As you walk along the fifth floor corridor and pass by a statue of a man with his gloves on the wrong hands, you see a series of identical-looking doors. Hanging on the fourth door to the left of the statue is large portrait that you don't quite recall being there before. The portrait is an enchanted image of people talking and lounging about in a room full of comfortable furniture.

Upon close examination, it would appear that the portrait seems to be hiding a secret of some sort amidst the painted laughter and smiles. But this castle is full of secrets to begin with and full of secrets that really aren't secrets at all, so it's easy to dismiss this portrait as something odd, but nothing more.

Or is there more to this portrait than meets the eye?

In truth, this portrait serves as the doorway to the Prefects' Lounge and is accessible only to the Prefects and Quidditch Captains of each House. The portrait and the people in it will never divulge its secret, though they will relay messages to those inside - if there's anyone inside - in the event of an emergency.
