Ian shuffled out of the boys dorm rooms as he sleepily tried to rouse himself from the land of dreams. He'd had an odd one about the lake and some large squid like creature in it. He'd heard tales of it being in the Hogwarts lake, but coming from the coast of Wales wondered if it could be true. He didn't think it would be warm enough to support a giant squid. Of course this was a magical place, so perhaps the water wasn't nearly as cold as the environment would suggest.

He walked over and noticed that something seemed to have happened, but he didn't know any of the people left around and wasn't curious enough to ask. Of course no one noticed him as he took one of the nice, squishy chairs by the fireplace. It reminded him of home and he'd thought about trying to find some chestnuts to toast, but hadn't. He pulled out a large book that looked very much like the one his mum had bought in that shop in London and began to search the pages for anything to help him understand his new life better.
