 Hall of Statues
 Across the corridor from the Training Hall, two double doors stand partially ajar. A pale light coming from the wall-length windows usually casts a stream of dust-filtered light through the crack in the door, begging curiosity and interest, or perhaps wariness.
Upon entry, stone sentries line the walls down a long, plain hallway. Their level of detail is almost as impressive as the multitude and range of subjects captured in this stone museum. It seems that every and all magical creature, light and dark, have been sealed beneath limestone and marble, in imposing stances that make it seem (at first glance anyways) like they are alive.
Below each statue is a plaque naming and describing the creature in almost as much detail as the stone has visually captured it.
On the walls, hung between creatures here and there, are portraits and paintings. These are a diverse collection of famous wizards, both good and Dark, that history has captured through the ages. Like the statues, plaques hang under these as well, giving a brief biography of the subject.
While the room is curious and intriguing to explore, it is not without purpose. Here, students can study Creatures and wizards up close and in vivid detail, without risk of injury or worse. Need to get to know a zombie? A Lethifold? A dementor? Maybe even one of the many dragons? They were here, waiting for curious and appraising eyes. -------------------------------------------
