It was cold. Really, really cold and the freezing drift outside made whistling noise through the double doors. You should have learned to come prepared, though! Hopefully you read the noticeboard carefully.
Professor Botros was waiting at the double doors that opened up to the grounds outside the castle. He had set up a small seating area with few desks, the boys should learn to allow the girls to take a seat while they pulled themselves together and stood by the wall. There were several boxes scattered around but other than that, there was nothing else. Botros paced the small space, his cane in his right hand and the other one tucked behind his back.
ooc: - lesson has STARTED.
- Again, this isn't the first Ancient Runes lesson this term, ic. So your student should have the basics figured out already. If you need any help, you can always poke me in a PM. :3
- Make sure you read my post above, and the rules and guidelines for this lesson before you post!
- Let's have some fun together!
Yes this charm was heaven and standing did seem better in this cold weather. Keep himself moving and all that stuff about circulation. To bad not all of them on this corner could do the charm. That would be awesome. And why was Lex over here it was basically a boys corner.
Whatever maybe she just wanted to get away from the cold. Smart.
Huh (Ethan) The Slytherin was talking to him, A fire pit. Now that was an idea. Nigel grinned. "That would be awesome. Botros probably would go along with it, if it was runes related"
On a unrelated note. Maybe this was just because it was his last year or something. But it seems like every time he enters a classroom he sees Lotus.

There seemed to be an awful lot of guys here. Where were the girls? For once she hadn't been running late so being able to chit chat before class wasn't something that she usually was able to partake in.
AJ laughed at Ethan's salute and greeting. This one was always at attention. "Freezing, but what else is new?" This seemed to be the trend at Hogwarts. Adi got a smile. She knew he was loving this weather. Looks like he had another jacket which was good considering that AJ still had one of his. Oh and look, there was Benny! She gave him a nod accompanied with a smile.
Was the lesson going to start before any of her limbs froze off?
Angel wondered what was going on and why it was so cold. "Hi Professor." Angel beamed at him, aww he looked like her grandfather old and needed a cane to walk, she was actually missing her granddad now and she was going to send him a letter after this lesson. "Are you alright today sir?" Angel asked, maybe he taught this subject because he had been around when they were introduced.

Warm clothes? Check.
Wand and runes set? Check.
Icicles hanging off her nose due to the insane cold? Not yet.
An outdoors class?! Come on, Botros! Even with warm clothes, Sophie was NOT looking forward to this. "Hello, Professor," she said, through chattering teeth. Lovely day out, eh? ...not really. She took a nearby seat and just sat there waiting for icicles to form off her ears or something.
A few students had taken seats, but there were still more available...so WHY? Keeping a look to herself, Beverly walked over and plopped herself down on an empty desk but not before inspecting it. Weird people were weird. Get them while you can, y'know.
Finders keepers, losers weepers.
Hugging her bag to her chest and shivering slightly, she glanced up, shooting professor Botros a shy little wave. She still liked him, in case anyone was wondering. "Hello, Professor Botros," she greeted with absolute politeness. He seemed like one of those people who valued manners.

It was Ancient Runes time. It sounded like it was going to be deadly boring yet also Gareth was attracted by the thought of learning some super cool rune spell that he could use for....some purposes. He never saw people around him use rune spells so frequently so it could be always nice to hit them with something they wouldn't expect. Properly clothed for the cold, he walked forward and past the professor, an old man he was, without saying anything.

Then he saw that girl and the moment he saw her, a big and smug smirk appeared on his face. Gary directly made his ways towards the girl ignoring everyone else in the class. He couldn't care less why some were standing by the wall. Still smirking at the girl, he went on and got seated right next to the girl after dropping his bag on the floor next to the desk.

Another outdoor lesson?!?! Is the cold driving all the professors insane!? OR DO THEY JUST LIKE TO TORTURE EVERYONE!? This is utter madness. Zander buried his head further into his scarf as he made his way towards the double doors. So much shivering. So much snow. So much cold. So much AHH. Why so many outdoor lessons HAVEN'T THEY SUFFERED ENOUGH!? And this is ancient runes for Merlin's sake the suffering is only about to get worse. Can't they at least have warmth??? Weren't they all wizards here? Is it possible to, oh you know, warm the place up a bit!? PLEASE??
"He-he-hello, Professor. Real chilly out here," Okay yes it was a given. But the cold had temporarily petrified his thoughts sooo whatever. It happens. Now, where was he? Ah yes a seat! Ugh. There weren't that many left and the seating area was really small. So first, an outdoor lesson? And now, no room to sit? Ugh. Professor Botros you are doing this all wrong.
Either way Zander had no idea where to go. But he did manage to spot Simon standing against the wall with all the other... boys? Why were all the boys standing? And the Gryffindor Prefect too, why was SHE standing? Was this a new rule or something?? Either way, Zander chose not to question it. He was far too cold. So instead of asking he just joined the rest of the boys against the wall. Hopefully there'd be an explanation soon.

A few minutes passed and more people arrived. Ethan beamed as he saw familiar faces within the area. Hi people! Hi! “Hey Adi. How’s it going?” They have yet to listen to rock songs and such, and he promised the Hufflepuff that he will teach him how to skateboard. The Slytherin wondered if his friend’s up to snowboard with him before winter break. Soon, they were joined by an older student. Oh he’s seen this dude before! Ethan gave him a nod and a wave as he (Nigel) eyed him cast the hot air charm on himself. “Better if we have a fire pit in here, yeah?" he said as he leaned closer to him and murmured his words. “Heeeey, dangler AJ. ‘Sup?” Ethan gave her a grin and a salute. Ethan moved to his right and made a space for part-Frenchie Grayson. “Hallo, Cloud Master.” The Slytherin grinned at his fellow Slytherin and shared with him the hot air that was coming out of his wand. "There you are, Simon."Boy, was he glad to see Simon tonight? This class is going to be ten times more fun if his brothas are here. And speaking of brother...where is Cutty?

Simon grinned when he saw Ethan with a large gathering of other guys. Merlin. Ethan knew a lot of people here. "Yep, I'm here. Wasn't going to miss this class- I promise. I'm glad we learnt the hot air charm though. It's freezing in this room," he said. Simon glanced about the room, looking for Cutty to see if he was here, but he couldn't find his other friend. He frowned and continued to glance about the room.
It was at that point he saw his new friend, Zander. He smiled and waved over to the boy and before he could call out he noticed that Zander was coming over towards them. "Hey Zander! How's it going?" he asked his new friend and awesome partner. It was good to see him again.

Ethan searched the area for Cutty, but he too, didn’t see him. Instead, he saw Cris.“Greetings, my friend.” Yeah, former Durmstranian and all that. See? This is worrying. Even Cris looked cold and they are used to this kind of weather. And did he mention that it’s always cold back there? Yeah. Ethan turned his attention back to the older Ravenclaw (Nigel) when he too murmured back his response. “Hopefully, mate. It’s a good thing we got this.” He said as he waved his wand still emitting warm air. “I’m Ethan by the way.” Hey, hi cool dude.
The Slytherin then turned toAJ. “Uh-huh.” Ethan nodded and waved his wand at her and shared his warm air. While he was wafting AJ with warm air, he turned his attention to Simon. “Mhm. Especially if we’re going to learn how to produce warmth with our runes.” He said as he tapped his jacket’s pocket. Yep. Didn’t forget his runes set, all right? Another boy (Zander) joined them and sidled towards Simon. Without asking, he fanned the boy with the warm air coming out of his wand. Merlin, he looked like he’s going to collapse any moment.

As Zander started making his way towards the rest of the boys he noticed that Simon had started waving and it instantly put a smile on his face. "Besides the fact that my face is going numb in this cold, nothing too much," he chuckled. "How 'bout you?" he asked with another smile. It felt pretty nice to actually have friends to stand by. This was progress!
WOOOOOOSSHHH. Suddenly there was a burst of warm air. Ooooh, where in Merlin's greying underpants did that come from!? And could it, not stop? Zander looked around for the source and Oh. It was the boy standing next to Simon, (Ethan). Yes. Zander already liked this kid. "Woah, thanks that feels really good," his bodied instantly relaxed and his goosebumps even started to die down a little. Not to mention the fact that class hadn't even started, yet Zander was already starting to smile like crazy. This is weird. And it's an outdoor lesson in the cold. And it's runes. No one actually smiles in runes. What's going on with him!? Maybe the cold air was getting to his head too...
Then he turned and noticed Cris and Bay standing along the wall too! It was like a party. Maybe standing wasn't such a bad decision after all. He waved to the two older boys, "Hi guys," he said with YET ANOTHER SMILE. Yeah. Something was seriously wrong. You aren't supposed to smile in runes. You're supposed to cry. Because ew, it's runes.

Beverly caught sight of a bag landing on the desk next to her. Finally, someone not stupid enough to stand around like an--
-______-
No. Nope. This was, in fact, Stupid Head. Pretty face? Beverly scoffed. Call a girl pretty after licking her precious new quill. Yeah, that was going to earn him points. NOT.
"Do jerks get bruises?" she shot back coolly with a raise of her eyebrows. No need to call attention to her. Not more than there already was.
Ancient Runes Lesson ! Lucy was excited..but it was colder than she though..
Good Morning Professor I'm Lucy Petersfield.. It' s my first here at Hogwarts..
Then she looked around for a free seat..
Emmylou walked into her Ancient Runes class, she remembered the professor, he was nice older man that was very sweet and gave her tea. Emmylou may not understand Runes in general but she would try her very hardest to get a decent grade and try to understand it. She really wanted to understand it but it just seemed too hard to understand but if she needed help she had friends that would help her but she would also go to her professor after. Emmylou looked around the classroom a few times before finding a seat that was close to the front of the classroom but not the front row but the second row. "Hello professor." Emmylou smiled and wave. She wondered if he remembered her.

Against her better judgment, Layla was here. Decked out in her skiing outfit again, but here. Hopefully, why they were having class here would be explained soon.
Anyway, she took a seat, ignoring the boys by the wall with a "Hello, professor." And still ignoring the boys by the wall. Though, honestly, she did think it was kind of weird. Were the ladies being set up or something.......? Professor Botros did seem like the type to have enjoyed the occasional prank when he was younger.

I didn’t get the chance to do it earlier because…” he trailed off as he pointed at the open double doors. “Early winter and stuff.” He’s in a great mood, all right? And why wouldn’t he be? This man’s got a crup, and that he could actually borrow his pet and take him for a walk, so he definitely should be on his good side, yeah?
Ethan sidled towards the wall and leaned his back on it as they waited for the rest to arrive. He didn’t want to sit down, though. Standing was so much better because he’ll be able to have movement to keep him warm. The Slytherin casually got his wand out and casted the hot air charm he learned from Professor Bentley, on himself. “Aaah. Much better.” He can share the warmth if Botros wants?
Whoooaaahahaha. Such an enthusiastic ball this one, wasn't he? Botros smiled widely at the Slytherin kid. So considerate of him to remind the old professor of his name, too! Ab should make this a rule for every lesson.
"Sure, he'd love that!" He answered about the Crup, and watched the boy do a nifty charm to warm himself up. Aww poor thing, they were getting heat in a few alright.

"Too much Isa, sir?" He said by way of greeting and grinned at the old man and then, noting there weren't enough places to sit, he found a spot against the wall where he could comfortably lean.
"Indeed." Ab gave the seventh year a broad smile, suspecting that Odessa had already guessed which rune they were going to study today.

"Hello, Professor Botros. Hope the cold is not bothering you as much as me"
Winter was terrible. Nigel leaned against the wall next the the younger slytherin and copied his smart idea.
Hot air was beautiful right now.
The prefect had the right to be bothered. "My knees would agree with you, Mr. Barrington." They were bothered alright.

Walking over she saw that it was all dudes there and they were all leaning against the wall. Hmm... was that a guy thing? She eyed the desks and decided that surely it was meant for the girls. "Hello professor. I'm AJ Valentine." She was pretty sure that she hadn't seen the man around before. AJ caught Adi's eyes. "Hey Adi." Oh look there was Ethan too. "Hey Ethan!"
"Hello AJ, nice to see you here again." He greeted the young girl, so kind of her to remind him of her name too.

Night. Night and Ancient Runes just when she thought the evening was hers. What a life.
Lex followed the others to the double doors feeling the cold through the coat she'd worn over her robes. It really should be illegal to have class in this weather--at night nonetheless!!!
"Good evening Professor. Interesting hour for a Runes class if I do say so myself." Said with a smile of course because hello, this was Botros....with grey hair and no matter how many times she'd seen him since the start of the term it just never got old. Heh, old.
Noting most of the class by the wall and the few chairs Lex just sidled over to the wall, casually leaning against it and waiting. When you saw everyone at the wall, you didn't question it, you simply leaned. Duh.
Aaaah, she suspected something, too, hadn't she? Botros gave her the same broad grin he shared with Odessa. "Isn't it?"

Ancient Runes time. As he approached the Professor, he gave the guy a friendly grin and nod. He liked Botros. The man had let him walk Feo around and Simon certainly loved doing that. "Good evening, Professor Botros! How are you?" he said as he made his way over to Ethan. He grinned when he saw Ethan using the Charm that they had learnt during the Herbology workshop. Hmmm... He should keep that in mind if his fingers or toes started to get cold.
Class would begin any minute.
"Evening, son. I'm great, thank you, hope you're well too." The polite Slytherin boy got a gentle shoulder pat as he passed the professor.

There weren't many seats available, and the boys were against the wall, but she figured that she would rather stand by her boyfriend. So there she was, right beside Bay. "Hey, there." Beam.
"I am, thank you." He gave the little girl a small smile as she walked over to sit down as well. The majority seemed to prefer standing by the wall. Interesting.

"Good evening, Ms. Petersfield." He gave the first year kid a gentle pat on the head when she passed him.
Now that the majority of class were here, Botros decided it was time to start this lesson. It was quite late already. Clearing his throat and giving the stony floor quite few clicks with his cane to get the attention of everyone, Ab started in a loud and clear voice.
"Today, we're going to focus on one rune. We're talking about the Elder Futhark alphabet as usual." He stood, his back to the double-doors, and leaned both his hands on his cane. "Which rune do you think we're going to explore thoroughly tonight? Take our surroundings in consideration before you answer. Only mention the name of the rune." He eyed some smartypants, he didn't want them to do the explaining for him.
ooc: - class is officially started, anyone who arrives after this post will be considered late and is subject to point deduction.
- Your charrie doesn't have to give a correct answer, participating in a lesson includes wrong (not illogical) answers.
- we'll resume in 14 hrs max.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
So the girls were allowed to sit down while the boys had to stand? Well...that was stupid. And unfair. Kevin rolled his eyes at Adi when the hufflepuff said he could sit down if he was a girl and for a second, he had actually thought of leaving the wall and sit down. Cross his legs, mocking the way most girls sat and put a hand on his knees. But he didn't do this because one he would just look stupid as a MAN and second, he didn't want the class laughing or yelling at him like they had done in Potions.
So he stayed near the wall when the Professor began to talk. He looked around at his surroundings and .....nothing came up ...well, of course he knew the names of a few runes but their meanings and powers were something that went in one ear and out of the other immediately. "Raidho?" probably not but whatever.
Ascanius was all for chivalry, yeah? So having to stand to the side to let all of the ladies sit down while he and the rest of the guys in this class were exiled to the corner didn't bother him. What did was the fact that it was so cold he couldn't quite concentrate on a word that Botros was saying. Nothing new of course, Ascanius was not one for caring about what male Professors had to say; what was new, though, was the fact that he wasn't listening because he couldn't. Too cold.
He said some stuff about some stuff and then some more stuff 'bout runes. That much he was certain of.
Could they, y'know, not have class tonight? That'd be awesome.

Extra points for this man, because he’s allowed him to walk his crup soon! For a moment there, Ethan’s brain wandered to the creature that was left in his office. The poor thing must be so bored right now, yeah? Anyway, the Slytherin did a series of nods and nudges to his friends when he heard Professor Botros tap his can against the floor.
Lesson is now on!
And first question’s up. No need to look at their situation, all right? Their layers of clothing says it all. It has something to do with the cold. But as the third year deduced, they wouldn’t be producing more cold because that would be just illogical, yes? Ethan gave the older Ravenclaw a glance before he put his hand up. Older dude might be right. “Professor? Are we going to learn about the ‘Kenaz’?” Oh wait, was it 'Kenat'? The rune of fire if Ethan remembers it correctly. He’d seen Mordred’s list of Elder Futhark plastered on his dorm’s wall when he visited him last summer. He’s studying dragons now you see, and he’s taking up Ancient Runes still to further understand the creature.

Ethan was a popular kid, wasn't he? Or was it the heat?
Regardless, Grayson was taking full advantage of standing next to the boy. Waves and smiles were given over to Cris and a smirk over towards Ethan, who really was quite a popular kid. Jeez. It was going to turn into a party in here, you know.
Of course, winks were returned to Lotus Wisteria, as well as smirks over towards a certain Sassy Loony. Jealous, are we?
His attention was then occupied by the clearing of a throat and his blue eyes settled on Botros. Er. Runes? Oh man, he really should have sat down and tried to memorise them, shouldn't he? He knew some but there were just so many! How was he meant to know all off them from the top of his head? Thinking that the surroundings will give him a clue, the Slytherin looked around him instead, only to be severely disappointed. There were desks. And quite a few people seemed to be standing. Aside from that, he couldn't put his finger on what part of the surroundings were meant to be giving him a clue on what they were going to be learning about.
Apart from the freaking cold.
He was going to go with that. Uh huh. Raising his hand in the air, Grayson said, "Well it's frea-- freezing in here and there's a rune that's linked with ice. I........... sa? Yeah, that! I think we're learning about that one." Yes. Brilliant.
This wasn't going to be a class filled with boring lectures, was it?
In his time leading up to now, Austin had found that runes was not his strong subject. It could have been that he didn't put enough time and effort into learning everything as he did his other subjects. But who was really keeping track? Jumping up and down a bit, he tried to think. It was really hard to do so, though, in the cold. Hmm... cold? Well, if certain runes needed an environment to work, an ice rune of some sort would be perfect in this condition. But at the same time, how would they know if they've done it right? Ice runes would give off some sort of cold feeling, and if they were already cold, then they wouldn't be able to tell. So maybe the opposite? A heating rune perhaps? Something that would give off heat? Merlin's beard, I hope so. He thought.
He raised his hand, and waited to be called on. "Professor, would it be some sort of heating rune? I'm not sure what the name is, sorry." But he was almost sure that there was one out there. There had to be.
Ethan was exactly right. If they did not have that charm. It would be more horrible than it already was. "Nigel"
Ah, finally class was starting. Well it might be Kenaz. That would be interesting. With all the cold around them learning about fire. But Nigel was going to go with the obvious answer that Grayson gave. It was probably Isa.
"Isa"
Just thinking about it made him cold.

It was too COLD for a snowball fight, and Dima had convinced Maddie to come back inside with him after a good bit of whining. But he hadn't been aware that attempting to go through the double doors instead of the way they came out would lead them straight to a... a class? One he didn't take?
The rune talk SOUNDED interesting, though. Plus the desks were blocking his way in, and he wasn't keen on searching around the castle for another entrance. So after exchanging hushed whispers with his friend, Dima got on all fours and began crawling around the boxes scattered everywhere. He tried to stay unnoticed and not disrupt the progressing class, finally reaching the wall where some boys stood. The professor wouldn't MIND, right?
Was Maddie coming or?

Time to get started. Sophie glanced forward and gave the professor her undivided attention as he began the lesson. Just one rune?! WOOT! What luck! Sophie wasn't the greatest at Runes, as was the same with nearly everybody in her family. Learning about just one rune was perfectly fine by her.
Now which rune was that? "Isa," she suggested, raising her hand. That was all she said about that, since he'd suggested they list the name and nothing but the name.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
'Isn't it' hardly classified as an explanation but Lex was willing to believe it was the only one she'd be getting so she decided not to think into it too much. Surely the Professor didn't plan to have the remainder of their classes at this hour so it wasn't going to become a big deal. She figured they'd start with the guessing of runes but what she didn't factor into the lesson was Dima.....crawling along the ground like that.
She wasn't gonna say anything, but she did find it curious, and distracting enough to keep her from paying attention to the actual lesson. What were they on about again?
Lex raised an eyebrow at the kid. Wasn't it his bedtime?

No. Nope. This was, in fact, Stupid Head. Pretty face? Beverly scoffed. Call a girl pretty after licking her precious new quill. Yeah, that was going to earn him points. NOT.
"Do jerks get bruises?" she shot back coolly with a raise of her eyebrows. No need to call attention to her. Not more than there already was.
Jerks? Bruises?
Gareth let out a chuckle. Was not that cute? Apparently pretty face was cold since she let out this freezing air out of herself. Cold pretty face. Displeased pretty face. Gary supposed he knew what would please her though. He ignored the fact that the class had started and whispered his answer to her question. "Depends."
Oh...he seriously didn't care right now what rune the class was going to be about. Right now, he was more interested in this girl. No guesses for the rune. Nope. When finally the old man professor announce the name of the rune, he would probably join in...if the magic of the rune interested him. Silently, he stood up a tiny bit and scooted his seat close to Beverly's until there was no space between them an sat down. Now he was right next to her.
*smirk*
