The Wizarding Community of Great Britain will once again have a school to which they can be proud to send their children.
What remained of the building called the Slytherin Academy, formerly Hogwarts, after a fire that broke out during the evacuation last summer, has been destroyed. On its site, the manor house of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, previously located at Number 12 Grimmauld Pl, London, has been magically transported. A refuse for those without homes during the events of July, the house is being expanded and built upon to create a school and sanctuary for students of magic.
The new building will have two floors dedicated to a classroom environment. Teachers have not officially been appointed, but volunteers are already at work and anyone who recieved their education during the days of Hogwarts is encouraged to join them. Subjects include the traditional such as Charms, Transfiguration and Defence Against the Dark Arts, as well as practical magic such as cooking and healing. As of yet there are no set timetables, but the organisers feel that getting a start on magical education for those who have none, particularly those who are already past school age, is more important than spending months developing a curricular structure.
The remaining floors, which seem to increase with each passing day, are being dedicated to student and teacher accomodation for those who wish to stay. Boarding is not compulsory, but many students have little or no home to return to. Instead of dormitories, organisers hope to allow each student their own small room, providing a sense of much-needed security to those forced to live in terror over the past twenty years. Magical elevators are also being installed.
We hope that this school will help to improve the stability of our society, supported by the recent changes in the Ministry of Magic and the support of our allies in France, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands.
The campaign for the election of the new Minister for Magic continues.
