Despite the other areas on the first floor that Professor Romanos clearly takes time to look after, the defense classroom looked quite unused, as it has been for the passed years. The tables and desks were pushed to the side, covered with dust, giving a wide open area in the middle of the room. Cobwebs were forming in the corners of the ceiling and the windows were overdue for their monthly shining, giving the room a dim look. A few defense and creature books were stacked and scattered here and there, not particular interesting enough to catch someone's eye. The most important looking object in the room however, was the large trunk snuggled towards the back of the room. It rattled and shook while the top bounced open every now and then. It was rather clear that the trunk was not locked and whatever waited inside was eager to come out.
