Anyway, the Swamp is one of the twins’ creations and they simply set it up as a way to annoy and cause hardships for her.’’ At this point, Claudine laughed softly. “Umbridge didn’t know how to remove the Swamp and as a result, the caretaker was tasked with using a boat to transport the students across to classes.’’ She wrinkled her nose. “I reckon that was no fun because… ew.’’

Even Samm was sniffing the air again then chittering as though agreeing with Claudine. “Since then, this bit of the Swamp has been left as a sort of memento.’’ Cue a glance to the Swamp and then back at Serena, who had been surprisingly easy to talk to. “And that’s the brief history of the stinky Swamp.’’


As Claudine finished the Tale of the Swamp, Serena chuckled. "It is an impressive piece of magic to cast. To sustain a small ecosystem in a random corridor." She said thoughtfully, the reason for which was partly impressive, partly admirable, and partly frivolous too if she was being honest about it. "Wait." The Slytherin stopped mid-thought "Did you say 'this bit of swamp'?" She asked incredulously "You mean to tell me that this used to be bigger?!" The smell from this small patch of water was bad enough - imagine if it used to occupy the entire corridor!

"Do you think there are animals in it?" She asked, peering into the murky waters below them. "I wonder how deep it gets."
