Not far down the hall from where the writers and editors work is the Editor-in-Chief's office. Like the occupant before him, Editor-in-Chief Erik Vinteren’s office is modern in design. Unlike the previous occupant(s), Mr Vinteren has installed a door, and replaced all of the room's glass walls with reinforced real walls, two of which contain authentic, stylish built-in shelves. Not only are these walls solid in build and useful in design, they also have heavy enchantments placed upon them for Mr Vinteren's safety and peace of mind. The large window which overlooks Diagon Alley, which often has the shade down, is strategically placed so Vinteren can observe the happenings in the Alley when he so chooses.

The office itself appears to be professionally decorated with everything within being black, white, or grey in colour. The desk is a sharply designed glass table with rounded corners; the desk chair is off-white with a thickly padded seat and back; there is a fresh vase full of different white flowers of some kind each day; and the couch in front of the window is also a handsome grey colour, with a soft, suede surface and a unique emblem sewn into each pillow. Each shelf of the surrounding built-ins appears to contain either a book with no title on the spine or carefully cataloged issues of the Daily Prophet and other relevant news publications. No personal items are immediately visible upon the desk, save one silver lamp, nor are there any other indicators that this desk belongs to a certain Hogwarts Governor named Erik Vinteren. The only certainty that this man even exists is the handsome black and silver-etched nameplate outside his door.

When one enters, one immediately realises that this is the office of a professional, and despite the cool colours of the room, it is not the least bit chilly or unwelcoming. It is simply...efficient.

Do be warned, however. Misfortune has been known to plague those who attempt to enter Erik Vinteren's office without at least knocking first.
