She was cold so to speak. Quote:

Or so that was what she thought. Maybe they had made the Task for the Tournament to just be mean and screw with people. Quote:

Reluctantly, Kurumi raised her hand. "To bring history to life for each of us? Perhaps this was not just to us a sense of stepping back in time, but to also have us each take some sort of personal lesson from it?" Quote:

1994. They had just taken part in one of the Triwizard Tournament tasks.. really. Sort of? Whatever.
Scowling, she threw her doll away from her. 'And as Daichi has just said, maybe because you two are clearly out of you minds!?' Thea lay down, face down on the grass. She couldn't work out if this was funny, or just bit embarrassing. Quote:

What better way to learn something than to actually experience it yourself. Would you agree Professor Scabior?" She turned to stare at the other Professor. She had let her anger over take the upset feeling ever so slightly. She closed her mouth before anything else could come out of it and dropped her hand. Quote:

Originally Posted by Hermione Lily Potter Lily however raised her hand before answering, "Because you wanted us to experience one task of the triwizard tournament for ourselves and see what Harry Potter went through." Lily put her hand down and folded her arms, furiously eyeballing the professors, one of which obviously thought that it was comical to put them through this. Quote:

Des didn't really think there was, but she raised her hand anyway trying to soften her look, at least a little, "By going all the way to the bottom of the lake we were able to see all the creatures in their natural environment, even the merpeople, and by saving our loved ones.." pause "we were reenacting history, performing the same task as the Triwizard Champions had to." she continued, "I guess it's also kind of.. creative, how we were saving Harry Potter, since he had been the one to save two people in the challenge. So instead of him doing the saving, we are, and it's showing us that we can accomplish the same thing he had." she finished smugly. she wanted to say cruel instead of creative, but whatever. They didn't even deserve that answer, let alone a long one. They were the ones who needed to do some explaining.
"Right.... well, most of you have sort of gotten it." Williamson sighed a little as others still seemed angry.
"The point of this exercise was to (hopefully) stimulate empathy within you all. It was also to familiarize you with the creatures beneath the lake, to allow you an opportunity to see them in their natural habitat, and then for you to experience history firsthand for yourself."
Students seemed to agree that they had certainly experienced empathy for the champions of the Triwizard Tournament, so Williamson nodded to those who had been correct.
"However," he voice took on a sharp, stern tone, "this exercise was also to stir within you empathy for the creatures who have had tricks played on them by wizardkind, for the centaurs and merpeople who are promised things like equal rights and protected lakes and forests, only to have those things most beloved to them whisked away by false promises."
He gave the class a stern look. "I hope you all DID learn a personal lesson," he echoed Kurumi's answer, "and I hope you DON'T take what you have for granted. Because unlike the creatures we studied today, you have lost nothing in this battle to rescue what you saw as yours. You will have no lasting effects from your trip under the lake. But the creatures?" He shook his head. "I cannot say the same for the magical creatures of the world."
His piece said, Williamson offered the class a hard look and nodded briefly to Scabior. If he had anything to add.... now was the time, before they assigned homework.
