Owl Post Secret Term XXVI Activity 3: The Chamber of Secrets

[brightflower]

Activity: The Chamber of Secrets
Points: 10 points participation only
Deadline: June 30, 19:00 UTC (3 PM Eastern Time)
Details: Create your own Chamber of Secrets!

Salazar Slytherin created his own personal chamber deep within the walls of Hogwarts, a chamber so secretive that even his fellow founders had no idea that it existed. What might you create, if you had your own secret Hogwarts room?

You can choose to write a paragraph of at least 100 words explaining what your Chamber of Secrets might look like (and what you might do within its confines), or create a graphic that depicts your room (it can be as simple as a Photoshopped collection of furniture, or a doodle with some basic design). Have fun with it!

If I had my own Chamber of Secrets, I would make sure it was in the dungeons. I would hide riddles and hints around the school about its location, so that once I had left the school, it could be used by worthy students after me.

The chamber would have two rooms. In the main room - a spacious room, warmed by a nice, large fireplace, with soft armchairs near it - there would be large bookcases, with books that have been spelled not to be able to leave the room. The adjoining room would be a bedroom, with a portrait guarding it, with yet another riddle. While more than one person could gain access to the main room if they found it, only one person at Hogwarts at any given time would be allowed access to the bedroom, where there would be the even rarer books, and other artefacts. For study, not for taking. The bedroom ceiling would be like the ceiling in the great hall, and it would be enchanted to see the great lake and the animals living in there (Except the merpeople, because I think they would be angry at that). They couldn't see in the chamber though, nor could anyone in the lake going near it.

It would kind of be a room to relax in, to get away, to study, to do whatever.
