Elsa watched silently as the professor commenced the lesson. She nodded and took notes when appropriate. Creatures that lived inside Hogwarts' grounds.. that wasn't hard. Mermaids for starters, but another student had already said that. There were Thedestrals as well, though she could not see them. The Giant Squid was also an obvious option, the beast took great pleasure in flauting it's tentacles outside the great lake. She squinted at her notes in concentration, trying to remember a creature that she knew lived on those grounds, but it was hard seeing has herself, being a first year, didn't dare to enter the Forbidden Forest so her knowledge was limited to those listed on Hogwarts a History.

Automatically her hand started doodling on the top of her notes, drawing what was now her favorite animal to draw, a snake. That made her remember something "Professor, I know it doesn't count as local, but I think I read on Hogwarts a History that once a Basilisk habited the castle. Is it true?" she asked, raising her hand before speaking "oh, I also believe Grindylows habit the Great Lake Sir" Yes, that was a proper answer.
