The next Tuesday, she was picking nettes in the field when the group came back with a new ball. They started throwing it to each other and scoring goals with it. Gertie watched them from behind a rock and called the game "pointless rubbish". Then, the next Tuesday, Gertie went to Gwenog's for tea and they went out on the field. The group went back again and she and Gwenog watched them. They saw a neighbour who lived on the hill was now playing too.

Gertie observed they now had two flying rocks enchanted to try and knock other players off their broom. When Gwenog told Gertie that she played the game too, Gertie went home in contempt.

Improper Use of Magic Office

**Improper Use of Magic Office** is a sub-department of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic. They investigate violations of the International Statute of Secrecy, including under-age magic. It first appears in *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*.

## Function

If an underage witch or wizard uses magic at home, they are sent a letter from the office immediately. For their first offence, they are informed of the law and warned that a second offence could lead expulsion from Hogwarts. They are also informed that being witnessed by a Muggle is a very serious offence under section 13 of the International Confederation of Warlocks' Statute of Secrecy.

The office detectes cases of under-age magic by location, not by person. This isn't foolproof because even if they are not responsible for the magic (e.g. Harry Potter and Dobby), they will still be blamed for it.

## History

In the summer of 1992, Harry Potter was sent a letter when Dobby used the Hover Charm at 4 Privet Drive in the presence of Muggles who weren't aware about the wizarding world.

Her mother was ashamed of her daughter's theft and didn't tell anyone she had lost it. After she left, Rowena fell gravely ill and wanted to see her daughter before she died. On her deathbed, she asked the Bloody Baron to find her and bring her back to Hogwarts.

Helena learned that the Bloody Baron was searching for her and tried to hide in a forest in Albania. When he tracked her down, she hid the diadem inside a hollow tree. Helena refused to leave with him. After she turned down his advances and he realised she wouldn't return to Hogwarts, the Baron flew into a fit of rage and stabbed her with a knife. After she died, the Baron realised what he had done and felt remorse for killing her. He then killed himself with the same knife.

### Hogwarts ghost

However, the Board of Governors could vote to suspend a Headteacher if they are found unsuitable for the role.

## History

### Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

The two earliest known Headteachers are Everard and Dilys Derwent. They were popular and highly celebrated Heads. Dilys was the Head in the 18th century. She was once a Healer for St. Mungo's Hospital. She had a portrait hung up in both the school and St. Mungo's.

Armando Dippet was Headteacher by the time the Chamber of Secrets was opened by Tom Riddle which resulted in the death of Myrtle Warren. He let himself be fooled into holding Rubeus Hagrid responsible for it because he did not view Tom negatively. Dippet expelled Hagrid and gave Tom the Special Award for Services to the School.

Albus Dumbledore succeeded Dippet and was Headteacher during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. He was a powerful wizard whose presence kept Voldemort from trying to take over Hogwarts. Dumbledore was sacked on two occasions before getting reappointed. When the Chamber of Secrets was opened for a second time, Lucius Malfoy threatened the Board of Governors to sack him for incompetency. Minerva McGonagall was Acting Head in May 1993 until the situation was resolved. A few years later, when Cornelius Fudge found out about Dumbledore's Army, he was forced to flee the school to avoid arrest.

Dolores Umbridge took over when Dumbledore fled. She was unpopular with both students and staff. She was very strict and didn't teach proper Defence Against the Dark Arts because she didn't think there was a point to practical work. Eventually, she was tricked by Dumbledore's Army when she was taken to Dumbledore's "secret weapon" only to insult and get dragged away by centaurs. Dumbledore was later proven to be telling the truth about Voldemort and returned to Hogwarts.

When Dumbledore died, McGonagall was Acting Head again until Voldemort and the Death Eaters took over the Ministry of Magic in August 1997 and instated Severus Snape to be Headteacher. The Death Eaters controlled the school until the Battle of Hogwarts in May 1998. Snape was fled during the battle before he died. McGonagall took over, and formally succeeded when the Second Wizarding War ended.

McGonagall was succeeded by an unknown Headteacher.

They eat vegetation and their preferred food is lettuce. They have two ends which are indistinguishable, both producing mucus which is used to thicken potions.

## History

In September 1993, Rubeus Hagrid began teaching third-year students in Care of Magical Creatures about the Flobberworm. He was too upset about an incident involving Buckbeak in their first lesson to teach anything fun. It was boring, and lessons usually involved just feeding it shredded lettuce. By December, every Flobberworm had died because they had been overfed lettuce.

In June 1994, Hagrid was still too upset about what happened to Buckbeak. Third-years has an examination in which they just had to keep a Flobberworm living for an hour. It was the easiest test they had ever had.

— Hermione Granger[src]

This **cat** was a character in *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*.

The cat belonged to Millicent Bulstrode during her second-year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In December 1992, a piece of the cat's hair was attached to her school robes when she attended the Duelling Club. Thinking it was Millicent's hair, Hermione Granger took it during their duel and put it in a Polyjuice Potion. Doing so transformed Hermione into a part-human, part-cat. She spent weeks in the Hospital Wing getting it fixed.

Jarvey

A **Jarvey** is a beast in *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*. It is found in the wizarding world and looks like an overgrown ferret. It is capable of human speech and is a very adept but brutal hunter.

## About

Jarveys looks like overgrown ferrets. The species is native to the British Isles and North America, and they live underground. They hunt gnomes but their diet also involves moles, voles and rats. Jarveys are used to de-gnome gardens but they have very brutal hunting methods. They are capable of human speech but their language is limited. They only repeat very rude and short phrases. They are one of a few animals capable of speech who weren't taught by a Being.

## History

At one point, a Muggle named Benedict found what he thought to be an overgrown ferret in a basil plant. It leapt at him, pulled him to the ground, shouted for him to get "out of it baldy!" and then he was bit on the nose. Benedict wrote down what happened, and Newton Scamander would later find what he wrote and deduced he had in fact saw a talking Jarvey in pursuit of gnomes.

In the seventeenth century, the Chief of the Warlocks' Council, Elfrida Clagg defined Beings as those who could understand and speak human languages. She asked such Beings to show up at the next meeting, but it was very chaotic because a few creatures who showed up had very limited speech and caused havoc. Jarveys spent the day racing around the Council's chair legs and tearing at their ankles.

In 1811, the Warlocks' Council would define Jarveys to be a Beast instead of Beings because they weren't intelligent enough to understand the laws of witches and wizards.
