My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 406, Section 403: Education Order

"As for Peter, if he contacts you during this period, don't respond. There are quite a few of your former confidants who escaped from Azkaban, and you might accidentally give yourself away if you deal with these people."

Lynn's meeting with Tom this time was obviously to give her some important instructions.

Bellatrix is ​​very familiar with Voldemort; they may have already had intimate encounters and slept together, giving the Lestrange family a green hat.

At this time, if Tom, whose personality has drastically changed and who has lost his memory, has too much interaction with her, she is very likely to notice something is wrong.

Tom nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked another question.

"How long will it take them to find all those things?"

Lynn stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"It won't be long. We've already given them the exact locations of these things. Given the Death Eaters' capabilities, they should get back to you in less than a week. You'd better be prepared in the meantime. Let me know immediately as soon as Peter sends you a message."

Lynn spent the afternoon with Tom in the library, and before dinner, she got up and went back to the student council office.

A letter had appeared on his desk at some point.

Lynn opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, and a meaningful smile immediately appeared on his face.

He tapped a small bell on the table, and soon, the chairman's secretary, Ian, walked into the office with a blank expression.

"Notify all department heads and deputy heads to come to the conference room at 7 o'clock for a meeting."

Ian carefully wrote down Lynn's arrangements in his notebook.

What is the topic of the meeting?

"Meeting on Measures to Improve the Academic Atmosphere and School Spirit at Hogwarts and Enhance the Student Learning Environment."

Ian paused, his quill pen still in his hand. He silently complained to himself that Lynn was still naming things in the same old way. Then he wrote down what Lynn had said in his notebook word for word.

"Remember to reserve a seat for Professor McGonagall in the conference room today. The announcement is quite important, and her presence is required."

After giving Ian his instructions, Lynn left the student council office and went to the vice principal's office to speak with Professor McGonagall.

He had actually discussed this matter with Dumbledore not long after the start of the semester. Professor McGonagall knew about it and had no objections, but she didn't think the Ministry of Magic would approve Lynn's application.

Unexpectedly, not long after Christmas, the Ministry of Magic's approval came through.

"Wouldn't this put too much pressure on the students?"

Professor McGonagall wasn't alone in her office; Professor Sprout, the Headmaster of Hufflepuff, was having tea there and also saw the Ministry of Magic's educational order in Lynn's hand.

Lynn shrugged, somewhat speechless.

"Professor, the issue at Hogwarts is no longer about how much pressure there is."

The problem is that the students are too relaxed, spending less than 8 hours a day studying, which is not the kind of academic pressure a normal school should have.

Moreover, can we even call this applying pressure now?

This is just adding another assessment for the students.

Hogwarts has virtually no entry requirements. Although there are graduation requirements, students only begin to feel the pressure of graduation when they reach their fourth year.

Before fourth grade, their time at Hogwarts was less like attending school and more like attending a fun-filled kindergarten.

Lynn finally extended an invitation to Professor Sprout.

"Would you like to join us for the student council meeting later, Professor?"

Professor Sprout shook his head again.

"I won't go. Since this education order was approved by the Ministry of Magic, it means that the officials in the Ministry have the same considerations as you, so there shouldn't be any major problems with this order."

They didn't really consider anything; they only considered how to spend the money in the future when they received it.

Lynn silently cursed in his heart, not saying the truth aloud: this educational order was not voluntarily approved by the Ministry of Magic, but rather "bought" by Old John from Fudge.

"However, don't forget to have Professor Dumbledore inform the Board of Governors about this, otherwise they might have some objections to you going directly to the Ministry of Magic without going through the Board of Governors."

Professor Sprout kindly gave these words of advice before he left.

This might have been a problem in the past, but it is now.

How could Lynn possibly have a problem with herself?

At 7 p.m., the agreed time arrived, and the student council's meeting room was already filled with the heads and deputy heads of various departments.

Lynn and Professor McGonagall arrived as promised.

Upon arriving at the meeting room, Lynn didn't waste any words. He immediately used a copying spell to divide the Ministry of Magic's Class A educational order that he had received that afternoon into more than ten copies and distributed them to everyone present.

"After careful deliberation by the Ministry of Magic, this Education Order A was finally issued."

Starting today, Hogwarts will implement a graded system, with the seven years divided into three levels: primary, junior, and senior. Years one through three will be primary school, years four and five will be junior high school, and years six and seven will be senior high school.

Each division has a separate director of studies, who is one of the three deans other than Professor McGonagall.

In addition to the two professional wizarding exams already established by the Ministry of Magic—the Common Wizarding Level (OWL) in fifth year and the Ultimate Wizarding Level (NEWT) in seventh year—a new Junior Wizarding Level (JWL) exam for third-year students will be added.

If you fail the corresponding grade-level exam, it will not affect your future school admission, but you will not be eligible to take the next level exam.

For example, a third-year student who fails the primary wizarding level exam will continue to the fourth year of junior high school, but will not be allowed to take the higher-level general wizarding level exam until they pass the primary level exam.

The same applies to the ultimate wizard level exam; one must obtain a regular wizard level certificate to be eligible to participate.

If a seventh-year student does not obtain the Ultimate Wizarding Certificate by graduation, he/she will only receive a certificate of attendance; only those who pass the exam will receive a Hogwarts diploma.

Moreover, starting this year, each level of the final grade exam will also affect the future employment choices of each graduate.

The Ministry of Magic and Gringotts will standardize their recruitment criteria. From now on, only students who have passed the Ultimate Wizarding Rank Examination (E-rank or higher) will be eligible to apply for official positions (ranked from highest to lowest as O, E, A, P, D, T, with A being the passing grade). This means that other students will not be able to apply for official positions.

After listening to Lynn's explanation and reading the educational decree in their hands, all the ministers present were so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information that they were momentarily speechless.
