The Wizengamot, being the wizarding equivalent of a Supreme Court of a country, can order the school to expel a student. But again, technically, the school has to perform the expulsion. Either way, the ministry definitely has no authority to expel a student. | |

It would, at the very least, be highly misleading as it is phrased—something that could very easily be fixed simply by moving the reference to the DRRUC up in the sentence: phrasing it “underage wizards are not permitted to perform spells outside school (DRRUC, Paragraph C), and further spellwork…” would have put the Ministry on much safer ground. The fact that they didn’t is what leads me to believe this isn’t the intended interpretation. | |
