Oh. My. God.

Finny bottom? Human top? Mermaid! In the lake! Above the water!

I thought mermaids were supposed to be horrifying creatures that dragged people to their deaths...oh, no, wait, those are sirens, but still, I thought mermaids kill people, too!

I know, I know, we're in a wizarding school, no big deal. But has anyone actually seen a

A mermaid? I've never seen one before. Hmm..maybe there is one?

[dib_wizard]

[dinglehopperluv]

Hm hm?

[dib_wizard]

THIS ISN'T PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!

[emperors_friend]

My my, a mermaid on campus you say? How very fascinating. Where precisely did you say you caught glimpse of this mermaid?

((Jade is actually the sort of person that will believe him even if it sounds like he doesn't. xD))

[dib_wizard]

At the lake, sir! She was swimming in it!

((Heeey, Dib might actually like him, then, instead of being afraid of him!))

[emperors_friend]

Oh? I should perhaps look into this to make sure nothing bad occurs. You have heard the tales of those mermaids that are able to sprout legs and live among humans for a time so that they may lure unsuspecting victims and then consume their flesh in its entirety?

((Oh, believe me that he will be terrified of the guy very soon.))

[dib_wizard]

Haven't you ever read Hogwarts: A History?

[[AHAHAHA~~!]]

[dib_wizard]

Yessir, but I mean, she was at the surface! They don't come to the surface, really, do they?

((Dib feels stupid now. D:))

[bobthewizard]

No; that is unusual.

*reading the conversation immediately above* You're going to meet with her, you say? That's odd as well -- do you speak Mermish?

[dib_wizard]

Um, well, no...but I did find a book that sort of translates it!

...A m-mermaid...?!

[kid8dik]

But...

[kid8dik]

How is that balance?! They're half fish and half human! That's completely off! It's a disgusting abomination!! It's NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL!!

[kid8dik]

IT. NEEDS. SYMMETRYYYYYY.

[immiguel]

Mermaid?

[dib_wizard]

Yes, mermaid! Half-human, half-fish creatures who lurk in water!
