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.

She watched it sway. It was scary when it swayed. It was scary when it didn't move. It was just a big scary tree.

Destiny listened to Professor Truebridge talk. 'It was planted to disguise the passage to the shrieking shack.' 'And to scare me.'

Her eyes flickered towards Professor Truebridge, and she raised her hand. "There's a secret passage leading from our school to the Shrieking Shack. That tree covers it up...makes it all shifty, ya know," she replied. "Remus Lupin went in there to change into a...a....a werewolf."

"Good. As Tiberius mentioned, the Shrieking Shack was called that because of the sounds Remus Lupin, a werewolf student at Hogwarts during the 1970's, made while undergoing the painful transformations he had to suffer through each month. Before this time, the Shrieking Shack was simply an old abandoned house. Albus Dumbledore encouraged the impression that the Shrieking Shack was haunted, why do you suppose he did so and why do you think the Shrieking Shack was chosen for Remus Lupin to make his transformations in?"

Ethan looked up at the Willow and gave it a respectful nod before returning his attention to the class.
