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!
You know if it was not for the fact that Dima and Maddie were in Ravenclaw House. Nigel would be on the floor laughing his head off. Ascanius' pants were literally on fire. It was hilarious.
First Years Claws were really awesome.
Just don't remember that Nigel is the Claw Prefect and everything will be dandy in this class right now.
Nigel was still silently laughing thinking about it.
He loved fire.

[COLOR="#5c246e"] But it was still a bit chilly where the fire DIDN'T reach, so the first year had to shuffle around some for extra warmth. It would have been a good idea to let Maddie hold the torch, yeah? Too late, though, 'cause it was in Dima's hand. And paired with his clumsiness, that fire was bound to cause issues.
Like.... uh oh.
"Excuse me, mister?" He tapped the boy who was in front of him on the shoulder. "Your... er...... pants are on fire."
Ascanius had been waiting for the next set of instructions, y'know, when he suddenly felt a lot warmer. Jeez, took the old coot long enough to light a fire or something, yeah? The room did nothing for heat and standing 'round like a bunch of idiots wasn't helpful in the least.
Though, he couldn't help but wonder...was something burning?
It smelled like something was burning. Properly burning.
Just as he was about to investigate the source of the smell, that first year who had bothered him in Diagon Alley earlier in the year was bothering him yet again. What did this kid want? Couldn't he tell he was doing the whole dark, quiet and mysterious thing?
"What do yo-"
...sorry? He was WHAT? HOLY SOMETHING! LOTS OF CURSE WORDS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! THE FLIPPIN' WHAT?
Ascanius wasn't really sure what happened next. Screaming happened. That was for sure. So was patting down in the area where fire was, which was a VERY important area. He needed parts of his body that were on fire. And eh vaguely remembered having time to glare at Nigel who might have been laughing at him.
But no where in that did he bother to think of a way to put out the fire. 'Cause, y'know, he was on FIRE. Who had time to think about solutions? Not Ascanius.
Examining the torch she was handed, Beverly traced her fingers over Kenaz runes. So they were going to practice fire, not ice. That was MUCH better. Beverly about already had enough of the cold.
Placing the Kenaz runestone on her palm and her wand over it, she wrapped her fingers firmly around them. Now for the chant. "Kenaz kenaz kenaz...ku ka ki ke ko...kun kan kin ken kon...ok ek ik ak uk...kaunnnnnnnnn..."
Beverly waited and watched as the Kenaz runes gradually lit up in a nice glow. Then she smelled it.
...Was something burning?
Glancing around she raised an eyebrow. Look. A guy was on fire. On the opposite side of her, which meant she was safe. Someone should put it out though. Just saying.
Mr. Unicorn: Kim's daughter: Jenn's sister : MILKSHAKES: Lita Daley: The Sun: Its so Fluffy!
Ascanius was on fire, and it seemed like no one was trying to help him. Which was awesome. This was the best thing that had ever happened to him, seriously. However this happened, if anyone let this happen, Tag had to give the result of this props. Because, yes, this was spectacular.
The best thing was that was all of these students, including Ascanius, knew how to use magic, a simple aguamenti would probably do. But knowing him, his pride probably didn't want to look like he peed on himself.
So he had two options. Barbequed legs or peed pants.
Jedi Master•General Iroh•Java Junkie• King ♛ Stefan •Mycroft Holmes•Dragon Lord•Druid Boy
There was commotion all right, but Ethan cannot be bothered right now because they are close to getting warmth and all that. He however, looked up when he smelled something...burning.
Sniff sniff
Uh-oh. Ethan craned his neck and looked at the back where he heard the commotion. Someone wasn't paying attention. Apparently.

Well, who knew? It hadn't been Isa. Huh. Interestingly enough, Kenaz never crossed her mind. Though it made sense, no doubt. Tamed fire, they were in clear need of that. Right, Ascanius?
Why exactly were they going to the lake, though? Interesting.
Between the cold ones and this, she felt more and more like she was joining those Watchers in the Wall. Which wouldn't happen because that's only in Westeros, and entirely fictional, but totally related. Also, she wasn't a man, so, nevermind.
All the cold, that could easily be dealt with.
So, she took out her rune and held it in the same hand with her wand. Torch taken from her bestie, because why not. Then came the chanting, a soft and NOT-as-loud-as-Marcus-Branxton chant, "Kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko.. kun kan kin ken kon.. ok ek ik ak uk... kaunnnnnnnnn." Glowing already. Because we're that awesome.
And there was more glowing coming from somewhere else... apparently, Ascanius' pants. Okay. She could laugh, but... she bit her lip instead. Good friend over here. A good friend who did nothing to help the fire extinguish or anything, lol. He knew how to use his wand, didn't he?
Did he?? Was someone going to help him or were they waiting until they all got to the lake? Freezing lake.
Hiding behind the legs of older boys was surprisingly uncomfortable, and Dima had to keep his line of sight directed downward to avoid observing things he did NOT want to see. But the worst part was that the temperature here was the same as it had been when he wanted to go inside. It was still cold enough to turn him and Maddie into snowmen (snowWOmen in his friend's case), and they didn't even have a route inside.
........ unless... torches? With wide eyes and solemn nods, he took the one that Lex offered to him. Nobody was lighting theirs yet, though. They had to chant or something first, but Dima didn't KNOW what to chant. Did that mean it was okay to light it?
"Incendio." Of course it was okay. He was a TOUSSAINT, yo, not some human ice cube. Uh huh.

And WHEN had they been spotted? The first year would have been disappointed with their lack of stealth had it not been for the torch they were passed. A torch meant fire, right? And warmth too though Maddie wasn't exactly sure having fire this close to people's trousers was safe. Unless...was that wall boy around? Hmm. Ideas, she had them.
"That's cheating," She whispered to Dima when he used incendio to light their torch. She didn't MIND, of course, but it WASN'T the directions that had been given. "...But good job." Warmth, she felt it.

But Maddie was cold. He could so tell. "You're welcome." Mhm.

Botros hadn't seen the torch light up, he was too busy admiring the work of his other good students. Look at all those glowing runes, so beautiful, so promising, so proud, so great, so-- yes, he saw the flames now. A BOY WAS TURNING INTO A TORCH. "Aguamenti!" Botros bellowed at the boy, drenching him in cold water from HEAD to TOE. Just to be sure he was properly fire-less.
"WHO lit the torch?" Ab scolded, hobbling over to the Slytherin boy and taking off one of his own two coats and throwing it around him, a bit forcefully. The coat wasn't that big considering the boy was bulky and tall enough, but it was definitely warm. Too warm, maybe. Botros was grabbing Stark's shoulder protectively, and he BLEW hot air into his face, to dry his hair. Yes, it wasn't fashionably messy anymore but it was DRY now. "You're alright?" He patted his shoulder like a man did to a man. Do not scream again, men don't scream, it said.
The professor looked down a little and found two small creatures with the lit torch. They were humans, so they must be students. Why were they hiding? Botros let go of Stark and SIGHED. "Stand up, come on, stand up." He put out their torch and reached over to grab the little girl's hand, expecting her to grab her friend's hand. He then dragged them towards their laughing Prefect.

Botros smacked Barrington on the back of the head softly. "Ease up on the humor, Barrington." And he continued dragging the two kids to the wall to deal with them.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
After he had chanted the Kenaz..something. The boy noticed that the rune started to glow and he smiled a bit when he saw it. His attention was then turned to the other students and he blinked. It was wrong but he did not care 'cause Kevin was watching the scene of the Slytherin getting caught fire and he was LAUGHING so hard that his stomach hurt. What? He did not care about other peoples safety plus..this whole thing was funny and the Professor was helping him quickly anyways so yeah...BWAHAHAHA
Not to mention they were in a magical place so he would be fixed up in a second. Seeing the Professor dragging two kids to the wall , probably to have a word with them. He could not help but grin when he noticed that those kids were RAVENCLAWS. "Aren't they supposed to be the SMART ones?" and in case anyone wondered....yes that was revenge for the time the 'Claws had called the Lions stupid and unliked.
"Isa, the rune of ice and cruel coldness, is the most obvious rune to choose." He stated, with a sly grin that made his wrinkles stand out on his gentle face. "But no, we will not be learning about Isa this time. It's already freezing in here like most of the smart ones pointed out, so teaching you about Isa and having to chant Isa spells would simply kill us all." He chuckled. "Not Isa, but nice try."
Sowilo was an interesting choice. Botros rubbed his chin, thoughtfully, and made a 'hmm' sound before he spoke. "Sowilo is the rune of the sun. Technically, it is the counter-force to Isa, and it represents the force of fire in the physical and mental sense of the word." It made sense that some students chose this rune. "You're very close. We are going to learn about a rune associated with fire, but Sowilo is not what we're going for tonight. The fire in Sowilo is untamed, it is wild and strong." Too much for what they were going to do.
.... why? "No." Botros shook his head gently at the boy.
"You're on the right track of thinking, yes, very good." But WHICH heating rune, hmm? HMM? Heh heh.
...unnoticed...
"Very interesting, dear. You can stop by my office if you like to chat about that later, but for now, focus on what we're discussing."
Botros snapped his fingers, pleased with the three students. "Exactly! We are going to learn about Kenaz today. It is the rune of fire, fire in the sense of illumination and warmth. It represents the tamed fire, the one that doesn't cause destruction or blindness. We're going to need that today."
Botros bent to one of the boxes and produced a wooden torch with the rune Kenaz carved excessively on the top. He held it high in the air for everybody to see. "We're going to light those torches with a spell and the help of Kenaz rune to sustain the flame while we make our way outside towards the lake." His face beamed at them all. "The spell to use is Incendio. Do not cast any spells yet, though. We need to discuss a few more things before that." His smiling face faltered to show them that he was serious.
"First, take our the runestone of Kenaz from your runestone set. Place the stone in your palm then grab your wand with that same hand, so that the runestone and the wand are in the same hand on top of each other." Botros demonstrated for them. "We're going to chant the Galdr for Kenaz, next, to invoke the strength and power of the runes on the torch.
"kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko.. kun kan kin ken kon.. ok ek ik ak uk... kaunnnnnnnnn" The runes carved on Botros' torch started to glow.
"Do the same. Someone pass over torches, please." He eyeballed the Prefects, specially. "Any questions, raise your hand."
ooc: - You can do the steps in more than one post but it is not mandatory, and do not do over 3 posts.

Glad to know that they were going to be warm soon. Taking out her runestone, Leah turned it around and around, looking at it. Setting it down on her palm with her wand, she listened to the professor chanting and followed.
"kenaz kenaz kenaz what?" the second year looked up, frowning. Bad memory, meh. Listening to the other students chanting, she somehow managed to say, "kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko.. kun kan kin ken kon.. ok ek ik ak uk... kaunnnnnnnnn..?" Glow! Pretty little glow! Grinning at her success, Leah looked around and saw a boy on fire and the professor getting mad at some firsties. Cute, hehe.

Okay, so she had absolutely no idea about runes at all, but they were going to light torches on fire and get some warmth so she was all about that. The first year saw that her very own prefect was handing out torches, so AJ grabbed one from here.
Listening to the instructions, AJ thought that the chant was a bit much and weird, but if it was going to get her warm, then she would give it a go. She noted that they would be using the incendio spell, but she didn't practice the incantation or anything just yet.
The first year made sure that everybody else was in fact participating before she herself did anything. Looking in her set, she grabbed the rune and placed it in the same hand as her wand. Next came the weird chanting.
"Kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko.. kun kan kin ken kon.. ok ek ik ak uk... kaunnnnnnnnn." Nope, this wasn't weird at all.

OH SWEET MERLIN, THERE WAS FIRE?!
................... SOMEONE WAS ON FIRE.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
Oh MAN. Grayson had dissolved into a fit of laughter, even moreso when Botros drenched the boy from head to toe. What a way to make an entrance into the lesson. People were going to know, more or less, what had happened now. Oh jeez. Please make this a regular thing. He would have no complaints about disrupting the lesson or whatever. This was an interesting addition.
It also looked like Dragon Boy needed to control his FIYAH.
No. Don't. This was FAR too funny.
Clearing his throat, the boy took a couple of deep breaths and stood up properly again. He smirked in their general direction, more towards Dima because of reasons. Uh huh. FULL approval from this Slytherin. And the Ancient Runes Professor was being good about it, too, from what he could tell so that was a bonus.
Sooooooo it was back to the usual chanting. "Kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko... kun kan kin ken kon... ok ek ik ak uk... kaunnnnnnnnn..."
Angel decided that she might as well join in with the practicing even though she was totally and utterly lost as to why they needed torches she thought that it might be dangerous giving a few of the students torches especially her sister and Adi but that was the professor's call.
Angel listened to what the Professor said and then decided to give it a go, she grabbed the rune and placed it in the same hand as her wand. "kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko.. kun kan kin ken kon.. ok ek ik ak uk... kaunnnnnnnnn!!" Angel was totally confused about this maybe they were saying this because they had forgot the words, she wasn't sure though but she was totally confused, now were was AJ to keep her warm it was cold here. Her sister would hug her right.

Maddie didn't really react much when the older boy started screaming. She actually took a step back and observed, curious to see how long it'd take him to put out the fire. Experiences like this could teach you a lot and here is some of the things Maddison had taken away:
1. Dima was never ever EVER to be trusted with fire. Imagine if this had happened in that place where they had the thing with the other person? They all would have went up in flames so yes, no fire. That was going in the BOOK. The special one. The one they had for reasons.
2. The boy they Dima had set on fire wasn't really that bright. Or well, he WAS because he was on FIRE but NOT because he was smart. He'd apparently forgotten he was a wizard from the time he'd been lit until now because he hadn't once attempted to use his wand to stop the flames. Interesting, that was. Perhaps this little accident would teach him to use it in the future and for THAT lesson, Dima should be THANKED. UH-HUH. And look at that, he was WET. Looks like he was safe after all.
3. Nigel and Mo were cool. She approved SO much because MO had started chanting louder to cover for them, she KNEW, and NIGEL was laughing at the thing. See? It wasn't THAT big of a deal.
4. People at Hogwarts did NOT respect your personal space. The hugging with Kyroh and Dima was BAD ENOUGH but NOW she had an old man professor HOLDING HER HAND. Unnecessary! She could follow him WITHOUT the help, THANK YOU. And NOW she was expected to hold Dima's hand and SIGH. Just. UGH.
Begrudgingly slipping her hand into Dima's she tugged him along with the same power Botros was using to tug her. She bit her lip when the Runes dude whacked Nigel on the head, fighting laughter. Did Dima SEE that? She didn't know that was allowed in school but HEH. COOL. Also, Dima's tears would totally be appreciated right now. Maddie had been in trouble enough times with her parents to not get emotional over punishments but Dima, he LOOKED like a crier. PLUS Dima was cute so if he used those two things to their advantage, MAYBE he could get them out of this.
...Waterworks, please? It WAS his fault, after all.
Lucy grabbed one torch then she listened the instructions of the Professor!
She took the runestone from her runestone set and placed it in the same hand as her wand..
Next she started to chant..
Kenaz kenaz kenaz..ku ka ki ke ko..kun kan kin ken kon..ok ek ik ak uk..
Kaunnnnnnnnn"..but nothing happened..

Okay, so Sophie loved good amusement. Thank you, Ascanius, for providing that today. So he was on fire, but come on, what was the big deal? Her grandmother supposedly did that kind of thing all the time when she taught here. Still, Botros' reaction was oh, soooo funny.
Now...who else wanted to catch themselves on fire? Sophie always loved roasting marshmallows.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
Lex had gone on chanting with the rest of the class after handing out all the torches to the people in her immediate area and grinning at those nice enough to thank her but then she noticed how impassioned Mo got about his chanting and figured...he must have seen them too. Well that was one way to go about it and just like him, she'd continue chanting like their class hadn't been invaded...
until the screaming Ascanius happened.
What? A closer look and she realized he had fire shooting up his pants...fire? From torches they weren't meant to li--Dima. Of course. Give the kid that wasn't meant to have a torch a torch and tell him to blend in then he lights someone on fire. Smooth Ravenclaw, real smooth.

She was just gonna...keep chanting..."Kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko... kun kan kin ken kon... ok ek ik ak uk... kaunnnnnnnnn..." Until she heard that and admittedly, it brought a smirk to her face, remembering the events of that potions class. Funny how the tables turned. Lex leaned a bit closer to Kevin, not scolding him at all but rather, "It's a common misconception. Don't believe everything you hear." Because hahahaha no Claws were dumb. There were exceptions but she and Lottie had long ago figured out the truth; a functioning brain most did not have.
She watched the Professor carry the two along while she continued her chanting. Clearly not students to be trusted with stealth. If anything came up she'd be looking elsewhere.

Alright this is just what he needed some warmth in the cold outside right now.. he knew he had on enough layers but it was still bloody cold.. Practising the chant he followed along "kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko.. kun kan kin ken kon.. ok ek ik ak uk… kaunnnnnnnnn" he did this a few more times over to make sure he had it right.
reaching for a torch he managed to grab one with out falling on some ice.. he placed it in his hand with his rune stone and he wasn't sure if he need to chant at the same time he was holding everything.
Raising his hand he asked "Sir.. do we chant the same time were holding our stone and wand?"

"Yes, when you're holding them both." That was what he'd just said, wasn't it? Still, he was okay with clarifying it for the boy. This one was a good boy. He didn't set people on fire.

Like those two little ones. Botros let go of the girl's hand and looked at them both with disappointed, serious eyes. "I'm sure you know that not listening to the professor have consequences. I told you not to light the torch. You should not have lit the torch. You!" He pointed at the boy (lemon) with the torch. "You'll have to say yes to all requests people ask of you for the next three days." Botros pointed a finger at him warningly, "I'll give you something that will help you with that." He had pendants and runes that could track intentions, he could make this work. Mhmm.
"And you." He pointed at the boy's sidekick (TakeMeToTheBurrow). "You should learn how to step up to your friends more than your... not friends." Foes seemed such a strong word for their age. "You'll have to do three nice things to Mr. Stark over there to make it up to him that you participated in setting him on fire." Nodnodnod.
NOW.
Ab turned to the rest of the class, "Light your torches with Incendio, and watch the glowing runes give the flame a sustainable energy. We're marching outside in a line in a bit." He gave the two troublemakers a nudge towards Barrington. "Go on, stick with your Prefect for the rest of the class."
ooc: - you can still chant the galdr if your character thinks the flame on the torch is weak.
- Lesson will resume tomorrow again!
- Any questions you may PM/VM/IM me.

Okay Bay was so glad that the Professor clarified things for him and wasn't angry at him.. well because other students setting other students on fire would drive anyone to be angry. now doing as he told he held his stone and wand in the same hand and chanted.. because he didn't do that last time.. now that it was fully completed Bay lit his torch as Professor Botros instructed. "Incendio" he said as he watched his torch being engulfed in flames.
"ahhh finally some more warmth.." this was exactly what he was just wishing for. seeing the runes on his torch glow red, yellow and orange "cool" he said while bringing his flame closer to him but to close enough where he will be lit on fire.

Aw, man. Botros came to the rescue, unfortunately. He was the only one that seemed rather concerned about Ascanius' safety. Hmm. Probably because everyone at Hogwarts was so used to seeing crazy things like this happened, it probably hadn't phased out too many people. Clearly Tag and Nigel were those people.
Anyway now he was covered in water. Though, this entire ordeal was still as good. Interesting class was definitely interesting.
Poor Nigel though. His hair was being messed about with.
Back to class though. Now they were meant to light the torches. "Incendio." Tag said, his wand pointed at the torch. It seemed like the flames were all right, doing what flames do. Being flamey.
Marching in a line. Tag waited to see how this 'marching in line' would go.

Botros smacked Barrington on the back of the head softly. "Ease up on the humor, Barrington." And he continued dragging the two kids to the wall to deal with them.

1. Dima was never ever EVER to be trusted with fire. Imagine if this had happened in that place where they had the thing with the other person? They all would have went up in flames so yes, no fire. That was going in the BOOK. The special one. The one they had for reasons.
2. The boy they Dima had set on fire wasn't really that bright. Or well, he WAS because he was on FIRE but NOT because he was smart. He'd apparently forgotten he was a wizard from the time he'd been lit until now because he hadn't once attempted to use his wand to stop the flames. Interesting, that was. Perhaps this little accident would teach him to use it in the future and for THAT lesson, Dima should be THANKED. UH-HUH. And look at that, he was WET. Looks like he was safe after all.
3. Nigel and Mo were cool. She approved SO much because MO had started chanting louder to cover for them, she KNEW, and NIGEL was laughing at the thing. See? It wasn't THAT big of a deal.
4. People at Hogwarts did NOT respect your personal space. The hugging with Kyroh and Dima was BAD ENOUGH but NOW she had an old man professor HOLDING HER HAND. Unnecessary! She could follow him WITHOUT the help, THANK YOU. And NOW she was expected to hold Dima's hand and SIGH. Just. UGH.
Begrudgingly slipping her hand into Dima's she tugged him along with the same power Botros was using to tug her. She bit her lip when the Runes dude whacked Nigel on the head, fighting laughter. Did Dima SEE that? She didn't know that was allowed in school but HEH. COOL. Also, Dima's tears would totally be appreciated right now. Maddie had been in trouble enough times with her parents to not get emotional over punishments but Dima, he LOOKED like a crier. PLUS Dima was cute so if he used those two things to their advantage, MAYBE he could get them out of this.
...Waterworks, please? It WAS his fault, after all.

I told you not to light the torch. You should not have lit the torch. You!" He pointed at the boy (lemon) with the torch. "You'll have to say yes to all requests people ask of you for the next three days." Botros pointed a finger at him warningly, "I'll give you something that will help you with that." He had pendants and runes that could track intentions, he could make this work. Mhmm.
"And you." He pointed at the boy's sidekick (TakeMeToTheBurrow). "You should learn how to step up to your friends more than your... not friends." Foes seemed such a strong word for their age. "You'll have to do three nice things to Mr. Stark over there to make it up to him that you participated in setting him on fire." Nodnodnod.
NOW.
Ab turned to the rest of the class, "Light your torches with Incendio, and watch the glowing runes give the flame a sustainable energy. We're marching outside in a line in a bit." He gave the two troublemakers a nudge towards Barrington. "Go on, stick with your Prefect for the rest of the class."
Just as his friend had, Dima also learned a couple things from the fiery experience. Like he was smarter than some seventh years! That burning hobo boy? Didn't even look like he KNEW the Water-Making Spell, and THIS KID did! It was the one he'd learned under the table in the Common Room after Professor Cupboardbin had given him that potion mixture. Maybe he could offer to teach it to him later?
And Nigel and Grayson were either laughing at him or laughing at someone being set on fire which either meant that they thought humans being barbecued was FUNNY, or they were just like Angelo and found it amusing when he did bad stuff on accident.
But at least it was pants this time and not like that dude's hair in Ollivander's, right? Right?
The professor, though, apparently didn't know of Dima's progress with setting people on fire and how it was SO MUCH better this time. It was. "I'm... I'm s-sorry, professor. We don't actually take this class, and we were coming from outside and it was c-c-cold and somebody gave me a torch and we didn't know how to do the other stuff and just want-t-ted to stay without disrupting your l-lesson." Which... had gone so well, clearly.
He gave the professor his best puppy eyes. ANYTHING that people requested?! What if someone told him to jump off a tower or something? What if he DIED? "I was the one holding the torch, sir. N-not Maddie. She didn't do anything. I j-just tripped and then the guy was on fire and it wasn't her fault. I can do the three n-nice things for that boy t-t-too."
Along with the stutters and the eyes, Dima threw in a couple of fake wibbles. Was it working? Weren't old people supposed to be UNDERSTANDING?
Huh. Maybe this guy was like Gramma Serafina. Aka evil.

.... they didn't TAKE his class? Oh for Odin's sacred eye. That changed things. First off, their Prefect was free. Second of all... well... "Your punishment stays, son." Botros said, taking the boy's trembling chin seriously. "Yours and your sidekick friend over here." The girl. "Report back to me in my office when you've done your punishment." He gave them both a confident look, and waited for any last words before getting kicked out sent back to their dorms.
Catching up. Don't know how I missed your last post.

Cris quickly lit his torch like the Professor had told them to do. As he cast the spell and said, "Incendio", Cris watched as the flame lit the torch. Then he ended the spell before proceeding to chant the galdr to the rune Kenaz again.
"kenaz kenaz kenaz... ku ka ki ke ko.. kun kan kin ken kon.. ok ek ik ak uk… kaunnnnnnnnn" and sure enough, he could see not only the runes on the torch start to glow. As for the flame, he really didn't any difference except for a momentary flash of brightness, but he figured that time would tell whether his chanting had been strong enough to keep the fire burning.
Keeping an eye on the flame as it burned, Cris waited for the Professor to lead them out to the lake.

Well, this lesson had certainly taken an unexpected turn.
Hearing a scream, Lux was startled to see that one of the older boys had his pants on fire. Shocked, she watched as Professor Botros dealt with the situation in a way that the boy could have easily done. But then she reflected that when one was on fire they didn't necessarily keep their wits about them.
The punishments that the First Years received were kind of funny. They hadn't caused trouble on purpose, but Professor Botros was right: the torch never should have been lit. As it was, Lux couldn't really understand why the girl was being puniched since she hadn't been the one holding the lit torch. Maybe Botros was in a bad mood now.
Following instructions, she lit her torch using Incendio, and watched the flames curiously. The heat was definitely going to make her feel a little warmer.
