Abandoned Commons

As the name suggests, the Abandoned Commons are just that, Abandoned. It is unclear which House, if any used to reside in this area that is still guarded by the suits of armor in the northern corridor just past a large mirror with the Hogwarts crest wrought into the silver frame. If one challenges the suits of armor to a fight and then pulls the arm of the suit on the left, a door will appear in the empty area and they can proceed inside. Once inside, the door will again disappear on the outside but not from the inside. The first room is what looks like used to be the common room, there are empty dusty painting frames on the walls, a cold, long unused stone fireplace, dusty velvet black couches and arm chairs all to the right of the entrance. To the left there is an old table with a few chairs around it still and a cob web covered bookshelf. Passed this bookshelf is a staircase that winds up to two separate dormitories, the spells that usually prevent boys from entering a girls dorm are no longer in effect here so anyone who is wandering about can come and go freely from room to room. Most of the dormitories are covered with inches of dust, the beds, hangings and other furniture all in perfect condition just aged considerably and occasionally covered in old cobwebs. This is a popular place for those who know about it as a means of hiding from Filch or if someone needs a private place for some sort illegal potion brewing or such.
