"For example, clearer guidelines around what is or is not permissible to share with muggle relatives should be evaluated. Additionally, questions of underage use of magic should be reopened. Rather than a free-for-all, however, just slight changes and some consideration for how students, regardless of family make-up, can have opportunity to keep their skills sharp over summers."

Mostly, Preston wanted to open the question to the public rather than propose specific policy changes.

He stepped forward and shook the man's hand "Mr. Yenorin, dept head for International Cooperation." he said with a smile.

He nodded listening as he spoke and laid out where he stood. Paying close attention and curiosity appeared a little "Are you saying that you'd like to look into allowing students of Hogwarts age to be be allowed to use magic outside of school?" he asked. It in some ways would make sense yes, for instance for keeping the students from losing some of the hard lessons they'd had ability to practice and keep them fresh in their minds. But yet....

"How would we be able to control the use of that magic? Wouldn't that cause more problems, than good with keeping them from forgetting what they've learned. More catastrophes and accidents?" After all the students were still young and learning to control their magic. "They wouldn't be in a controlled environment if they were allowed to use magic away from the school. Hogwarts isn't completely a controlled environment, but out in the world, there is no telling what students might attempt if they have that priviledge of being able to use magic."
