Tuesday 9:00am to 9:45am
(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 walked into the classroom, a spring in his step as he busied himself around the classroom, getting it ready for the day. After he was satisfied, he then turned toward the board in the room and quickly wrote out the lesson as well as several lines. Finished, he turned toward the class and waited for the students to enter.

Professor Powell
Introduction to Younger Futhark Runes


"Welcome to your third year in Ancient Runes. Over the last two years, we have reviewed the more common forms of Runes. This year, we shall explore the Younger Futhark, so named because of the fact they were used during the eighth century and onward. At the end of the eighth century an unknown rune-master reformed the Elder Futhark having reduced it to sixteen runes. By the tenth century the new form of writing was accepted in the whole of Scandinavia. It is this set of runes that may be properly called Viking runes, since they were used by the Scandinavians during the Viking Age."

Grayson then pointed to the three lines of runes he had writen. "As you can see, there are three variations on these runes. They are called the Long Branch, the Short Twig, and the Staveless. Each of these developed during this time frame, and each has a distinctive way in writing them. Not all Scandinavian countries used the same rune sets, as you can see, and each were used for different reasons. For example, the Short Twig and Long Branch sets of runes were common in several countries for daily use, while the Staveless variety might have been used in code writing. Now, I want you to practice writing your names in these systems, since the more you practice, the more you will be able to recognize them and be able to apply them to what you are reading."

Location: Ancient Runes classroom
State: Teaching
OOC: Okay, might be a bit of a homework assignment, but an easy one. Just use this link to go to the site I use, and type out your name, select either Long Branch, Short Twig, or Staveless, and then select Convert. When that's done, just print screen your result, crop the image down, and then post it in class. That's it, and the translator is really fun to use! ^^

                                                Lexine walked into Study of Ancient Runes which was, no doubt, one of her favourite classes. She set her things down and began to ready herself for class. When Professor Powell started the lesson, Lexine made sure to write down notes quickly, but neatly. She'd probably go back over them and rewrite them if she found them too messy later... She listened closely as the professor gave them their assignment, just to practise writing in the different runes. Lexine nodded slightly, then started writing out her name in the different rune sets.

                                            Powell walked into the classroom, a spring in his step as he busied himself around the classroom, getting it ready for the day. After he was satisfied, he then turned toward the board in the room and quickly wrote out the lesson as well as several lines. Finished, he turned toward the class and waited for the students to enter.


                                            Professor Powell
                                            Introduction to Younger Futhark Runes


                                            "Welcome to your third year in Ancient Runes. Over the last two years, we have reviewed the more common forms of Runes. This year, we shall explore the Younger Futhark, so named because of the fact they were used during the eighth century and onward. At the end of the eighth century an unknown rune-master reformed the Elder Futhark having reduced it to sixteen runes. By the tenth century the new form of writing was accepted in the whole of Scandinavia. It is this set of runes that may be properly called Viking runes, since they were used by the Scandinavians during the Viking Age."

                                            Grayson then pointed to the three lines of runes he had writen. "As you can see, there are three variations on these runes. They are called the Long Branch, the Short Twig, and the Staveless. Each of these developed during this time frame, and each has a distinctive way in writing them. Not all Scandinavian countries used the same rune sets, as you can see, and each were used for different reasons. For example, the Short Twig and Long Branch sets of runes were common in several countries for daily use, while the Staveless variety might have been used in code writing. Now, I want you to practice writing your names in these systems, since the more you practice, the more you will be able to recognize them and be able to apply them to what you are reading."

Cathy sat down smiling for one of her favorite classes at Hogwarts and began taking notes right away as Professor Powell said they would be going into less known Runes this year. It was exciting. When he instructed them to practice writing their names in the various forms, Cathy was sure to write out her full name and use all three forms for the most through practice. Also it gave her more to work with in comparison which was interesting. Once she was done she set down her quill and looked first at her work and then through her book for comparison making sure each stroke was exactly right.

Thane walked into the history classroom for his first runes class of the year a little late but definitely before the door closed. He didn't really see the point of coming to class early just to have a staring match with the professor. Unlike a certain set of lion and badger he didn't see the appeal in the bearded man. Besides, he already an awkward guy to tease and throw into broom closet whenever he wanted...which he'd much rather be doing rather than being in this boring class. Dammit, why did he even pick Ancient Runes in the first place? Riigghhtt, Kalin told him he couldn't just take blow off classes...damn him. He'd probably hate the class more if he wasn't actually decent with runes. He took his seat with a bored expression on his face and nearly groaned seeing the new runes that they would have to learn, just in time for their OWL's too! With just a sigh he took out a piece of paper and a quill he stole from the common room and began to painstakingly write out his name in three different set of runes.

Thane put down his quill and observed his handwork with a small satisfying smirk. 'Not bad, not bad at all' he thought.

                                        Dakota walked into ancient runes after his defense class and took a seat at the front of the room. Learning a new language was interesting to the Ravenclaw and he worked hard on it. Looking over every symbol and learning every stroke. It was an intense thing but he didn’t mind doing it. When class started, Dakota was attentive like always. Taking notes about the rune time period and the different types there were, he realized it was like different dialects. Being left to write out his name in the three different rune types, the Ravenclaw went too it. Looking at the letters and what they corresponded to, Dakota got to work figuring out how to write his name. It took him a bit but he figured it out.
