Demetri had just walked Antionette to her room, and say his goodbyes. Thanking him, Antionette thought about what to do in class today. She had small models of rune's scattered around the room, and knew that the class would probably know how to identify each and every one by the end of the year. Smiling to herself, Antionette practically skipped around the room, setting up round tables and magically placing table clothes on them. Proud with her work, Antionette sat at her desk and began doodling, thinking about Demetrius. :3

October and Evvie slipped into the class, they were very almost late. She looked up to see a very pretty teacher who gave a friendly smile as they entered the classroom, smiling back they sat down next to Andie, Luna and Illyanna at a table close to the front.
October looked round the room, it was light and airy, not at all what she expected for an Ancient Runes lesson, but it was a good different, October had alway found Ancient Runes extremely boring but perhaps this teacher would make it more interesting.

Evvie hummed a song as they made their way to their seats. She hoped this class would be fun, atleast it wasn't as dark as divination. Everything was so different here than it was back in her own village. Much more structured and in doors. Fairies preferred to be outdoors as much as possible.
But still, Evvie was glad that she was here at Hogwarts, she was able to meet new friends.
"I wonder what we'll be doing in here today," Evvie said, looking around the room.

October shrugged "I hope it'l be something interesting" she said quietly
"Anyway, I'm an animagus, thats how I turn into a fox" she whispered thinking of how utterly amazed Evvie had been in the courtyard, "the thing is it's illegal to be an animagus without the ministry of magic knowing about it and you have to be over age too" she mumered her voice bearly a whisper. Seeing a quizzical look on Evvie's face. October opened her mouth to explain about why she had made herself an animagus, it was a stupid reason when she thought about it now, sort of immature but before she had chance the teacher had silenced the class and was introducing herself.

When everyone filed into the room, Antionette smiled at each and everyone one of them. "Hello Class!" She smiled, and introduced herself. "My name is Miss Antionette, and I am your new Ancient Runes teacher." She announced, and pointed to the runes in front of her. They were all exact replicas, and each pair of 4 students had a different ruin. "Today, each of you will be visiting these ruins in front of us." She smiled, and walked infront of her own ruin model. There was plenty of them around the room, and she was satisfied with her work. "When you use this spell," She performed the shrinking spell, on a doll in front of her, and it shrunk to be the size of an ant. "You will all shrink, and you are all free to explore your ruins in front of you. These are incredibly accurate models, and as you can see, the greenery and forests surrounding them are there as well. There are people, and animals in these models as well, so you will not be alone, but you are safe." She said, and smiled reasurringly at them.

Andie had walked into ancient runes, a class she had never liked. She had to leave Draco's side, unfortunately, but love would have to wait. Education was top priority. Love needed to take a back seat.
Andie took a quick seat, and waited for the lesson to begin. Ancient runes, pff. Does anyone like this class? Andie noticed that there was a new teacher. Blond. This would be an interesting year.

Evvie was amazed that she'd have to be even smaller than her normal size to fit into the models. Still she was curious as to exactly how much smaller she'd have to be so she went with October to pick their models.. once she had hers chosen, she shrunk to her original size.. she was just a little bit too big.
"Wow, You have to be REALLY short for this!" she said happily. She flew over to October and sat on her shoulder.
"We're neighbors!" She said happily.
She then went back to her own model and said the shrinking spell.

October picked up a model and placed it on the table in front of her, she peered into it wondering how on earth she could shrink down to that size. She noticed Evvie on her shoulder and laughed when she said they were going to be neighbors, October placed the fairy Evvie in her hand and put her back on the table it was really strange seeing her friend that small "good luck" she said to the fairy smiling. She then turned back to her own model "here goes nothing" she murmured and cast the shrinking spell on herself. When October opened her eyes she appeared to be in a wooded area with blue bells covering the ground, if it wasn't for the sound of other students casting their own shrinking spells and the classroom above her she would have thought that this really was a forest. Taking a few wary steps forward she saw a glimpse of a building covered in moss with symbols carved into it between two trees, suddenly she heard a cracking noise behind her, she whipped round but it was only a deer, she sighed in relief. She skipped happily trough the undergrowth, ducking and weaving between trees humming happily to herself until she came to the edge of the trees, turning back to marvel at the pretty little forest she tripped over a tree root and landed sprawled on the ground, as she picked herself up she felt someone grab her arm and hoist her up right. Looking up she she saw a man wearing emerald green robes watching her curiously, "thanks!" October said "could you show me around? she asked brightly, while brushing twigs off herself, but the man didn't reply. Maybe he didn't speak English she thought. But it seemed the man had understood because he walked towards the building, looking over his shoulder to check October was following.

Andie performed the shrinking spell and entered her ruin. It was a huge, victorian-style mansion. I'm guessing Buckingham Palace, Andie thought, admiring the greenery outside. There were flowers everywhere of all kinds. There were roses, daffodils, lilacs, and more flowers that Andie guessed were rare because she couldn't name them, let alone recognize them.
Then there was the mansion. It was massive and white with a black shingle roof. It had a few balconies that extended from the windows of the rooms on the second floor. It was absolutely amazing. It was in pristine shape, like it had just been built.
Andie decided that it was time to venture inside the amazing historic mansion. As soon as Andie stepped inside the mansion, she was instantly overwhelmed. The size of the mansion from the outside was nothing compared to the inside! Andie didn't know where to begin. "Wow," she said in a breathless whisper. The floors were beautiful oak, or perhaps cherry, since they were a darker wood stain. The stairs were absolutely of fairy tale proportions. Andie took a few steps, not knowing what to find. She entered the first door on her left, which must have been a parlor. It had a fireplace, two couches, a couple of chairs, and a table, each decorated in the victorian style of a wealthy person. "Amazing," Andie commented. On the table was a glass container filled with an amber liquid. Andie took a smell. Brandy, she concluded from the strong smell.

Though Evvie was even smaller than her usual fairy size, she still had her wings, and so she flew into her own model. There was a huge tower that looked rather dark and sinister. Just the sight of it gave Evvie the chills. She decided to explore it even though she was getting alittle nervous.
As she got closer to the tower, her nose began to tickle. Once she arrived inside the tower, she felt a sneeze coming on. She tried to hold it in, but suddenly it came out. The sneeze was so big that it caused her to fly backwards and hit the tower with so much force that it knocked her model to the floor of the classroom.
The collision with the floor caused Evvie's model to break. Evvie laid on the floor in the midst of the ruins and rubbed her head. She let out a giggle, "Guess I picked one that was alittle too dusty," she said with a shrug.

October had followed the man, he signalled that she should look up then disappeared behind a large wooden door. October looked up, above the door frame were more symbols, she traced them with her finger, they were Anglo Saxon. Which meant the building she was standing in must have been biult then, October reached into her robes and got out her notes on reading the symbols in the ruins, if her notes were right then these symbols meant magical power, the force of choas and evil, tempation and a warning. Wondering what this could be about she pushed open the door and stepped into the room, blinking as her eyes adjusted to the light she realised that she was in a high ceilinged room with long slits for windows, she walked cautiously across the room her foot steps echoing loudly across the room she winced wishing she could be quieter, this room was really giving her the creeps. At the end of the room was a steep spiral staircase October climbed it quickly, at the top there were two chambers, the first of which had tapestrys covering most of the walls with pictures of Vikings and other symbols October didn't recognise.

Hannah picked up a model and sat down at a table with Ernie Macmillan, Susan Bones and Justin Finch-Fletchly. "There's only two left, Ernie you can share with me" she said turning to her friend, Ernie nodded in approval, Hannah felt relieved, she didn't fancy looking around some spooky old ruin by herself, she would probably get lost knowing her luck. After the two of them had cast their shrinking spells and explored the gothic cathedral, they sat beneath a a birch tree watching a dove flutter between the gargoyles, waiting for some sign to return themselves to their normal size. Sure enough Miss Antoinette's voice boomed from above them making Hannah jump. "Okay everyone I hope you've all had fun exploring, cast the Engorgio charm to get back to normal size then put your model on my desk" Miss Antoinette's voice echoed across the classroom. "Engogsio!" Hannah called, pointing her wand at herself, within a second she was back to her normal size but to her horror she kept getting bigger, "ohhh help!" she squealed in panic, her eyes filling with tears, the whole class had now turned to stare at her as she grew uncontrolably, Hannah's head was already touching the ceiling as Miss Antoinette hurried forward casting a spell which stopped Hannah from putting a hole through the ceiling.

After Andie had finished in the Parlor of her mansion model, she looked in several other rooms. One was a dining hall, one was a study, and one was a breakfast nook that was connected to a kitchen. "Huh," Andie said in wonderment.
After taking a moment to look at the paintings in the hall, Andie headed upstairs. What she found up there were several bedrooms and a few bathrooms. The bedrooms each had their own style, which, Andie figured, signified that the people occupying the rooms had completely different personalities. One had a royal blue theme, one a deep purple, another a bright red, and the fourth a forest green. Andie assumed that these were the inhabitants favorite colors. Andie looked breifly at the bathrooms and noticed that each bathroom corresponded with one of the four bedrooms. "Amazing," Andie said with a chuckle. "Even people back then used color coordination."
Andie looked at the time and figured that class may be over soon. "Well, I suppose it's time I leave here," Andie said, gingerly walking down the stairs doing her best not to trip. Andie looked at the front hall once more before stepping out, taking in the outside, turning around and looking at the mansion. "C'est magnifique," she said. (translation: It is magnificent) She stepped out of the ruins and performed the spell to put her back to normal size.

Penelope walked into Ancient Runes and noted that only a few other students were in the class. Scattered around the front of the class were a bunch of small models. Ancient Runes was not one of Pen's favorite or best classes and so she was alittle worried.
She found a seat toward the back of the room, but noticed that Kyle was sitting nearby. She offered a smile when he looked at her. However, he didn't return the smile. Instead he turned his head.

Kain followed Penelope, and sat at the table behind her, leaving him to sit in his usual, back of the classroom. He was right, the new teacher was beautiful, but he had to remember that this was class, and he couldn't not pay attention due to the fact that Penelope, and Miss Antionette were in the room. It would just be a shame, really. His grades would drop, due to two girls. Stupid.
Kain unpacked his stuff, and threw his back leisurely on the ground, and looked at the model in front of him. It was an old castle, no doubt it looked haunted, but something about it was familiar. Very Familiar.
Kain brushed it off, and saw Draco come into the room. Apparently, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle and him had all just given a first year some trouble in the corridors. Rolling his grey eyes, Kain turned his attention back to Penelope, who was now smiling at Kyle.
