Ministry of Magic

The Ministry of Magic controlled everything that happened in the Wizarding World until it was revealed that Hogwarts did not really belong in their world, but was placed in another. The Ministry tried desperately to gain control of the school again and although Hogwarts did continue to follow some of the rules that the Ministry placed out, they were more allied with their neighbouring countries in the Magic Realm.

The Ministry blamed Freedom for the loss of Hogwarts but could do nothing about her doings. Instead they could only follow their own rules as Hermione Granger created a better living for half-breeds, such as werewolves, centaurs and giants, and Severus Snape proved that Sirius Black, who had been seen as a mass-murderer, was in fact innocent.
