"To clear somethings up, the founders did not make the lake." He looked toward a few first years who were asking. "I said they included it. Meaning, that when they set out to find a place to build Hogwarts they, decided early on to build the castle in an area that included a lake."
He nodded. Hopefully they understood now. "So really, your guesses are as good as mine. Could have been for the creatures to study in classes, or for the protection of the students. What is know about the main inclusion of the lake is that the founders did find it important to somehow be supplied to a fresh source of water, and this is why like a handful of you mentioned." He nodded at those people. "All Hogwarts plumping runs through the lake." He paused. "But don't worry, there are charms, set upon the lake to make sure that all the water in it, and all the water that we obtain is clean."
"Over the years the lake has been used for much more than just a source in which the plumbing runs through. It has been used for transportation, recreational, educational purposes and even that one time during the Triwizard Tournament as a task." He nodded. You guys did not have to write any of this down. But you had to REMEMBER. It was easy enough.
"The lake has a general name associated with it, do any one know what this is? For those of you who know what the name is it, any guesses as to why it was giving this name?" They didn't have to answer both questions, only one. Whatever they wanted really.
Desiree smiled as the Professor nodded at her answer, she had been right! A small amount of pride welled up in her over the fact, and she decided that maybeee he wasn't that bad. She tried to take in all the rest of the information he said, commit it to memory, since they didn't have paper (or anything to write on) not even bothering to answer the question about the Black Lake. He probably didn't appreciate twenty of the same answers anyway..

"Most of these rumours have actually been proven to be true." So, you know. The scary stuff that hid in the lake, could actually be true.
Just a liittle bit more history to go through. Scabior cleared his through before he began talking once more. "Now so far we've been talking about the lake and what's in it." All that good stuff. "But important events have also taken place by and around the lake. Two major events in particular. Does anyone know of these events? And please, only say one per person." And he wasn't talking about little things like campfires either.
Caverns? Kingdoms? Treasures? Her eyes widened, she had no idea that all those things could be hidden down there. But with a quick glance at the dark murky mass of water, she realized that
anything could be down there. She decided to take swimming in the lake off of her things to do list. You know just to be safe.
Her thoughts were interrupted as they moved onto the next question, historical events around the lake.. hmm. everyone had already said the Triwizard Tournament, and Dumbledore's funeral.. Dumbledore! An idea popped into her head and she quickly raised her hand
"I'm not sure if this is considered an "event" exactly.. " but it
was important
"When Voldemort broke through Dumbledore's grave and took the elder wand, it happened right out by the lake." since that's where he was buried and all, the only Hogwarts professor to be buried on the grounds.. if she had heard her sister correctly. It seemed like a pretty big event to her.
Voldemort with the
Elder Wand.
