The Ancient Runes Classroom
Walking through the doors and into the classroom, any previous occupant would recognize the change that the place has undergone since last term. One thing that was immediately recognizable was the extreme lack of light in the room. The curtains, made of heavy black velvet, were drawn over the large windows and successfully blocked the flood of morning to afternoon sunlight and doused the room in darkness save for a number of burning candles scattered about the room on any available surface. Some seemed new, whilst others were left with only thirty minutes worth of wick left, if lucky.
The stone walls were adorn with pictures of Norse gods and runic literature. Old Anglo-Saxon kings peered down from their places on the walls at the patrons of the room, remembering faces. The tables were pushed back along the fair wall, wooden chairs stacked neatly at their sides to make room for the display of deep, red velvet cushions scattered before a larger royal purple cushion near the center of the room. One could assume this is where the teacher sat, though, if they knew her, they would know she would hardly be sitting at all, but walking among them, ruffling hair and smacking the back of heads when need be.
Odd furniture that looked to belong to any eastern and northern European country decorated the room space, reminding one of the odd pieces that adorn Miss Ivy's hair. Some of these items held magical properties while most were just for aesthetic and decorative purposes.
