Taught by Prof.Marco Mur (Madeline) Head of Gryffindor
The History of Magic classroom has a blackboard through which Binns enters and exits the room. It also has a window through which Hedwig could enter; the window has thick glass and a narrow ledge (OP17). Just up the corridor from Binns' classroom, in the direction of the marble staircase, is a window with a view of Hagrid's cabin (OP17).
How do we know that the History of Magic classroom is on the first floor?
Harry, Ron, and Hermione leave the History of Magic classroom, talk to Colin Creevey, then go up a flight of stairs to find themselves on the second floor, where Moaning Myrtle's bathroom is:
As they were shunted along in the throng, Colin Creevey went past.
But Colin was so small he couldn't fight against the tide of people bearing him toward the Great Hall; they heard him squeak, "See you, Harry!" and he was gone.
The crowd thinned and they were able to climb the next staircase without difficulty...
...they turned a corner and found themselves at the end of the very corridor where the attack had happened. (CS9).
