Tømmerhugger House

Tømmerhugger House is one of the six no-maj houses at Beaversdam Wizarding University. Founded by Throger Tømmerhugger, the Tømmerhugger house favors explorers, adventurers and outdoorsmen.

Students in this house are Adventurous, positive, libertine, cheerful, and like to have a good time. They tend to be gluttons when the the opportunity presents itself.

The house colors for Tømmerhugger are orange and green, Orange representing enthusiasm and excitement, and Green representing adventure on land. The patron planet of the Tømmerhugger house is Jupiter. Students in this house tend to like to party just like the mythological Jupiter.

### Common Room

Tømmerhugger house is located in a 4 story building near the campus's North Gate. To enter the common room, students must name a landmark. This can be a landmark anywhere across the globe and can be man-made or natural, however, the same landmark is the student's password for a month and can not be reused during the same year by that student.

The common room is referred to as the Tømmerhugger Pit, and is located on the north side of the basement of President's Hall.

The color scheme, decor, and furniture inside the Tømmerhugger common room mimic the northern forests. This does not suggest though, that the Tømmerhugger common room doesn't have a welcoming homey feel to it. There are various suede and leather recliners, chairs, benches, and reclining sofas, along with one or two footstools, in the Tømmerhugger common room near the large fireplace. This gives many options for the students to sit and relax after or in between classes.

The common room is usually where parties are held by the Tømmerhugger students. Most often the parties are to celebrate victories of the house sports teams, primarily Football and Hockey. Other various parties that are thrown throughout the school year are the welcome back party at the start of the year, a Christmas party held on the Festival of Santa Lucia, and a farewell party held the week before seniors graduate as their final party in the house. In early spring there are sometimes some bonfire parties held on the school campus hosted by the Tømmerhugger house.

### Dorms

The girl and boy dorms for Tømmerhugger students are set on separate floors. The 2nd and 4th floors are all girls, and the 1st and 3rd floors are all guys.

The dorms are relatively identical for boys and girls. Each student has their own room, with a bed and dresser. There is a single large window in each dorm room. Between the beds and the window, there are small nightstands for students personal effects that don't get placed into their drawer.

Each floor has a bathroom within the dorm. Here the bathroom is only shared amongst the floor. The bathroom is large with showers, toilets and sink. It is advised to students for them to bring a shower caddy to the school with them so they can tote their items to and from the bathroom as needed.

### House Relic

The Tømmerhugger house relic is the Axe of Tømmerhugger and was used by Throger Tømmerhugger when felling the first trees to begin the construction of the Beaversdam Wizarding University. Throger Tømmerhugger was a squib who became high priest versed in nordic tradition and even briefly had a love affair with the Norse Goddess Freya. He later received the axe as a parting gift from Freya during his brief stay in Asgard.

The axe was made by the Thor himself in Nidavelir and was the finest Asgardian axe ever forged. Its handle was made from the wood of Yggdrasil, the great world tree. Any wizard, squib or worthy no-maj can use the axe to summon the bifrost to travel anywhere instantaneously.

The tradition of Asgard says that any Asgardian gifts are returned to Asgard after the passing of a mortal. It works more like a "lifetime lease". However Throger was very clever in hiding the axe. While not a wizard, he was able to adeptly use magical objects. The enchanted fireplace within the attic lounge of Tømmerhugger House proved to be an excellent hiding place for the Axe of Tømmerhugger. The Asgardians have been unable to reclaim the axe of Tømmerhugger as it is so well hidden to present itself only to true and worthy Tømmerhuggers.

The Axe of Tømmerhugger will appear in the fireplace at opportune times when a Tømmerhugger student is most in need of it. After a Tømmerhugger student's time of need has passed the axe disappears and returns to the fireplace where it waits until it is needed yet again.
