[edit] Biography

[edit] 1991–1992 and 1992–1993 school years

By 1991, Elizabeth's portrait was hung at the Grand Staircase, above the stairs between the archway to the Entrance Hall and the doorway to the first-floor. ^[3] During the next school year, Elizabeth portrait was maintained at the same place at the Grand Staircase. ^[4]

[edit] 1995–1996 school year

By 1995 her portrait was no longer hung by the first-floor landing of the Grand Staircase, but two floors below, at the Entrance Dungeon. During this school year, she hid a secret passage to the Main Dungeons. In order to gain passage, one had to give her the password "Slytherins are Supreme", which only her and the Slytherin students knew about. ^[2] There was another portrait of her, hung near the entrance to the Potions Classroom, hiding a passage to the seventh-floor corridor. Its password was "Facta, non verba". ^[1]

[edit] 1996–1997 school year

By the next school year, her portraits no longer hid any secret passageway, nor did they stay at the same walls. ^[5]
