The office of Aloysius Florent, Auror and provisional Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, is a spacious but austere office with comfortable chairs and a fine oaken desk, but few ornaments and certainly nothing gaudy. Students may come here for detention or after-hours practice.

Aloysius himself is a towering, though lankly-built, Auror in his forties, with dark hair and a gray eye, the other having been lost long ago in the Battle of Hogwarts. He cuts an intimidating figure, what with his eyepatch, imposing appearance, an aloof (though not necessarily hostile, at least most of the time) demeanor, and a reputation as an absolutely merciless opponent of the Dark Arts who cheerfully blew away even surrendering Death Eaters - and he is perfectly happy to keep things that way. The Auror has recently taken a provisional teaching job as Hogwarts's DADA Professor in lieu of the absence of Professor T. Maldow.
