This year it seemed the swarm of first years had grabbed the train whole and started to rattle it. <br/><br/>This was due to the latest announcement in the Daily Prophet. Last Death Eater Captured, Department of Magical Law Raves. There were some who believed this while others did not, it was all on who was who and what was what.<br/><br/>There were also headlines that read, New School Reforms. This had interested the students and parents alike. It was now mandatory for students to take Muggle Studies as a Core Class. Apparently this was to ‘lesson the diversity between the Magical and Muggle Communities’ There where families that protested, families that raved, and others who sat on the fence. <br/><br/>AS well as the new NEWT’s vs OWL’s classes, Apparently according to the Wizarding Board of Education students needed more in-depth learning in their classes, as well as Extra-Curricular that would allow them to reach their full potential in their life’s outside of Hogwarts. <br/><br/>This came with two new appointments to the Hogwarts staff. <br/><br/>One an all-new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, not so shocking there. This time the Aura office had supplied it, they were Dark Wizard Chasers after all and with the Death Eaters all captured and no threat on the greater Magical and Muggle population well they could do to have an Aura on staff. <br/><br/>Her name was Tabitha Jade according to the Daily Prophet she was quite a noise maker and Head Master Dumbledore's first choice to ‘educate the young witches and wizards’. <br/><br/>The next appointment came with a large article about ‘cultures of the Magical Community’ as well as ‘Equal Rights’ there where more than enough opinions on the page to make anyone dizzy. The new teacher was non-other than Hogwarts graduate Terra. She had passed her Professors examination with flying colors the previous year and had been a 'student teacher' last year and improved the classes greatly. The Board of Education has no doubt in her ability to teach and they stand behind Headmaster Dumbledore’s decision to include this NEWT’s Level Care of Magical Creatures. <br/><br/>The influx of Muggle-Born Students was increasing as well. Whereas years before there had been not one Muggle-Born student due to the Great Wizarding War, one that the Ministry had so gratefully handled thank you! <br/><br/>They were cropping up in hand fulls it was getting hard to tell a muggle born from a pure blood these days and some found that refreshing while others found it infuriating. <br/><br/>Meanwhile at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry the empty halls where awaiting students. Empty class rooms ready for the new influx of those coming to fill the halls so known and well loved. <br/><br/>The Professors where anticipating an all new year and today they had one small celebration before the students arrived...</div></div>
