What Happened to Hogwarts?
Imagine if Harry and Dumbledore lost the Battle for Hogwarts.
Random Word Drabble Challenge Day 30 Word is Faculty
With Voldemort as the Headmaster, the faculty undergoes an ominous transformation.
Bellatrix Lestrange teaches Dark Arts and Transfigurations. Snape is still the Potions Master, but potions now include poison and torture. Greyback oversees the Care of Magical Creatures.
Divinations and Muggle Studies are done away with — no need for that rubbish.
Malfoy is head of Slytherin House. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff become slums under Crabbe, Goyle, and Parkinson.
A new Death Eaters Den is added.
Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven for witches and wizards — except purebloods.
Dumbledore, Hagrid, Harry, and the gang escape and form a new school.
