Drain your ears she looked at the people that was said to... Awkward...



A squid, a giant squid in fact.... LuLu's eyes widened they weren't normally introduced in class! It was all pink and suctiony and things... It was pretty aswell though! LuLu stared at the girl that almost fell into the lake the squid wasn't as stable as she would have thought.... Even though she never say a stable squid O_o



Emmm well... Atleast they finally introdced the CoMC part of the classs but everything you could say was said and repeating wasn't somthing she loved to do...

''Well I don't think there is anymore than the Merpeople, Grindylows and the giant squid of course, maybe hippocampus aswell other and I suppose there is some fish of some sort down there to other than that... i'm not.. sure,''

She said, thinking about it more now but still it wasn't like she could take her answer back

They've already mention all.. Grindylows, Merpeople, Hippocampus.. Raven read her textbook and search the water creatures besides them. Then she raised her hand and tried to answer.

"Maybe there is any plimpy in the lake." Said her. She also didn't what the heck plimpy look like.

Louisa's eyes were fixed on the pink creature as it tugged on somebody's robe. A very cautious look it was, and disapproving. Wasn't it supposed to be IN the lake and not interrupting their education time? Yeah, she thought so.

Okay, to answer the nice Professor's question... although putting daisies behind his ear made him less professional to the young girl. Raising her hand, Louisa replied, "There are Grindylows, sir." A very nasty and demony creatures that Louisa has no intention of meeting.

The appearance of the giant squid helped Hades from falling asleep. The sight was very much enjoyable and he felt a little more energetic. As his hair started to fall, covering half of his face, he pushed it backwards so he could take another look at the giant creature before it went back into the lake. Hades smirked before turning back to the other professor (Williamson) as he started about Care of Magical Creatures. Finally! Those lectures on history didn't interest the boy a bit. As the professor asked about the creatures hail in the Lake, Hades' hand shot up like a jet of spell. "GRINDYLOWS!!" he beamed, almost jumped off his sitting spot.

Autumn looked on at the giant squid, its tenticals relaxing in the water!
"umm professor is there a colony of merpeople that live in the lake?"

Lewis immediately lowered his gaze when Professor Scabior Evil!Dashi repeated his answer, clearly making fun of him. How was he supposed to know? Plus, he thought he deserved a little approval that he had at least known where the Slytherin Common Room was. Not daring to answer another one of the questions the History of Magic professor posed, Lewis just scribbled down notes, keeping his head low, not looking at anybody. This just had to be the worst lesson ever!

Only raising his head again - the blush which had formed on his cheeks was slowly residing - when he heard a couple of surprised yelps and shrieks. Was that...?! OMG! Lewis just stared at the enormous squid which had just emerged from the lake, not quite sure if he should be scared or intrigued by it. Seeing it wave at them - or something close to that anyway - he decided to go with the latter, and waved back, even managing to produce a small smile for the creature.

And then the other professor continued with the lesson and Lewis decided that maybe he wasn't that bad after all. He knew how to deal with creatures after all. And he didn't seem to be as mean as Professor Scabior. Listening to other people's answers, he didn't want to say the same thing that had been said already so instead he raised his hand and said, "Leeches, maybe, professor?" He had said to list magical AND mundane creatures after all, right?

Throwing the Giant Squid another quick smile, he waited for further instructions. Why had it actually joined them for this lesson?!

Isabelle could only think of one thing. So she raised her hand. "Professors, there are grindylows in the black lake aren't there?" Yes this was a question even though she basically already knew the answer. She had read about the grindylows and how Fluer Delacour got caught by the grindylows and couldn't continue the Tri-Wizard tournament.

Ira really needed to focus more on the lesson going on and less on the beauty of the lake!

Then came an interesting part! A giant squid! Merlins! Ira hadn't ever seen a squid, and a giant squid, never! It was so.. so.. cute? No, not cute in her sense, but definitely amusing! Ira giggled silently when it maybe accidently smacked the head of a girl.. It looked so funny!

So what was being discussed? It was called the Black Lake.. fine! Then creatures inside the lake? Ofcourse there had to be some fishes and some others inside there, right? The truth was that Ira didn't actually know about it! But hearing others' answers, Ira decided to go with the flow, "Professor, there are toads in the lake.." There had to be toads wherever there is water, right?

Vlimia could have jumped for joy when she heard CoMC had started, but she didn't, because that would be disrespectful to the other teacher. What was in the lake... well... Vlimia raised her hand thoughtfully. When she was chosen, Vlim said "Well, proffesor, the Grindylows, Merpeople and the Giant Squid all live in the Black Lake. Maybe plimpies are there as well." Vlimia said, thinking back to when she was reading up on Magical Water Beasts for this lesson. Well, it had come in handy... but not the research she had done on the Kappa. That was Japanese, so it most probably wouldn't reside in the Black Lake.

Surely, Professor Scabior is being picky about the answers. And probably not in a very happy mood today.

Victoria felt that it is the time start giving out smart answers, 'cause Professor Scabior is really scary when he gets...like that.

SQUIDDEY!

Victoria watched the squid with interest. It sure is GIANT. Victoria had never seen a GIANT squid, or even a regular squid (unless you call the ones that had been chopped and cooked in food). Victoria wasn't sure whether to be disgusted, scared, fascinated, or interested by the strange creature.

"Besides the Giant Squid??" Victoria turned to the next professor. "Well...there are merepeople, grindylows...those are magical creatures of course. Mundane creatures would include regular fish and other sea creatures." Victoria answered.

Harvey noticed movement from the corner of his eye and saw ...... a squid! saying hello?! wow theres something you dont see everyday a squid saying hello.. and he smiled weakly at it as it went back into the lake but not before smacking Alyssa.. Harvey's eyes went wide.. he wanted to ask her if she was ok.. but he didnt want to lose any points.



Harvey raised his hand "I think maybe Grindylows are in there" he answered the question as he looked at the lake and wondered what else might be in there..

Jordan raised his hand, "other than the giant squid, there are merpeople and grindylows and the likes..." he trailed off pausing to think. He was basically echoing the others, he couldn't think of any more!

Ariella glanced over at the squid, quite distracted by its movements. She snapped herself back into reality for the next question. After raising her hand, she began her answer. "There are grindylows and merepeople in the lake. And of course, mundane creatures such as fish." Well, at least she thought so. There had to be more magical creatures in the lake. But why couldn't she think of any? Merlin, it was that squid that was distracting her.

Oh that's simple Nate thought to himself. Nate raised his hand and said "Grindylows."

Hannah raised her hand and said "Professor there are merepeople and grindylows in the lake." She was sure there were lots more, but that's all that she was sure of.

Melanie blinked rapidly in the direction of the lake, expecting the visage of a giant, pink tentacle to fade like a mirage. But no, there it was. There was a giant squid in the lake. And it was waving at them. And their professor was waving back and calling it...Barty? The giant squid had a nickname? And it was Barty, of all things? Must be an awfully friendly gargantuan sea creature to have such a benign nickname.

As the tentacle finally -thankfully- sank back into the water, Melanie thought about the professor's question. Wanting to come up with something a little more inventive, Melanie answered, "Perhaps there is a kelpie in the lake, sir. There's one in Loch Ness, so maybe there's one here too?"

Lily pondered with this question. She had read about these things before. After a while Lily remembered what she had wanted to say, so she raised her hand. "Is it possible that there would be dugbogs in the lake?" After she had answered, Lily kept thinking about her answer. I think they live in marshy areas but maybe there could be some in the lake.
Lily just hoped that she would get points or something for coming up with something that nobody else had mentioned yet, if it was even possible that they lived in the lake.

Carigan thought. What kind of creatures were in the lake? She wracked her brain. "Well... merpeople, as we said before. Maybe Grindylows?" She asked. She had had short conversations with her mother about magical creatures.

Minerva had already answered the question, but she was writing down the answers that others were saying. How did she forget to say merpeople instead of just mermaid oh well what's done is done she thought. Then she couldn't believe the amount of students that were saying more then one answer. The professors just said not to do that, to only answer with one answer. She wanted to remind her hufflepuffs, but didn't want to lose points so she just kept writing the answers done and glancing a the lake at the squid.

This lesson was fairly interesting, but Nessie just wasn't in a focused mood she was distracted by all sorts of things. She barely even knew what they were talking about, she was just so out of it. It was when Professor Williamson returned that she actually tried to focus and when she looked at him properly she sort of froze. He was sort of good looking, well for a Professor at least and Ness couldn't help but stare in awe at him, he was just too amazing. Focus! She sort of shook head, trying not to think about it. She needed to concentrate now, unless she wanted to get into trouble which she honestly didn't.

o____O

It was only a few seconds later that she realised the giant squid had accidently pushed Lyssie to the floor, Nessie's first reaction was to go and help Lyssie up, but she sort of stopped herself when she remembered that, that would distrupt the lesson which wasn't something she wanted to do to such a cool teacher, she wanted to be in his good books.

Right so he said something about creatures in some Lake that she didn't hear from before. She raised her hand going a little red in the cheeks. "Um..Pr..r..offes..ssoor...I..th..ink..the..re's.. .mermaids" Her cheeks went redder as she realized how much she had embarrased herself. Honestly mermaids? Of course he'd know that there were mermaids and so did the rest of the students. She felt so retarted for saying what she did, she wanted to hide in a hole and stay there for the rest of the class.

Salima sat there for a while befre raising her hand to answer 'Like I said before Grindylows live in the black lake.'

Damned squid hitting Alyssa! He looked at the lake as if he were plotting revenge, he quickly refocused himself. Alyssa seemed to be fine and even gave a clever answer. Professor, I believe a colony of merpeople reside in the Black Lake.He looked back the lake unhappily.

"Professor, isn't there merpeople in the Black Lake?" She remembered reading something about it last year. But that was one of the more obvious answers. Almost everyone in Hogwarts knew about the Merpeople people used in the Tri-wizards tournament in the past. That, and the fact that there was a giant squid in there too. "Or perhaps grindylows?" She had read about those too.

Em knew there was supposed to be a giant squid in the lake, but she never imagined it was that giant. It was pretty awesome looking though, and seemed as friendly as.the womping willow. Raising her hand to answer the question, she said, I'M sure there are several species of magical fish in the lake.

Violet raised up her hand. "Besides the creatures many of the others named, could there be a colony of different species of fish living in the lake, though I'm not sure which types of fish live in there."

Violet was careful to only say one answer because she had already seen many of her classmates lose house points for not following directions. Ravenclaw seemed to falling behind the others.
