Prompts January 28th - Monday The Daily Prophet today features yet another interview with Minister Cavanaugh. Straight from the Minister himself is a confession that the Ministry is planning on taking an active role in the education students recieve at Hogwarts - as well as the security in the school. At the end of the article explains the Minister's disapproval with the "Journal Project" and how he stepped in, along with the Board of Governors, creating a bylaw that no professor can assign school-wide assignments unless they are class specific. What does that mean? Dumbledore can no longer use the journal to hold a thought challenge each month, or, at least, he can no longer require students to respond. Perhaps this is why there hadn't been a challenge since they returned.
