A/N Hello, everyone, I apologize for the lateness of this update, things have been crazy lately. There will be one more chapter after this one, so contrary to what I said previously this is NOT the last chapter.

Thanks to all Reviewers!

Dedication: To Bittersweet x my 200th Reviewer. :D

"I have called you here today to tell you about a very sad occurrence indeed," Dumbledore announced gravely. He had gathered the heads of houses in his office to gently break this most terrible and grievous news to them.

McGonagall appeared to be vaguely concerned, while Snape looked apathetic, Flitwick look preoccupied, and Sprout pondered how dangerous the various sharp objects in Dumbledore's office would be if her students were ever to come into contact with them.

"What is it, Headmaster?" McGonagall asked finally expecting to hear of death eaters storming the castle, another swamp in the corridor, or something similarly catastrophic.

"The minister has issued a proclamation." Dumbledore informed them somberely.

"Not another one." Flitwick said with a sigh.

"Oh, yes, and I'm afraid this one is much worse than all previous proclamations."

"Worse than Umbridge?" McGonagall asked skeptically.

"Read it and see for yourselves," He replied.

-BY ORDER OF-

The Minister of Magic

After extensive research on the so-called 'Oreo Cookie Psych Test' the Ministry has concluded that it represents a severe and pervasive danger to wizarding society as we know it.

It has been utilized by death eaters, inspired drug sales to vulnerable personages, sown disorder among close-knit pureblood families, resulted in numerous injuries to members of Hufflepuff house, caused nervous breakdowns among Ravenclaws due to its inexactitude, inspired Gryffindors to prank and otherwise disobey rules, caused Slytherins to run said drug sales, burdened Hogwarts staff members, noticeably pushing one professor towards a nervous breakdown after twice encountering these cookies in her lesson plans, interrupted strategy meetings and caused the Auror department to move further into the bounds of severe instability.

All of these factors make it clear that there is only one solution to the plague of volatility and insanity that has swept through Wizarding England as a result of this quiz: We must place a total ban on the Oreo Cookie Psych Test; no one is ever to discuss the meaning of how individuals choose to consume their Oreos. We at the Ministry believe that your method of Oreo consumption is your choice and not something that should be analyzed or discussed.

Any individual or group caught discussing Oreo cookie consumption will be fined at rates starting from ten galleons and increasing upwards to one thousand galleons, more severe offenders could even face time in Azkaban. We caution you not to take this ban lightly.

The above is accordance with Ministry of Magic Governance Decree Number 2,687,534,892,278

Signed:

Cornelius Fudge

Minister of Magic

"I can tell by the looks on your faces that you are all quite horrified and grieved by this development." Dumbledore announced when they had all finished reading.

Obviously, he was growing senile in his old age, because in reality McGonagall looked as though Christmas had come early, Sprout had a look of sincere relief, Flitwick looked as though he could cry with gratitude, and the corner of Snape's mouth momentarily twitched in what could have been an almost smile, but disappeared too quickly for anyone to be sure. Which was probably for the best because a smiling Snape might finally be enough to push the dangerously unstable population of Hogwarts off the edge.

"But never fear!" Dumbledore exclaimed. The other professors didn't tell him that up until he had spoken they had been quite the opposite of afraid, now they were very afraid-afraid he would manage to overturn the decree that is. "We have recourse still, we must stand firm and petition the Ministry, telling them how helpful and enlightening we all consider the Oreo Cookie Psych Test to be."

"Er, well, not that we don't want to or anything," Sprout began subtly.

"It's just that the Minister sounded quite firm in his ban, didn't he Filius?" McGonagall asked desperately.

"Yes, yes he did." Flitwick hastened to agree.

"And, what about you, Severus, what is your opinion?" Dumbledore asked the most persnickety of the gathered professors.

"Yes." Snape said nodding his head.

"Yes, what?" Dumbledore asked.

Snape looked pained. He really hated to agree with his fellow professors, not quite as much as he hated Dumbledore's favorite quiz though. "I don't think the minister is going to change his mind, as much as it grieves us all, and truly it does, er deep down, I think we will just have to move on. Sadly."

"If you're all sure…"

"We are!" McGonagall exclaimed hurriedly.

"I guess the Oreo Cookie Quiz will have to be but a fond memory of our past…"

A/N This was originally intended to be the last chapter, alas, it is not.

There will be an epilogue featuring the next generation at the suggestion of Mistress of Magic22.

They will be illegally breaking Ministry of Magic Decree 2,687,534,892,278. :P

That final chapter will be posted on Monday.

Anyway, Review!
