Opening the door, you come into a large, airy office. There are drapes of silk over the open windows to give the room a rather pleasant orange glow, not to mention air out the place.
In one corner, is Professor Maline's desk and chairs either side, pictures of family, and close friends litter the wall beside it, lazily tagged up by pins, and momentos of previous happenings like ribbons, and tickets are dotted about between the pictures.
In the other corner, sofas and arm chairs are placed around a coffee table with several refilling plates of cookies spread about. Mugs of hot chocolate, and glasses of juice are beside the cookies, and next to one of the couches, is a crib, for the very teenage Perry, Professor Maline's spider monkey.
The whole place looks far to clean to be a office of a Care of Magical Creatures Professor, but taking another look you realise that just by her desk is a door, leading to a room full of Animals, around the light fittings, are several snakes, and Anna, the snake of Professor Malines' is curled up on a bean bag beside Ophelia's desk. The door is open for you to just walk in.
