The Lake.

Yep...certainly outside the box in way of class topics or at least no one professor had thought about using it too much. Sure Bentley had done a lesson out on the mystery boat out on the lake but Gideon didn't believe that quite counted.Trying to think of his own answer for the inclusion of the lake by the Founders he couldn't help but think Kurumi's was a good option...a way of including various ecosystems in the environment around the school. Finally he raised his hand to supply his own thoughts.

"Perhaps the founders included the lake for help in concealing the castle from Muggles," he answered before lowering his hand and continuing. " The protections do show Hogwarts as meerly rubble to those of non-magical bearing and most non-magical stone buildings would have been built around a water source seeing as muggles wouldn't have the magic to summon water to them to be used. So by including the lake, it made the Hogwarts 'ruins' look authentic."
