Harry Potter Wiki

Slughorn's Staircase[2] was one of the largest staircases in Hogwarts Castle. It extended from the dungeons to the seventh floor. It has another exit on the sixth floor, near Horace Slughorn's office. The layout of the staircase was very similar to the Divination and Defence Against the Dark Arts Staircases, but the bottom (at dungeon-level) seemed to have been excavated in the cliffs and, thus, the walls and the staircase itself were rough stone.[1]

Professor Slughorn used this staircase when going to his classroom in the dungeons, whereas Luna Lovegood used it for the first time while going to the Slug Club Christmas party with Harry Potter.[1]
