"Thank you, Headmaster. My sister and I have noticed that there are a few subjects that need a complete turnover in its syllabus or have a need to be removed."

Everyone nodded at this and ushered him to continue. "I feel that Divination is a subject that needs to be removed completely from the elective subject list. It is completely useless to anyone who is NOT a seer and is a complete waste of time. From the information that I received from Professor McGonagall when Lady Boldon-Romanov, Lord Black, Lord Lupin, Headmaster Dumbledore, herself and I were speaking before the meeting, and from my personal experience, the current divination teacher, Professor Trelawney has predicted the death of a student every year. But it turns out to be false as the student is hale and hearty by the end of the year. Personal experience because this past year, she always predicted my death." he said.

Everyone raised their eyebrows at this piece of information. "So what I propose, is to allow the continuation of the subject for those who have entered fourth and fifth academic year and remove it from elective list of the students who are freshly entering their third year." The other Board members nodded at this proposal. Lord Zabini stood up and said "I second the motion. Even though my son Blaise and Lord Potter-Peverell are rivals in school, he too shares the same views as his classmate from what he told me"

Dumbledore acknowledged the proposal. "The said proposal is so recognized. Who all agree to the solution?" he asked. Everyone agreed to it by raising their wands and lighting tip to a light blue colour. Griselda Marchbanks raised her wand and asked when she was recognised "What if there is a student who have the talent of being a seer?" "We can hold special classes only for them on weekends or however their timetable suits to hold classes, Lady Marchbanks." Said Harry. She nodded and sat back down.

"The next proposal Lady Boldon-Romanov, if you would." He said as he regained his seat. "Thank you, Lord Potter-Peverell." She said as she stood up. "The second one is regarding Muggle Studies. I checked with a few of my classmates and friends from various years by borrowing their textbooks and by checking out books from the library as well. What we know about them is outdated and is what they found and invented is not going ahead of the sixties. This includes both mine and my brother's personal experience with the muggle world. We may be purebloods. But we have lived in the Muggle world before this summer. So, what I propose is that we send the current teacher, Professor Charity Burbage on a sabbatical to learn more about what's happening and update her knowledge."
