[[OOC: Due to the fact that it's just been back-and-forth RPing and rather dull in Ancient Runes, I have taken the decision to merge all years into one for the time being, until such a point in time that I have enough students to promote de-merging. The same will happen after Winter Break - which is next week, I believe. This means all students will be studying essentially the same things... and it makes it more interesting. If there are any major objections, please PM me. We're going to go on as if everyone was always in the same class, so ignore it. I am sorry I've not been around - holidays have been nuts. Happy Yule!]] Zea stood in the middle of her classroom, once again having pushed all of the desks aside. As students file in, she instructs them to sit in a circle, and quickly read chapter six. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet"I want to get the boring stuff out of the way, so we can get to the fun! We're going to play a little game today to help us with the Phoenician alphabet." |

Though her friends didn't seem to have any objection, Isabelle looked back at Professor Winters as if she was insane.
"On the floor? Don't these classrooms usually come with chairs?"
Though she scoffed, she still followed her friends into the circle. Once she reached her spot, she pointed at the floor with her wand before she sat down.
"Scourgify."
"Mollis."
She sat down, looking satisfied with herself, and opened her book to skim through chapter six as quick as she could.

Arcturus plunked down and got out his book.
He looked askance at a Ravenclaw sixth year as she made a fuss about sitting on the floor.
"Sheesh, it isn't going to hurt you. It's actually healthy, did you know that?"

Isabelle rolled her eyes at the younger student, snapping back at him. "Not for your clothes it's not. Not that you'd know anything about taking care of your appearance... And I don't see how sitting on hard floor has anything to do with learning about ancient runes."
Isabelle buried her nose back in her book snobbishly. Her friends, Mary and Sera, both looked at her in shock, then gave Acturus an appologetic look.

"Well, Miss Wesker, if you feel that you are better than the rest of us, feel free to bring a chair over and sit on it. But some of the greatest peoples of the world sit on the floor. Also, I'd like to see you in my office later, if you're not too preoccupied with social engagements."
"Well, now that that's over with, please read that chapter, then we're going to have a discussion, then we're going to play a game."

Arcturus raised his eyebrows at the irritated sixth year. He bit back the urge to retort. Her friends, at least, didn't seem like a bad lot. In fact, he thought one of them might have been in a dance-off at the Halloween Ball.
He read the chapter they were instructed to read. It was fairly short, with information on the Phoenician alphabet. Pretty cool.

Isabelle gaped at the professor for a bit, looking as if she was trying to find a retort. She glanced back at both of her friends quickly, but all they could offer was a helpless shrug.
Now positively fuming, she shot a glare at Arcturus, and burried herself back in her book, speeding through it furiously and not really taking it in.
Her cushionning charm didn't feel so comfortable anymore.
