carved with runes, mostly bindrunes and rune charms, set in ligature and carved then stained red. These have all been activated and almost thrum under your fingertips. No cold will pass these windows, no student will fall to their deaths. It is a barrier of safety and of comfort, and a good example of runic magic. The door into the classroom is similarly marked.
Truebridge opened the door to the classroom and waited for the students to arrive. There was no music playing today and there was a second blackboard set up at the front of the room. Aside from that the classroom was much as it had been left at the end of the last lesson, desks still crookedly placed around the room and the runes that had been carved were subtly beginning to work their magic.
The second blackboard had been divided up into quarters, with each house written up as a title.
"Take a seat wherever you like, we'll start class soon."
ooc class has begun, please see my latest post for most recent quiz question.

Goodness, there should be some warning when they are going to have quizzes! Sighing, she leaned back in her seat, glancing around the others- MEEP! Hello to YOU Salander. Her eyebrows raised in surprise as she shrugged her shoulders at him. Don't look at US! Look at the textbook!
And of course, a smile for Patroclus.
Except, that question the professor gave, almost tricked her. First years only? Pfft. "Ash, Professor." she said after raising her hand. Now that was a fifth year question. Mwah!

With a semi-shocked look on her face, Sierra turned toward the Gryffindor who'd beaten her by a split second. She gave the girl a Puffer-worthy glare. Getting beat by a lion didn't sit well with Sierra, and so she turned away with a silent promise to get her next time.

Kurumi's hand once again shot up, and then immediately went back down. Fifth years?! Kurumi began biting her bottom lip in slight agitation. Come on Professor...ask a question to second years!

"For one point, What kind of wood is the world tree made of?"
Its an Ash tree Professor? he guessed raising his hand

A slight grin went over to Kurumi as they seemed to mirror one another in their responses. "I think we're going to have quite the case of twitchy-hand-syndrome after this."

Gryffindors...
She had got it right?
Wow, she liked this feeling! Then she caught a glance at the slytherin girl who had spoke after her. She didn't look happy. Emily tried to give her an apologetic look but she turned away.

That one was easy.
"Thats right. A point for Slytherin." Truebridge nodded at Rose, noted Kurumi and Sabel squirming around and decided to ask the next question for.... sixth years.
"For a point, Sixth years may answer, How long did Odin hang from the world tree?"
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Simon waited as the other years were questioned, waiting for the sixth year question to be spoken. When it finally does, he raised his hand to supply the answer after a quich search. "9 Nights," he answered.

Gryffindors...
Nika turned and saw the slytherin girl give her friend a dirty look. And then she noticed that this was the same girl who had smirked at her in potions. Nika stuck out her tongue before anyone else could notice. If she wanted to be mean Nika would have no problem returning the favor.

Jake was pretty chill as he watched everyone answer, waiting for a 7th year question whilst he tried to THINK about the answers, flipping silently through his text book.
Doooooooooooop.

Jimmy who had found a seat near the back of the room raised his hand right away. Sixth year. That was him.
“Odin hung from the world tree for nine days and nights, sir. Upside down even. ” Pretty sure that’d kill a human.

"Nine days and nights. Right. A point for Ravenclaw." Because while Evan and Simon had been right, that Jimmy kid... was faster.
"For Second years," He paused and eyed Kurumi for a moment half expecting her to jump out of her chair or some other Gryffindor-like reaction. He was never quite sure what to expect with them.
"For one point, Which rune symbolises an Auroch?" They were still on the easy ones after all.

Kurumi's hand shot up. "That would be Ur, sir."

It would be good, Jimmy thought idly, when some more, you know, interesting slash difficult questions started coming up. He looked at the points board and shruuuuugged. Basically, meh.
not that he had any intentions of leaving this time

Sabel nearly flipped off the back of his chair (given he had been leaning back in it a little too much) when Kurumi answered the question. With wide eyes he blinked between her and the Professor. Was that second or seventh years? Darn twitchy-syndrome.

Sabel blinked around and then smacked his hand against his forehead. Seventh years. Darn-nit!

Satine glanced up at the board and the point count...not a bad start and she liked the way this class was going....she hoped for a Ravvie second year to pop out of the shadows and get some more points for them.
