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.

Kurumi blushed realizing that she had read the answer from the older book she had picked up from he back of the room. But, a right answer was a right answer. You say potAto, I say potatO type of thing.
Kurumi glanced around the room at the third years. Someone better answer before she exploded.

Jake had to actually push his fist into his mouth to stop himself from answering that question. GAHHHH. It wasn't that he was twitching for another question... like some. But... he just... wanted to answer. D:

Nika bobbed up and down. Aww, it was a third year question. Hopefully he would ask another first year one. She squirmed in her seat, why isn't anyone answering?!?!

"First question will be worth one house point, and only first years can answer this one." Truebridge glanced around at the youngest members of the class.
"For one point, What is the name of the world tree?"
Hmm. He was a little peckish. Maybe a snack break after a few questions would be a good idea.
ooc: you still need to RP raising your hand and saying the answer, but it will be quick fire so you won't have time to make long posts. *eyes certain people* However there will be time in between questions etc for you to RP as you like (as long as it follows the site rules and classroom rules) in here too, and you can still post reacting to the question even if your character isn't allowed to answer it.
"Yggdrasil" he mumbled to himself, looking to his fellow gryffindor giving the same

"Fifth years." Because they looked like they were about to explode out of their seats.
"For one point, What kind of wood is the world tree made of?"
"for fifth year only"

"For a point, Sixth years may answer, How long did Odin hang from the world tree?"
"for sixth year"

"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.
"for second year"

"Seventh Years next, for one point, Which god is associated with the rune that symbolises groundedness?"
"for seventh year"

He winked at Sabel. Relax, Gryffindor.
Next question for...
"Third years, for one point," He looked around "Who taught mankind the runes?"
Simon turned to the Professor, he wasn't sure now if his first answer was right and had heard Heimdall mention somewhere else. Simon put up his hand and looked at the Professor. "Professor was it Heimdall."
Selena's hand shot in the air and replied to the question. Last she checked, she was a third year after all. "Was it Heimdall who taught it?" she said, a bit unsure. She was kinda sure... not definitely but still, somewhat...

JP's face got red.
"AH! I knew that! I answered the wrong question!"
JP was so embarrassed. His strongest subject and he had gotten a question wrong.
"Fantastic."
Simon looked at the Professor. "I think that it was Odin." Simon had no idea if he was right or not it was a total guess.
"No."

"Uruz Professor?"
"Uruz is a rune, not a person or a god. The question was 'Who taught mankind the runes?'

"Right its Heimdall. Now, because you already answered, Simon, and you were wrong, I am also going to give a point to Selena and Slytherin. So thats a point each for that question for Hufflepuff and Slytherin."
"For fourth years only, the next question for a point, How many worlds exist around Yggdrasil?"

Legs swinging idly, Arya raised her hand when the fourth years were asked a question. "There are nine worlds." Maybe.

"There are 9 worlds that exist around Yggdrasil, sir." Matt responded after raising his hand, he knew that every point for Slytherin counted and if he was going to help; now would be the time actually.

"Thats right, a point for Hufflepuff. Next question is for Slytherins and Hufflepuffs only and is worth two points." He paused and watched the board update itself.

So, the Professor was giving questions to only certain student years? A rather interesting quiz in her opinion. Teehee. Though she didn't mind it. As long as she didn't have to have some parchment with a million questions in front of her, she was good!
..."Heidrun is a goat...that eats from the world tree and produces mead for the einherjar." she said after raising her hand. Right? Eh.

Marie's hand shot up in the air and was about to answer when she heard Evelyn tell it. Eh, she might as well answer too. Maybe they would both get a point. "Sir, Heidrun would be a goat that bites the buds off the branches of the world tree while standing on its hind legs." Yeah, that sounded like it was worth them getting two points. Maybe.

"Exactly right. Two points for Slytherin. Next question goes to.... Gryffindor and Ravenclaw."
Truebridge paused and then asked the question. "For two points, Who calls Asgard home?"

“Well that’s the Æsir. Not all the gods live in Asgard. Bit of a trick question really.” Jim answered with his hand up, not even bothering to open his text book. Ravenclaw was behind, he noticed. It was a good thing he didn't much care about things like that.

"Absolutely right." Truebridge answered and the board marked another two points for Ravenclaw.

"Partly right, but not all the Norse Gods live there. That is like saying all Hogwarts students sleep in the towers. James is right. It is a bit of a trick question. There... may be a few of those, so look lively."
Next question?
"For 5th through 7th years, and worth two points, Who was killed by an arrow made of mistletoe?"

Taking a quick glance to Marie, the Slytherin smiled before listening in for the next question. Which...was...here! "Balder, the god of Peace." she said, raising her hand once more. Peace?

Well there was no point in Marie answering this question... Not when she had to answer against Jimmy. It seemed even Evelyn wasn't fast enough here. Looking over at Jimmy she smiled. If anyone had to beat them she would rather it be him.
