The classroom was back to normal. The desks, the bookshelves, the spherical shape with the symbols in the front, the professor's desk on the dais and the blackboard nearby. Everything was back to the way it had been before the former lesson. The name-tags are set down on the desks so you should look for your name and have a seat at that exact place.
To the side of the classroom there were three long rows of potted plants, the professor had lied them down in a perfect order so make sure not to trip or touch anything. Walk in, take a seat and wait for the class to begin.
ooc: - Class will officially begin later today, so you can play your character walking in and taking a seat.
- All SS, SS RPG & AR's guidelines and rules apply. So be nice. ;)
Runes... No. She couldn't do it. That and Arithmancy. She just didn't get those two subjects at all. This lesson was going to be sooooooo long. Ugh. Why did she attend this lesson? The professor was nice and all but runes made her head hurt.
She walked into the classroom. No professor? Well she headed over to a seat next to Lux. But wait that wasn't her name on the desk. She sighed and looked for her name tag. Lux was her only way of surviving this class and she was on the other side of the room from her. She flopped down in the desk with her name tag. Quickly she looked around for a smart person to help her make it though this lesson. Anyone?

Botros wasn't late to his own lesson, nope, he'd just forgotten to get the box from his office and had to 'run' and get it. Except he wasn't capable of running so he turtle!shuffled his way to his office, got the box, and now he made it back to the class to find... "Oh! Hello." All his students were already inside. He beamed at everyone and closed the door behind him. The box was set on his desk, and he flopped down on his chair to take a breather.
"Good morning, everyone, I hope everybody had breakfast before they came in." It was one of his unofficial rules. He didn't want sleepyheads and yawning traps. "Today, we're going to learn about one of the most powerful artifacts in ancient wizarding history, we're not going to dwell on its history, I'm sure professor Glendower would be happy to answer your questions if you had some, but we're going to learn about its magic, the how and why." Because said artifact had runes all over it, obviously.
Ab turned to the blackboard and waved his wand.

Samantha mentally flipped through her Ancient Runes textbook until an image appeared in her mind. She raised her hand. "I think one is called 'Jera'. That is the one I think looks like a disconnected diamond," she answered with a hint of doubt in her voice.

Ethan was unusually in deep thought as he sat there and waited for the class to begin. His thoughts brought him back to last term wherein he saw Professor Bentley in her office, and was half-way through packing. The plants in the classroom made him remember it, because if he knew earlier that she was leaving, he would have given her a nice potted plant with runes engraved on the pot. The former Herbology professor won’t need to water it and such because the runes would keep it alive and healthy.
The prefect snapped back to the present and as he blinked, he saw runes drawn on the board.
Some of the runes? He knows all four runes, but he’d not hog all the answers so he’ll just go and give one. Raising his hand, Ethan cleared his throat. “The first rune from the bottom is the ‘Eihwaz’, professor.” The endurance, strength, and protective rune. Maybe that has something to do with the survival of plants?

Angel looked at the Professor and smiled "Professor is one of the runes on that chart ūruz?" Angel thought she had it right but then some of the other ones look the same and she was very confused, maybe there was more to runes history then she thought.

Ian saw the professor walk/shuffle into the classroom, toting a box. The professor looked a bit winded and Ian felt a little bad for the man. It must be challenging for a man of the professor's advanced years to navigate the castle at times. Of course, Ian remembered two terms ago as Bltros had taken his youth, and that of other students, for a while in an attempt to feel a bit more spry. Ian still had affectionate thoughts about the runes professor.
Ian watched as the professor illustrated a bracelet and when the question was asked, Ian consulted his runes chart. He still wasn't quick at rune identification. He heard the other students answer and noticed that all the runes seemed to have been identified so Ian sat quietly waiting for the lesson to progress.

With a return wave to Adi she shifted once more in her seat as the door opened yet again and in walked the Professor. He appeared to be in his right mind and Hady relaxed at this. As the Professor made his way to the front of the room and pulled an object from the box he was carrying Hady took out her quill, notebook and a piece of parchment.
Sketching out the artifact onto her parchment with the runes on it she studied it a moment in silence. She really didn't know what they were or what they meant but that was okay because she was sure she'd find out very soon.

She hadn't gotten sick yet, not even a cold so that was a plus right there. Though she did tend to miss her best friend back home at times. That wasn't important though right now. At least she was making friends here.
Not wanting to be rude she gave a wave to Lex and Ian as well. Better to make friends then enemies.
He hadn't asked for the sake of asking, he had truly wanted to know, and with the response Hady provided, he couldn't be more pleased. Or well, he could've, but alright wasn't bad. "Yeah, good, excellent, brilliant..." and he was out of adjectives.

Adi waved to Zeke, Hady, Norah and Angel as he headed to find his seat. Ian got an acknowledgement as well in the form of a nod.
So...where was his seat? Oh! It was right there, right in front of him. He sat, wondering where old Botros was and what they'd be learning about during this lesson.
Seeing Adi enter, Zeke returned the prefects wave. Hehe. HIIIIIII.

Zeke sat up a little straighter in his seat, and listened as the lesson began.
He DID have breakfasts, and he had snacks on his way here too, so he was definitely well fed. As for the artifact thing, and the runes thing... he was LOST.

He could have sworn Emily mentioned Runes having strong magic and like protecting things or making them better... or stronger... or something. Maybe they made race horses faster? Still, he didn't know what was ON them, he'd only be guessing, but he could guess... couldn't he?
Raising his hand, Zeke took a stab in the dark and offered a response of, "Isa?" He didn't specify which one, because he didn't have a clue... but it was a RANDOM GUESS.
Samantha mentally flipped through her Ancient Runes textbook until an image appeared in her mind. She raised her hand. "I think one is called 'Jera'. That is the one I think looks like a disconnected diamond," she answered with a hint of doubt in her voice.
"Correct, the two one on top of the circle is Jera." He gave her a warm smile.

... huh? Mordaunt was an excellent student, why did he say Eihwa-- oh. Oh. Botros got up, "That's correct, it is Eihwaz. But... that's not right." He forgot to take his potions this morning, he wasn't fully focused. This was embarrassing. Ab waved his wand and the illustration changed a little.

"So, what's this new rune that I drew? And what do you think those three runes together mean?" He paused. "If you're unsure, open your textbook and see what each rune means when it's alone, then try to see what all three of them together mean." It was a little difficult for the young ones but they could always try and guess, Botros appreciated the effort.

Breakfast? Oh yeah. Adi had had a hearty one, thank ya very much. He was not going to suffer through a lesson again on an empty sstomach. Nope. He had learnt his lesson since the first Herbology class.
The boy's interest was perked up when Botros started to talk about an artifact. What could it be? He eyed the illustration on the board. "Sowilo,'' he said as he raised a hand. Then he looked back down at his book, confirming the meanings.
Jera meant harvest. Sowilo meant sun and Uruz meant strength. Erm...Did that mean that there was good harvest to come if there was sun and strength? Hmmm.

Ethan's eyes narrowed at his notes when he heard that he got the answer wrong. Well, he was sure that he got it right. Surely, Botros isn't being King Botros, today? Ethan was about to defend his answer when the professor got up and changed the drawing.
Oh so...the drawing was wrong.
The new rune appeared and was about to answer when a Ravenclaw (Gabe) answered. Ethan turned to face the older kid and gave him a grin and a nod. Ethan then consulted his notes and changed the drawing on his parchment.
Uruz, Jera, and Sowilo. Now, will they be engraving those on the plants' pots? Hm?

AJ had remained silent on the first question because she honestly was a lost cause in Ancient Runes. It was one of her worst subjects. It was a hard pill for her to swallow because she quite liked being the best at everything, thank you very much.
More runes, and AJ had to open her textbook. There was no way that she knew any of these off of the top of her head. Ummm... she finally found the runes in her book that resembled the runes on the board. AJ raised her hand. "Could it mean that sun is powerful and strong?" She was really going out on a limb here.
Toby was so distracted. SO DISTRACTED. All twitching and twirling his quill between his fingers but dropping it about twelve billion times, and staring between the moving patch of sunlight on his desk and the windows, trying to work out exactly where it was coming from. His foot was still taptaptapping incessantly under the desk and the Hufflepuff was trying so hard to channel all his energies into that one movement so he could focus on this lesson.
He'd skipped the first question, because he was still trying to get his focus back when it had been asked, but now he was determined to give it a shot. Gabriel Banner had already identified the rune, which left the other part of the question. Toby raised a hand, fingers fidgeting even as they were up in the air.
"They're each sort of to do with positive change, and growth, and positive energy, and success and all that. A couple are for fertility. So altogether, they'd be good to like... help things grow and... maybe stay alive? Like..." Toby's eyes strayed over to the potted plants at the side of the room for the first time. He might have added 'like plants' at that point, but yeah, distracteeeeeeed. Because PLANTS. This was good. If this was a plants lesson, this was GOOD.
Apparently having totally forgotten about not finishing the rest of his answer, Tobes went back to fidgeting with his quill and thinking about those PLANTS.

The third year was scribbling away down in her notes as her favorite class was going on. She really enjoyed Ancient Runes & she definitely felt like Professor Botros was a very marvelous Professor & she thoroughly enjoyed his lessons. But today's lesson was certainly something of interest & she knew it was going to be rather peculiar when she had seen the long row of plants lined up. But what they would be used for was what she was curious about. And it was when the runes Professor Botros had written on the board & everyone answering which runes they were, did it start making sense to her. Like Toby had said, perhaps they were going to help the plants with growth?
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
Zeke had responded to her silent question and she'd have been content to roll with it until he DID show up...but then....he was going on about brushing her hair, like he didn't know better.... Lex's eyes narrowed some. "I've hexed people for less Zeke. My hair stays the way it is." Yes, the way it was, unkempt and in a messy bun like right now--though this morning it wasn't an unwillingness to try that got it like this but rather the Gryffindor over sleeping and having no time to dedicate to it.
Still, her hair was fine the way it was thank you very much.
She turned as the Professor entered the classroom and got something onto the board. This really WAS going to be a normal Runes class. Now she was kinda missing the fairytale one but only because they hadn't used a rune to blow anything up in the longest time. Could they maybe have Thor's hammer before she left? Just curious.
Lex's attention was on the runes that her classmates called out. They'd said them all as she'd noted and it had her keeping quiet but then he added another. Yeah...oh wait people were already saying this one too. A part of her wanted to just maintain the silence but then...there was that one time back in her Second Year that she could remember and it had her offering an answer.
"I'll go with what everyone else is saying." See what she did there? Answering the question without directly repeating everyone else. She. Was. Clever.

Oh jeez, was he behind?
How was this possible when the class had only JUST started?
OH MAN.
Sitting up straight, Grayson pulled his notebook closer towards him and pulled out a quill. What could the three runes together mean? Jera, Uruz and Sowilo, if that Ravenclaw was right. See, the boy couldn't think of an answer off the top of his head so he pulled the textbook closer towards him as well. Remembering all twenty four runes and what they meant was gonna be HARD, something he had realised from his studies. He wasn't even sure how people DID this normally. Was it possible? He doubted it.
Flip......... flip........... flip.............
Jera, Uruz and Sowilo........ thank Merlin they were allowed to use their textbooks. Really. "I agree with Toby," he started, looking up from his book and giving the boy a 'sup nod, "It's about growth that gives off a positive result. And what's interesting is that Jera and Sowilo can't be inverted." Definite positive change and whatnot.
Kace was learning something interesting in this class. He was examining the runes and knew some of them. He knew Jera and Uruz. Kudos to him right? He copied down the shape of the like the horseshoe and copied the runes into it.

Alright now onto the next question after he copied down all his notes. He heard the question but didn't quite understand it. He flipped through his textbook....
Flip....flip....flip....flip...
He was about to speak but he heard his two fellow classmates Grayson and Toby give their answers and agreed with them. He nodded towards them and just stayed silent he didn't wanna repeat the same answer twice. "I agree with what Grayson and Toby said Professor.." he smiled just so he could at least speak during the class.
Angel looked at the Professor and raised her hand and smiled. "Professor do they all when they are put together have something to do with Power." Angel wasn't sure if it was right or not but she was at least trying and had at least guest something right which was actually progress in her eyes.

And right as Zander had sat down, Botros came in and suddenly the Gryffindor found himself lost... Again. How come Ancient Runes was always so confusing? He thought he knew what he was doing, but then he'd sit in on a lesson and everything would be all jumbled up again. ALSO, how come they spent an entire lesson looking for that Sebastian guy, but then they never talked about him ever again? Weird, huh?
There was definitely something fishy going on around here.
And it was probably all Romanos's fault.
Anyways, when another question was asked, Zander didn't even bother to raise his hand, instead opting to race through his textbook. There ought to be some useful information in here somewhere... Or somewhere.
Right as he found a rather useful looking page, he heard another student answer and welp, that was that. So maybe he'd just sit this round out and take some notes, yeah? Especially when Sophie's Toberson started talking because that was a lot to take in.

"Correct! The third rune in this runic chain is Sowilo or Sowulo or Sowelo, all pronunciation is correct." He beamed at the Ravenclaw and the Hufflepuff who answered.

With a nod, Abraham gestured at both girls to show that they were on the right track. "Yeeees, that's good. This series of runes do convey power, but in what sense. I know it's difficult to tell when you have no idea what kind of artifact we're talking about, but I'm testing your expertise." He grinned, pleased with the result.

And what's interesting is that Jera and Sowilo can't be inverted." Definite positive change and whatnot.
The professor snapped his fingers twice in excitement. "GREAT answers! It is all about the power of growth, and the fact that Swoilo and Jera cannot be inverted make this a very powerful chain of runes." He looked at the rest of the class excitedly as if his words made sense. "This chain of runes, my dears, is the Healing Charm." Oh dang, he needed some drumdrolls before he broke the news to class. "It is carved on the Healing Bracelet found in one of Egypt's ancient tombs. It's said that when invoked well, this bracelet can heal any malady." Botros looked at the blackboard with adoring eyes.
"The main rune in the chain as you can see is Swoilo, it is repeated many times to emphasize the purpose of this runic charm; Healing. Swoilo represents the sun, it is an endless source of energy and brilliance: a renewal of hope and achievement. The sun's rays offer vital healing energy, and the appearance of this rune often indicates a positive resolution to a health issue, or a time of successful recovery." He waited for them to write those things down if they wanted to, though it was all there in the textbook.
"Then we have Uruz, the rune of strength, connecting the runes that are on the edge. It's there for this specific reason, to strengthen this chain of runes and make it almost unbreakable. You cannot invert Uruz, that makes it invincible when it's the chain holder.
"Jera is about change, a growing and fertile change. It helps the healing rune, Swoilo, get rid of the malady and let its healing energy flow into the target be it a human or a creature - anything with life in it." Botros waited some more before shooting his question.
"Can you think of more runes we could add to this chain to make it even more effective?"

Professor Botros was back to normal again, which was a good thing though it meant his lessons were once more confusing. At least when he was King Triton she got to have her hair brushed and pretend to be a mermaid Princess.
Confused, Lux kept quiet and wrote down notes on what was being taught even if she didn't understand any of it. She really was not good at this class and needed all the help she could get when it came to understanding Runes.

Benny watched quietly as class was begun, the arch of runes revealed by the professor. The carved shapes weren't unfamiliar since they were the runes talked about throught all their classes but the fourth year was having trouble identifying them individually. All he could seem to do was listen up as his classmates answered and copy them into his notes. Sowilo here...Jera there...Uruz the last of the trio, their meanings a blur even as Botros went over them.
He did try his best at trying to draw it all so he had something for reference later on. But as the question went up for more runes to add, Benny flipped through his textbook. There had to be something. "Could Algiz be used?" he questioned after raising his hand.

The professor snapped his fingers twice in excitement. "GREAT answers! It is all about the power of growth, and the fact that Swoilo and Jera cannot be inverted make this a very powerful chain of runes." He looked at the rest of the class excitedly as if his words made sense. "This chain of runes, my dears, is the Healing Charm." Oh dang, he needed some drumdrolls before he broke the news to class. "It is carved on the Healing Bracelet found in one of Egypt's ancient tombs. It's said that when invoked well, this bracelet can heal any malady." Botros looked at the blackboard with adoring eyes.
"The main rune in the chain as you can see is Swoilo, it is repeated many times to emphasize the purpose of this runic charm; Healing. Swoilo represents the sun, it is an endless source of energy and brilliance: a renewal of hope and achievement. The sun's rays offer vital healing energy, and the appearance of this rune often indicates a positive resolution to a health issue, or a time of successful recovery." He waited for them to write those things down if they wanted to, though it was all there in the textbook.
"Then we have Uruz, the rune of strength, connecting the runes that are on the edge. It's there for this specific reason, to strengthen this chain of runes and make it almost unbreakable. You cannot invert Uruz, that makes it invincible when it's the chain holder.
"Jera is about change, a growing and fertile change. It helps the healing rune, Swoilo, get rid of the malady and let its healing energy flow into the target be it a human or a creature - anything with life in it." Botros waited some more before shooting his question.
"Can you think of more runes we could add to this chain to make it even more effective?"

Gabe flushed a bright red, ducking his face down into his notebook. He still wasn't used to being recognized....for being smart. Sure, he knew more than most others and that was, apparently, useful......but....
He sat quietly for a few moments, willing the heat in his face to subside......before carefully putting his quill back into position. Embarrassed or not, Gabe didn't wànt his notes to suffer. So, the additions began in earnest.....before he'd worked himself into answering again.
His voice was a bit lower, as well.
"Laguz...is water." Water had the ability to heal.....In fact, it was considered sacred in some Ancient cultures because of it.

Rune Meanings Sowilō: It represents the sun, it is an endless source of energy and brilliance: a renewal of hope and
achievement. The sun's rays offer vital healing energy, and the appearance of this rune often indicates a positive resolution to a health issue, or a time of successful recovery.
Uruz: The rune of strength, connecting the runes that are on the edge. It's there for this specific reason, to strengthen this chain of runes and make it almost unbreakable. You cannot invert Uruz, that makes it invincible when it's the chain holder.
Jera: Jera is about change, a growing and fertile change. It helps the healing rune, Swoilo, get rid of the malady and let its healing energy flow into the target be it a human or a creature - anything with life in it.
Additional Runes Berkana: Like the birch tree coming to life from a seed planted in
the earth, Berkana represents a new beginning and is also a powerful birth
rune.
Laguz: Laguz represents the power of water and its easy
flowing nature. We must learn to “go with the flow” when this rune shows
up in a reading so that we can take full advantage of our powers.

She was getting all of this, she was totally getting it. Nothing, nothing at all was happening in her head. AJ had her listening ears on, she did. It was just that runes were not her friend, and quite frankly she found them kind of boring.
Sigh.
For good measure AJ took some notes. It was true that all of the information was in her book, but maybe if she condensed the notes it would help her study down the road. Another rune?
More flipping happened. Her fingers scanned the pages until she stopped on one that looked promising. "What about Ansuz? It's supposed to give you blessings, inspirations and stuff like that." It had to make the other runes more powerful when combined. Totes made sense to her.
