As you walk along Hogwart's grounds you will most likely come into contact with the Lake. For all intents and purposes the lake appears harmless and peaceful, but it's depths have hidden dangers. In the lake there are known to be Grindylows- pale green creatures that are aggressive to wizards and Muggles; Merpeople- intelligent and very tall with grayish skin, purplish hair, and long, wild, dark green hair; and the Giant Squid- appears to be friendly with students so far but has enemies within the Merpeople. Also don't be alarmed if you find Moaning Myrtle wandering the lake as she visits once in a while.

Gemma sighed with relief able to stretch her legs now as their group walked from the castle around the grounds. The lake looked like an enormous black mirror. She smiled at the irony-the peaceful waters, looking so serene while underneath the thin surface rested danger. It gave her chills to think about it. She took her hair down, shaking her head and thick black ringlets loosely resting over her shoulders and going down some of her back. It felt so good to be free from classes...at least temporarily.

"This is nice huh?" Lessien asked as she walked over to Gemma. "Great day for a swim. Hopefully we can all remember the incantation for the Grindylows." She smiled, "I wonder if we'll see any Merpeople or the giant Squid. I kind of like the idea of meeting the Giant Squid, he's supposedly nice."

Pippa was laying against a huge oak tree, quietly sleeping with an open teen romance book resting on her chest.
She had come here to relax on her afternoon off from classes and read for a change, but the book had put her to sleep...
Same old romance story time after time. Wasnt there anything new to shake up someone's life other than a phantom theif or something like that?
Occasionally she twitched in her sleep.

"I hope Pippa doesn't sleep through the whole thing. It's be a pity for her to miss the swimming." Lessien nudged Gemma, "You okay?"

"Yeah, just a bit sleepy." she said yawning. "I slept very light last night-kept waking up." She smiled. "I don't know who, but someone snores something awful."
The two girls laughed at this, and when they stopped, Gemma turned to Lessien. "Hold on." She turned back around and ran up to Pippa, kneeling beside her. "Hey Sleepy head."
Pippa's eyes blinked open and she smield lightly. "Oh, hello."
"Come swimming with us!" Gemma said excited.

Lessien snickered, "It was probably Hermoine snoring." Giggling she pulled Gemma and Pippa's hands trying to get them up, "Let's swim. Come on, come on!!" She was excited and wanted to get in the water.

Pippa beamed. "SURE!"
She threw the book to the side- and narrowly avoided hitting someone in the head with it- and raced down to the shore.
She grabbed Lessien and Gemma's hands and jumped into the lake.

Lessien's head emerged from the water and she was smiling, "Who did you almost hit with the book anyways? And where is Nessa and Telery? They were supposed to come out here with us?" With a shake of her head she waited the answers before she swam off.

“Look at those loonies swimming in the lake.” Nessa laughed when she saw them. Kicking off her shoes and getting rid of her knee high socks she sat down and let her legs rest in the cool water. She stretched out, her thick tumble of black hair falling from over her shoulders. Her emerald eyes aligned with silver watched the three coolly and her friendly smile wrapped around her warm ivory face. “How have you guys been doing?” She asked contemplating joining them or sitting where she was.

"Get in here slow poke!" Lessien called with a laugh, "It's warm and everything."
Nessa smiled but didn't get in just yet.
"Come on Nessa......" Lessien swam closer, "Before I start whining."

"Oh, let's just pull her in!" Pippa said, grabbing her wrist, and teetering on pulling her in.
"OH, YOU BETTER NOT, MISS!" Nessa screached and tried to pull her hand away, but teetered too much and fell into the lake on her own accord.
"Or, she can just fall in by herself," Gemma snickered.

Lessien quickly dived underwater to advoid the backlash of Nessa coming to the surface. When she resurfaced she was pleasantly surprised to see Nessa laughing and splashing Gemma and Pippa. Before her friend could notice her, Lessien swam behind her and jumped on her back, "Aha! I got you now! This is what you get for taking so long to get here!! Just wait till Telery gets here because I'm going to dunk her good!" Unfortunately for her, Lessien was laughing so hard she lost her grip and fell back into the water.

When Nessa came up she smirked and went under water to help her get her hair out of her face the weight of it growing heavier because of it. She laughed when she came back up and stared at Lessien. "You know you are going to have to let me help you get her." She said now swimming backwards. "Besides, I had some complications that made it difficult for me to make a hasty arrival."

Gemma's topaz blue eyes twinkled. "I wonder how deep this lake is..." with just a deep breath, she dived under, letting herself sink more as she slimmed down with her arms alligning. She opened her eyes, the water dark yet not black. It was a creepy picture, everything dark and mysterious. When she saw movement toward the bottom, she swam back up to the surface, her normally glossy raven black curls flinging over her head like Ariel.
Her eyes were excited when she excliamed, "Something's down there!"
