NEW HEADMASTER OF HOGWARTS
After having taught at Hogwarts for forty-two years and been the Headmistress of the school for three years, Minerva McGonagall has retired from her position at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. She has stated that she will eventually settle down in Hogsmeade after a long needed vacation out of the country.
Her decision was made before the new term began and after the end of the last term in June 2002. Most of the students were quite shocked to see a new Headmaster at the staff table at Hogwarts' annual 'Start of Term Feast', though he wasn't unrecognizable. Filius Flitwick, the previous Charms professor, has become the new Headmaster of Hogwarts, a position he is most excited to fill.
Having been on staff at the school as a professor since 1969 and the Deputy Headmaster since 1998, he has been quoted saying that he will miss teaching the students in their daily lessons but knows that he can help them in another capacity still as Headmaster.
In this new time of war, some may wonder if he is the best man for the job. His short physique doesn't seem to intimidate very easily, though his history of being a Duelling Champion when he was young and his most recent spell work at the Battle of Hogwarts say otherwise. Flitwick and the rest of the faculty at Hogwarts are confident that they will protect the students from any harm if it comes their way.
In light of this grand promotion for Flitwick, Alucard Logan, the Divination professor and Head of Slytherin, has been appointed Deputy Headmaster. He has only been teaching at Hogwarts for a few years but has proven to be a great asset to the school. Alongside Flitwick, they are both confident that they will steer the school towards excellence in their education as well as providing a safe and fun learning environment for the current and future students to come.
