"Obviously we are all familiar with the lake, and if you are not, well, it's right there get familiar with it- perhaps even introduce yourself to it." But not NOW because then you would be talking over him. "The lake has been a part of Hogwarts since the castle was created 1,000 years ago. Now why do you think, the founders included a lake within Hogwarts? And how do you guys think it has been used in the past?"
August had been listening to Professor Scabior, a smirk on his lips the whole time. He was pretty sure they could all make a run for it and he would lose all of the students just like he had his son in Diagon Alley....and then maybe Professor Schrimer could come down and yell at him again. He would have to talk to the man after class and...thank him for the Galleons and letting him hang out with Kyroh.
Professor Williamson seemed to be enjoying allowing Professor Scabior to teach the lesson, August watched him with interest as he stood off to the side.
Now they were discussing the Hogwarts Lake. The Gryffindor didn't know that the lake was created by the Hogwarts Founders, it looked pretty natural to him--he was no lake expert though.
"Well perhaps the Founders created it as a sort of extra protection from outsiders until full ground protection by spells and charms was intact? Or perhaps just for looks. Many buildings are made to over look waterfalls, lakes or other things of the sort." he nodded at the History of Magic Professor. He paused for a minute to think about the second question.
"Well I heard that a few terms ago, the Merpeople in there used the Lake to flood the castle and then tried to take it over." Yeah super scary. He guessed that was a feature...he didn't know.
