.office.
If you want to find Professor Fernandez’s office, you’ll have to go down the hall from the Care of Magical Creatures classroom and up a flight of stairs. And after that, you have to wander around the halls until you find it (at least, that’s what the professor does). The office is situated on the second floor of the castle, and the large oak door is almost always open for one reason or another. The door itself opens inward and stops on the right wall of the office.
The room itself is warm in more ways than one. To the left is a large fireplace that seemed to be always burning as Antonio thinks his office (and Britain in general) is too cold. On the mantel are a few pictures. One has a younger him with Gilbert and Francis trying to stay still long enough for a picture to take. Another picture is of him with some family. Most of the others depict random scenes of him in Spain, each one with someone different. If you look close enough, the pictures are moving (but don’t all pictures in the wizarding world?). Above the fireplace is an ornate mirror. Two tapestries hang from both sides of the fireplace, one of which hides a flight of stairs leading to his living quarters. Most of the decorations and wall hangings use reds, oranges, yellows—almost entirely warm colors.
In the center of the room is a large mahogany desk with an Osborne bull carved in the front center. Facing the desk are two cushioned chairs in case he needs to meet with any students or when guests come in. Near the far edge of his desk, near the chairs, is a tomato plant that just keeps growing all year round. Typically, there will be papers and other work to do scattered across the surface. By his ink bottle, there are a few black dots from Antonio carelessly using his quill. There is a shelf of books specializing on magical creatures to the left on the wall behind his desk. To the right is a shelf of assorted jars, samples, random equipment, and such. Directly behind his desk and between the shelves, a large painting hangs that seems to change every time walks into the office.
The one suspicious thing about the office is the large battle axe hanging on the right wall which Antonio himself is not entirely sure why is there. To the left hangs the school flag, and to the right hangs the house flag of Hufflepuff, his house when he was a student.
.living quarters.
Upon entering the living quarters, one immediately sees a large window facing the lake and a simple oak desk under the ledge. By the desk is a red swivel chair that he insisted on bringing with him. A few paces away from the desk is a short dresser with a tank resting on top for his pet turtle, Pedro.
To the right is Antonio’s bed, king-sized, four poster, and covered with a mess of red and yellow (he never makes his bed; it’s sort of a problem). In front of his bed are a couch and two overstuffed chairs. There is a small bedside table to the left of the bed with a lamp. For his clothes, there is a large oak wardrobe. A guitar is propped up in the corner of his room, always slightly out of tune even with Antonio’s desperate attempts to make it right.
Around his room lie pictures from his past and of the important people in his life. Unlike the pictures in his office, these do not move. While most are frames and rest either on the mantel or his desk, there are a few photos on his bedside table that show some wear and age.
Antonio’s living quarters are warm enough from the fire that is typically burning downstairs in his office; however, there is still a smaller, simpler fireplace to the left of the entrance and opposite his bed. Beyond the fireplace is the door to his bathroom. His bathroom is relatively simple—a porcelain footed bathtub along with a matching sink and toilet. There is a small cabinet by the sink for extra toilet paper and doubles as a table for random things. The medicine cabinet, which is also his mirror, above the sink is filled with a random collection of assorted items that managed to find their way in there. The walls are painted a light blue, contrasting all the warmer colors in his office, and the floor is tiled with white and blue patterns.
