Regular Defence Against on-the Rare Dark Arts of Hogwarts Teacher's Office

This office was typically reserved for the incumbent Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was located off of the second-floor corridor of Hogwarts Castle, near a staircase to the first-floor corridor. - "They marched Lockhart out of his office and down the nearest stairs, along the dark corridor where the messages shone on the wall, to the door of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom." Its décor and contents varied greatly depending on the occupant. It also had an adjacent storage room.
==History==
It is unknown when professors began to occupy this office.
===1991–1992===
Professor Quirinus Quirrell used this office during the 1991–1992 school year. He had African tribal masks hung on the walls, alongside a large bookshelf with not only books, but what appeared to be skulls. He had a telescope facing the window, and turbans and cushions strewn on the floor.
===1992–1993===
Gilderoy Lockhart used this office during the 1992–1993 school year. He decorated it with pictures of himself, and offered its usage to Dumbledore for examining the petrified Mrs Norris. He also held a detention session with Harry Potter in the room. He vacated the office when he was pressured by his colleagues to enter the Chamber of Secrets, to save Ginny Weasley. At this time he stripped down his own office in an attempt to escape, only for Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley to confront him in his office, resulting in him revealing his fraudulence and cowardice, and with Harry disarming of him of his wand when he attempted to erase their memories with the Memory Charm, and Gilderoy drop the wand onto the office's floor.
