Default The Black Lake


Located just south of the castle and extending up to the edge of mountains in the distance is a half-mile wide body of freshwater known as the Black Lake (or the Great Lake). This is where the first years catch sight of Hogwarts for the first time when the Groundskeeper takes them across by boat, and where the seventh years set sail to new adventures on their graduation day. To the left side of the lakeshore is the way to the boathouse containing those seldom-used school vessels and other aquatic equipment.

If you decide to dip your toes in or feel brave enough for a swim in the chilly lake water, please be mindful of the many magical creatures inhabiting the lake. Grindylows, merpeople, selkies, and more all call the Black Lake home. On a warm day, you may even spot a tentacle wrapped around a stone in the shallows near the shore. Bartholomew Henry, the semi-domesticated Giant Squid, still hangs out here from time to time. Farther down the shores of the lake and heading toward the forest is a large white tomb belonging to a legendary former Hogwarts Headmaster, and a sandy stretch of shore where a certain Azkaban escapee was once saved by a stag patronus.

Whether you skip a stone or just sit and contemplate the serenity of the water, remember that you're walking along the path of history when you visit the shores of the Black Lake.

OOC: This probably goes without saying, but please do not RP for the Giant Squid! He DOES go here!

The term had been horrible since DAY ONE. All the bumps and curveballs, she kept telling herself everything was okay.

But this was the straw that broke the erumpent's back. This was the thing that made her realise that this term was NOT actually going to be okay. In fact, it made it quite clear that the world really WAS ending.

Her eyes flooded with tears instantly. These weren't the quick kind she drew for when she wasn't getting her way, they were the kind that spoke of disappointment and heartbreak. Sammy had been her boyfriend since they were seven. Sure...she'd always been the one to say it...and maybe he never acted like it...but it never occurred to her...that he...actually didn't want to be her boyfriend.

Sammy wasn't playing hard to get....he didn't wanna get with her.

"...Why?" Her voice cracked when she spoke next but she had to know. "Is it something I didn't do? We can make it work, we've been so happy this whole time. I don't understand."


She was crying.

Emm was cRYING.

Seeing the tears in her eyes was enough to make Sammy feel worse than he did before. The weight in his chest felt much heavier than it did before, especially because he knew that these tears were because of him. Every part of him wanted to curl up into a ball right where he sat. Or get some cuddles from his mum or Cece.

No one had told him this would be this hard.

And then she started asking questions. Questions that confused him but also left him feeling worse than he did before. A part of him wanted to get up and run all the way up to the Ravenclaw tower in an attempt to avoid answering her questions. But he also knew that that wasn't possible - and he was sure it was only going to make her feel worse. It would make all of this worse.

He didn't know how long he had been silent for but he was silent. He couldn't blame her, not even slightly. But he couldn't deny that she threatened to get her mum to throw him into Azkaban if he didn't agree to whatever this was. And he couldn't lie to her. That's not what friends do.

"No. No no no, that's not why. You did..... a lot." Was that a good way of saying and not saying at the same time? "It's just that I...... I don't like you." This didn't feel like the best way to say that. "I mean, like that. I like you as a friend. I always have."

I don’t like you.

I don’t like you.

I don’t like you.


It did not matter what other words came from Samuel Summers’s lips. Only those four, ordered the way they were, kept playing. It was like a ringing in her ear, echoing throughout the rest of her on repeat. Those words stung more than any criticism her former dance instructor had ever given her.

Yes, that was exactly what it felt like. Criticism of her. All it boiled down to was that she, Emmerson Nicole Justine Cambridge, was not good enough for him. With all she’d done—he said she’d done a lot—it wasn’t enough and she wasn’t great enough and he was probably in love with someone better.

Emm didn’t know if she was more hurt than humiliated. Both feelings vied for her undivided attention, both equally asserting their right to be in her heart. It didn’t feel like there was anything left to say.

He didn’t like her. The fact he brought up friendship after felt like nothing more than a consolation prize to the 12-year-old. Of course, somewhere deep down she knew they were friends and had been friends long before...whatever. But in the moment it didn’t feel like it. He could’ve only said it to make her feel better. Maybe, like their relationship, the friendship had only ever been in her head.

With her chest feeling like it would combust at any minute, Emmerson rose to her feet. It was too late to leave with any dignity. She was all but ugly crying at this point. BUT she could still leave, and so she did. While she didn’t know where she was going, anywhere was better than on that blanket out by the lake with Sammy (a sentiment she never thought she’d experience).

"Maybe your sister never met him." Kinsay replied almost automatically. Her second thought was that maybe his sister wasn't cool enough to meet him, but Kizzy hadn't met him yet either and the implication that maybe she wasn't cool enough to meet him kind of made her sad. Maybe he was sleeping.

Do squids sleep?

Again, Kinsay turned to give Cal a funny look. ".... That doesn't make sense because Mr. Henry isn't people. He's a squid." She wrinkled her nose at him the way that Phoebe sometimes does. And then Kizzy had a thought. One that she needed to voice immediately because it felt like a revelation. "Do you think Henry Hembree's parents named him after the squid?" Cal would know. They were housemates.


There. That was a pretty pebble. You know, as far as the beauty of pebbles went. Nice and smooth. Although it looked like it would do well at skipping across the lake too. But it was pretty. But skipping. But pretty.
Cal picked the pebble up and turned it over in the palm of his hand. Maybe he'd hang onto it for now.

"Aye, 'tis a possibility." Cathal agreed with Kinsay. But then Celli probably knew a lot of people without always mentioning them to him. "Or maybe he left Hogwarts too." Even old people had to leave Hogwarts at some point, right?

Slipping the pebble into his pocket, Cathal sat down next to Kinsay. He still wasn't sure whether or not they were friends, but sitting next to her ought to be alright like.

A WHAT????? He turned to face Kinsay, a very confused look on his face. A SQUID???? What else did they have here????? "Then how d'ye know the squid's name????" Henry didn't sound like a squid name. More of a zebra name. "Could just as likely be Stephen or or or Declan." Was it a Mr Squid too then or was that just her guessing??????? DID SHE KNOW ANYTHING???? "Uhhhhh." Cal scratched the back of his head, not having put much thought into why Henry was called Henry. "I think maybe he's named after one of them other Henry lads." There'd been a bunch of them knocking about, hadn't there?

There'd been a bunch of them knocking about, hadn't there?

Distracted with thoughts of Mr. Henry again, Kinsay splashed some water around with the hand that she had already submerged into the lake. Maybe Mr. Henry would SEE her splashes and would want to investigate. Were squids curious creatures? She had so many questions to ask of Mr. Williamson the next time they saw him in class. She'd have to make sure to remember them (she would, her memory was the beeeest).

Maybe Cal was even more confused that Kinsay had thought him to be. He clearly understood nothing because a squid couldn't just get up and leave Hogwarts! Not even a magical one. Maybe if the Hogwarts lake were actually a beach and connected to the oceans, but lakes were isolated. So. He was wrong. Kinsay made a face to convey her thoughts. Mhm.

She turned to look at him when he sat (though she was still laying on her stomach) and gave him the tiniest of smiles.

Only then he got all confused again and Kinsay was, once again, unimpressed. Hufflepuffs needed to do better, obviously. "Nooo, he's Mr. Henry," she replied firmly. "And I know because my brother said." And Teddy was obviously the authoritative source here. "Besides, Stephen would be a silly name for a squid." She didn't even have to say the same for Declan because that much ought to be obvious. Gosh. As for Cal's Henry theory? "I think he's named after the squid." It was already decided.

Anyway, she had an idea now so she popped up with excitement! "Maybe if we call him, he'll hear us and come say hi?" She also had a point to prove now.

Oh no.

Oh no oh no oh no.

The moment she stood up, Sammy knew what was going to happen. The deep sinking feeling inside of him wasn't telling him otherwise. His mouth hung open but there wasn't anything he could say. What was he supposed to say? Sorry? That he didn't mean what he'd said? But that wasn't true.

And yet.......

The Ravenclaw stared in shock at her reaction and then, as she...... started to leave?! No. This was not happening. They hadn't sorted out anything. They were supposed to talk it out, maybe make a joke or two, and then promise to stay friends. So why was this going like this? Why was she-

"EMM! EMM!"

She didn’t want to talk things out, or make jokes or give any promises of anything. In fact, she didn’t even want to hear him say her name—yet another first she wasn’t sure how she felt about. It hurt too much and she was only so strong.

Rather than stop, the Gryffindor began taking more determined steps to get away. There wasn’t anything he could say to make this better, nothing she wanted to hear that would make her heart sore and her forget the last 10 minutes.

The only thing she had to offer was a particularly loud sob that she hadn’t managed to stifle in time and she cursed herself for it.

But even then, she didn’t stop.

Emmerson wanted her bed and her mama. She was otherwise done.

What even was the difference between squids and octopus.....es? Was that the right plural? He'd never seen either of them up close and the whole description made them sound rather similar. Octupusses???? Octopi????? Octopy????? Cathal would have to find someone to ask. Maybe not Kinsay, though. She probably thought he was a bit mad to begin with.

Did the Giant Squid Possibly Known As Henry like pebbles? He could give the thing one, as a welcome offering. If there really was such a thing in the lake.
Cal still thought it might be a possibility that they had left.

"How many of you are here????" And had they told her everything about Hogwarts? Because he'd like some more info, please! But not all of it, he liked the mystery of it all too. "How does your brother know then? Did he meet the Squid? Or octopus?" He paused. "Are we certain 'tis a squid, like? Dead certain, like?" Double checking!

Kinsay knew the difference! She also knew how to spell Octopi. Kinsay knew lots of things, you see. But Cal was right to keep these concerns quiet because she did already think he was a bit mad. Not in a terrible way though. In fact, Kinsay decided that she'd even want to be friends with him.

"Me and Teddy and Phoebe," she smiled PROUDLY. "They're twins." And the best people Kinsay ever knew. "I have cousins here too. Coralee and Cooper." Maybe Cal would meet them soon if he hadn't already. They were all the best kind of people. As for Teddy actually meeting the squid? Kinsay didn't really know. "Um. Maybe," but she didn't want to say she didn't know.

Also. Why did he keep doubting her!! "Super certain," she assured him with a nod. "Help me call him so you can see!" She waved her hand, urging him to go first.

most go mad within weeks

Taunts, shouts, and maniacal laughter echo across the lake as tent after tent is set up along the edge of the dark, chilly water. Black smoke wafts up into the sky from several bonfires, fueled by wood and pages from those muggle studies books you might've noticed missing from the library. This is Neo-alliance territory now and not even the giant squid could argue otherwise. Steer clear if you know what's good for you. Tent city is here to stay.

June wanted to steer clear. That was ALL she wanted to do.

But it was just so hard to look away from this mess. Part of her also wasn't all that keen on finding any students stumbling about the lake and finding themselves in trouble with the invaders.

So, she was there - away from getting in the invader's way, pretending to be tending to some water hyacinths but honestly just keeping a watchful eye of the AWFUL scene.

Camilo also knew that he should steer clear, but found himself walking toward the new tent city by the lake when he saw what was happening. These alliance followers had the audacity to move into the school and take over the grounds! Why couldn’t their leader choose somewhere else as the base of operations??

He would have walked up to the invaders and said something stupid if he hadn’t spotted June nearby. Grateful that someone older wiser was here, he changed his plan and headed toward her. “Can’t do anything to make them leave, can we?” he said quietly, bending down to pretend to observe the water plant.

Grateful that someone older wiser was here, he changed his plan and headed toward her. “Can’t do anything to make them leave, can we?” he said quietly, bending down to pretend to observe the water plant.
Lost in thoughts, June nearly jumped at the sudden arrival of Aguilar. "No," she sighed with a slump in her shoulders.

"But - if it were up to me, instead of the wood - their tents would be on fire right now"
June grumbled, eying the bonfire the maniacs were sitting near.

"I am just so .... worried about the children"

Uh YES. He completely agreed with her. It looked like they were burning some books too - probably ones about Muggle-Wizard connections. Could they change the wind direction slightly to make those tents catch fire? He briefly entertained this idea, but knew that the only real consequence would be him being set on fire next.

"Me too," he sighed and sat down next to June. "I hate that they have to suffer through this."

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Everything sucked. It was true. Which was why Ash was sitting alone, with her knees to her chest, staring into the dark depths of the lake. She was singing a comforting song- actually, it wasn't comforting, just expressive.

"It's a mask it's a lie it's the only home I've ever known
cause being who I really am
has only left me more alone
I am not okay"


She skipped a rock and continued the song. And then she just stopped and laid down and looked at the sky, because that was the only thing she felt like doing. It was a gray sky. Figures. She sighed loudly, breathing in the fresh air. These alliance people were so dumb. They talked about how muggles hurt wizard children, and never about how wizards hurt wizard children. After all, Ash WAS a witch, and they hurt her. Therefore, their logic was dumb. She looked back up at the sky. Maybe the sky was gray because it was an alliance follower. The sky said nothing. "Shut up, sky," she said. Crazy? Yes. But Ash didn't care. She could yell at the sky, and that was safer than yelling at a person.

Ilya was reading the book he had started last week, and since the Music classroom wasn't an option all the time viable. Sometimes he preferred walk-reading if you want to call it that. The Lake was his favourite location outside, even in the winter, so he bundled up in his coat over his uniform, his scarf and hat and went outside. His Metamorphagus was not showing today, his mood and urges have been calm thankfully, so he was sporting his natural (??) blonde hair and blue eyes as he walked down the path.

The book was in his hand, open, as his eyes ran through the lines. However, he heard a small voice to his right at one spot, it was a song first. Ilya hesitated and looked sideways at one of the small Ravenclaws he must've seen in the common room before. She looked familiar. She was talking to the sky-- she was scolding the sky, actually. This was a second small weird Ravenclaw, were they always like this? Was HE ever like this? He didn't remember, he refused to believe so. "The sky won't listen." He provided, approaching her but not sitting down. "You shouldn't be out here all alone. Especially not when you expect to have a dialogue with the sky." He was a sarcastic jerk, but he did have a heart, thank you very much. And with them small children depressed everywhere recently, it was hard to keep his heart at bay.

"I'm not having a dialogue with the sky," Ash informed the guy. "I am taking out my emotions at the one thing that won't try to kill me when I'm mad at it." It was smart. Also, she was lying down, and he was standing up, so as a threat response, she stood up too. She was only five foot four at the moment, but that was much better than lying down. "I don't want the sky to listen or talk back," she said, softly. "I want it to ignore me. Just an insane child who has burned down too many things. Not a threat, and not someone who deserves to die." She stuck her hands in her pockets. "Just once, I want everything to ignore me. Which I have apparently failed at." Should she be out here alone? No, which was why this kid was here, apparently. Problem solved. She squinted at him. Was he a cultist in disguise? "I'm Ash," she said, unsurely. She was far from a nickname basis with this potential murderer, but she just went by Ash now. It was practically her name. It was fitting. She burned stuff down, her life was burning down, and she was missing the important life stuff. No. Ashley was too long and too normal. Ash was short, and depressing, and referenced fire. Yeah. She was Ash now. But who was this? She narrowed her eyes. "You are?" And if he answered in a way she didn't like, she was absolutely gonna run for it. Stranger danger. Maybe he was Emmerson in disguise.

This one was feisty, wasn't she? Ilya's eyes stuck on her as she spoke... and spoke... got up... and spoke. She was almost as annoying as Bernie was when she was her age. He remembered those times fondly- fondly because he was still avoiding Bernie this year because of all the complicated stuff going on in his mind. The girl surprisingly was making sense, though. Wanting to be ignored? That meant she was seeking peace, wasn't she? He wondered briefly why she was so tormented over whatever was going on in school. For him, it wasn't that big of a deal because--get that-- it didn't affect him directly. He stayed out of the way and hoped for the best.

"Ilya. Listen, Ash, I think you're overthinking things." He provided his name automatically, and focused on the second half of the sentence. "And what do you mean burned down too many things?" Was this an analogy or did he have an actual disaster maker on his hands?

"What am I overthinking? The world sucks. And that's just true." It was. She became a witch, got possessed, and now was getting held hostage. She failed to see where she was overthinking anything. She couldn't even bear to think that much. "I mean I have actually burned down a lot of things. On purpose." Sort of. She burned down a forest while possessed, and then she burned down a daydream on command in DADA. But fire was her weapon of choice, apparently, because everyone else had resorted to trickery. She didn't care much about tricking anything. She was told to destroy the house. And destroy it she did. It was also her fault that she had dueled a sixth year and get set on fire. And she may have wanted to set people on fire at times. Ahem. "Fire proof robes are helpful." She shifted. Now she really looked insane. Ah yes. The extremely talkative pyromaniac who yells at the sky and kicks walls when nobody is looking. That's normal.

Default Waddles and any student that wants out and about
Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...

Cassie was doing what she was told, after the time in the office she was trying to keep a balance. Helping the students and keeping out of the line of fire of the squad and the other followers that now cluttered their beautiful grounds. She was thankful for these moments when she could take students out on the grounds for their time of exercise or whatever you want to call it. She at times got to have a few moments to talk with them and make sure they were doing alright. She was trying to come up with some plan to help them and she hoped they took pieces of lessons from any of the professors to use when they could.

Moving over towards the lake Cassie looked into it. She thought about all that was in there. The beauty of the creatures as well as the evil, it certainly was how she felt about the castle this year. So much evil all over, but there was always hope when you looked for the helpers in any situation and she knew that the helpers could come little or big, human or creature, she just had to keep hope.

Out for her daily walk--was this how family pets felt?--Mamie was immediately eager to talk to her head of house. She did not think the guards would mind her having a perfectly normal conversation with a professor, who was also her head of house, who taught a class Mamie admittedly was only okay at.

Like, Divination was better than History of Magic, but...it was on par with potions, probably. In terms of her enjoying or being any good at it.

"Professor Kitridge, hello," Mamie greeted the woman. "I have a question about divination." Which wasn't exactly true...but also not exactly a lie...but definitely should alleviate any concern any of those guards might have about her talking with the professor.

She was deep in thought even though she was watching the students as well. She didn't want to be right over them all the time though, she knew they were having a rough go and she wanted them to get
a little freedom even if she had to make it out as if they weren't.

When one of her little badgers came closer she gave her a weak smile, "Hello Mami" She looked back at the lake scanning the area for any forms of life or movement, though she felt the thoughts of the creatures within.

"Sure, what can I help you with?"

Mamie was not super trustful of any of the professors lately, except Williamson, but Gemma's mother surely wouldn't snitch on her. Kitridge wasn't like that. Mamie glanced casually over her shoulder again, then looked at where her head of house was looking, but it was just the lake. Maybe she did not want to make eye contact, for Neo-Alliance reasons. Oh well.

"I was thinking about that clothing divination we did last term," Mamie said quietly. "What was that called again?" See. She hadn't been lying, her question really had been about a divination class. Not for the purposes of learning divination, though, no. "How did you get all the clothes to fit anyone right, without knowing who would try them on?"

Her growth spurt, combined with general Room fatigue and dirt, was making all of her clothes miserable. Nothing fit right anymore. Darn adolescence.

Cassie loved talking about her lessons, so when Mamie asked about last term she couldn't help but smile. Clothes were such a fun topic anyway and a great distraction from what was going on. "Oh you mean Stolisomancy, yes, that was a fun lesson and I enjoyed watching everyone pick out different items. It really got to show all personalities, something I tend not to see in just lessons." It was a great lesson and she felt many of them loved the fashion show, maybe if they all survived this the puffs could get a fashion show going sometime.

"Oh well I just guessed really and tried to come up with a different variety. I bet some of the older students even just charmed them to fit. You know you can make clothes out of any object and size them as well." She wasn't sure if second years learned those spells yet or not, but it would be a great one for her to know. "I could show you if you don't know how to do it."
