Sixth Floor Professor Office

This office is located on Hogwarts Castle's Sixth floor. Once used by then-Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Galatea Merrythought, it is now used by Horace Slughorn, Potions Master. Its use after Professor Merrythought's retirement in 1945 in not known, although it can be assumed that it was left unnoccupied, as when Albus Dumbledore negotiated with Horace Slughorn that the latter resume his post of Potions master at Hogwarts in 1996, Slughorn demanded that he receive this particularly large office, implying that no other teacher had been using it. Fairly roomy, this office included a fireplace with two large sofas surrounding it, a round dinner table big enough to sit ten people and access to a private balcony. It had enough space to hold a Christmas party.
