Runes Lesson Two - All Years

Yes! First class of the day and Bennet was the first one, again. He was proud of that small accomplishment, especially since it was the class with Headmaster Jameson as professor. As he walked in through the doors, he found the professor and his grin instantly grew bigger. Bennet was smiling from ear to ear now. "Good morning professor!" Bennett took his seat at the front. "How was the ball? Did you attend?" he asked as he took out his notes from last class, half paying attention in case the Headmaster replied and half looking through his notes to do some last minute reviewing.

Bennett had opted to stay away from the ball and such activities, as they were silly and more or less a waste of time. Instead, he had stayed up playing wizard chess with some of the Ravemclaes who felt the same way he did about social gatherings. But, of course the Headmaster had attended....he was the Headmaster! Bennett felt stupid only for a moment, as his attention was brought back to the class. More specifically, the board.

Cursebreaking?! Yes! Bennett had that career down as one of his possible ones, the secret list he carried in his head as if his father found out Bennett didn't feel like going into Quidditch it would raise hell in their household. One thing not many people knew about Bennett was that his entire life had already been planned out by his parents. His mother had planned the school and money-saving parts, while his father had made sure to teach Bennett all about Quidditch so that one day Bennett could get signed into a famous team and play the sport his father loved so much.

In other words, Bennett was more than excited for this lesson.

Bella had discovered she liked Runes more than she was going to admit, so she hoped this class would be interesting as well. Despite how early it was, and her brain was technically only functioning halfway, she made her way to the classroom. She liked that the Headmaster was giving it a try at teaching, it was something new to her. As she arrived, she recognized only one more person in the room aside from the Headmaster: a boy in Ivan's year by the name of Bennett, a Hufflepuff. Of course she had met him before, but she tried to stay away from her brother's life as she knew it embarrassed him.

Sitting near the boy, but in a spot all to her own, she greeted the two with a smile before taking her seat near the middle row. The board informed her they would be learning about cursebreaking and her blue eyed instantly lit up. This was a familiar topic because her steo-sister, Skylar, had briefly studied cursebreaking before changing her major due to the university's terrible cursebreakibg program. Maybe this class would be a lot easier than the last.

Layla had been quite fond of her first Runes lesson which shocked her. Runes seemed like such a boring subject so when she found it on her timetable, she was disheartened. However, after carving the fore symbol into the wooden bowl last lesson and then creating fire from it, she decided she definitely come to love this subject. She had awoken that morning before her alarm even went off in order to make it to Runes on time. She left her hair down, allowing it to flow gently down her back, and with her robes gliding around her, she was off to class.

She bounced down the hall and when she reached the classroom, she was ecstatic to see that she was fairly early, only a few other students had gotten there before her. "Goodmorning Headmaster," she gave him a warm smile and a nod of her head before she turned and made her way to a seat towards the front of the room. Last class, she had snuck in, but now that the subject held her attention, she decided to sit as close as she could to the board.

As she sat, she looked to the board. Cursebreaking. She didn't remember hearing anything about that, but it certainly grasped her interest. She couldn't wait for class to begin.

Whatever Ancient Runes was, it sounded fun. Aristotle figured he could take as many classes as possible to show his family what he had learned, to let them know he was doing great at school. A couple students were already in their spots, ready for class to begin. Some of them grinned like this was their favorite class, and maybe it was, which made Aristotle hope that his could also be his favorite class.

He took a seat by the door, looking around at the other students before hisbeyes settled on the professor. It was the Headmaster of the shool, Ari knew that much. Whether he was a good professor or not, he wasn't sure but by the look on the faces of the students he could tell the man was doing something right. Aristotle took out his book, his folder with notes from the past lesson he'd missed, and something to write with.

Though Runes wasn't what Alberi expected it to be, he actually liked it. Though he surely wasn't a good carver, he still thought he would do well in this. It was much more interesting from the other subjects, at least for him. And he wasn't thinking this just because the head master thought it. Even though it is something he would do. But this time he really liked this subject and wished to learn more. Perhaps he'd take some books on the same subject...

Alberi walked to the class, still looking to the floor. He still couldn't get the attacking hippogriff out of his head. Today he made sure to not get stuck in any stairs. And at least he knew how to exit from one now. The boy entered in the room. "Greeting, professor." he said and sat at the front. Looking up to the board, he tried to remember what he read about curse-breaking. Not much... He didn't think he'd like this subject so much. But now he'll try harder for it.

Naomi dragged her feet on the way to Ancient Runes, making it easy for Finley to beat her through the door. She gave a small smile and shook her head fondly at his enthusiasm; she knew how much it meant to Finley that he could succeed in this class.

However, that didn't stop Naomi from being disgruntled that she preformed spectacularly poorly last lesson. And in the Headmaster's class no less! She was used to things coming to her with relative ease, though she was by no means perfect at her other subjects. As a result, she had studied several books on Ancient Runes besides their textbook before class and knew quite a bit on cursebreaking, their apparent topic for the day's class.

Sliding into the desk in the back beside Finley, she was happy to see that he still took her nerves around the Headmaster in stride. Maybe that was why she had had such a problem last class? She hoped that was the case and that her extra preparation would allow her to do much better this time around.
