He beamed and turned back to the class, adjusting the daisies over his left ear before clasping his hands loosely behind his back. "Now then, this IS also Care of Magical Creatures class, as Mr. Henry has been so kind as to remind us. Professor Scabior has also graciously reminded us all of the historical significance of the Black Lake, but what about its environmental influence? What sort of magical and mundane creature inhabitants might we find living and thriving off the lake?"
Other than their friendly Giant Squid, of course.
Oh my Merlin! The giant squid was here?! Sierra peered at that pink tentacle, swooping upward like it was just dying to grab a hold of something.
Quick, someone feed it a Hufflepuff! Or...something. She didn't even want to be touched by one of those pink tentacles. She was no girly girl, but there was just something about pink + tentacle that made her want to say,
'Nahh. I think I'll pass'.
"My sister, Anna, says there's merpeople in the lake," she answered, raising her hand.
"She said they invaded the castle once, flooded it, and then the students had to settle some disagreement with them in order to get them out." Sounded like a lot of trouble just to unflood the castle. Someone really should have just opened up a can of Avada Kedavra on those merpeople. Or...something. Maybe a good Sectumsempra at least.

Puffer Fish!?
PUFFER FISH?!
Sierra could have just fallen out in laughter at this point, but she refrained for other reasons. Points loss and detention namely. ...but seriously?! There was really a fish called a Puffer Fish?! That just made her day on so many levels.
