Professor Hall<br/><br/>Professor Hall rolled his eyes slightly, letting out a huff as he walked back to the front of the room before responding to Miya's first address.<strong>"Well, I suppose you'd expect it to.  You see, there are certain...<em>procedures</em> one must follow before commencing a quiz or exam."</strong><br/><br/>Pulling forth his wand again, he pointed it at his desk.  A single sheet of paper flew out from behind his desk and into the air before falling back down.  Annoyed, Professor Hall brought the wand up close, inspecting it.  With a weary sigh, he pocketed the wand, withdrawing a different one.  The same gesture was made, and this time an entire folder made its way to the professor's hands.  He nodded exaggeratedly and opened it, flipping through the pages.<strong>"The Wizarding Examinations Authority is quite stringent on this.  Here we are.  'Any examination, to include quizzes, not formally declared to be so may be challenged through the Ministry, resulting in an anullment of said examination.'"</strong><br/><br/>He set the folder on his desk.<strong>"I do not doubt it, Miss Byrne.  Hogwarts has developed a rather disturbing reputation over the last decade and a half for ignoring Ministry regulations and decrees.  It's a nasty trend, and one I intend to start reversing."</strong><br/><br/>He pocketed his current wand as well, half-sitting on his desk as he continued.<strong>"As for the class, Wandlore was only approved by the Ministry last night.  At the time of my introduction, Transfigurations was the only class I had scheduled.  Once the course was approved, I coordinated with Headmistress McGonagall to arrange a proper schedule.  I will still be teaching a <em>portion</em> of the Transfigurations classes.  As for the lack of textbooks, there are no Ministry-approved works.  Textbooks are, however, not required for elective courses."</strong>
