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.
The little redhead opened her parchment and begin to write down every question. She had studied so hard for this class- she read every chapter in the book. When he asked one qustion Selina put her hand up, but the older students dominated the conversation. She sadly whispered under her breath, "The Thurisaz rune."
Which rune...only her favorite of course! "That would be thurisaz." she said, raising her hand once more. Of course. Wait...
Right? Hmmm.

...at least Hufflepuff wasn't winning this time, though. Who was winning, anyway?! For all she knew, it very well could be the Puffers. "Thurisaz?" she guessed.

"Thurisaz," she said confidently. She was so pleased she was here on time and taking notes this lesson.

Anyway, as she heard that the last question was just for the girls, she decided to raise her hand, even though she wasn't quick enough. "Is it... Thurisaz?"

"Thurisaz is right. Two points for Slytherin for being first. The next question is for the boys only and is also worth two points." He ate another mini chocolate frog, letting the tension grow a bit but not noticing it himself.
"Who is the the Guardian of Bifrost bridge?"
ooc: I have work today so won't be posting again for at least six hours.

"Heimdall Professor?" Salander responded raising his hand

*Raising a hand Matty said.*
"Heimdall the god who possesses the horn Gjallarhorn, sir."
*But someone else had already said it. Grr come on Hufflepuffs!*
Chloe had been listening to the questions an made some mental notes of the answers but so far there had only been one question for 6th yeaars that she just did not know the answer to. And now the queston was just for the boys Sigh. She hoped that soon she may get another chance to possibly earn points soon.
Viola looked on as the boys gave their answers. She hasn't had a chance to answer yet. She sighed and started tapping her quill on the desk, waiting for the next question. If it's for the girls as well.
Simon decided that he would make something up since he was so late. "Mr Bean?" Simon said, he had no idea who it was, he also couldn't believe he had heard a girl speak, wasn't this a question for boys? well maybe she hadn't heard the Professor say that.
"Heimdall Professor?" Salander responded raising his hand
"Correct. Two points for slytherin." Truebridge glanced around but didn't comment on missed answers or odd questions. "The next question is worth two points and anyone can answer. What is Megingjardar?"

Hmm, glancing to the board, Evelyn smiled before raising her hand once more. "Megingjardar is a belt worn by Thor. It supposedly makes him stronger." she said before lowering her hand.

That one was closer but Evelyn gave her answer a split second before the boys did. "Two points for Slytherin. Next question is for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.. For two points, while he is associated with several, which rune is Odin most associated with?" Truebridge looked around expectantly.

"Ansuz, I believe." Kurumi said raising her hand and finally taking her nose out of the book she had borrowed. Had she missed a lot?

"Ansuz, I believe." Kurumi said raising her hand and finally taking her nose out of the book she had borrowed. Had she missed a lot?
"Ansuz is right. You can borrow that book for a while if you like, Kurumi, as it seems to interest you. Two points for Gryffindor. Next Question will be for Ravenclaw and Slytherin. worth another two points. How did Tyr lose his hand?" Truebridge nodded at the little Gryffindor and then looked around trying to guess who would be first.
