Study of Ancient Runes
Professor Grayson Powell
Friday 11:00am to 11:45
(Updated on Mondays)
Grayson Powell had his feet propped up on his desk as he was seated reading yet another book. Next to his desk was a globe the size of a stove, while a stone tablet covered with hieroglyphics sat on the other side. A new addition included a peculiar stone engraved with numerous runes. A list of rules and expectations was listed on the chalkboard behind him, and two bookcases sat on either side of it brimming with books. He seemed totally engrossed with what he was reading, and didn't seem to notice any students filing in.

 Now where did I put that wand?Powell looked around the room as he prepared it for his first class in Ancient Runes. Honestly, he was pretty excited. He loved history, and this class was just an extension of it. Besides, this was probably the one class he could showcase his love for ancient scripts and not me looked at as odd. Grinning, he wrote on the board a message and settled back to wait and see what came through the door."Welcome class to your first lesson in the study of Ancient Runes. If you don't know who I am by this point, you have obviously not been paying attention in History of Magic. Before we begin this lesson, may I advise you that there will not be any spells in class, so please put your wands away." He waited for the class to comply before launching into his, well, so-called lecture. It wasn't so much a lecture in his opinion as it was just having fun with the class. "Now class, I would like you to direct your attention to the board for a few moments. Notice something odd about it? I can tell you that each line says exactly the same thing. Ten points to whoever can figure out what it says first, and we shall move on with our lesson."----------------------------------

  ▶ Despite the lies that you're making, your love is mine for the taking ◀
▶ My love is just waiting to turn your tears to roses ◀╒═════════════════════════════╕cнᴀɴcᴇ entered the classroom, surprised to find his History of Magic professor at the front of the room. So he taught this class too? Interesting. Taking his seat, the Ravenclaw wondered who else would be in class with him. After all, Ancient Runes? Who would sign up for that class other than someone ready and willing to work hard. Glancing to the board, then to Professor Powell, Chance paused, thinking for a few minutes. "Odd? You mean besides the fact that it's not written in English? Well, if I had to guess, I would say it says your name, Professor. I mean, some of those characters look like regular letters. I can see a sort of R, and maybe an S. And the fact that your name isn't written anywhere else on the board. I don't know what your first name is, so I could be wrong. In fact, if I was right, I'd be surprised, sir." Sitting back in his chair, Chance hoped he wouldn't be alone in this class. That would just be awkward, and not only for him. ╘═════════════════════════════╛▶ No, you'll never be alone ◀
▶ When darkness comes you know I'm never far ◀
▶ Hear the whispers in the dark ◀

She giggled quietly and plopped down int he seat next to him, leaning over and gently kissing his cheek, before returning her attention to the professor. She blinked at the words written on the board and shrugged. Chance's answer seemed pretty smart though, so she nodded her head in agreement.OOC...☩Let's leave no words ยภรק๏кєภ, and save яεģяετṡ for the вяøќεи.☩

Manage me, I'm a mess
Turn a page, I'm a book
Half unread
I just wanna be laughed at, laughed with Just because I wanna feel weightless
And that should be enough
But I'm stuck in this stupid rut
Waiting on a second hand pick me up
Uriel Adair Scott - Muggleborn - Third Year - Hufflepuff - [feeling: befuddled] [thinking:...] [with: Third Years] [at: Study of Ancient Runes] Uriel stared blankly at the board after sitting down. He had absolutely no clue. Each line might be three words, but what was one word in English could be two words in runes. He didn't know, so he said nothing, just copied down each line. I don't wanna dream anymore. I'm over, getting older
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching While the minutes pass and I go nowhere
And this is my reaction to everything I fear
'Cause I've been going crazy
I don't want to waste another minute here

  ◖ I woke up it was 7. I waited till 11, just to figure out that no one would call. ◗
◖ I think I've got a lot of friends but I don't hear from them. What's another night all alone? ◗
◖ When you're spending everyday on your own... And here it goes, ◗Hunter looked at the bored his one eye studying the ruins. He could only really make out the first line then it went down hill from there and the last one he had no idea what they could be. Hunter tried to see this as a puzzle. He got the first word as 'Profesor Grajson Pouel' Then the letters in the second line 'Br f r r in B unl', the third 'r f r r i u l', the forth 'pe f m r r n p uel' He blinked his one eye as he figured it out "They all say Professor Grayson Prowell in different runes."
◖ I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare. I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair.
◖ Nobody cares, cause I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me tonight. What the f*ck is wrong with me? Don't fit in with anybody. How did this happen to me? ◗
Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep, and every night is the worst night ever. ◗

xxxxxLindsay may not have seen history as being overly interesting, but he did ancient stuff to be interesting. He walked into the classroom and took his seat. The board seemed so intense. What was all of that? Lindsay had never seen anything like that before. He study it for a bit, trying to figure out what the professor had written on it. The man said that it was the same words on each line. That made it a bit easier. He only had to figure out one line to figure out the rest. But he still had to figure out a line.

spaceEcho was in an exceptionally good mood as he entered the classroom for Ancient Runes. Professor Powell was his favorite teacher, after all, and now he had him for two lessons. His sister thought he was weird for liking the guy, but she hated history and thought he was weird in general, so there was that. He took a seat towards the front of the classroom and took out his things, leaving his wand in its place up his sleeve, figuring it wouldn't be needed. When the professor 'introduced' himself, Echo was unable to keep a small chuckle from emerging. He copied down the runes on the board, with space between each symbol and underneath it for him to cross-reference them with the information in his textbook. If each line said the same thing, and the bottom one's form didn't match the others, they probably were all different forms of runic languages. But, he only had to figure out two lines, and check it by one more, to know what it said. A couple of the lines had similar symbols, too, the first two 'letters' of the first and fourth lines being the same... after a moment, he thought he had it figured out, and raised his hand. "Isn't it your name? Professor Grayson Powell?" He was almost certain he had that right... the first line had easily been the easiest to translate, but the letters of the ones below matched closely enough. Or, he hoped they did.

Waking up in a world surrounded by flames...
Where everything I liked is about to fade...
How could you be the one, if you're not the same?
If in the hands of gods, you have lost your way? How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine-
I will never fall down!
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights...
How ever hard I pray to remake you mine-
I will never fall down! How ever hard I pray: Happy
To remake you mine: ...
I will never fall down: Third Years
No matter what it takes: Ancient Runes E L S B E T H | L Y N W E N | V A S S B L O O D T R A I T O R | H U F F L E P U F F | T H I R D Y E A R  Elsie was sometimes bored in History of Magic, but no by the material so much as just the environment of the class, which could be a bit stifling. She hoped this would be more lively. She sat next to Echo, and nodded her agreement silently of his guess. She was guessing the same thing. She went back to copying down all the runes, trying to be careful to get all the markings right.I'LL TRY TO SAVE THE GHOST LIGHTS... No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights...
Waking up in the fog, the dust and the pain...
And of the sunny days, no traces remain...
How could you be the one, if you sail away? Without you I can't stand the sound of the rain!
How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine-
I will never fall down!
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights...
