Not far from the entrance of the fifth-floor corridor stands a statue of Boris the Bewildered. Even though there is a statue present in dedication to the man, not much is known about him these days. Just by looking at his expression, it appears that he is either very lost or someone just Confunded him. Though, perhaps, this observation will not come as a surprise to you. After all, the old man is wearing his gloves on the wrong hands.

Hopefully you are faring significantly better than the statue standing before you. In general the statue is used as a landmark for prefects and Quidditch captains, serving as a gentle reminder that their exclusive bathroom is just a few doors down. If you are not a student leader, however, the statue might be viewed as yet another of those silly things that reside inside the castle and be deemed as something not worth investigating further. Though, if you ever need a casual meeting place, Boris will always be there to help you out even if he hasn't got a clue who you even are.

Professor Leroy, dressed as smartly as usual but for some bizarre reason sporting a trilby hat he had acquired from somewhere, had no reason to be patrolling the upper floor of Hogwarts other than because he could. He’d never been particularly fond of the choice in statue that he’d found himself in front of either. The man was a fool and no one was sure why such a dedication had been made to someone of insignificance but it was here and it had become a sort of historical landmark that it would be strange to lose it.

“Greetings, old chap” the muggle studies professor tipped his hat to the statue in a formal greeting as if the statue would talk back.
