Connected to the Armour Gallery, the Trophy Room is where all awards, trophies, cups, plates, shields, statues, and medals are put on display behind crystal glass. Dating back centuries are the numerous achievements that have been made by those who've walked within these walls. When the sunlight shines through the windows and hits the glass just right, the items and names within glimmer and shine oh so bright.
Hundreds of names can be read here, ranging from the great Harry Potter, teachers and ministers of the past, many of today's famous Quidditch players, and more. Carefully looking at all of the names on each individual nameplate, some of you just might even find your parents' names here. Feel free to admire and strive to get your name listed somewhere in this room before you graduate. Just don't press your fingers against the glass or think about having a late-night duel here. You will be sitting here every night for detention until each trophy and plaque in sight is polished to perfection if you do.

Do you have any ideas, Baron?"
He was still looking at the trophy case, reminiscing about past Gryffindor victories, when the Slytherin ghost spoke again. "Of course! It’s only a matter of time " he said. If he could've nodded without his head falling off, he would've. "The next great wizard could be right under our noses." Not literally, of course!
Finally Sir Nicholas, stopped bobbing. It was kind of irritating to watch his half de-capitated head bob from side to side in tune. Sir Bloodiness shrugged "As you wish. 604 isn’t a very important year anyway." Maybe they could break tradition and celebrate his deathday instead or the lady’s? Wouldn’t that be something? Before he could give voice to that thought Nick did the unexpected and asked him for party ideas. Hiding his surprise behind a grumble the Baron barked. "Hrm, can’t you ask the lion students for ideas?"
Turning his staring eyes to the trophy cases again, the Slytherin ghost reminisced about Severus Snape and other Slytherins wins over the years when Sir Nicholas spoke again. The Baron took his time before he responded back with a deep frown "Who among the current student populus do you think is so great?"

Sir Nicholas blinked in reply to the Baron. "Every year is important in its own way," he said. "I merely thought my grand deathday parties might... lose their grandeur after a point." Well, that and he had no idea how he was going to top last year's celebration. "Better mix it up a bit and keep them guessing."
The Gryffindor ghost did not appreciate being barked at and bit back a harsh reply to the Baron's next words - not because he was afraid of him, of course. Sir Nicholas DeMimsy-Porpington had never committed an act of cowardice in his life (or afterlife)! He simply did not wish to sour his mood mood by arguing. "Very well," he replied. "I'm sure they'll have plenty of ideas." He had hoped to get a ghost's perspective on the matter; perhaps he would ask Alfred or dear Lady Helena.
Sir Nicholas stared into the glass case when the Baron's voice jerked him out of a pleasant memory of the famous Harry Potter. "I wasn't thinking of anyone in particular," he replied. A gentleman does not name names, Baron! "I was simply saying any student could have untapped potential we've yet to realize." Take Neville Longbottom, for example. When he first walked through these doors, he was the last person one would've expected to do anything remarkable, and he went on to become a hero of the Battle of Hogwarts. Sir Nicholas smiled to himself, lost in the memory.
