Chapter 1714: A New Educational Reform

Compared to the regime change scenes recorded in the history of magic, Voldemort's seizure of power this time was unusually smooth, and after Dumbledore's sudden departure and Scrimgeur's murder, there were almost no wizards who resisted Voldemort on the surface.

Voldemort's powerful magic and death threats made all opponents shut up or have to go underground, and the pure-blood wizarding families that were thought to be in decline also wielded unimaginable power this time, in addition to the many dark forces who chose to support Voldemort for various purposes, and with their joint efforts, Voldemort easily took control of the Ministry of Magic and formed a new regime to exert influence.

The whole process was simply unpleasant, and the expected resistance did not show up at all.

In fact, many wizards don't even know that the Ministry of Magic has been overrun by Voldemort.

However, the latest Ministry of Magic policies can still be seen, such as the infamous Muggle-origin registration censorship, which Evan had heard of before, and was described in more detail in today's newspapers.

After the first edition of the wanted warrants for Evan, Harry, Sirius, and others, there was an article about the censorship of Muggle-born registers, which read: "The Ministry of Magic is taking action to investigate the so-called Muggle-born population in order to better understand the magical secrets they hold."

Recently, an investigation by the Department of Mysteries revealed that magic could only be passed on through breeding among wizards, and that people who had not been proven to be of wizarding ancestry, known as Muggle-borns, may have obtained their magic through stealing or force.

The Ministry of Magic is determined to find the usurper of magic, and will soon send out invitations to everyone whose identity is in doubt or who is of Muggle origin to attend a meeting organized by the newly formed Muggle Birth Registration Committee......"

This is simply nonsense, and the Ministry of Magic no longer cares about Voldemort, but instead begins to study wizard breeding......

If no one even doubts this, then they are simply taking everyone for fools!

The fact that there has not been widespread panic and flight is only a sign of a lack of understanding of the latest policy, or a naïve belief that the Muggle-born registration committee organized a meeting that was simply a meeting.

When they see the judgment of the Dementors, and the results of the Azkaban being caught and even sucked out of their souls by the Dementors' kisses, they begin to feel scared.

But by then, it seemed a little too late for them to escape.

But then again, increasing the scrutiny and management of Muggle-born wizards can also represent the thinking of a large proportion of wizards to some extent, and it has been a long-standing voice within the wizarding world.

So the Ministry of Magic is doing this, which still excites many pure-blood wizards or wizards with blood bias.

Moreover, the new Ministry of Magic is very tolerant of pure-blood wizards, and even certain members of the Order of the Phoenix like the Weasleys have not been arrested, and Mr. Weasley can go to work at the Ministry of Magic as usual.

In this way, there are quite a few pure-blood wizards who support the new Ministry of Magic.

Many of them may support Voldemort and oppose evil and violence, but they are not opposed to the policies of the new Ministry of Magic, and for them, the Ministry may finally start to do something serious. But for Muggle-born wizards and humanoid, inhuman-sapient races, it was a disaster.

Evan read two paragraphs casually and skipped the article.

The third page of the newspaper was another heavyweight piece of news, and at the top of that page was a very large photograph of a man with a hooked nose and black hair, which Evan knew very well, and a line of bold headlines underneath the photo read: Severus Snape has been appointed Headmaster of Hogwarts.

It's finally here!

The news indicated that Voldemort had begun to reform the existing education system, which was not surprising, but the news came sooner than expected, after all, there were nearly two weeks to go.

Evan had thought that the news would be announced at the beginning of the school year.

Perhaps, Voldemort went to Hogwarts last night to get the double serpent staff, which accelerated the education reform and Snape's election as headmaster. After the robbery of Gringotts and the loss of the gold cup, all the Death Eaters should be trembling, Harry also said yesterday that Voldemort was angry, he killed a lot of people at the time, and now the Death Eaters must be trying to please Voldemort and complete what he wanted to happen as soon as possible.

"Is this Snape's picture?" said Hermione, surprised, noting the newspaper in Evan's hand.

"Well, he's been elected the new headmaster, and Harry will definitely lift the table in anger if he sees this report, but he probably won't fight Sirius, right? Evan said as he laid the newspaper flat on the table and read it carefully.

"Severus Snape, a longtime Potions professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was appointed Headmaster today during one of the most important faculty transfers in the ancient school. He will begin his duties today, ushering in a new era for the oldest magical school in the wizarding world. In addition, there is the resignation of the former Muggle Studies professor, a position that Alectokaro will take over, and her brother, Amicus, will fill the vacancy of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professorship. ”

"Hmph, that sounds pretty good. Elaine interjected, "I've heard of these siblings, just last semester when I lived with my uncle in the Underworld, where there were many dark wizards besides werewolves, and the two of them were the most famous and cruel of them. Trust me, they're going to make a mess of Hogwarts. ”

"As you can imagine, Muggle Studies teaches how to brutally kill Muggles, and Defence Against the Dark Arts how to use the Dark Arts. Evan nodded approvingly, "Also, Headmaster Snape......"

"Headmaster Snape......" Hermione seemed to think of something, and she sped out, "Wait, I'll be back soon!"

Elaine looked at Hermione's back and continued, "I don't understand, why would the other professors approve of these appointments?"

"They have no choice, they resist to be arrested and imprisoned in Azkaban or murdered, and at least stay to keep the students safe. Evan said, bowing his head and continuing to look at the newspaper, "This news is not over yet, not only the change of teachers, but also the latest education reform plan of the Ministry of Magic, well, Hogwarts is going to add a new age, just like Beauxbatons, you have to go to Hogwarts from the age of seven, and all young wizards born in England, over seven years old, eighteen years old and above have to report to Hogwarts, this is a forced ......"
