This dungeon chamber, deep in the bowels of Hogwarts, is suprisingly pleasant: the floor has several ornate carpets laid out.  There are fine couches laid out around the central fireplace, tapestries along the walls, and several chairs for private reading.  There are also low tables for games of Wizard's Chess or to hold books and mugs.  Portraits of House members both distant and recently past sit here and there on shelves (although there are several glaring omissions this year...)  Over the door is a simple shield bearing the crest of the house.<br/><br/>It's quite comfy in here, which would surprise many visitors.  What, you expect the best, brightest, and most highly bred House at Hogwarts to suffer and shiver?  Please!<br/><br/>
