The Terrifying Quagmire

Hogwarts had indeed been transformed beyond recognition...

After pondering for a moment, Sean asked, "What are they teaching at Hogwarts now?"

Niya hesitated. "I stayed at the school for three years before I met the boss... she was the one who helped me escape. So I don't know much about what happened later, either. The professors usually didn't allow us to talk privately much, and there were voice-transmitting birds in the dormitories... In class, they taught basic spells and how to cultivate greater magical power. Oh, and starting from third year, the Dark Arts became a compulsory subject."

Sean frowned. "No more History of Magic? What about Potions and Herbology? There weren't even electives when you were in third year?"

Niya shook her head. "None of them. I did hear that Hogwarts used to have many subjects, but they had all been cancelled at least several years before I enrolled..."

If Niya were still attending school, she would now be in her fourth year. But regardless, based on the timeline she had provided, Hogwarts had already undergone a massive overhaul before Sean of this timeline enrolled.

Hogwarts was the largest prison in the entire Wizarding World, and that prison's territory was expanding to encompass the whole Wizarding World.

Dumbledore was Hogwarts's Headmaster, the Minister for Magic of the British Ministry of Magic, and even the honorary chairman
