Wait, had he just earned house points for mentioning something horrible that had happened at Hogwarts? "Thanks Professor" he smiled but that smile slowly turned in to a frown when he learned that someone had actually died that time. Great,now he felt bad. His father had never mentioned that detail but now that he thought about it, it had probably been the right choice to leave a death out of the story to a nine year old.

Anyway, enough being happy and sad at the same time, when the Hufflepuff correctly answered what todays topic would be he looked over at her with a bit of an admiring expression. That was cool. Too bad she wasn't in ravenclaw, they could have gotten more points.

The flood was something he was not familiar with and judging from the date it had happened, his father had not been a student himself so no stories either.

"Maybe some students" see how he did not say idiots? "angered the Giant Squid by throwing pebbles at him while he was sunbathing and the Giant Squid was like" he held up his arms and waved them around. "Who dares to wake me from my slumber??" And then flooded the castle?"

Yeaaah....he had no idea here...
