HOGWARTS - In a surprise turn of events, Mohamed Sahnoun will remain Headmaster at Hogwarts following Meredith Moxley's decision to remain at Ilvermorny.

What was intended to be a one-year multi-school swap concocted by the International Confederation of Wizards has become an international game of dominos. The exchange program had sent Hogwarts Headmistress Moxley to Ilvermorny and brought the Uagadou Headmaster Sahnoun to Hogwarts for the 2089-2090 school term. The intent of the program was that all Heads would return to their schools of origin the following year.

However, Ilvermorny extended an offer to Moxley to continue on at their institution, allowing her to pursue her research into how the American no-maj population differs from our own muggles. This produced a vacancy at Hogwarts, which was then offered to Sahnoun. While Sahnoun told us that the Ilvermorny Headmaster had decided to retire, Ilvermorny representatives could not be reached for comment as to whether he resigned, was fired, or had been mysteriously carried off by Brazilian caipora during a visit to Castelobruxo.

Sahnoun accepted the post, citing his desire to continue the work he'd started during his first year. "Being at Hogwarts was such an enriching experience, and I feel like there is much I can continue to provide for the school under my leadership,” he told the Daily Prophet. He brings on a number of new staff following the resignations of several of the faculty for reasons unrelated to his tenure. He also cited further relationship building with students, and enhanced communication with the wider community as priorities.

As for Uagadou, the temporary Head during the swap did not choose to stay. The deputy who worked under Sahnoun has instead taken on the role. Sahnoun expressed his utmost confidence in her, saying, "Though there is a part of me that is sad about not returning to Uagadou, I know that the school is in very capable hands under the leadership of my former Deputy Headmistress.”
