HOGWARTS ATTENDANCE MADE MANDATORY
By Gilbert Goon
As the Muggle-born Registration Act has been put into full effect, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister, Dolores Umbridge, has announced that all attendance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is now mandatory for all students.
“Hogwarts has been made compulsory for many reasons,” says Umbridge. “But primarily, it is to ensure the safety of all students. The Ministry has issued the MRA because so-called 'Muggle-borns' are a threat to our society. We must do what we can to maintain the well-being of our youth.”
Hogwarts is no exception. Students will be required to give their Blood Status before attendance in the Fall, meaning, they must successfully prove to the Ministry of Magic that they are truly of Wizarding descent. If a student fails to comply, they will be forced to appear before the Muggle-born Registration Committee.
