He eyed Dash for a moment. "I'm sure you all already know about the controversy surrounding Merpeoples' chosen classification as beasts instead of beings, yes?" If not, perhaps Dash would like to add on to that?
Scabior had NOT taken to sitting on the ground like the Care of Magic Professor had when he was going over the history of the lake. Instead he stood off to the side, listening of course, but his attention was turned to the squid, and the lake in general.

"Most of them won't." He said as he caught Willy's glance. So he wanted HIM to explain? Ugh. He did not teach them about Merpeople in his class, they were just as bad as goblins."Unless they have read their textbooks of course."

Dash turned back around to the students. "In the 14th century Burdock Muldoon who was the Chief of the Wizards' Council decided to create classifications of all magical creatures. He deemed Beings as any creature that could walk on two legs. Then held a meeting to discuss laws." Stupid on his part really. "Needless to say Augureys, Trolls and Pixies as well as other creatures, do not get along too well, and that resulted in chaos."

"Elfrida Clagg, replaced Muldoon as Chief eventually and tried to set another definition, her's being that a Beings could speak the Human tongue. Since Merpeople could not talk above water, they were offended by this, as were Centaurs and refused the definition on behalf of the Merpeople"

Were they going to write this down? It would probably be hard, but he hoped they would remember. "In 1811, The Ministry of Magic replaced the Wizards Council and decided that Beings, were any creature that have enough intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws. Which would make Merpeople, Beings" He paused. "However Merpeople along with Centaurs rejected this notion due to the fact that they did not agree with the classification of some of the other creatures who were put in the category such as Vampires and hags." Merpeople were difficult creatures, just like Centaurs. "And so by default, they are known as Beasts." Epic history lesson over. He looked at William. Happy?
