It has been 5 years since Deathly Hallows.  For one year the school stayed open, and classes continued rather awkwardly, with the few remaining instructors doing their best to keep things going.  Eventually, it was decided that this was no way to run a school, and complaints from parents and Ministry officials alike kept building until Hogwarts was shut down.  For three years the school remained closed.  Some students transferred to other schools, and some transited into a home school approach, but the majority just put their magic education on hold until the school reopened.  The first year had some problems, of course, mainly in finding qualified staff that could withstand a very thorough background check, but things have relaxed a bit now.<br/><br/>The staff at Hogwarts currently looks like this:<br/><br/>Headmaster: Minerva McGonagall<br/>Deputy Headmaster: Filius Flitwick<br/>Astronomy: Aurora Sinistra<br/>Charms: Filius Flitwick, Head of House for Ravenclaw<br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts: Scott Edgar, Head of Gryffindor<br/>(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae316/kckolbe/article-1269213-0944DF92000005DC-509_634x467.jpg)<br/>Herbology: Pomona Sprout, Head of Hufflepuff<br/>History of Magic: Cuthbert Binns<br/>Potions: Stephen Gates<br/>(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae316/kckolbe/899899-ewan.jpg)<br/>Transfigurations: Simon Hall<br/>(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae316/kckolbe/Rowan_Atkinson_008.jpg)<br/><br/>Ancient Runes: Danial Heatwave<br/>Arithmancy: Septima Vector<br/>Care of Magical Creatures: Laksha Pillai<br/>Divinations: Sybill Trelawney<br/>Flying: Rolanda Hooch<br/>Muggle Studies: Robin Hart<br/>
