This rocks. Too many fanfictions whitewash how much the rest of the staff is responsible for the problems at Hogwarts. The only thing I really question is the praise for Sprout here. She helped with the Philosopher's Stone problems, and was cold to Harry during the tri-wizard tournament. She could have used a more dangerous plant for her trap in the former, and she could have done more to reign in the way Harry was treated in the latter. She perhaps has not been as actively neglectful as Flitwick or McGonagall, but I'm not sure I would want her as headmistress either.

Logic, professional standards, moral resposibility and consistency in a boardin school for children? Outrageous! ;-)

Loved this! Wonder if the Muggle Studies proffessor is as out of date as fanon says and Hermione's 3rd year hints would seem to imply?

Again another story that can go places.

It is a smart story.

I wish some parent had been thinking while their children were forced to endure Albus.

Also as an aside, kids have allergies to grasses and other summer weeds. Sometimes a parent is the one to the lawn mowing. What can we do?

I LOVE it!!!! Those four really nailed it! The way you wrote it, it is completely believable. I'd love to read a continuation. Really!

Oh, yes! This was fun, and I really look forward to more. Great take on post-war Hogwarts. Or wizarding Britain, as I expect we'll get to take a look at the world beyond Hogwarts. Efficient dealing with the teachers, no nonsense yet kind. Me like! Thanks a bunch, keep it up. Cheers!

This. Was. Great!!
You brought all four characters to life. And I loved the Sally disapperance reference! Mostly it was so nice to see someone say what I've been thinking about the staff all this time!

Thank you so much! I enjoyed this story - especially the points of failure by the staff during Dumbledore's reign of terror. I guessed something was going on with the drinks and was delighted with your "curse".

While this doesn't resemble any school-board meeting I've ever been to, or even heard about -- except maybe the poisoning part; it was a fun read.

A good little ficlet, worth the read and something different!

I like it, but the one fault I had was that Malfoy actually drank the potion. He strikes me as more paranoid than that, esp. when surrounded by so many enemies.
Would like to see more like this, little vignettes of other characters in the post DH world. Definitely agree with the idea that Neville would be more likely to go the political power route than Harry ever would, unless the others begged him to

My view was that Lucius might be paranoid, but he never suspected that any of the children would have the stones to actually challenge him.

- Harry's done with the whole world saving business, that however, doesn't mean he isn't going to be a figurehead for quite a few people who want things to be different...

Excellent short story. While many other stories have always called Professor McGonagal (sp) the fairest, the questions you brought up pose and interesting light. A Well written amusing tale that has temporarily sated my need for new Harry Potter FanFiciton! Thank you.

This is an excellent story. I love the way the "new board members" went through all the reasons for the problems in Hogwarts and how they dealt with them. Very well thought out and very well balanced. The old bad with the new good. Thanks for writing a very good resolution to the problems at Hogwarts. pms

Well done. I'm glad you were able to write this and avoid the temptation to have Harry mastermind or fix everything himself, a temptation to which far too many authors succumb. Pomona Sprout does seem like the best choice of the Heads of House to be the Head of Hogarts.
