Well here we have it. The Teacher's Lounge room is complete. Just forget your troubles, students and worries and come in here to relax.  The lounge is of course much larger than this picture. With many rooms branching off of it, including beds in some of them, for those of you teacher's who's offices may not be suited for you. Enjoy!

 Professor Kay— Apparition Class & Flying Class
Walking into the new and refurbished lounge room which was made just for the teachers a sigh of relief came out. Finally, it's finished. Realising that none of the teachers had arrived and seen how beautiful the room was i thought to myself that i should make it worth while. I dropped my birefcase, took off my cloak and ran to my room. My room looked amazing. The furniture was antique and golden, the ceiling had a large chandelier coming down, the walls were painted a crystal blue colour, the carpet was a white snowy colour, there was a large Gryffindor crested printed on the carpet, my full name was printed on the wall above my bed, my bed as brown and antique and my bedsheets were a light crystal blue to match the walls. My cupboards and my desk were a shiny beige colour. It was truly amazing like a room in a castle. I jumped on my bed and threw my pillows in the air, catching them and repeating. It was the best feeling ever. My bed was so comfortable and within seconds it was already messy. I settled down, fixed my bed, tidied up my room and walked back out.
I took my book out and sat down on the red velvet couch. I began reading my book titled, The Malfoys.

Professor Volkova surveyed her surroundings with a curious eye. The new staff lounge was nice. Though the decor was not to her tastes at all. Callysto shrugged mentally, it sure beat the alternative of sleeping in the Slytherin common room, or-- Merlin forbid --her classroom.
The young professor wandered the adjoining rooms until she came across one she liked. It was a quaint little room, with dark wood walls and furniture; and accented with an obviously Slytherin color palette. One wall featured a wash basin and a mirror. The opposite wall held a large portrait of a man she did not recognize. The farthest wall was mostly covered with thick green drapes which Callysto could only assume hid a large window. In the middle of the room two comfortable arm chairs were arranged neatly next to a decent-sized end table. The only thing the room lacked, it appeared, was a bed. Though, a nice place to have tea, I suppose. Callysto thought, and almost as immediately a teapot and cup appeared in the center of the low table. Oh, joy. The head of Slytherin grinned, picking up the teacup. Earl gray, hot. Just the way she preferred it too, no sugar but just a hint of milk.
Callysto strode to the curtained wall, teacup in hand, intent on seeing what kind of view she'd have. The hand currently not holding the cup grasped the drapes and pulled them back. To her surprise, she was not looking outside, but at a depressed bed. It was a large bed too, it would certainly be comfortable for someone of her stature. And perhaps a guest, her mind supplied.

Hearing that the new teachers lounge, no not lounge this space was much more than that, this space was more like a teachers common room. It had the "basic" well far from basic but you get my point, gathering space where the teachers could mingle with each other, read and relax, and then we each had our own bed rooms in which to well sleep and/or other *cough* activity's.
Once inside the new lounge I was meet with something far different from the rest of the castle, the decor of the room had a distinctively Muggle appearance to it. It was like one stepped from a medieval castle and into the Versailles or even Buckingham Palace. The drastic change it decor was a little off putting at first, but after some time inside the room started to grow on me. I spotted Professor Kay sitting on one of nearby couches reading so instead of interpreting his reading I just have him a polite nod and continued to explore our new living space.
It didn't take me long to find my room, a small Gyffindor crest was embedded in the door as well my name. Pushing the door opened I stepped into the room the castle had built for me. It was fairly large room, a large book shelve ran along the left wall, no doubt full of D.A.D.A books. A large rug adorned the floor, it was crimson with gold fringe around the edges. A large wooden desk sat in the middle of two large windows at the far side of the room. There were a few chairs placed in front of the large book shelve, and much to my delight one of those chairs was in fact the large cushioned chair from the Gryffindor common room, my favorite chair out of the whole common room. I walked over to the chair and ran my hand along the top of it and smiled. Continuing my investigation of the room I soon noticed a few portrait along the walls, I only recognized the one, the 'patron' as it where of Gyrffindor House, Godric Gryffindor himself.
The final item in my room to get looked over was the large king sized bed that sat with the headboard up against the door to my room. It was an impressive looking bed much like the four post frames that we had up in the common room but much larger, the posts on this bed where a good twelve inches around and highly decorative. The curtains that where drawn back, where were thick and had that same ornate feeling that the rest of the teachers lounge had. The sheets and quilt where crimson and made of the softest material I had ever touched. Jumping on the bed I soon learned that it felt very much like the Muggle Tempur-Pedic mattresses. This would be a great place to live and sleep, but it had one major downfall, Aludra wouldn't be able to visit me here. Sliding off the bed, and giving the room another once over, it was decided while I'd visit this room from time to time, I would still resided on the 2nd floor above the Auror's office. It may be farther away from the castle but I had my fireplace there linked to the one in my office on the 3rd floor here, so it was just a matter of a few steps and I'd be back into the castle in a flash.
With my curiosity satisfied I left my room and closed the door, and headed back to the main lounge area. When I emerged into the space I saw that Kay was still reading, giving him another polite nod I when to investigate the mini kitchen space we had. Opening and closing various cabinet, I soon discovered something that would make Ayamae a very happy lass, this cabinet was full of various types of booze. Thinking that I should share my discovery I turned my head so I was looking over at Kay and said, "Sorry for the interruption Kay but you might want to see what I just discovered."

"It seems that Hogwarts want's its Professor's to have a good time this cabinet," reaching inside the cabinet I pulled out a random bottle and showed it to Kay, "is full of booze. If you can name it, it looks like its in the this cabinet." Placing the bottle back into the cabinet I jokingly said, "we may have to keep this door locked and not tell Ayamae about what's in this cabinet, she would have a field day with all this stuff."

My jaw dropped. The Lounge room really did have everything. There was a cabinet full of booze and wine, a fridge full of delicious food and a pantry full of tasty treats. Nodding confusingly to Kenneth and not even paying attention to what he said about Ayamae i took a bottle out of the cabinet and said, Forget Ayamae. I think we should have a drink. Just to celebrate the opening of this lounge. What do you think? I said to Kenneth with a laugh.

"I thought you'd never ask," I said grinning as two goblets appeared from no where. Handing one of the goblets to Kay I waited for him to get the bottle open. "Oh wait we need another glass," I said as I conjured up another glass, "we can't forget about Callysto she's still looking around her room."
Setting my goblet down on the bar I headed down the hall toward the bed rooms and shouted, "HEY CALLYSTO, WE FOUND SOME BOOZE, HOW ABOUT A DRINK!" Hopefully she heard my shout and would join us if she so wished to. Walking back to the bar I said to Kay, "Alright get that cork out and fill them up."

Ayamae bursts through the door to the lounge with a wild look on her face. "MY WINO SENSE WAS TINGLING..." Her eyes flicker to the cabinet where Kenneth stood with a bottle and some glasses. She walks over to the cabinet, and reaches for a bottle of merlot. "COME TO MAMA!"

Now we're talking. I said to Kenneth as he conjured 3 goblets. I placed the goblets on the dinner table and poured an alcholic drink in to all of them. I didn't even look at what i was pouring in the cups and once i did i said, Ah, Daisyroot Draught. I've heard this tastes just like daises and apparently it's delicious. Well let's just see. I handed Kenneth the cup and once he was holding it i made a toast to the new teacher's lounge room and a place to get away from all the annoying students. Drink up. I said to Kenneth as i drank my goblet. But then Ayamae stormed through the room and walked to us. She pulled out a bottle of alcohol and began drinking. Man we teachers love to drink. I said to both of them as i put my cup down.

"Daisyroot Draught? I've never had that before, hopefully it'll taste good" I said as I took the goblet back from Kay. Raising my goblet in a toast I said along with Kay, "to the new teacher's lounge room and a place to hide from the students." Before tipping the goblet back and taking a small drink. It was rather nice and smooth, so I tilted the goblet back further and took a more hardy drink this time.
As I pulled the goblet away from my lips I saw Ayamae bursts through the door with a wild look on her face. 'Oh no its like she's one with the booze and can sense it out where ever its hidden' I thought to myself as she walked straight over and pulled out a bottle of merlot. I couldn't help but laugh as the scene played out. Hearing Kay's comment about drinking I could help but think it true, "I guess your right Kay, it seems we all love the booze," looking over at Ayamae I smiled and finished, "some more than others."

Callyso's ears perked at the sound of someone yelling about booze. Lovely. She set her teacup down on the short table and it disppeared with a clink, as well as the teapot. Booze, booze, booze. The half-elf exited her room and strolled back into the common area. "What's all this about booze then?" She asked with a delicious grin on her face.

Finishing my first goblet of Daisyroot Draught I smacked my lips and reached to pour me another goblet full when Callyso emerged into the room with us. "Ah Callyso you heard me after all, it seems that Hogwarts knows the pain the students can cause on our minds and has provided a proper solution to it." Turning around I opened the cabinet to show Callyso all the booze it held. "As you can see we are very much stocked up on various types of booze to last for awhile, that is if we learn to drink in moderation." I said eying Ayamae, as she drank her fill from the bottle of Merlot.

"For your information, Kenneth, I have drinking down to a science. We have more than enough booze in stock here, even with my drinking habits, to last us a couple of hundred years. Cuz if you haven't noticed, it's a bit like the muggle orange juice commercials. Allow me to demonstrate." She reaches into the back of the cabinet and pulls out a bottle of wine fresh from someone's private stores. "It's like...Narnia...but better..." She almost cried as she caressed the bottle.
