"Most of your answers have to do with...creatures not blending well in classrooms...which, I can't deny. Though, that isn't exactly why we are outside today."

"Today we aren't studying one specific creature or one moment in history. Our focus today is on-" Scabior jabbed his thumb behind him. "The Hogwarts lake." Yes. The lake. "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?"

Quentin hesitantly raised her hand, she had never been good at speaking in front of people but she'd better get involved, "I think there are quite a few reasons to have a lake in school grounds. Like, recreational or leisurely activities. Maybe it's here to make the school more appealing to students, it is a nice place to come relax and hang out with friends. Some find it easier to study outside as well. Then there's the educational side of things, many magical and non-magical creatures live under, or near water."

She paused and remembered that this was History of Magic too, "1000 years ago there was often the fear of attack, so I suppose with the mountains behind the castle and the lake in front it would have been pretty hard for muggles or magic folk to form a surprise attack- meaning the students would be safer."
