J.K. Rowling owns all of the characters, places, spells, etc. other than the ones I've made up. I've merely used these elements to make a plot of mostly my own invention.
Hogwarts to Reopen Doors: Offers Repeat of Last School Year to Students
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry gave a press release Monday evening during the Ministry of Magic's latest education meeting. Headmistress McGonagall told reporters, "Hogwarts will indeed be opening its doors in the coming year. A coalition of professors and politicians have come to the agreement that it is in the best interest of the community for the students who attended Hogwarts last school year to repeat the school year in order to learn what they were not allowed to learn the previous two semesters. For those students who were forced into hiding and could not attend Hogwarts last year, we are making an exception and asking that you return to make up your missed time at Hogwarts in the coming school year. While we understand that some of you may not feel Hogwarts is the safest place for your children, we feel we must offer the students who were cheated by the events of the past year this opportunity. Several other schools have offered to take your students in should you wish them to continue their education elsewhere. We have also created a new option for parents who wish to teach their children from home. We have developed a framework of curriculum for parents to use if they wish which is designed to prepare the students to pass the standard end of year exams."
Hogwarts staff has spent their summer cleaning up the debris from the battle which took place there last spring. Headmistress McGonagall and the school board have spent much of their time finding new professors and staff to replace those fallen and retired faculty and staff and have filled all of the positions which were left vacant. The article on page 3 entitled "New Professors at Hogwarts" gives a lineup of each of the teaching positions and the professors who will be filling them and discusses their qualifications.
Hogwarts began sending out letters yesterday to the students who attended last year. However, those students who did not attend cannot be contacted without their express permission due to school guidelines. If you or your child is among the students who did not attend Hogwarts last year or if they were removed from the school before the year was finished and you wish to reenroll at Hogwarts to make up the missed year, please contact Deputy Headmistress Theo Agave before the end of August.
AN: Thank you for taking the time to read this fanifiction. I have a bit of spare time and I'm just trying to get back to the things I used to enjoy by writing a story. It will brighten my day if you let me know what you think, though, so if you like it (or hate it) please leave me a review! The story starts out a bit slow, I'll admit, but I suspect once my framework is laid and the characters begin to interact a bit more, the story will take off. So please be patient with me.
