History
Early Years
Some things happened.
Reform
Some other things happened. Girls wore long skirts.
Selwyn Era
Marilla Selwyn was appointed Minister for Magic following the shocking assassination of the former Minister, Elspeth Redgrave, during a speech at Hogwarts School. Minister Redgrave believed strongly in the concept of blood purity, and had sought to create a separate school for Muggleborns and those with significant Muggle ancestry. The new school, nearly complete in its construction, was destroyed in an explosion shortly after Regrave's assassination.
Minister Selwyn abandoned nearly all of the policies of her predecessor, supporting co-education of muggleborn and pureblood students, and continued the stance held by many past Ministers that certain magic was too dangerous to be allowed unrestricted use by Wizards.
During the later part of Selwyn's tenure, three students were witnessed to have been murdered with the use of a killing curse during a Quidditch game at Hogwarts School, and a break in occurred at Gringotts, long believed to be among the most secure banks in the world. An auror training programme for young people, The Advanced Guard, was instituted as a response to these event as well as to other reports of increasing criminal activity, and to counter-act a rising social and political movement agitating for looser restrictions on spells. During the Spring of 1933, aurors of the Advanced Guard and students engaging in a practice session by the Hogwarts Lake were said to have been attacked by persons unknown, which led to the death of another student and several arrests. The attack cast doubts in the minds of many on the Ministry's ability to protect the public from deadly harm. Some wondered if they wouldn't be better off protecting themselves...
St. Auxpris Era
During the Summer of 1974, vast and sweeping change began at the Ministry of Magic. Allegations of corruption and illicit activities arose surrounding Minister Selwyn, leading to her resignation at the behest of a majority of the Wizengamot. The then Head of the Department of International Cooperation, Pieter St. Auxpris, was quickly tapped to replace her. During the following months, Minister St. Auxpris, a supporter of the quickly growing political movement known as The Order, launched investigations into mishandlings of past criminal cases, replaced several Department Heads and other major officials, and lifted the ban on many spells once classified as illegal 'Dark Magic,' including allowing the Killing Curse to be used for self defence when the caster had reason to believe that his or her life was at grave risk.
The Ministry also created a new position to review the practices at Hogwarts School. Francis Turin was appointed as Head of Magical Education. The former Auror training programme, the Advanced Guard, was soon disbanded, but efforts to alter other aspects of the curriculum at Hogwarts met with resistance from much of the staff. Still, efforts continued, and the pressure on Hogwarts to bring itself in line with the current laws was increasing by the day...
