FINISHED Wampus Den-Term 12

Just to the right of the fifth torch, the wall is an illusion. There is no actual door into Wampus, though that doesn’t mean anyone can just walk in. Wards are in place to keep out unwanted guests.

If students of other houses simply wished to try and wander in, they would find a solid wall and no entry at all. Were someone to try and pass the entry with the intent to do harm to those within, the walls of the castle will slam shut on them, crushing them. Only those with the password may enter.



Our password is Imperium.

As Wampus students step through the wall, the Wampus Common Room opens up before them. The right wall is lined with tall windows that look out over the mountain and forest outside. Two roaring fireplaces stand at each end of the room, casting long shadows on the dark crimson walls. The walls themselves are lined with various weapons, some familiar at least by sight, but others were fantastical in design and obviously from faraway lands.

Alongside them are the weapons forged by each Wampus student during their first year. Below, against the dark wooden paneling stand bookcases and desks. Deep, dark leather couches and chaises are gathered in various groups around the room with plenty of light to read by, and relaxing scents for scholarship.

There is a picture of a panther-like cat on one wall. This is the Wampus, a magical cat which is described as fast, strong, and nearly impossible to kill.
The Wampus cat is has yellow eyes, and can walk on its hind legs. It is extremely fast and powerful, and is reputed to have powers of hypnosis and legilimency. Wampus hair can be used as a wand core.

This is the Common Room. A place for you to relax, work on your studies and socialize. If you need a place to vent your frustrations, take it to the forge. Slamming a hammer into heated iron is a great stress reliever. The doors on either side of the southern fireplace lead to two hallways, and the dorms are down there.
