Dear Diary,
We aren't to go near the lake any more and it appears that whatever is lurking there is quite dangerous. The ministry are going to go and investigate! They are looking for people with experience with magical beasts, and sailing, and exploration and even thise who can speak mermish because there are mermaids in the lake. I want to go because I'm already involved because I found the giant tooth and I know lots about magical beasts but Governess said there is alot more to know and I haven't even gone to Hogwarts yet and can't use magic.

I think I could easily learn what to do if I had a wand or something but since my research hasn't really helped I think that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to find out what's beating up the squid first and then they'll have to take me along. I also told Governess I want to learn Mermish since that could be useful.

Carol
