Opaleye Study Number Three, A Song By the Lake was a portrait of an Antipodean Opaleye that was painted by Badeea Ali during the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]
The painting was created by Badeea Ali with the assistance of Jacob's sibling in order to lift Rubeus Hagrid's spirits after having to deliver an Antipodean Opaleye egg to the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. Jacob's sibling and Badeea used the Opaleye living in the Desert Dunes section of the Magical Creatures Reserve as a subject for the painting. After the restless Opaleye had flown away from the orchard at The Burrow, Jacob's sibling and Badeea received a message from Barnaby Lee that claimed that the Opaleye had returned to Hogwarts and had landed by the Forest Lake in the Forbidden Forest. Upon arriving at the Forest Lake, the pair found the Opaleye, along with Barnaby and Knarl. Barnaby stated that he found the dragon while taking Knarl for a walk in the forest, to which Jacob's sibling and Badeea informed him of their plan to paint the dragon for Hagrid. Badeea decided that the Forest Lake would be a good backdrop for her third attempt at the painting, but lamented that the dragon wasn't paying attention to them and that they had run out of steaks to draw its attention to them.[1]
However, Jacob's sibling remembered that Barnaby would sing to Knarl to get its full attention, suggesting that Barnaby could sing to this Opaleye to attract its attention while Badeea painted it. Jacob's sibling suggested a song for Barnaby to sing to the dragon and, upon being offered to by Barnaby, joined in on singing to the creature while Badeea continued to paint. After they had finished singing one song to the dragon, the pair got ready to sing to it again before it became restless and flew away once again. While Badeea was able to paint the whole body and tail of the Opaleye, she still thought the painting was incomplete. When Barnaby asked if Badeea could paint something like her current work for him one day, Badeea offered him the third study painting, which Barnaby gladly accepted.[1]
