Pre-1992
It is unknown when this office was built, as it was not used by former Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor Galatea Merrythought, who retired in 1945, apparent because Horace Slughorn recieved her old office on the sixth floor when he returned to the school in 1996.

During Remus Lupin's time at the school, he filled this office with an assortment of creatures, including, on one occasion, a grindylow in a tank.

In 1994, Barty Crouch, Jr., disguised as Alastor Moody, used this office to store Moody's many darkness detectors.

Dolores Umbridge changed the office nearly beyond recognition, going so far as to paint it pink and completely remodel it in a frilly fashion.

Severus Snape did not use this office, as he chose to stay in his office in the dungeons.

1997-1998
