So her question wasn't answered, but Professor Bentley did mention the answer she was looking for would be in a book (Booo!) or she could ask this Professor Scabior person. She'd do the latter since Peyton wasn't patient enough to read over a book.

Back to note taking...she'd also have to look into getting a fancy quill that wrote everything down that was being said. Her mother has one, but refuses to let her borrow it. PFFFFT. The woman needed to learn to share. PFFFT! Anyway, she'd have to use her hand for the mean time. The third year wrote down Professor Bentley's question and was about to raise her hand to say something when...someone said what she was going to say.

Oh, booo!

The answers just kept coming when she finally raised her hand faster than a lighting bolt when it strikes. "Freshwater swamps are at least 1 to 6 feet in depth." There. A characteristic.
