The legendary portable swamp created by Fred and George Weasley was once large enough to consume the entire fifth-floor corridor. Needless to say, this greatly irritated the notorious Dolores Umbridge when there were no instructions on how to remove it and the then teachers didn't seem to mind that it was there. Today a small section of the swamp remains, roped off in tribute of the redheaded twins' historic act of protest.
When you are getting close to this reserved section of the corridor, you will know without question. The remaining swamp still smells like an authentic swamp, look like an authentic swamp, bubbles like an authentic swamp, and will indeed suck you in if you cross over the rope and step in it. Avoid the Weasley swamp with care is the best advice you should heed while on the fifth floor, especially if you're running late to class. While it must have been an impressive and humorous sight back in the mid-90's, just praise Merlin that you don't have to make your way across today.

That Maddie girl wasn't kidding. There really was a swamp on the fifth floor.
Ryder leaned in closer over the rope, peering at a bubble that was ready to burst. He'd been by a good few times to head to classes, but never got to stop and inspect it close up for very long. It wasn't as big as he thought it would be, but it was still a living breathing messy swamp. That smelled. Wasn't terrible though. But mix this with a few dungbombs or stink pellets and guess how hard that mess would be to clean up.
"Why'd they leave this here?" Slight chance his bro would know the answer?

Following his brother to the fifth floor, Hunter stared around himself curiously as the place was totally new to him, and he didnt know why his bro was taking them there...which was until he saw what looked like a huge swamp on a corridor.
Eyes huge with wonder, the Gryffindor kid rushed to the edge of the swamp and let out a big "Oooooooooooooooooooooh!!!" of amazement. While Ryder asked a reasonable question, Hunter was wondering if he would be able to step on it but he looked at his bro instead.
Yea, why would anyone leave a swamp here?
The boy frowned as he thought of a good enough reason. "Maybe the professors teach people about swamps here?"
No?

Pffft.
"That would be a stupid lesson," he said, standing back up. Though he'd be lying if he said he wasn't intrigued, just not from an educational standpoint. Taking out his wand, he bent down so he could peer at the swamp from under the rope. That bubble still hadn't popped and it was bugging him. "Teaching about swamp monsters would be cooler."

Reaching out, he poked the bubble with his wand.
'POP'
Yessssss.
Stupid lesson?
Hunter blinked at his brother. Would it have been a stupid lesson? It seemed his brother thought so but it sounded so reasonable him when he mentioned the idea. "But..." why did he say it again? ''But maybe there are people who need to learn about it?" No?
The Gryffindor boy was going to mention how dad thought learning about nature was important but his eyes got widened when he saw Ryder reaching towards the swamp. Immediately he grabbed a fistful of clothes at the Slytherin's back. "Ryder!! What are you doing? " well...it seemed he just popped a swamp bubble but... "What if you fall in?"
And even if that didn't happen, the monsters he just mentioned could get him. Or... "What if a swamp monster or a toad got your wand and snapped it in two? Then you will be one to explain mom why you need a new wand."

The pop of the bubble was so very satisfying, but he couldn't indulge in it for too long since his brother grabbed at his clothes. He wobbled a little backwards before standing up and adjusting his jumper. "Dude," he said, eyeing the green stuff that had landed on his wand. "They wouldn't have left it here if it was dangerous."
...Right?
"Worst case scenario, mom buys me a new wand and new clothes." Didn't seem so bad to him. Can't go to Hogwarts without a wand. "Best case scenario, we can use this stuff to upgrade dungbombs."

Yeaa?? Up for it?
Kalen was once again making the trek down from the Astronomy tower to the library, sometimes he could swear that he would be able to find his way in his sleep. Other days however, like today.. he found himself walking down corridors unknown to him.
He turned a corner and sighed as he saw what was in front of him.
Merlin, he was in the swamp corridor!
And he wasn't the only one.
Kalen slowed to a stop as he saw two young boys playing around the swamp. Hmm.. The Carter brothers? Twins?
"Hello boys. " He said as he stuck his hand in his pockets and looked down at them. "Ahh, I see someone got some swamp on their wand, I can clean it if you like? "
