One moment the History of Magic professor was adressing students to their answers, the next the famous giant squid smacks a student in the head. Was Hogwarts always full of little surprises such as this? It was almost like the squid appeared on cue from the professor. Hmm. She would like to see how that was negotiated.

Tearing her eyes from the lake where the squid descended back into, Sylia turned back to the class and listened. Finally the other professor spoke! She almost wondered if he had fell into a daze for being on the grounds. It was nice enough weather to nap in, that was for sure. Here we go, creature talk! "I heard of one instance a Hippocampus was brought to the lake for the merpeople to have."Maybe they got another and populated the lake with a few more of them? Hmm. What was the other thing they had? She could almost remember it. It was on the tip of her tongue!
