The classroom was ordinary this morning. The desks were lines perfectly in three long rows, nametags were put on each desk indicating where everyone sat during their last class. It was cold outside but the classroom had a tad extra warmth in it than anywhere else in the castle (maybe except Botros' office which was always heated extra). Botros stood by his big desk leaning on his cane/staff and waiting for the students' arrival.
ooc: - Lesson will start in about 12 hrs from now, so you can post your character walking in.
- Today's lesson will not be too Runes-related but rather blending with the school's camps, so I encourage you to attend even without being knowledgeable about runes!
- Please familiarize yourself with this Class' rules and guidelines before posting here.
- Let's have fun!

Time to describe their partner again.
Adi was the first one who spoke and he said that she's sensitive. The young lioness couldn't help but grin and slightly blush when he said that. Really, sensitive? Maybe because she was opened to him about her insecurities and stuff. But she didn't feel ashamed to tell him about that since the Hufflepuff prefect was like a big brother that she'd never ha.... Wait, she does have a big brother but since she and Dima is nineteen years apart, he was more like a second father to her.
And now it's her turn to describe him. Ugh... "I'm gonna say that Adi is..." Cool, Fantastic, Nice, Caring... Aaaaargggh!!! It's hard to describe him in just one word. "Kindhearted." Yes, he is.

Like Charades or something. Just as fun without spilling his darkest secrets. No one was supposed to know about the socks.
Benzi snorted and grinned as he returned to his seat, deciding to give the card back at the end of the lesson. Could he doodle on it? "You too Penrose," he quipped back and sat down, very much ready to get to the actual learning now because he had NEWTs this year, did Botros remember that?
D'aww.
Had Reagan just made a new friend? Yes! Yes, she had. Sorry, Benzi Rider. You were officially a friend now. And for his trouble, Rea beamed in his direction, an extra bounce in her bum as she sat in her seat. Man, this had been just what she'd needed. Yas, FEED her the POSITIVE VIBES.
Rawr....like a Gryffindor. Teehee.
Before too long, Professor Botros was speaking again; gathering their collective attentions towards the front of the room. This time, they weren't given too hard a task. It was very straight forward, in fact. A repeat of the previous, but now with more details and information being provided beforehand. How clever that man was...
"Benzi Rider is tenacious, sir."...in her honest opinion. AND HE'D SAID SHE WAS PASSIONATE. Ugh, FRIEND. How kind was that?!...Not that she APPROVED of describing anyone with a single word. The English language was chalked full of beautifully descriptive terms that she could've painted an elaborate picture with...but 'tenacious' would; for now.
...and really, tenacity was something that everyone should strive to exude.

And there it was, the first - was it the first? Daxton thought it must be the first - real mention of Runes throughout the entire lesson, and yet class was almost over. The Headmaster had just said that this was the last activity.
At the question, Daxton did not react at first, but listened to what the others had said, subconsciously comparing the word choices to those that had been mentioned at the start of class. None of them could really be applied to what he had learned of Phillip Romalotti. In fact... he could not think of a single word that might apply, other than maybe... 'ashamed'. The Slytherin boy had definitely been quite insistent that Daxton not share what he had told him. All that Daxton could possible deduce from that in his limited understanding of other people was that he must be ashamed.
But he did not say so out loud, because he was Daxton, and it was well established by that point that he did not say anything out loud. Instead, the Ravenclaw shot Phillip Romalotti a sidelong glance, and then looked back at Botros.

Angel raised her hand and then she smiled as she looked at the Headmaster. "I am going to say that Olympia is intriguing." Angel really thought that her fellow Gryffindor was intriguing in a nice fun way and she was hoping to get to chat with her more someday soon.

You know, Phillip had actually LIKED this lesson, and he didn't think he'd like this subject too much. The sight of the runes alone had given him a headache, he didn't know how he'd have survived a whole LESSON let alone one that's first thing in the MORNING based around those funny looking shapes.
Still, the boy was looking forward to leaving and maybe grabbing SOMETHING to eat before his next class. Like some strawberries? Or a cake? OR some of that A M A Z I N G pie that the house elves made that one da--
Describe Daxton? Uh. Phillip looked over towards the Ravenclaw just in time to catch him looking towards HIM. If he could read minds............ but he couldn't so he had N O idea what one word the other first year was thinking of. So, he did the one thing he was best at doing: pulling an innocent, sweet smile. If he was going to write something in that notebook of his to show to the elderly man, write something nice, please? Like how great he was at playing air guitar?
Because he was. He even had the headbang down to prove it.
But back to Botros. "Daxton is.......... mysterious." What? It wasn't a BAD thing, so to say.
As the students started giving out their answers, the board started writing.

Botros looked at the list happily, "See? Compare this beautiful list with the one we came up with beginning of class. It's very obvious how much connection you shared in one hour. Imagine how deep this connection will grow in years. Your hogwarts family is something you shouldn't take for granted. We stand together, and we triumph." He finished quietly with a warm smile at everyone. "You may leave now, thank you for attending today. Homework will be up soon." They could go now.
ooc: - class is dismissed, thanks for playing with me.
Sophie wasn't blind - she could SEE people rolling their eyes at her for gushing about Zander, but didn't they realize it was the ASSIGNMENT? Also, even MORE than that, she was PROVING A POINT about how Zander wasn't just silly and whatever most people viewed him as. He was deep and kind and thoughtful and smart and a good, loyal friend. He was more than just comic relief.
Zander's word choice for her, though, was... not... entirely what she thought it would be. Capable? She wasn't sure if she agreed with that realistically, but... she supposed he was doing that thing again, being encouraging. So even if she WASN'T capable, he was encouraging her that she could be capable. Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps.
Still, she gave him a warm smile and resisted the urge to reach over to hold his hand. No, they'd be dismissed soon and they could go--
Aaand they WERE dismissed. Rising to her feet, Soph slung her bag over her shoulder and did indeed now reach for Zander's hand to hold so they could leave together. "Thanks for the memories, professor-- err, Headmaster... King Botros." And for the good bonding time with her co-head student leader, bonding time that she usually got a whole lot of anyway willingly. Hehehe. "Have a nice day."

Hady could clearly see the new list that was compiled of all the words everyone had said about one another. It did appear to be much nicer then it's previous one so Headmaster Botros was certainly right about that.
There was just one thing she couldn't figure out and she glanced over at Benny. Graceful? Did he really think so? And just where had the older boy come up with this idea. It took her a full minute at least to realize it and then she smiled to herself. Yeah. That was right she had told him that she could in deed dance. So thinking about it now, graceful did make sense. Thanks Benny.
As the lesson was dismissed Hady grabbed her bag off the floor and slung it over her shoulder. "Nice lesson Headmaster Botros, have a nice day." And with that she was out the door and off to her dorm.

Janelle thought he was resilient? He liked the sound of that. He liked that.
Reading over the compilation of words they were all using now, he could see the difference getting to know somebody had made... cool.
Zeke packed away the rest of his things, curious about what the homework task would be for a lesson that was so very NOT Rune-like. Would it be more socialisation? Find a random, stalk them, interrogate them? He could live with that. With his bag packed, he hoisted it onto his shoulder and pushed his chair under his desk.
"Thanks for the lesson, Headmaster," he farewelled on his way out. Could all classes be casual like that every so often? Please? Weekly?

Zander's pink cheeks were still making a recovery from Sophie's response to the question. Aheeeeeeem. But still he listened to his classmates as they offered their own words for their own partners. Some words surprising, and others that seemed quite fitting. Hm. He did raise a brow at Yoongi's word choice, looking over to the Hufflepuff Prefect to watch her reaction.
But once that was all over, they were finally dismissed and Zander saw Sophie's hand outreached, so he extended his own to meet hers. "Yeah, thanks Professor." He smiled.
Especially thank you for letting Zander spend the class like he would've spent any other day. Hehe.
Could they not do Runes for the next lesson as well or?
