Merpeople? "I can understand merpeople, because they can talk back. In a way." If you understood their language that is. "The squid and...tree...though..." Ehhh, she didn't want to know.

Wait...She talked to the crazy whomping willow too? That would have been funny to see. Snickering at the thought, the Slytherin forgot all about her dis-likeness for chocolate and picked up a brownie to examine it. Brownie-ish.

"In a way, but maybe the Willow and Bartholoew are talking to us too. Sometimes you have to listen to hear what might be said. Just because they don't talk like us, doesn't mean they can't communicate with us."

It really wasn't impossible, was it?

The Slytherin girl made a good point, the merpeople could communicate in return, both not the others. "Professor," He began as he raised his hand "did you name the squid Bartholomew or was it named before?"

"I can't take credit for his name, no. When I was a student, someone told me that's what they called him and since then that's what I call him. I highly doubt he likes to just be called the giant squid all the time."

Really, it wouldn't be nice to be just called that. Proper names were nice to have.

His head spun towards Evelyn when she mention-- "What??!? A giant squid?" Whoah slow down there. Angry stationary trees were one thing, giant and potentially vindictive calamari ingredients were another. "Bartholomew is a giant squid? Are we going to talk to a giant squid today Professor?" Maybe he should break out the frying pan-- for defensive purposes of course.

Turning her attention back to Salander, she smiled. See it wasn't a completely far-fetched notion to talk to the Willow.

"Really? That's great. I'm sure the Willow didn't talk back, but I'm sure it appreciated the chat. I always felt that no one ever was nice to the Willow and because of that lack of contact, it would get temperamental easily."

Really a chat now and then would probably be good for the Willow and the students.

"We could try, but I'm not sure is Bartholomew will be willing to come close when not many of you seen to keen on talking to him. He may be squid, but I'm sure he had have feelings."

..SQUID!?

With her daydream and picnic basket forgotten, she turned to the Professor to see if this was the truth. They were going to talk to the Giant Squid? And..was what she heard about him real? Only one way to find out, so she raised her hand. "I head the squid can grant wishes!"

Well, that's what her brothers told her, but they weren't right in the head.

Wishes?!?!

"I'm not sure about that, but maybe next time I will have to ask about that?"

That was the first time that she had heard of this, but maybe Bartholomew did.

"Out of curiosity, where did you hear about this, Destiny?"

if they could she'd be at the lake talking to him more often. that'd be soo cool

"Well, I'm sure they can communicate make to us. I wouldn't call it talking but not all forms of communication involve speech."
