"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?"

This lesson was the one that Kendra had been excited for since stepping into the grounds of Hogwarts that first time. Although, to be honest, she wasn't looking forward to the aspect of History of Magic, she thought it may be interesting how they had tied the two subjects together, which, at least Kendra's mind, had no matching qualities at all. Of course, she could be wrong.

The lake. The seeingly endless expanse of water that Kendra had crossed on the boat with all the other first years on that evening. It seemed like it had no end, the dark depths of water could swallow you whole if you let them. Yet, these depths were entrancing, letting the imagination run wild of what could lie beneath such leagues.

But why had the founders had included it? Now, she had to think about this. Her mind sifted through the books she had read whilst she had been here, the same as any other ravenclaw most likely. She put her hand up slowly, still thinking, before answering. 'As well as creating an impressive view to the school for first years and other people travelling by boat, is it also a way of defense?' She asked. 'Mainly due to the fact that it is often more difficult to travel through a large expanse of water than through land. Due to the inhabitants of the lake and their alliances with the castle and it's inhabitants, would they also be another method of defense. Like the giant squid? Or the merpeople? They surely must have a defensive side. Like any animal.' She finished, feeling glad she had spoke. Even if it was wrong.
