Desiree had arrived at the start of the class, confused about the joint lesson, but content to just wait and see where it led. There was a lot of history behind magical creatures anyway, and if there were going to be creatures they needed to be outside, so it made sense. It was such a nice day out she was feeling a little lazy, daydreaming a bit, simply enjoying the sun and the view..



of the lake. Which is what they were learning about apparently..? She stared at Professor Scabior for a moment still deciding what she thought about him, she didn't really think she liked him.. wasn't sure why though.. maybe it was just his class. History wasn't her thing.

She snapped out of it though and decided to answer the question, raising her hand, "Like people have said I'm sure they were partly thinking about looks when they put it in" it was very pretty, wait.. put it in? This was a man made lake? It seemed so natural.. "But there was also the practical part of it, it provided them with a fresh water supply, which is why most ancient civilizations were built by lakes and rivers. Like cities in Egypt were built along the Nile.." she continued, but wasn't done yet, this wasn't just a History lesson.. "They also used it to house magical creatures, maybe so students could study them in their natural habitat" it sounded like a good reason, maybe they would be doing that today. She'd never seen a merperson, or a giant squid.. not that she wanted to, not up close anyway.
