Neep lanterns were new to me, too, but they seemed to fit so I went with them. LOL Thanks!

I love how careful she is (much more than Dumbledore ever was) about the students and Hogwarts responding in kind. Lovely.

I think that Minerva's style of care for the school and students will definitely be different than Dumbledore's, though no less heartfelt and careful. :D Thank you!

OH I don't know if I'd call careful anything Dumbledore or Minerva did in cannon.

Dumbledore: There's a super duper secret on the third floor corridor, don't go there, did I mention it's super duper secret? Well, it'll stay that way so don't go there.

Minerva: We have a murderer loose in the Forbidden Forest, so detention will be sending first years into the Forbidden Forest with a man charged with murder when he was a student, who has no wand and isn't supposed to do real magic. See ya later!

I know Snape was a horrible teacher, but as a parent, I'd rather have someone who screams at my kids than one who sends them into fatal situations. LOL

You've painted a beautiful scene here, and the Room of Requirement - love it.

Well done.
