He cleared his throat.

"The Whomping Willow has been here at Hogwarts for almost one hundred years. It first appeared on the grounds in september of 1971 and aside from it being a known landmark and familiar sight on the school grounds for almost a century, there is another more significant reason for us to study it today. It was not planted for decorative purposes, does anyone know why the Whomping Willow was planted?"

Tibi wanted nothing to do with the Willow after the beginning of term... but he knew about it. He'd gone to read about that monster tree after it whomped at him.

Raising his hand, Tibi offered hesitatingly, "It was planted to guard the passage to the Shrieking Shack, so named because of the stories that built up around it due to the sounds that could be heard. The sound, rather than being from a haunting, were from the transformation of a werewolf student."

Tibi shuddered at the last bit. Werewolves at Hogwarts were not new... but that didn't mean he had to like it.
