[Desdemona]

There was no Floor negative twelve in Hogwarts. There just wasn’t—or was there? Deep, deep in the dungeons lay a hidden corridor, that led to a flight of steep, crumbling stairs that caused you to stand on your toes and lean precariously over them so you wouldn’t tumble down—as odd as it sounds. The passageway reached after the awkward journey on the stairs was darker than death, and lighting spells refused to work. One had to feel their way down the hall, sharpen their senses. But, one would notice, that if you kept walking, and walking, you ended up back at the top of the treacherous stairs. How did this happen? No one really knew—no one ever got past the dark hallway that led them in circles.

{ Please DO NOT post about getting past the circle-thing. Only two people know how to get past it--and their knowledge is strictly OOC. This floor was made specifically for plotline purposes and plays a very important role. I just felt that I owed more to everyone than just saying, "Hey, this is going to happen in five minutes!" and an explanation to the random floor addition. }
