is for that handsome fireplace in the room off of the Great Hall, 
you know the one where the champions went after their name's came 
out of the GoF. This could have been GG's study, back in the day.

(Snip) How's this? You have to pass a challenge proving your 
bravery, and if you do, a Phoenix will be summoned to become your  
faithful pet. This is how DD got Fawkes.

Tonks:
Gosh, I had forgotten that there were so many secret rooms that we 
have already seen. 

I agree with Laura that a Greenhouse sort of room might be the 
Hufflepuff room. Has to be an earthy sort of place. 

I like Mike's idea of the fireplace and idea of Fawkes.  But 
wouldn't the fireplace be in Headmaster's room?  There must be a lot 
of secrets in that room.  And it can seal itself against all 
unauthorized persons.  Plus that Gryffindor door knocker. Has anyone 
seen a fireplace in the headmasters room?  I think there is one in 
all the rooms, given that they do not have central heating.  How 
will Harry find it?  Does McG know about it??
