Giant oak front doors stand impervious against the elements, sheltering the cavernous expanse of the Entrance Hall. A checkered black and white tiled floor spreads out to each wall, met in the centre of the room by a majestic, white marble staircase leads to the upper floors, almost gleaming in the wash of bright light from the torches which generously line the walls. An enormous notice board stands against one wall, surrounded by a group of students, whilst the other wall houses the gigantic hour glasses which continually rack up the house points as they are given or taken away.
