With its narrow and spiraling set of stairs, the Divination stairwell is one of the largest staircases in the entire Hogwarts castle and one of the few that does not feel the need to change for any reason. At the top is a small dark marble stone landing where, if one steps on the correct zodiac sign for that given month, a trap door on the ceiling will reveal itself and a ladder with descend that then can be ascended to grant access to the Divination classroom. The walls are cluttered with tapestries and portraits of every variety from malevolent to sinister and the stained glass windows lining the walls along the stairwell reflect brilliant arrays of rainbow color in the sunlight and muted tears on the faces assembled within during rainy days.

Nothing in particular peculiar around these parts, save for the fact that the floors and banisters look so freshly polished and lacking any sort of shoe scruffings that one would be lead to believe these stairs had not been used in months. A few cobwebs clinging to the rim of the rounded ceiling help add to this aesthetic.

Well, perhaps you at least found yourself a quiet place to study that is off the beaten path? Assuming those portraits and tapestries leave you to your business, that is.
