Prologue V: Has Malfoy Gone Mad?
"Did you see this? 250,000 galleon budget!" -- Random 1 exclaimed
"100,000 galleons paid directly by the Malfoys." -- Random 2 said

"Has Malfoy gone mad?" Mrs. Weasley asked, "100,000 galleons! With that kind of money, we could get George and Fred new robes!" (And a lot more)
"He's taken control of Hogwarts," Arthur grunted. "Thank goodness Bill graduates after this semester, I do worry about Fred and George though." He then cast a forlorn glance out the window of the kitchen only to witness he twin sons shoving an unfortunate gnome down Ron's pants. Never mind, he thought.
"That's true, I do worry about them," Molly replied as she continued doing the dishes, while thinking that she was going to be happy that the two troublemakers will be out of her hair very soon.

The following morning, Rita Skeeter and the Daily Prophet released a special news report detailing the life of one Gregory Gage.
Gregory Gage, born in 1950, making him 39, is amongst the youngest headmasters to grace Hogwarts' halls. He is also one of only two headmasters to have not taught at Hogwarts prior to becoming headmaster. After graduating from Hogwarts with O's in Ancient Runes, Charms, Arithmancy, Alchemy (a recently reinstated class), and Potions, he became enraptured with muggle mathematics and the science of magnetism. This led to him getting a Doctorate in Physics from Oxford, where he later used his money and connections to become a professor and Vice Dean at the institution.
Being a pureblood from Slytherin house, many within the circle of nobility started calling him 'The Black Sheep' due to him becoming a professor at a muggle college.
He is a father 3, the eldest are twins, Brenda Gage (Slytherin) and Justin Gage (Hufflepuff), who will be entering their third year in the fall. His youngest, Frederick Gage enters Hogwarts in the coming term.
His wife, Jessica Gage nee Selwyn (Ravenclaw), is currently serving nine months in Azkaban for exploding a muggle during a magical charm experiment gone wrong.
His first moves as Headmaster are to reinstate the Alchemy class, disband the dueling club, create the dueling class, implement a rewards system, create an intraschool dueling tournament, and expand the Quidditch program.
These moves were followed by massive funding from the Board of Governors, particularly Lucius Malfoy, who demonstrate through actions that they are fully behind the new Headmaster.
This begs the question, are Malfoy and Gage secret lovers. Only a lover would be willing to spend 100,000 galleons on their beloved, and we already know of Mr. Malfoy's tendency to lean away from the fairer sex.
Additionally, in a shocking move, former headmaster Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore stays on at Hogwarts as the DADA professor and Honorary Vice Headmaster.
This writer looks forward to seeing whether or not the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot can stay on as DADA professor for more than one year.

"What the f*ck is this bullsh*t!" Lucius Malfoy raged as he threw his glass at the wall, shattering it.
"Calm down, Lucius, you are scaring Draco," Narcissa said calmly, while holding a startled Draco's hand.
Red in the face Lucius responded, "Calm down! Narcissa, she just said I had a love affair with the new headmaster, you know I'm into blondes not brunettes, how dare she!"

"Hahahahahaha! YOU'RE GAY!!!!!!!" Old Tom said, as he rolled on the grimy floor of the Leaky Cauldron laughing. "And your lover is Malfoy! Rita Skeeter, what a wonderful witch."
Laughter continued to permeate the bar, as Gregory chuckled, "She certainly knows how to entertain."
"I can't believe you got 250,000 galleons out of those fools on the board. I can't wait for little Hannah to go to school with you as headmaster." Tom said, after casting 'scourgify' on himself to clean off the muck from the floor.
"Truthfully, I only needed 150,000 to do my reforms, the extra 100,000 is just a cherry on top, I will have to think about how to use it properly," Gregory replied. Who would have thought they were not going to negotiate, and 150,000 galleons for basic maintenance, what was Dumbledore doing with all that money, at most 50,000 galleons was needed for maintenance, materials, scholarships, and wages. Baffling.
(Author's Note, obviously he spent 100,000 galleons on candy)

The atmosphere was somber, as Dumbledore began packing up the headmaster's office. His new office would be in the DADA classroom.
"♪
So long, farewell
Auf widersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye
♪ " (So Long Farewell {Sound of Music})
The frame of Phineas Nigellus Black sang as he watched Dumbledore pack up the office.
"And so, the Gryffindor returns to his place, and we welcome the best house back as headmaster once more, Slytherin," Phineas said.
"Don't listen to him, Albus," a Hufflepuff headmaster said. "We will miss having a headmaster as knowledgeable as you."
"Yes, yes, a headmaster who made Hogwarts go from being the best school in the world to the worst, very knowledgeable," Phineas said sarcastically. "I brought Hogwarts back to glory after all the past headmasters ruined Slytherin's great legacy. I then had the displeasure of witnessing you and Dippet ruin this institution. Fortunately, another Slytherin has blessed this institution as headmaster. After all the failures before me and after me, it is only Slytherins who have any sense."
"That's it, I have had enough of your sh*t!" a Ravenclaw headmaster said. As she and other past headmasters began filling up Phineas' frame.
"Fine, I'll take you on and prove Slytherin is the best," Phineas declared as he launched a punch at a nearby Gryffindor headmaster. Then a massive brawl (beating) ensued with lots of kicking, hair pulling, and biting.
"Fight fair! One at a time!" Phineas complained while being overwhelmed by the other headmasters.
"Hold his legs steady!" the Hufflepuff headmaster commanded as he landed an elbow drop on the prone Slytherin headmaster.
