Albus Dumbldore had been Headmaster of Hogwarts for many years and even though the baton had now been passed to Minerva the office still looked mostly as it had in Dumbledore’s day. The desk, chair and visitors’ chairs were the same. The many instruments which had whirred and ticked since Harry’s very first visit to this office were still mostly in place, aside from the ones Harry had smashed at the end of his fifth year. The only change to the office during Severus’ year as Headmaster had been the addition of Albus’ portrait.  Minerva had only changed the furniture around the fireplace the headmistress had created a cosy sitting area with a comfortable sofa and two wing-back chairs and a tartan rug thrown on the back of the sofa.
