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

She was aware that Professor Truebridge was talking, but she was still starring at the tree until she heard another question being asked. Hmm, why did Dumbledore do that? "Dumbledore could have encouraged the impression that the Shrieking Shack was haunted so no one would wander there during a full moon when Remus Lupin was a wolf. And the place was probably chosen since it wasn't so close to Hogwarts, that no student would really be in any danger when the full moon came around, and since it was abandoned anyway..." It seemed like a good explanation for it, but, eh, Evelyn wasn't so sure.
