As you enter the classroom, the first thing that you will notice is that this is no ordinary classroom. There are no desks, nor are there chairs but soft springy grass and a very large tree in the centre of the room.
In the back corner of the room is a small water fountain. The gentle sounds of trickling water has a very calming feel, but please make sure you go to the loo before coming to class. Also you will notice dotted around the room largestonestructures with strange looking inscriptions carved into them.
The room is light and airy thanks to the drapes being opened allowing sunlight to filter through the windows and a gentle breeze is flowing through one of the opened windows.
Professor Jenkins is seated on the grass with his back against the trunk of the tree, casually flipping through a magazine. He lazily flicks his wand at the door and it springs open allowing the students to file in.
“Come in and find yourselves a spot on the grass and park your bums.” he said with a small chuckle. Oliver pointed to a pile of stickers a couple of feet from his right. “Could you also please take a sticker and write your name and house on it and stick it onto your robes.” That would make life easier for him.
ooc: Class won’t be starting for approximately twelve hours. Please just post your charrie arriving and following the Professor's instructions. Also please keep chatting to a minimum or points will be lost
CLASS HAS STARTED!! Please do not announce your late arrival. Pretend your character has been here the whole time.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Oakey looked through his text book and quickly found one, raising his hand up high to get the Professor's attention. Professor there is Sowilo.It's kind of shaped like an "S" Oakey didn't know much about the rune except for that, it was the first time he looked at it anyways.

Harvey listened to the professor after he had taken points from the girl for being late.. and he noted down some of what the professor was saying on his parchement. Then the professor asked them a question.. Harvey smiled there was such rune that he remembered from last year that no-one had mentioned and for some reason that rune name had stuck with him.. he put up his hand "There is the rune called Ansuz." he answered the question

"Okay, we have established that there are twenty four runes to the Elder Futhark, I would like you to tell me what they are. Just name me one rune person please."
FIFTEEN POINTS?!
Kennedy had to resist the urge of letting his jaw drop, again. Those were just TOO many points for being late...and not being dressed properly. Okay, the young snake had it coming if she thought she was going to get by unnoticed. Why didn't the professor just take less points and give her detention instead?...Yeah.
He looked down at his notes and then his head snapped up.
O_______________________O
He...he wanted Kennedy to to finish reprimanding her? Wait, he was talking to him right? Duh. He was the male Slytherin prefect. Where was Selena when he needed her? Kennedy nodded...mostly to himself and removed his bag that was resting beside him so the girl could sit there...where he was going to...finish reprimanding her?
------
The fifth year turned his attention back to the matter at hand. His eyebrow twitched as he tried to concentrate on the question rather than on the point loss. He raised his hand and said, "There's Laguz." SIGH.

Vashti thought for a few moments, trying to think of one that hadn't already been mentioned. She had never been good at memorizing all of the runes and their names, especially since some sounded really similar. Finally, though, she raised her hand. "I believe one is Hagalaz."

Gotland, she had been to Visby and found it quite... weird and a bit... nice. Not knowing anything about this subject she had known one bit Raido meaning journey or ride. Raising her hand she spoke and said "One rune I think is raido meaning journey or ride."
Gustav tried to remember as he jotted down notes on his parchment. He raised his hand," I think one is 'ehwaz' meaning horse?" he answered. He could easily mixed up another rune word which sounded similar to it such like 'tiwaz' or 'teiwaz'...but wasn't there was a god of single combat in proto-germanic language name 'tiwaz' back in the day...
Gustav wasn't sure.

Alex raised his hand. "Well, um, the one that looks like a backwards 7, that's laguz, and I believe it means water," he said with a nod. He had no idea how laguz was related at all to water, but that was what the book had said when he looked it over earlier. So he was going with that.

justin thought on the question as the others began to answer. Just as he was raising his hand with the one answer he could think of Kurumi said it. e slowly put his hand back down and started writing the answers that he heard in his notes.

From reading his textbook, Vickers looked up and shifted in his seat to see who the Professor was docking points from. Wow, they are pretty strict on attendance and uniform here arent they? He winced when he shifted his gaze at the Slytherin Prefect and heard what he had to do. The Prefect didnt look pleased at all. He could imagine that if he held that position he wouldnt be a happy camper right now either.
He turned his attention back to front just when the next question was raised. "Professor there is the Algiz, it looks very similar to the letter Y. "

Selina rose her hand straight up into the air when Professor Jenkins asked his next question. She had been hearing the names of these runes for three years now. If she could not simply name one then there was a bigger problem at hand then Selina realized. When she finally spoke she said, "Sir, one of the runes is called the fehu." Now Selina knew what it was called, but she did not know what it meant. That was not something she had exactly picked up on in her last three years at the school.

Ariana was So embarrassed she knew she was late but didnt think she was THAT late. She had to make up those points & quick. Ariana was really bad at this class though.

Ariana hung her head in shame & sat next to Kennedy. He was upset, more than upset maybe furious with her. She really didn't mean to be so late, she was just having an off day & really needed to get to this class. She took out her stuff 7 began to take note & catch up as quickly as she could. this day Could NOT get any worse.
--------------
Ariana was reluctant to answer but she needed points bad at this point she raised her hand Slowly. " i know of sōwilō which means Sun." And that was about all the Runes Ariana could remember at this point.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Jory raised his hand. "There's the 'Ingus' rune which is shaped like a diamond, Professor,'' he said. He remembered it from a book he had read on Runes last year.

Kennedy managed to mask his...whatever he was feeling. He didn't want to scare the girl, but then he didn't want to seem like he wasn't doing his job. SIGH. He could reprimand...in a polite way. Yeah, he could do that.
"I don't want to interrupt the lesson, so we'll discuss this after class," he told her in a whisper. He didn't want to cause more interruptions and risk losing Slytherin more points. Plus, he'd keep an eye on her.
The good thing was that the young snake was trying to catch up and was even participating. He gave her an encouraging nod and a slight smile.
India raised her hand and looked at the pretty Professor. She had a wonderful rune to bring up. It was her favorite rune actually in all its simplicity.
"Professor, there is the rune Isa" she made sure to pronounce the 'ee' sound as carefully making sure it sounded more like she was saying ee-saw and not Isa. "It means Ice" she smiled and that was the color of her eyes. Mhm.

Ira listened as the professor told them and explained all about the Elder Futhark. She nodded and absentminded, started to doodle on her parchment.
Then when asked the next question, she raised her hand up and answered, "One of the runes is Ansuz.." They didn't have to describe how it looked, right?

Ariana looked up when she heard Kennedy speak to her. she could of cried she was so upset with herself but instead she just looked up at him & nodded. she was not looking forward to getting his wrath after class.
Tayla raised her hand. "One of them is the Wunjo. It looks a little like a 'P' but sharp," Tayla hoped she made sense, but she knew the professor would know what she meant. "It generally means joy or pleasure."

Hmmm..one letter from the Elder Futhark? She could remember them using those last term and they even had the chance to combine the said letters. After thinking hardly of another letter that hadn't been mentioned, Beezus raised her hand, "Professor, there's also the purisaz which uses the letter thorn," It was thorn right? That letter that seemed to look like a p.
Fifteen points from Slytherin? Who was that girl? Hades secretly and curtly glared at her before he turned his attention back to the lesson. Kennedy was going to deal with her. That was his duty after all. Hades continued to scribble down the notes until Jenkins asked them to name a rune from the Elder Futhark. "There's the... Uhh... Hajalaz... Hegales... Galez..." the boy mumbled when he got confused over the pronounciation. His hand was still raised in the air.
Messer thought for a few minutes thinking about the other runes that's not been mentioned by other students. He raised his hand "Umm..There's also Othala, Sir." Othala was one of the Elder Futhark, right? He hoped that no one haven't mentioned that.

Looking, no GAWKING, at the Slytherin kid who showed up late, Auggie watched as Professor Jenkins took 15 points from slytherin house.
Awwwww SNAP!
He turned back to the front of the room to answer the querstion about individual runes. "Professor there's a rune called Sowilo." The Gryffindor nodded.

When the door opened, and a late student arrived, Sierra glanced to the side, a displeased look on her face. Really? Did the girl need a pocket watch or something? Or a mirror maybe to check her uniform? Either way, she could have rolled her eyes at the fifteen points Jenkins took. She didn't, but she could have. Fifteen points was a little much for one student misbehaving, in Sierra's opinion. She hated how the whole house had to suffer when somebody stepped out of line. They should have some rule in place where the punishment only affected the offender. Yup. That sounded like a plan to her. Raising her hand, she said, "There's Ansuz." Well, he had just asked for the name.
