It was already one week since the mid-terms were written and there were a lot of complaints. Lucius was going to make more board meetings for complaint sessions and the normal board meetings were for school improvement, the scholarship money and dealing with changes in the school. The complaints were about biased markings. Many students were marked harder than others. The board received some of the assignments and saw that the marking was completely non-sensical, because many things that were marked wrong were right, whereas the right was marked as wrong. And the comments were also not making any sense. Lucius was going to remind the staff that there were rules at the Hogwarts charter, how to mark, because the founders didn’t trust even the staff and headmaster, how they were marking the students and Rowena Ravenclaw put a strict guideline and wards around Hogwarts, how to mark the students, and wrong-doings would be punished in that way that Lady Hogwarts herself would check the assignments and change the marks of the assignment and in the records. She would put a black mark on the said teacher’s file, who unfairly marked the student. Lucius had seen that Minerva McGonagall, Andromeda Tonks and Thaddaeus Tonks had the most black marks in their record compared to the other teachers, who were trying to be at least fair. If Minerva was going to continue like this, then, she would be fired. The board could use that, but the woman would use the defence that she didn’t know about the black mark system and claim ignorance and most light siders would defend her, but to remove a staff member from Hogwarts or strip her from a position, they needed 75% of the board and currently, there were still too many light siders, who were loyal to the old man, so it would be impossible to touch her. But they needed only 50% to give her a probation period for the next five year, where the board would watch her closely and another year to prove that she wouldn’t need any supervision. If she did something wrong in the next five years, her contract would be terminated and she would be out of school at the end of month and there weren’t the 75% needed since she broke the probation period that the board put on her. If she broke the rules during her supervision period, she would be put under probation for another and another year of supervision, and she would be stripped from one of her positions as head of house of Gryffindor or the deputy headmistress position.
