Default HoM III Lesson - Held beside the Lake

Just yards away from the edge of the Lake are a number of blankets laid out and some of the cushion and pillows from the last lesson. Each blanket is large enough to hold four or five students.

With a glance at all the students following her, she lead the way and situated herself and her own picnic basket on the blanket nearest the lake.

"Do come and find a blanket and settle in. Our picnic will begin soon."

Lexi was shoving her face full of cupcakes as she heard Professor Welton speaking of Bartholomew and smearing the icing all over her face as she tried to wipe it clean she said, "So have you ever spoken to him before, Professor?" *Eyeeyeeye*

Drahhco... you danced.. l LET THE GREEN GIRL GO! l I think I got it! l hermoingo boingo boingo....

Hmrmr.... nobody seemed to want to sit with Keeley. Frownie. Meh, whatever, more mysteryiteminthebasket for her. And that mysteryitem happened to be.... YUMMIE GOODIES!!! Hoorah!

The pale girl practically dove into her wonderous basket of goodies and pulled out a handful of cookies.

Omnomnomnomnom!

Even if they still had to learn some stuff, this lesson was starting out pretty awesomely. I mean, being outside and hanging with Bartholomew and people stuffing their faces with sugary goodnesses was a kinda amazing way to conduct classes.

Cupcakes.

"EEEEEK!" Jacob screamed in a high pitch girly voice. He threw the cupcake in his hand as far away as possible... It's still a type of cake!

Jacob curled up into a feeble position and stared at the picnic basket in complete horror.

Wait... Jacob wasn't scared of cake! Jacob was just about to grab another when he realized, that he was definatly not man enough to face his fears, and went back into his feeble position.

Bartholomew?!?!?!

"I wanna play with Barty!"

Jumping out of his feeble position completely forget about the cupcakes, Jacob ran straight to the lake, before skidding to a stop right at the edge. Jacob looked down at his body...

"Clothes" he said simply, and walked back to the blanket
A bit distracted with looking at the water, Sylvie whipped her head back to the source of a high pitched girly scream. It didn't surprise her to see it came from Jacob. Raising a brow, she shook her head. She would have to watch that eagle this lesson.

Barty?!?!

"Jacob, I really don't think he would take a liking to be called that and please try not to jump into the water."

Yes, that eagle was something, wasn't he?

Turning her attention back to the class, she nodded.

"When I was a student, I used to come down and sit by the lake and watch Bartholomew. I would talk to him, but I don't know if he ever really understood me."

Of course, she had a feeling he did, but she wasn't sure.

"Haven't any of you ever tried talking to him?"

Say what now?

Leaning back on her hands, the Slytherin stared at the Professor. Hehe, oh wow. Were all History of Magic professors like this? "You tried talking...to a giant squid?"

...

Alrighty then. Maybe she won't try one of those brownies. Perhaps the professor put something into them to make THEM try and talk to the bathalomeowmix squid. All the Gryffindors (except for Patroclus and Josh, wherever he is) and Huffies and Ravies can eat them.

Talking to a giant squid. Pfft.

She talked to the squid? This lady was missing a few screws. Eino looked around and was relieved to see other students just as confused as he was. Who talked to a giant squid? And who would actually confess to it? He didn't know how to reply or whether he should reply at all. Indecisive, he took a sip of pumpkin juice and took another bite out of his cookie. He patiently waited for someone to either burst out laughing at her, which would be rude but funny, or to confess to doing the same, which would also be funny, but disturbing.

"I'm rather surprised that none of you have attempted to talk to him. You have ever talked to the Whomping Willow before?"

Of all the magical beings and things on the grounds, had they not ever thought to explore and investigate?

Frowning a bit, she looked back at the water. "And what of the merpeople in the lake? We know they live down there and people have attempted to talk to them, why would you not give Bartholomew the same courtesy?"

Professor Welton was definitely a part Bunbury and part Lainey. There was no doubt about it.

Merpeople? "I can understand merpeople, because they can talk back. In a way." If you understood their language that is. "The squid and...tree...though..." Ehhh, she didn't want to know.

Wait...She talked to the crazy whomping willow too? That would have been funny to see. Snickering at the thought, the Slytherin forgot all about her dis-likeness for chocolate and picked up a brownie to examine it. Brownie-ish.

Eino wasn't sure they could or were supposed to do such things. He always considered those creatures dangerous, and being a first year he did not want to risk death, or worse, expulsion (Hermione ♥). Did the squid even understand courtesy? From his understanding, most people in the class didn't even know who Bartholomew was, or that the squid had a name. The Slytherin girl made a good point, the merpeople could communicate in return, both not the others. "Professor," He began as he raised his hand "did you name the squid Bartholomew or was it named before?"

"Sure, I do enjoy a brownies." she smiled as she accepted the trade. She really wasn't a fan of the sandwich, but the house-elves still packed it for her.

Glacing at the lake and shaking her head, she let out a small laugh. "I don't believe so, but maybe we could ask him." In all her time as a student and her time as a professor, she hadn't remembered such a thing. "But I will say that if he did, it would be a sight." The thought of Bartholomew with swords and such did make for an interesting vision.

Has anyone tried talking to the Whomping Willow? "Uhm actually I have yeah...." the lad mumbled. Ok so maybe it wasnt quite talking as more heckling, goading the Willow to take a swipe at him. But the Professor didnt have to know that does she?

His head spun towards Evelyn when she mention-- "What??!? A giant squid?" Whoah slow down there. Angry stationary trees were one thing, giant and potentially vindictive calamari ingredients were another. "Bartholomew is a giant squid? Are we going to talk to a giant squid today Professor?" Maybe he should break out the frying pan-- for defensive purposes of course.

Having been FROWNING at Evelyn ever since she moved her basket, Destiny drifted off to..another place as the Professor talked. She was not paying attention, she was too busy imagining herself and Evelyn fighting over the basket. In her daydream, Destiny had just wrestled the basket out of her friend's hand when..

..SQUID!?

With her daydream and picnic basket forgotten, she turned to the Professor to see if this was the truth. They were going to talk to the Giant Squid? And..was what she heard about him real? Only one way to find out, so she raised her hand. "I head the squid can grant wishes!"

Well, that's what her brothers told her, but they weren't right in the head.

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Alice felt bad that she had never tried to speak to Bartholomew before. She knew about the giant squid and heard that he was friendly, but for some reason she had never found the time to talk to him. Perhaps it was something that she needed to try to do before the end of the term.

Reaching inside the little picnic basket near her Alice reached in and pulled out a cupcake. She took a bite and swallowed. Vanilla with strawberry icing...yum!

"In a way, but maybe the Willow and Bartholoew are talking to us too. Sometimes you have to listen to hear what might be said. Just because they don't talk like us, doesn't mean they can't communicate with us."

It really wasn't impossible, was it?

"I can't take credit for his name, no. When I was a student, someone told me that's what they called him and since then that's what I call him. I highly doubt he likes to just be called the giant squid all the time."

Really, it wouldn't be nice to be just called that. Proper names were nice to have.

Turning her attention back to Salander, she smiled. See it wasn't a completely far-fetched notion to talk to the Willow.

"Really? That's great. I'm sure the Willow didn't talk back, but I'm sure it appreciated the chat. I always felt that no one ever was nice to the Willow and because of that lack of contact, it would get temperamental easily."

Really a chat now and then would probably be good for the Willow and the students.

"We could try, but I'm not sure is Bartholomew will be willing to come close when not many of you seen to keen on talking to him. He may be squid, but I'm sure he had have feelings."

That was the first time that she had heard of this, but maybe Bartholomew did.

"Out of curiosity, where did you hear about this, Destiny?"

Lexi was looking at Professor Welton with an eyebrow raised. Had she drunk some sort of potion that made her think that the squid could communicate with them? Further more, what did he have to do with History of Maic. She was SOOOO confused. Raising her hand she said, "But, Professor, the merepeople can speak for reals. They have theirown language which some people through history have been fluent in, former Headmaster Dumbledore being one of them... The squid doesn't speak any lanuage that I know of. Imean... I know he like waves and stuff."

o___O Color her confused for reals.

Discarding his original belief, Eino paused for a moment to acknowledge the Professor's theory: that perhaps the squid should be treated considerately, and that it did in fact understand language. It's not like he wasn't guilty of naming random things and talking to things that couldn't talk back, except that was in private, and this would be embarrassing. Regardless, if the squid was as the Professor described it, it was probably very lonely in the lake, without anyone to talk to and play with. Plus, it wouldn't be very nice to treat this creature as though it is dangerous and hostile without any evidence, when it is probably docile. He took a deep breath and raised his hand. "Professor, I would like to speak to Bartholomew, may I?" This wouldn't be the first time he embarrassed himself in class, he though, so why not?

Destiny knew it!

Her brothers were totally lying to her about the squid giving wishes! They just wanted her to hop in the lake so the squid could eat her! As soon as this lesson was over, she was going to march herself up to the owlery and send them an owl. Yeah, and then when she sees them in person, she would give them a nice punch to the stomach..because that was the only place she could reach on them.

Managing a small smile, she shrugged at the Professor's question. "Maybe my brothers told me. Maybe I read about it. I dunno."

*cue dramatic music*

Cass, who had been too busy with the cupcakes she had found inside the basket, was surprised when she heard that the giant squid was named Bartholomew. Wow...that was weird.

"Professor. How did the squid - ah, I mean Bartholomew - end up in the lake anyway? Isn't there natural habitat supposed to be in really deep oceans?" She asked. Maybe mama squid and daddy squid got lost or something....

Wait a second, Eino wanted to talk to the Giant Squid?! Kurumi's jaw dropped as she just stared. Then again, it could be interesting...but, did Mr. Squid speak English? "Professor, does Bartholomew speak English? Or are we going to be learning Squidish?" Was that what you called the language of the squid? That would probably be a fascinating writing system to study.

".......niffler!"
Patroclus smiled to Evelyn as the picnic basket was opened, Patroclus' eye's growing as it did.

With a brownie in his hand and a cupckae in his mouth, Patroclus listened intently to the lesson, his head whipping from person to person as they spoke, or in Jacob's case ran into the lake.....ish

Swallowing, Patroclus smiled at the professor and then began to reply, "I can understand your meaning of the Squid talking, the same way a whale or a dolphin, but what we really understand is the emotion's behind the sounds, not the words themselves......if that makes sense, where as with the Merpeople the fact that they possess brain function on the small level as human's we are able to translate Merish and in some cases speak it," Patroclus didn't want to pipe up and say he could speak merish, he didn't want to be the center of attention.

"This may be a CoMC type question, but is there away wizards are able to understand the minds on non-speaking creatures?"

Neptune was SURE of that. Color this Bott disappointed. She gave Duncan looks, multiple looks. One, because he'd name a kitten Turtle, and two, because there were no kittens and as THE Champion, he was expected to fix this.

She was depending on Trixie for backup. She was giving the LOOK, too, right?


The lesson turned to merpeople and squids and trees. Fine by Neptune, and since no one was really asking anything of her, she spent the time nudging at Duncan. And giggling.

"I've never SEEN the squid. Seeing is believing, I say."

"True, some people have been known to speak Merish with the merpeople. They have their own language, but again just because we might not know of a known language that squids use, does mean it doesn't exist at all."

Lack of knowledge on a subject never indicates the existance of something.

"Think about all the languages in the world that exist but we don't all speak. We might not speak them but they all exist, correct?"

"Of course Eino! Feel free to talk to him. I don't think he will come all that close to us, but feel free to come closer to the water and have a few words with him."

Yeah, and then when she sees them in person, she would give them a nice punch to the stomach..because that was the only place she could reach on them.

Managing a small smile, she shrugged at the Professor's question. "Maybe my brothers told me. Maybe I read about it. I dunno."

*cue dramatic music*
She couldn't really help but have a slight giggle at the what she was seeing on the young Slytherin's face.
"It's an interesting theory, I'd really love to know if it was true. But you know if your brothers told you, they might have been tugging your leg. I know I used to do the same to my brother."

Siblings did always have a way of tugging each other's legs and all.

"You know I always wondered that myself. It's obviously not his natural habitat, but Bartholomew isn't really an ordinary giant squid either. How do you think he ended up in our lake?"

"I've never heard him speak English but I think he might understand it."

Squidish?!?!

"Maybe we could learn it! But first, let's see if Bartholomew will come to us."

With a brownie in his hand and a cupckae in his mouth, Patroclus listened intently to the lesson, his head whipping from person to person as they spoke, or in Jacob's case ran into the lake.....ish

Swallowing, Patroclus smiled at the professor and then began to reply, "I can understand your meaning of the Squid talking, the same way a whale or a dolphin, but what we really understand is the emotion's behind the sounds, not the words themselves......if that makes sense, where as with the Merpeople the fact that they possess brain function on the small level as human's we are able to translate Merish and in some cases speak it," Patroclus didn't want to pipe up and say he could speak merish, he didn't want to be the center of attention.

"This may be a CoMC type question, but is there away wizards are able to understand the minds on non-speaking creatures?"
You do make a valid point Patroclus. It is more sounds that we hear but again we aren't accustom to what we hear but we can definitely pick up on emotions and all."

Yes, they were all a smart bunch of kiddies!

"Of course there is a way. Think about parseltongue. Snakes don't speak in words to us, but again they have their own means of communication. Now think of all the other possible means of communication amongst non-speaking beings and creatures."

Neptune was SURE of that. Color this Bott disappointed. She gave Duncan looks, multiple looks. One, because he'd name a kitten Turtle, and two, because there were no kittens and as THE Champion, he was expected to fix this.

She was depending on Trixie for backup. She was giving the LOOK, too, right?


The lesson turned to merpeople and squids and trees. Fine by Neptune, and since no one was really asking anything of her, she spent the time nudging at Duncan. And giggling.

"I've never SEEN the squid. Seeing is believing, I say."
Hearing the voice of Miss Bott, she glanced over. Bartholomew did like to hide and all, but maybe she had a point. They needed to see him and then they would believe for sure.

Looking back to the water and then to her students she sighed happily. It appeared that they were getting the jest of things.

"You know I'm sure you are wondering what this has to do with History of magic? Well, it's important to know about all things that relate to history right? So why not learn about what is around us. Bartholomew is a part of the history of Hogwarts and the history of Hogwarts is important to us, correct?"

Yes, minor details that added up to the grand scheme of things.

Simon looked at the Professor. "Why is Bartholomew important to Hogwarts, it's it only a fish?" Simon wondered why it would be important. "Professor what would happen if someone went fishing in this lake?" Simon hadn't been fishing for awhile and he wondered if it was allowed in this lake.

Nom Nom Nom. Brownies. These were yummy. Finn broke one in half with his fingers, putting a little into his mouth and eating it. It was very yummy indeed. He sort of half paid attention to the lesson, as he ate the thing, and then he decided it was probably best to pay more attention, right? The squid. They were learning about the squid. Mmm. Maybe he would want some brownie, they were very nice. Although....maybe he didnt eat sugary stuff?

YES. FOOOOOD TIME. "So there's squid in here? Wickedddd." Fletcher started rummaging around in Trixie's picnic basket, totally oblivious to all of Neptune's I-wants-a-kittycat LOOKS and nudges. He shoved a cupcake into his face and munched obnoxiously, confused about where the squid was and who the heck Barthomew was.

"There's definitely no calamari in there," he whispered to the two girls sitting beside him. "I think the cupcakes have gone to the professor's head." Yeah the history of Hogwarts was totally important and all but Fletcher was too distracted by the food to pay attention just now.

He polished off one cupcake and reached for another, successfully getting a bit of pink frosting on the tip of his nose in the process. He leaned toward Awesome Bott and nudged her back. "Hey, Bartholomew would make a good name for a cat. It has 'mew' at the end, you know, like the sound kitties make. Mew mew! Mew mew!" Fletcher demonstrated the noise for Neptune although it sounded more like a TIE fighter than a kitten.
