Part 1 - What\'s This? A Scheming Headmaster?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

People say that change is good, and more often than not, they are correct. But Harry Potter thinks that this is one of those times that they are wrong, vastly and undeniably wrong. And he is the the only one. Draco Malfoy thinks the same thing, and this would be the one and only time that these two have ever agreed on anything throughout their entire school career that spanned the last six years.

With the demise of Voldemort two years earlier, the wizarding world breathed a collective sigh of relief that they were safe once again. It would be a long time coming before the next Dark Lord would make an appearance. While some people said that it would never happen, others knew that it was inevitable. There has to be a balance of good and bad, light and dark. Luckily it would not be until many generations later that this came to pass.

While changes were being made throughout the wizarding world at large, changes were also being made in their schools. During the previous summer, the Headmasters from Hogwarts, Durmstrang, Beauxbattons, Hamilton and Galloway met to discuss such changes. Several items were reviewed and while some were accepted by all five, some ideas were left up to each Headmaster to decide at their own discretion.

One idea that was accepted with an unanimous vote was a student exchange program. It was agreed that two seventh year students from each house would be allowed to participate, and to keep things fair, sent to different schools. Their schedules would transfer from one school to the next, as the majority of the classes were the same. If there were differences, they would be adjusted accordingly, based on what alternate courses were available at a particular school.

During the meeting, a list of possible participants was drawn up by each Headmaster, pending parental or guardian approval of course. Letters were quickly written and owled, outlining the program and what would be expected of each student if granted permission to participate in this new endeavor. It was also requested that the students keep this news to themselves until the Great Feast, when the Headmasters would make the announcement. Surprisingly, their answers were received that same day or the next.

Once the necessary forms had been returned, the Headmasters decided where each student was to continue their studies, schedules were finalized, school records and personal information was exchanged, giving a bit of insight on their new charges.

Dumbledore smiled to himself as he reviewed the final list, his spectacled eyes settling on a certain pair of names. This promised to be an interesting year, he thought with a certain all-knowing twinkle in his eye, and was a bit sorry that he would not be there to enjoy the fireworks that resulted from one of his decisions.
