"Oh!" she started, having remembered something, "The leader is called the..." Super? No. "Supreme... Mugwump?" "Yes, Kita that is a good description of what the International Confederation is. Their job is to help the magical communities of the world. Two points to you."

Just incase it came up in the exam next year. That would be what a good student would do. "Aren't they like a governing body that overseas all the nation's ministries, and I think they try to like make sure that nobody does anything really bad." Because that would be bad. "Very good as well, Finn. Two points."

"Very good description as well. Points for you too."

"Professor, the International Confederation of Wizards was started around 1690 by Pierre Bonaccord with the purpose to unite the wizarding world across the planet. And to like...keep our secret away from Muggles." "Very good, Legend. Two points to you."

"Professor, the International Confederation of Wizards is the wizarding version of the non-magical United Nations," she began. What? She grew up non-magical so many things she explained about the wizarding world she had to compare to what she grew up knowing. "What this means is that they are a governing body that overseas the various individual nations' councils and ministries. It is their business to know what is going on on a worldwide scale whereas the Ministry of Magic, I believe, is mostly concerned with Great Britain." Quote:

"She had read about that,fascinating the Slytherin could really need it now.Maybe she should read more.Hehe."That means it aproves laws." Quote:

With a small sigh, she raised her hand. "The International Confederation of Wizards are a governing body that oversee and set laws for the entire magical community. Not just Britain. They created the Statute of Secrecy back in 1692. Hiding witches and wizards away from muggles for their apparent safety and are also responsible for the control of magical creatures." Quote:

"Well, toward the end of the 1600s, persecution of Wizards by Muggles was getting super extreme! The magical community knew something had to be done, so they formed the Confederation. The Confederation met for the first time in France, led by its first Supreme Mugwump-- Pierre Bonaccord. Right now, every country's ministry is still subject to the codes that the Confederation made, especially the Statute of Secrecy. But it also involves things like regulations on trading flying carpets and determining the rights of trolls!"
Yup. That about exhausted Keefer's knowledge. He sat back down, not realizing that in his excitement he had leapt up. "Very well put. Two points for each of you girls."

That all encompassing theme throughout the rest of the classes. "Yes, Sabel. That was one of their actions that is well known. One point to you."

Simon guessed, he had no idea, he couldn't remember what they did. "They aren't completely in charge of that, but one point to you as well. We'll talk about just who makes sure wizards behave and such."

Turning her attention back to the professor, Sierra raised her hand. Of course she knew all about things like this by now. They'd discussed the topics in a number of their lessons so far. "They're the group responsible for hiding the wizarding world from the muggle world," she said. "They established the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy a few of the others have mentioned." "Yes, Sierra. That is very true. They established the Statue and are the ones responsible for the decision to hide the wizard world from the muggle world. One points."

It is them who makes sure anything any wizard does in front of a muggle that is magic is covered up and that person delt with. In other words they make sure that our world remains a secret to muggles in every wy they can", Chloe said raising her hand high. "True, they can up with it. But they alone don't enforce the Statue. One point."

Yeah that Statute that every Wizarding cop throws at you when you do something remotely wizardy within a few miles radius of a muggle. Party poopers. Quote:

The whaaat?
Never fear, Ellie had this, "They were a group," pause, "consisting of wizards from multiple nations."
Chyeaah.
"Oh and they did something about the Statute. Invented it or something."
Yeah, she was being lazy today. Maybe sugar would wake her up a bit? Sugar? Now? Yes? Hearing Ellie, she couldn't help but smile a bit and nodded.
"You have the jest of it. One point for you too."

He knew this. He remembered that lesson and he KNEW that it was connected to the statute in a way.
With one steadying breath, Jake just slumped forwards and head!desk'ed. Hard. And loud.
... "Ow." Quote:

Anyway. Neptune raised her hand. "Are there any witches in the Confederation?" Hearing the sound of wood coming in contact with flesh, she frowned and looked to Jake. That must have hurt and that did concern her. She had a feeling the topic of the lesson wouldn't actually be welcome as she wanted but there wasn't much she could do about it now.
"Yes, the Confederation consists of both wizards and witches. The name is a bit misleading, isn't it? But I can assure you that witches are represented in the Confederation. "

She knew it was more than just that but that was all that came to mind. "Well, that is what the Statue is meant to do. The Confederation is just the governing body that established it."

After weeks of discussing, they decided on how the wizarding world would retreat into hiding,which included the covering up of various magical beasts and eliminating them from all the Muggle consciousness.
"Yes, Nerida. One point to you for your description, but next time maybe you could put that in your own words. Direct quoting from the text leaves something to be desired."

The Wizard Confederation....International...wha?
Staring at the professor, from the back of the class, since her mind soooooo wasn't giving her any clue as to where her friends were or if they were even in here at the moment, the Slytherin girl just sat there almost like a zombie, but prettier and totally better. Need to wake up! The Wizard International Confederation...was a thingy...
That had to do with Wizards...
Pffft, yea. Catching sight of a certain She-Snake in the back, she took notice the abense of the other two. Rather odd, but she pushed away the though as she heard a question and returned her attention to Emily again.

She had signed up for Muggle Studies this term, but she had also signed up for other things. And so far it had been disappointing. She was not enjoying the Ministry intervention and the curriculum changes. "We, the professors and I, have been given a curriculum and we are teaching it. I would think you as students would like the fact that every thing is related." she added with a shrug. "Muggles are linked to us and of course, I'm going to talk about them and how they relate to our history."
Yes, this was the kind of reception she was kind of scared of receiving over this lesson.
"Okay, class. There is no point in even trying to tiptoe around this. The Statue is an important part of history and that is what we will be talking about. Some of you have mentioned why it was established. But can any of you tell me more about it? Or better yet, state examples of the Statue in use."
