The sheer size of Hogwarts was mind boggling. One could easily become lost amongst the many chambers and halls. Stairs ventured off in different directions, halls that led nowhere, countless doors. The castle was seemingly magically lit, as no hum of electricity met her ears. It was unnaturally quiet but somehow not at the same time. There was a different kind of silence that filled the void; the subtle crackle of flames on torches that lined the walls. Chandeliers and candles. It was never mentioned in the books, so they had to be charmed to burn continuously.
