Oohh good question.
"Nothing can survive without ecosystems... but ecosystems are forever changing, they adapt, but they will always be there just perhaps not as they used to be."

But in terms of magical influence...
"We can alter or manipulate conditions through magic... so in a sense we can sustain particular ecosystems, yes."



Did anything LIVE in there. Well it certainly looked that way. "Of course," she said naturally. "When there are conditions ideal to meet to needs of particular organisms who are they to go elsewhere?" After all, the swamp had been there a long time now. It should even be heritage listed.

"To an extent, there is only so much magic can do... and powerful magic at that... but ultimately nature has to take its course."



Alright, enough dilly dallying.. if there were laggers they could answer to her later.
"So as you can see, the second part of today's lesson will be a case study of the Weasley Swamp. Now I'm not a history teacher, so if you have any questions about its origins I suggest you consult Hogwarts, A History or alternatively go see Professor Scabior, I'm sure he'd appreciate your questions." Oh how priceless that would be. She really did hope at least one or two of them would do and take up his time.

"For now, just drop your bags against the wall so that you're comfortable... and you'll need to take notes."

Now, to see what they already knew about swamps.

"There are typically two categories of swamp, the first is fresh water and the second is salt water... can anybody offer me a characteristic for one of them?"

OOC: The lesson will continue in approximately 15 hours. Please only offer ONE characteristic for EITHER salt water swamps OR fresh water swamps. Thanks! (;


Harvey followed everyone else to where they were going and he was surprised there was a swamp there, but that soon was overtaken by the smell of the swamp. He had been near a few to be used to the smell and sight of the swamp so he didnt have the usual reaction that other people had. He then listened as Professor Bentley talked about the very brief history of the swamp before telling them to drop their bags. So he dropped his bag and went back to the swamp to have a look at she told them about the two types of swamps and ask them for a characteristic of a swamp. He put up his hand "They are usually found near rivers or lakes" he answered the question before looking back at the swamp wondering what they were going to do with the swamp.
