Lexine walked into class with her Runes book tight to her chest. Before class even started, she had been going over material trying to figure out what all she was going to be learning this year. It was the last class of her day, and she was completely beat, but willing to try and understand whatever they'd be learning today. Sitting down quietly, she pushed her hair from her face and waited for class to begin.
Lexine wasn't surprised that Professor Powell was the Ancient Runes professor, so it didn't startle her when she realised he was at the front of the room. What did confuse her, however, was whatever was written on the board, however she'd only looked for a few seconds before her attention was drawn to Professor Powell. They were to figure out what was written on the board. Lexine looked back, trying to piece together whatever was written there. Some characters did look familiar, however she couldn't get all of them. Once she was able to decipher some of them and even just figure out some from what they looked like, Lexine realised what it said. "Um...Professor, it says your name, doesn't it? Professor Grayson Powell?" She asked quietly, looking up at him from her place in the front of the room.
Location: Study of Ancient Runes : Friday (11:00am to 11:45am)
Jasper took a seat in Ancient Runes wondering what he would learn over the course of the year. Sure he looked at the lesson plan and everything but didn’t really know just yet. He knew before walking in that there wouldn't be any spells or anything so it didn't upset him about that. Then again Jasper wasn't one of those kids that wanted to do magic every chance he got. Looking to the board Jasper looked over the symbols and remembered doing a bit of reading on them before school started. Hearing Lexine speak up first he smiled. She total had this and he couldn't be happier for her. If he had of been faster maybe he could have gotten those points instead.
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 be looked at as odd. Grinning, he wrote on the board a message and settled back to wait and see what came through the door.
Professor Powell
"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."

Dylan Burgamy Ravenclaw │ Third Year │ 13 Years Old │ Single │ Chaser
Dylan entered into his Study of Ancient Runes class, a bit skeptical about how it would turn out. After all, he had never even heard of anything like it, never mind what "runes" were. He sat down, putting his wand into his robe pocket as instructed, and looked up to the front of the room. Well, it did look ancient alright. There was no way he could figure out what it said though. He kept silent, eyes scrunching up to look at it more closely. He could make out what looked to be like letters, but still, it was impossible for him to tell what exactly it said.

spaceElliott frowned somewhat when he entered the classroom, realizing that Professor Powell was standing at the front. At first he thought that perhaps he was in the wrong place, but then he spotted Dylan and figured that the History of Magic professor must teach this class, as well. He had no problem with that; he quite liked Professor Powell. The man was very well-informed on his subject, and pleasant enough. Elliott took a seat beside his housemate, thinking that he'd had the other Ravenclaw in almost all of his lessons, and wondering if that was odd. He'd taken quite a few electives, after all. Well, they were in Ravenclaw for a reason, he figured. The third year chuckled somewhat when Professor Powell told them to put their wands away, having never taken his out in the first place, for obvious reasons. It was highly unlikely that he would've needed it in this particular class, after all. He barely had to look at the board to figure out what the text read; like everything else, he'd already studied the subject extensively in preparation for the class. He didn't recognize each line, or even each character on the ones he did, but he could read enough of it to know what they said. He raised his hand."Each line is your name, Professor Grayson Powell, written out in various runic languages,"he answered easily, lowering his hand and not bothering to elaborate further. It was unnecessary, after all, and he was at least making an effort not to be such a know-it-all.
I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky Though I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya?
❝Timothy was excited for Ancient Runes partly because of actually working with runes and their slight correlation to cursebreaking and also because Professor Powell was also teaching this class. Despite other's protests (read Benjamin) he didn't find History boring at all and rather liked the way the professor taught it. So suffice to say he was rather anxious to see how he would teach this class as well. He spotted his two housemates already there and took a seat besides Elliot as he had for the past few classes giving the other boy a small grin before pulling out his materials. After the professor was done writing on the board he began speaking to them telling them that their wands wouldn't be needed (he suspected that they wouldn't be) and asked what was odd about what he had written. Some of the runes were some he didn't recognize at all so he was a bit confused before he looked at the few he did know and made a small "o" with his mouth as he finally got it. It did help that right as he got it Elliot spoke up and answered the question making it easier to see the correlation. He gave him a small thumbs up in congratulations before focusing back up front.❞

Grayson nodded to Elliot before pointing them out."Very good Mister Holt. Yes, these happen to be my name, written in each runic alphabet. Ten points to Ravenclaw, for that observation. As you can probably see, some of the runes look similar to their Latin counterparts, making identifying them easier. Pay attention to them, because they will be the runes you pick up the easiest."He then looked over the class and nodded to each."Now, I hate to do this, but all of you do have homework. Please read the introductions to each runic alphabet so that we may discuss them next class. Thankfully, that's about all, so you are dismissed."

Maisie walked into Ancient Runes not really knowing how to feel about the class. She really just thought it looked interesting, but whether or not she was really going to enjoy it was questionable; she didn't really pay much attention in history, and it seemed that Professor Powell was their professor. He'd probably caught Maisie nodding off in a class or two, and deliberately paying near zero attention half the time, which was...well...he knew what kind of student she was. Of course, that didn't mean she ever did poorly in his class, she usually did pretty well. And to do well in Ancient Runes, you most likely had to learn history; this time around, Maisie didn't have Dmitri to study with her and help her along... Either way, Maisie took her seat and listened closely, something probably not all that common while in Professor Powell's class for Maisie. She stared at the runes on the board for a moment before moving her eye over to Professor Powell whom was looking at the class expectantly. Maisie just averted her eyes, flipping through the first few pages of their text book. She wasn't sure she was going to find the answer, but at least she could attempt it, right? Or, at least look like she was doing something...
Dakota walked into his first class on a Friday morning. Entering the class he noticed that Professor Powell taught the class and that Maisie was there. Slipping into the seat next to her he smiled. "Morning Maisie." he said glad to have a friend in the class. Of course the chances of him having friends were pretty high since he had quite a few.
Looking to the front once class started, Dakota listened carefully. Staring at the board he looked carefully at it. Slowly he raised his hand as he flipped to a page in the texted that he saw earlier. "It looks like the first word might say Professor and if that's the case I believe it's your name, Professor Grayson Powell. They're just written in the different forms." he replied thinking he got it right. At least he was pretty sure.

My God, are we gonna be like our parents? Not me, not ever, you can keep deceiving yourself. It's unavoidable, it just happens. When you grow up, your heart dies. Walking out into the dark, into the dark... Going on a different path led by a beating heart... All the people of the town lash their eyes to the ground. Forget matters to the heart; the night is all you have; You ran into the night from all you had.
Vander sank into a seat near the back, trying to pretend he wasn't as interested in the class as he so obviously was. History of Magic was one of his best classes, and he knew it. He was half ashamed, half proud he'd always done so well in a class taught by a man who was definitely not pureblooded. He rolled his eyes. Of course it the professor's name. Too obvious.

Selina was one of the first to arrive at her Ancient Runes class, not far behind Professor Powell himself. Though she didn't necessarily care for him as her history teacher, she chose to compartmentalize this in regards to this class. There was less of a chance of contentious debates here, not when the whole point of the exercise was learning a whole new language. She was willing to have an open mind about him in regards to his being a language teacher, and hoped he would give her a similar chance.
Once class started, Selina started staring intently at the board, studying the lines of characters, and spotting similarities among them. Finally she raised her hand, and offered, "I believe the lines read 'Professor Grayson Powell, sir. Some of the letters seem to correspond to their English or Latin equivalents."
