Which was probably why Professor Scabior did not look at ease as he stood, holding a quiet conversation with Professor Williamson. The Care of Magical Creatures Professor looked quite fine though, turning away from the conversation to flash a smile at each new student that arrived.
"Just gather around here, and take a seat." Scabior said loudly, pointing to the general grassy area. OOC: Class hasn't started yet, so feel free to join in! Just please, keep chatting to a minimum. Also, if you haven't already, please make sure to read the Care of Magical Creatures Rules AND the History of Magic Rules CLASS HAS STARTED! Do not post your character late. Doing so will result in loss of points. If you want to join just act as if your character was there the whole time!
It was so nice and bright outside! Ira happily skipped down to the grounds where the joint lesson was going to be held. Quite a few students had arrived but at least she wasn't the last! She greeted both the professors, "
Good Morning, professors!"

Ira really didn't understand how History of Magic and CoMC could be combined! The only reason she could think of that creature couldn't be brought into the classroom. But why was History of Magic outside?
So it was better if she just kept quite and let others answer. She listened to others giving answers and jotted down all the notes she could.
SPOILER!!: current question

"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?"
Our focus is on Hogwarts Lake? Ira thought. She loved the lake! Then surely this lesson was going to be interesting!
And as to why the founders had included a lake within Hogwarts? Ira's mind began churning out theories.. She raised her hand and answered, "
Professor, maybe the lake was included to beautify the place" which it most certainly did, "
and also to house many of the aquatic creatures." What other reasons could there be? Oh yeah! The most basic reason ofcourse! Ira continued, "
Also about 1000 years ago, there would have necessity of a water body nearby for use of water for our daily purposes. There wouldn't have been taps and pipes and all that system.."
Then she remembered this was a CoMC lesson as well. So she added, "
Also studying of aquatic creatures is necessary as part of CoMC" With that, she finished her answer and went back to listening others.
