Next to the Charms Classroom you will find Professor Schirmer's Office. The office is cozy and bright with a small private library on a mezzanine floor overlooking the office itself. It is all done in warm wood and the window has a lovely view of the grounds. There are several photographs on her desk and hanging on the walls, including her sister and nephews.
To get up to the mezzanine library, there is a sturdy iron ladder built into the inside balcony. Professor Schirmer can often be found up here with her books, and if you are invited you may take a look at the books up here too.
Professor Schirmer does not encourage social visits. She prefers students to make appointments via her magical mailbox. While you may post knocking on the door if you don't have an appointment please be aware that the professor is usually busy and would prefer you to leave a note for her unless you have been invited or if it is an urgent matter. If you are waiting to see the professor, please do so out in the corridor. She will call you in when she is ready for you, as long as you have an appointment.

Please note, I'm still tweaking how I run my office and there's a bit of an amendment to last term! You do not HAVE to make an appointment via the mailbox but please be aware that the professor isn't likely to appreciate someone dropping by without good reason. If your character just wants to say hi or introduce themselves, they should leave a note or say hello to her when she's around and about rather than popping in. It is my intention that Professor Schirmer won't be stuck in her office 24/7. If you have a personal plot which requires your charrie to visit with Professor Schirmer, feel free to PM me about it, or simply drop a note in the mailbox (In character) to make an appointment or have made clear your intention to speak with her.
