Kurumi had been looking forward to Care of Magical Creatures all summer, so she was more than a little disappointed when she had first seen the noticeboard and noted that it was going to be a JOINT lesson with Professor Scary Face. Still, she had decided recently that the man wasn't as bad as she had first thought him to be and that his HATRED for her certainly wasn't anything to keep her away from classes - especially her favorite one.

Kurumi thought for a moment before raising her hand. "Perhaps they chose to include a lake because not all of the wizarding world is on land. Part of the reason Hogwarts was created was to provide a safe haven for wizarding children, so I suppose that it is possible that they also wanted to create a safe place for other parts of the wizarding world as well. In the lake, magical beings like merpeople, the giant squid, and grindylows could be safe and protected."

Kurumi lowered her hand and took a glance around the area. This notion could also be applied to the Forbidden Forest come to think of it.
