Albus sighed deeply. This argument was getting old. "Andromeda, Nymphadora, I know, but it is Severus’ schedule and I can’t change the schedule that he is submitting to the board and the board is always crawling to him, when he points out that the NEWTs in potions are for those, who wanted to be aurors, healers, mind healers etc. Nymphadora, you need to understand that Severus with his titles as Lord Prince has a bit more sway over the board than Minerva and due to his connection with the potion mastery guild, Severus had looked at the ICW-schedule that he is using currently in the school." The girl and the woman seethed. They hated that someone from an old family had more sway than the deputy-headmistress. Minerva wasn’t able to stop Severus’ schedule like every year. When Nymphadora finished her OWLs, Minerva tried to reject Severus’ teaching schedule, but it had failed like always, because Severus claimed that the NEWTs are up to date with the ICW-schedule in potion. Minerva seethed, when Severus dared to argue with her that the teaching standards would remain like this in potion.
