[ hermione's brain begins to whirr. she'd known, of course, about the lanterns. it was the first thing anyone told her — to guard her lantern far more than she'd apparently guarded her own life. but that shouldn't be a reason to avoid the water altogether. what would happen if navigation by boat was necessary?

she could experiment with containment charms, perhaps a tweak on the ebublio jinx? surely there was something on waterproofing charms in one of the books she'd packed. ]


Grindylows are small water demons, reminiscent of octopi with their tentacles, and coloured pale green to blend in with lake sprouts and algae. They are native to Great Britain, however, so I suppose that might be why they aren't common here.

[ or perhaps, since it is dark, no one has ever seen them. or no one has wandered into the lake to find out. ]
