Nodding at the Professor at the comment she gave on her answer, Beezus' eyes went back to the swamp...now genuinely curious as to what other living creatures could be found in there.

She looked back at the woman when another question was raised. Hand up. "In addition to what Spike had said, Professor Seren..." She glanced at her co-Prefect and gave him a quick smile. "..Since swamps are considered breeding grounds, it is where some amphibians, reptiles, other animals, plants, and microbes reside. With the existence of this body of water, certain species of living organisms....with emphasis on rare and close to extinct ones are maintained." So, thank Merlin for their existence. "Simply, swamps serve to provide ecological functions and operates as a refuge of protection to its inhabitants."
