Werewolf Code of Conduct HM Icon

The official document of this declaration

"That was far easier than I thought it would be. I needn't have learned about the 1637 Werewolf Code of Conduct or the uprising of Elfric the Eager."
Hermione Granger, on her History of Magic exam in 1992[src]

The Werewolf Code of Conduct, developed in 1637 by the Wizards' Council, was a set of rules outlining the responsibilities of werewolves, such as preventing any possible attacks by locking themselves up securely every month.[1]

Unsurprisingly, the Werewolf Code of Conduct was ultimately a failure, seeing as no one showed up to sign it, since no one was prepared to admit to being a werewolf due to the great stigma among the wizarding society.[1]

History[]

Fifth year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were taught about the Werewolf Code of Conduct in History of Magic by Professor Cuthbert Binns, in preparation for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels.[2]

In June 1992, Hermione Granger studied the Werewolf Code of Conduct in preparation for her first year exam in History of Magic, but the subject did not appear on the examination paper.[3]
