Somewhere in a secret location in Europe, the different members of the ICW gather together to discuss their biggest problem child. Britain. "Things can not continue like this! Despite them being the one's losing the 'war,' the blood purists are stronger than ever in Britain! WORSE! If what Dumbeldore claims is true that Voldemort has returned!" Said the German represent angrily, his hands clenched into fists. The representative from Luxemburg agreed with his colleague.
"Worse even! That fool Fudge refuses to listen to reason. While I too, find it doubtful that Voldemort managed to return from the dead, Dumbeldore always claimed he was never truly gone. And as much as I hate that old goat, he is most likely correct. But what are we supposed to do?" every representative was deep in thought until the newest member of the ICW spoke up. The Japanese delegation.
"I may have a solution. Every magical institution, baring the Clock Tower and anything connected to the Mages Association is under ICW supervision correct? Well, I suggest we finally use this power! I suggest we strip Dumbeldore of his position as Headmaster and appoint someone we know has the best interest of the students in mind! As real as the Voldemort threat is, the situation in Britain is critical! Dumbeldore has actively crippled his country for years with his false claims of a greater good! He even banned Alchemy and Healing Courses! And don't get me started on his incompetent staff! Yes, most of them are acclaimed masters in their subject... by British standards but, by ICW standards, only Fillius Flitwick really has the qualifications for his position! We all know how horrible Severus Snape is as a teacher! Or the failings of the last few Defence Professors." All representatives nodded. The Bulgarian Represent spoke now.
"If we can get the Students out from Dumbeldores thumb and can pull them back on the right track we may regain control over the situation in Britain. If we make sure the ones defending the Country are well prepared, and those that would join the Death Eaters are kicked out before finishing their education, or even taken out altogether, it would be a great boon... considering you suggested this I assume you already have a candidate in mind?" The Japanese man nodded and smirked.
"Indeed I have the right woman for the job. She may be young but considering her current position she would be best suited for the task at hand. Who's better to help those children, than the girl who saved all of Humanity from Solomon?" everyone's eyes widened in shock! They all of course knew what happened, how the Mage King Solomon nearly destroyed the foundation of humanity itself. Well, all except Dumbeldore. Despite being Supreme Mugwump, a title he came up with himself, he rarely attends meetings and refusing any change whatsoever, he views a lot of things he doesn't understand as 'Dark'... so anything that didn't come from him.
"You mean… humanity's last master? Ritsuka Fujimura? The Master of... I don't know how many Heroic Spirits?! Isn't she a Magus?" Asked the Amerikan representative and the Japanese nodded. "Yes, she is a Magus and the current head of the Chaldea security organization. Wich why I think giving Hogwarts to Chaldea is a great first step. Not only would we have someone in Hogwarts we KNOW would have the children's safety and education in mind, but it also could help to strengthen the ties with the Mage Association. And maybe stop the brits from viewing Mage Craft as the darkest Art of all and make sure future generation don't obliviate Mages on sight as they try to do, which never ends well." Everyone winced slightly. The Brits got it in their head that Mages were marly Muggles, and therefore are to be obliviated. One could imagine what happened to the Auror who tried to arrest and obliviate a Magus. Depending on the Magus the best-case scenario is waking up in ST. Mungos with a raging Head each and maybe a missing an organ, worst-case scenario?... you will be used in the Magus' experiment, wishing for death.
They all tried to get those dark thoughts out of their heads and returned to the matter at hand. "Did Miss Ritsuka already agree to this?" The question came from the Italian representative. Once more the Japanese gave a nod. "She apparently already had Voldemort on her radar, and she knows Hogwarts is a target. She agreed to at least be Headmistress for a few years. All we need to do is vote on this." They all nodded and to no one's surprise, everyone was in favor. The same night Albus Dumbeldore felt the magic of the school being stripped away from him, and his face lost all color when a letter with the ICW emblem arrived in his office.
A few days later on a rainy day, Minerva McGonnagal sat in her favorite chair and stared out the window. It seems the weather shared her sorrow. Today it would be official. Her Mentor and best friend Albus Dumbeldore would no longer be Headmaster. Instead, someone chosen by the ICW would take on the mantle, and Minerva shuddered at that. The Ministry's attempt at gaining control over Hogwarts was bad enough but the ICW? Albus always claimed that many of his former colleagues had quite some Dark Views on the world, which is why he even claimed the position in the first place, to stop them from doing any harm to their own countries. But now all was gone. No Headmaster, No Chief Warlock, and no Supreme Mugwump... and never would she understand why Albus renamed the position like this. Probably one of the many mysteries that Albus Dumbeldore kept close to himself. Now he was just a normal, old wizard and leader of the Secret Order of the Phoenix. All Minerva could hope was that once You Know Who shows himself publicly, so they would reinstate all his positions.
A knock brought her out of her musings she stood up. Most likely Fillius telling her the new Headmistress has arrived. And indeed when she opened the door the half-goblin Professor was standing in front of her. "Is it time Fillius?" Asked Minerva cordially. Fillius nodded, smiling as always. "Indeed it is. She just arrived at the office together with some... interesting company." Minerva rose from her chair and together with her colleague started to go to the Headmasters... no now Headmistress Office, wondering who was this 'interesting' company she brought along.
When they came to the Gryffin that guarded the entrance Minerva sad the password "Sherbert Lemon" but it didn't move. "Ah, Minerve, she already changed the password. She ahem... had lass then good things to say over the previous one. Ahem. The glory of Camelot." The Griffon came to live and revealed the Staircase to the office. Slightly frowning, as to why she would choose such a strange password, Minerva went upstairs.
When she opened the Door the first she was was a pretty young redhead girl sitting in the same chair Albus used to shit in. She was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. Once more Minerva had to suppress another frown, finding it unacceptable that this young girl wasn't wearing proper Wizarding Attire! But she also wonders who this is. The second thing she notices where all the teachers gathered in front of the Desk and behind the girl were multiple people, NONE were dressed like a proper Wizard or Witch should dress, except for a white-haired man with a Staff. Some of the Women whore completely scandalizing clothing and one in red had a see trough Skirt! She was about to ask who those people are, the redhead spoke.
"You must be Minerva McGonagall correct? Now that everyone is here I will introduce myself. I am Ritsuka Fujimaru, director of the Chaldea Security Organisation and for now new Headmistress of Hogwarts." Minerva's eyes widened in disbelief! This Girl was not much older than the 7-year students, if at all! How could someone like her be the new Headmistress? Snape didn't even try to hide his contempt and sneered openly at the girl.
"And we are supposed to believe this nonsense? Step out of that chair at once brat! where is the real Headmistress?!" All the people behind Ritsuka narrowed their eyes. A Woman with pale Skin and pale blonde her and yellow eyes, dressed in absolutely scandalous short black pants and a black tank top with a black jacket spoke. "You better watch what you say grease ball because I will smash that thing you call a face. " She glared at Snape, her voice cold but also manacing. Ritsuka lifted a hand.
"Alturia please calm yourself." Ritsuka looked at Snape her eyes narrowed. "I assure you I am the new Headmistress. And the reason I called you all her is to introduce you to a few new Staff Members and to inform you about some changes I plan to implement. But first of all, I have to address some... Issues that happened over the last 4 years that are UTTERLY unacceptable A Girl with light purple hair gave Ritsuka a... strange flat object that none of the Wizards recognized. They didn't know that this was a Tablet.
"First of all. Special Treatment for students where they are rewarded instead of punished! For example in the Schoolyear of 2016. Rose Potter broke multiple school rules when she flew on a broom despite Madam Hooch CLEARLY stating no one was to mount them! does she get punished? No! She was made Seeker and got a Nimbus 2000 at the time, the best Broom on the market! While I do say her REASONS for mounting the broom were understandable and maybe should have warranted a lesser punishment, she should not have been rewarded! More so! Draco Malfoy ALSO mounted his broom and even attempted to steal from a student he got no punishment at all. Anyone here cares to explain this situation?" Minerva had her lips pressed into a thin line, feeling personally attacked! But... she had no comebacks or answers to defend herself. Snape the while was sending death glares at Ritsuka.
"The Potter Brat should have been expelled and punished for lying about Draco!" Ritsuka simply swiped to a new page on the Tablet. "How 'wonderful' you spoke up 'Professor' Snape. if you even could be called that. How about we continue with you? Insulting your students, deducting points for ridiculous reasons like to 'loud' breathing or being a, and I quote "Insufferable Know It All" which are both not punishable. Oh and let's also talk about you targeting specific students to make their life as miserable as possible simply because they look like their father. Or tormenting one student mentally so much that you became his greatest fear." Snape became redder and redder in pure anger and was barley able to hold back hexing the brat in front of him when she put the final nail into the coffin.
"On top of that comes to your sheer incompetence as an instructor, in the now near 15 years as teacher barley anyone who wasn't a Slytherin graduated, crippling both ST. Mungos and the Auror because you sir are a pathetic, spiteful man. And we don't need the like you at this School. You are hereby fired. Get out of my sight!" Snape snapped. he pulled out his wand.
"YOU DARE TO ARGH!" But before he could even utter a syllable, Artoria jumped up and ramed her first into Snape's gut. He collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness. Ritsuka simply called a House Elve and ordered him to throughout Snape and all his belongings out. Once the former Potions Teacher was gone the meeting continued. "Now allow me to introduce our new Positions Teacher." Ritsuka pointed at a woman that was dressed in a dark purple dress and a black cloak. Her face was covered in shadows and her appearance just screamed danger.
"This is Medea. She is a trusted friend and a master when it comes to potions. I'm sure our students will learn much from her." Medea grinned, her mouth being the only visible part of her. "I'm sure we all will get along quite nicely... at least those of you who still will work her by the end of this meeting hahaha." "Medea please there is no need to scare them." Spoke a woman with long white hair and red eyes. She was dressed in a beautiful white dress and over it, she had a white winter coat.
"Sadly Medea is right. Ther are a few of you who simply did not do a good enough job. Another teacher that will be replaced is Professor Binns. To my knowledge, he only talks about Goblin Rebellions since his death in 1875. The fact that this was allowed to continue for so long is unacceptable! Merlin here will take over his post" No one was angry that Binns was gone. They all knew well how boring his lectures are, even Flllius had to fight back in his school days to stay awake and it was an open secret that Babbling and Vector never even attended any of his classes after the first year. What surprised them more was the name of the white-haired Wizard who just smiled at them.
"Yes yes, I am named after Merlin, no need to make a big fuzz about it, please. I'm sure the students will love their time with me, even if I'm sad that certain students will not attend my class." A young girl beside Merlin rolled her eyes. She looked a lot like Alturia but had blue eyes and golden blonde hair and less pale skin. "You're only disappointed you can't have the Weasley Twins as your students, only the root knows what chaos would come upon us all if you three ever started scheming together." Merlin just grinned brightly while Ritsuka and her companions all slightly shuddered at the thought. They're where many rolls of parchment about the Weasley Twins so they were more than enough informed about them and vowed to keep them away from Merlin as long as possible. Ritsuka only hoped Zelretch would not suddenly decide to visit during the School year. She wasn't sure what would be more terrifying. Those 4 Pranksters working together or the resurrection of Goetia.
"Ah, you wound me, my dear apprentice. Ther are some other students that awoke my curiosity. Ah, since you already spoke up, allow me to introduce your new Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher Arturia Pendragon, my apprentice." Merlin observed the reactions of the teachers. No one seemed to think twice about the name Pendragon. It was no big surprise for him, but it was still disappointing. The Wizards all have written out King Arthur from the history books because he was just a Muggle in their eyes. Sad and pitiful but perhaps in this situation favorable.
"Next on the list... Miss Burbage? Do you know what this is?" Ritsuka holds up her magical tablet. Charity Burbage looked at it and was clearly puzzled. "I assume some kind of enchanted item?" She knew she guessed wrong when she saw the disappointed look on Ritsukas face. "No. It's a Tablet... a Muggle invention...when did the Muggles send the first man to the moon?" Some of the teachers had to hold in a snort at this ridiculous joke. Charity didn't hide it but started to laugh. "Never. You cant travel to the -" "16 July 1969 if I'm not mistaken." Everyone's eyes widen.
Charity looked puzzled at Ritsuka. "W-What?" Instead of Ritsuka, a brown-haired woman with blue eyes spoke. "During the 60s the Muggles sent a team into space to land on the moon. The First Man on the moon, Niel Armstrong, is to this day regarded as a hero and his first words on the moon were. 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.' those words inspired people to reach beyond their limits, even to this day. As a Muggle Studies teacher, this is your duty to know this." The Teachers were flabbergasted and Charity couldn't open her mouth while her eyes filled with horror, she looked pleadingly to Ritsuka.
"P-please...I-I need this job! I-I can't I - I" Ritsuka looked saddened. She knew why Miss Burgabe needed this job. She was a Pureblood, cast out of her family for marrying a Muggelborn, a man named Patrick Burbage, who sadly was murdered only days after their wedding. For her, it was impossible to get a job in the ministry due to her status as a Blood Traitor, and overall low grades. The only reason she got this job was that she was the only one who applied.
"Sigh... I'm sorry. But I plan to turn Muggle Studies into a mandatory class and... You simply are not well enough informed about the muggle world...which is why Da Vinci here will take your position" Charity started to tear up and her whole body started to shake. "...I'm really sorry…. Da Vinci? Would you mind helping her pack and move out?" Da Vinci gave a nod and she took the crying Charity with her, trying to calm the woman down. From here, the meeting continued and a few more teachers were sacked. It horrified Minerva how this Girl had no regard for tradition! Some ideas indeed had merit but most were strongly against what Albus wanted for the School. She dreaded the upcoming year, wondering if it would have been better if Albus stayed, even if it meant having to endure Dolores Umbridge.
as the first of September came. Late into the evening, the students all returned to Hogwarts. Chatter filled the great hall and many discussed the same thing. Albus Dumbeldore no longer was Headmaster. Were once a golden throne-like chair stood, was now a much more humble chair and it was occupied by a young woman with red hair, dressed in White and Black Clothes. Many noted the multitude of new faces on the Head Table and also the lack of certain teachers. Many saw this as a good thing, due to the recent slander campaigns against the former headmaster. But a group of 3 Students was less than pleased. Rose Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. The Golden Trio. They heard about the news during their summer vacation and none of them were happy.
"Just look at those people! That one has yellow eyes, that woman pretty much has a gigantic Arrow saying 'I'm a Death Eater' over her head, at least I already know who wants to kill me this year!" Grumbled Rose Potter. During dinner, the new Headmistress, similar to Dumbeldore, decided to greet them before starting the feast. But Rose didn't eat much. She glared at the new Headmistress who talked with a purpled haired girl beside her and didn't pay much attention to the students.
"Ey...where is Snape?" Asked Ron suddenly. Rose and Hermione perked up and started looking for the greasy-haired man but he was nowhere in sight. "Maybe the new Headmistress fired him? If she did then at least she did one thing right." Muttered Rose which just earned her a glare from Hermione. But before Hermione could start a lecture the Food vanished and the new Headmistress stood up.
"To all of you, once more welcome. Some of you may be confused about who I am so I will explain. My name is Ritsuka Fujimura. Last Summer the ICW decided it no longer can tolerate the actions of the former Headmaster, Albus Dumbeldore, whose actions often put you, the students in danger. That's why they choose me to replace him and I have quite a few announcements to make before you all go to sleep. First of all, there will be a few changes in the courses. Divination no longer is a subject we teach her, as it is, unteachable unless you possess the ability for it. Also, Astronomy is now one of the electives students can take in their 3rd year. More so Muggle Studies is now a mandatory class for ALL Students." An uproar came from the Slytherin table but a loud boom made everyone stop. The Muggleborns all looked shocked at Alturia who was holding a gun and pointed the still smoking Weapon upwards. "Be silent! The Headmistress is speaking!"
"Ahem, thank you Alturia." Ritsuka too a deep breath before she continued. We have a few changes in our staff as well. First of all Professor Hagrid suffered an accident during the summer so for the foreseeable future he will be replaced by a Substitute Teacher that will arrive by the end of the week, while he is on medical leave. Also, as you all can see Severus Snape is no longer here. The way he conducted himself was unbecoming of a teacher and he has been fired. In his stead" She was taken aback when nearly all the Ravenclaws, Huffelpuffs and Gryffindors started loudly cheering. Ritsuka looked at her Servant who all just smiled awkwardly. No one expected that man was THIS hated by the students. The decision seemed even more right than before. This time she waited for everyone to calm down before she continued.
"I, ahem... see that many of you seemed to agree with my decision. Well, Potions from now on be taught by Professor Medea. She also will take over as head of Slytherin." The scary woman stood up and winked to everyone. Wich caused half of the student body to feel a chill run down their spine. Medea poulet. "Tisk, ungrateful brats." Sulking she sat down at her chair and got confronted by Arturia. "Hehe, well... moving on. Cherry Burgoge also had to leave us and so Professor Leonora Da Vinci will be your future Muggle Study Teacher. " Da Vinci made a bow for the Students and many applauded. She smirked into Medea's direction who continued to pout.
"Furthermore I present to you Merlin Caster, yes he is named after Merlin, who will be your new History of Magic Teacher, sorry to disappoint, but nap times over for all of you in that Class." Merlin gave a graceful bow and accompanied it with a few flowers just appearing out of nowhere. Arturia rolled her eyes at her Teacher's antics. "And Defense against the Dark Arts will be taught by his former pupil Arturia Pendragon" Some gasps were heard, mostly from the Ravenclaws. Some obviously recognized the name.
"Now only two more things before I send you off to bed... from today onwards... there no longer will be a house point system" Silence... and then the whole hall started to shout in a near-violent outburst until once more multiple Gun Shots from Alturia calmed them down. "I don't care how much you disapprove of this. The House Point System was nothing but a hassle. Sure it was a great idea to make a friendly rivalry between houses, but you all have proven in the past that you take this 'friendly rivalry; WAY too seriously. And the last thing. To the current Prefects please return your badges. The Rank of Prefect no longer exists." Once more the hall became deadly silent. Rose noted how Hermione first was white from shock and then became red from pure anger.
"I had multiple reasons, mostly because I think the duties of a perfect interfered too much with your studies. Also, I disapprove of this year's new prefects and therefore I saw it fit to disband them. Instead, they will be replaced by the 4 House Councilors who will assist the Head of House and take over the Prefects Duty. Please give a warm welcome to Nero Claudius who will take over Gryffindor." A Blonde and green eyes woman in a Red Dress stood up, smiling brightly. "Irisviel von Einzbern will be responsible for Ravenclaw." A beautiful white-haired and red-eyed woman smiled at them. "Jeanne Lance is the Councilor for Hufflepuff." A kindly-looking woman greeted them all "And Alturia Rider will take care of the Slytherins." Alturia didn't smile. She just glared at the Slytherins.
"Now that is all. You now can." "AHEM! Did you forget someone?" Someone shouted. They all looked for the source of the voice. A man with blue hair, tied in a small ponytail stood annoyed at the same place Filch always stood. Ritsuka blushed. "O-Oh! S-Sorry. Ahem, this is Lance Bazette. He is our new Caretaker. OH, and I also nearly forgot" She pointed at the purple-haired women. "This is Mashy Kirielight. She is my Assistant….. AND My Girlfriend so NO ONE of you better get any ideas of flirting with here got it!" She glared at all the students while Mash jut started too furiously blush.
"Okay, now that is all. The rest? You know, same old, same old. Forbidden Forest is forbidden, Quidditch Tryouts will be announced soon, and so on. SO! Off to bed with all. First Years please follow your Councillors! OH! Better yet all Students follow you're Councillors to learn the new Password. Good night to all of you!"
