| Term 33: January - April 2013 Term Thirty-Three: Board of Governors Elections (September 2079 - June 2080) |
01-29-2013, 10:10 PM
| | The Debate and Dunking Platform At the center of the glass charmed pavilion is a special platform set up for the debate. On the platform is a podium for the MCs to make announcements from with five chairs to the left of it. These are the charmed-to-stay-dry chairs for the Headmistress, Professor Cerulean, and the three MCs.
To the right of podium is a row of equally special chairs. These chairs have the last name of one of the candidates on the back of each one. They have also been charmed to be used at the end of the ceremony during the dunking portion of the debate. But that comes later...
In each seat throughout the whole pavilion is a voting ballot that will be explained and used towards the end of the debate, and also a program agenda. This is so you have an idea of what the plan is for the day. And yes, that is each of the candidates' faces in the program... maybe you should keep it and frame it when this is all over!
At the front of the platform about six feet away from the row of candidate chairs are three dunking booths built into the platform. The water inside each dunking booth has been charmed purple and floating in the water is a cloudy black number (1, 2, 3) made out of water to help number each tank.
Candidates, please come have a seat and wait for the fun to get started! The Committee has worked hard to put together today's Debate and there's sure to be some splashing fun! CANDIDATES AND SPECIAL GUESTS ONLY MAY POST IN THIS THREAD. |

Gemma walked up the stairs to the platform and looked at all of the decorations with pride. The Student Committee had done an awesome job putting everything together...she smiled as she glanced up at the snow on the glass pavilion...what a great touch.
She walked up to the podium and put an updated copy of the script on the top shelf for the student MCs to follow. She then started working on a charm to make everyone's voice standing at the podium loud. Once she was done with the charm, she did a little 'mic' check. "Check, Check, 1...2...3..." then she stepped back from the podium and started making her rounds to make sure everything was perfect.

Bennett Young International Cooperation | Sardine VIP || Shark Attack! || D A R T E R || Captain Oblivious Carter did not stumble! NO SIR. He did NOT. Despite being pushed on stage by his lovely campaign manager.
And that was not sarcastic. Carter did like Kurumi's dad very much. Hopefully the debate went well because he had a feeling Mr. Hollingberry would be a fantastic asset to his campaign.
Plus, Mr. Manager approved of his image. Not many people could pull off such a look. He adjusted the googles on his forehead one more time before confidently walking across the stage. "Sounds great Professor." he said brightly as he passed the Chairperson doing the mic check.
Now... where was he supposed to --
MERLIN!
THAT CHAIR HAD HIS NAME ON IT! He took a seat and then flashed his manager an excited thumbs up.
Now... he just had one very important question that he hoped would be answered. If he won... was he still able to get dunked? Because... that sounded like fun.

Alice got a DRY chair. Because she was an MC, mmhmm. She felt excited. What was better than sitting back and watching a bunch of old people get drenched? Nothing, obviously. The little fourth year hopped over to her Muggle Studies professor as soon as she saw her, offering the lady a smile. "Hullo, Professor Cerulean," she greeted, still beaming, but now eyeing the podium. She didn't have to get on that thing NOW, did she?
So she just stood below it, right next to her DRY chair, watching the professor with wide eyes and waiting for more old people to arrive. Yeah, the ones that were going to get dunked. This was entertainment, yeah? Fidget.
Sherman was nervous. Very nervous. He had questions, first of all. WHERE was he supposed to put his wheelchair?! What if his narcolepsy acted up in the middle of this debate and he dozed off? What if he had to get dunked? It wasn't good manners to drop the elderly into tubs of freezing water, was it? He didn't want to be shoved into one of those. Which meant he had to give answers, and good ones. Fidget. Again.
The candidate wheeled over to the chairs set up for him and his opponents (yeah, it wasn't EASY getting on that platform while sitting on this hunk of metal, but he managed), picking out the one that had his name on it and carefully nudging it out of the way to make room for his wheelchair. "Yes, that sounds absolutely fine, miss," he informed the professor with a tentative smile, reassuring her right after that Phillips boy.
And.. now.. what? Fidget more? He could do that, easily.

Making his way to the platform, Gav saw a few candidates already there offering them both a smile as well to the student that had taken a seat "Hello." he said kindly to each of them. Making his way to the chair that had his name on it he looked around before taking a seat on it. The first debate. How hard could this be? He'd attended a few in the past and knew sort of what to expect, so hoped he'd do fine.
He just wished Kat was there in the audience. But...sadly enough that wasn't going to happen.
Maybe not ever again...

| Sardines ♥ BHB ♥ Dallie ♥ Grumpy ♥ MY SUN AND STARS ♥ i love julia Without a trace of nervousness or anxiety in her being, Ivy Knox stepped confidently onto the debate platform with a pleasant smile on her face. She would show Mr. Montgomery an 'attitude change' alright. Ivy was happy to be here. She was excited to share her thoughts and ideas with the students of Hogwarts and other people in attendance.
She just hoped to Merlin that she wouldn't get dunked. Swimming was not her thing.
As she looked for her chair, she gave her hello's to her fellow candidates, her eyes perplexedly lingering on the young Quidditch player who looked like he was ready to go to a four year-old's summer birthday party. Strange boy. Ivy found her chair and took a seat, crossed her legs and waited for the program to begin. |

| Dem Carters | even 🕊🕊 have pride | | Expecto PAWtronum 🐈 | U-NA-GI She was present, yep. And not nearly as nervous as some of her fellow candidates seemed to be. Was she even nervous at all? Of course, she was. But when one debated and argued with people for a living, it was rather hard to get nervous about things like this.
Actually, truth be told, Roxanne was thinking more about her fellow MLEers. And hoping that some of them would come out to support her. Surely they would.....
She walked across the stage area, found her seat and wait quietly for the debate to start.

| ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf With a new-found spring in his step, Cooper strode onto the stage, extending a hand up as a small reserved MANLY wave. Best to please the crowd, no?
He cloacked his usual toothy grin with what he hoped was a more 'intimidating' but 'powerful' closed lip smile. Doable.
Taking his seat, he turned his head to see the Muggle Studies Professor do a check of the system. He acknowledged her with a small nod, then sat, STRAIGHT, waiting patiently for the debate to begin.

| Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up She was ready. Lourdes was ready. After that meet up with her manager, Doctor Heiderich (who preferred to be called Elric instead), the woman told herself that she could do it. She was a tad nervous, but she swallowed that feeling and switched on her confidence. Lourdes walked onto the stage with a smile on her face. Impressions were important to her, since some of them would last for a long time.
When she finally took her seat, Lourdes looked at the people in the room. Professors, students from Hogwarts, even the Headmistress she noticed. Well it wasn't a big surprise. In fact she was kind of feeling chatty today, which was weird. But she'll save that for the questions later on.

Confidence was radiating off the woman as she strut her way unto the platform waving at the people there. Yes this was definitely her kind of scene. She was not at all nervous considering she had done press conference after press conference and public appearances on behalf of the Minister of Magic and for the prophet so this was another Friday afternoon scroll in the park for her or whatever day it was. Layla took her seat and crossed her legs and looked out at the sea of people. It certainly was a lovely turn out wasn't it, but she was looking for the face of her husband. Was he going to be there or was he back at the wand shop doing wand maker business?
Anyways, they needed to get this show on the road, she was feeling a bit peckish again.

| ♥ Slytherpuff ♥ dancer ♥ totally awesome :: Starkid lover It was hard to tell whether she was ready or not yet. The meeting with her manager was extremely short, so she couldn't say that she exactly got a huge amount of help from them. But she felt that on her own she was feeling good. The only thing that she wasn't liking very much was the look of the dunking platform. She hoped to dear God that she wouldn't have to be dunked because that would be horrible.
Putting on her most confident smile Amelia walked up the to the debate and hopefully not dunking platform. She choose one of the seats that was more in the middle of the stage because it made her feel more confident to be in that place. Crossing her legs she waited for it all to begin.

Gemma smiled at each of the candidates as they began to take their seats. She glanced at her MC's and smiled at the encouragingly. She step closer to the podium and said, "If everyone will start to take their seats, we will get started momentarily." she said with excitement surging through her veins. She loved this kind of thing!

Bernadette O. Grantham Law Enforcement Ministry RPG Name:
David O. Truebridge Mysteries | Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB The Headmistress was both honored and surprised that she was given a seat on the stage. She had been a little wary at first when Gemma had invited her up there, mostly because there was so much WATER nearby, but Annie accepted anyway. She loved being in the spotlight, who was she kidding.
And she was so curious to watch how these candidates handled themselves today. So very curious.
Flipping her hair over one shoulder, the infamous redhead click-clacked her way across the platform to her waterproof chair. She paused in front of it and shrugged off her fancy fur coat, settling it on the back of the chair since it was warm enough inside the charmed pavilion to not need it, and then sat down in her chair at last.
She crossed her feet at the ankles and took a moment to scope out all the candidates. Most looked very nice, very professionally dressed. Good for them! Except for that one, with the hideous octopus brooch. Merlin, he needed a stylist. And a hair trim.
Annie reserved these thoughts though and instead opened her program, reading it over until the debate fully began. Oh look at that, student MCs! Well done, Gemma, well done.

| lives in a hobbit hole || Ern and Touz's Nuzzle || roflysst || looking at a seed packet Althea was feeling a bit peaky, but she figured it was perhaps the beginnings of a cold or something, though she rarely got sick and was actually used to rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off.
She headed to her seat and actually smiled at the other candidates. Big bubbly smile. She resisted the sudden urge to ask them all about their assigned managers, and how their days were collectively going, and my weren't the temperature charms well cast in here? Her mind was so busy that even were she the type to have nerves, and she was not, she wouldn't have had the space for them.
Thea took her cloak and scarf off and draped them over the back of her chair before sitting down and looking about, bright-eyed. Oh too bad she wasn't close enough to the headmistress to comment on that lovely coat! She'd have to save it for later.

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Time for the debate. Merlin... Atticus was definitely still nervous, even with his manager's advice still playing in his head. He would be fine as long as he thought before speaking and chose his words well - that certainly made sense. Still though, what if something went wrong? He didn't know what could go wrong, but what if, you know? This was a wizarding community after all. A thousand and one things could go wrong at any given time. So a bunch of things could go wrong and-
This was just nerves talking. Right? Everything would be fine.
As he walked onto the stage, he managed to appear quite calm and even smiled warmly at those present on stage as well as he took his seat. Yes, everything would be fine, and the debate would go well for him and be over before he even knew it hopefully.

Nolan felt bad that he barely got a few words in with his campaign manager due to his little upset with Scarlett, but now it was time for the debate and he needed to pull it together. He entered the debate area and his eyes immediately fell to--the dunk tank. Uh oh. That better not be for them!!
Not focusing on the tank, he tried to think in his mind about his responses to the questions and the debate, so he could do his best to not act like he'd been a psycho father in St. Mungos just a few hours earlier.

The campaign manager meeting had gone well enough, so here he was now, ready to debate. Erik jogged the few steps up to the platform and made his way to his seat, taking in the sights from earlier and noting the late addition of a dunk tank. He nodded to his competitors but didn't say much else. He was more interested in observing than speaking, for now.
That dunk tank though...he hoped at least Gavin would have a chance to enjoy that. The man and wet things got along so nicely.

She glanced over at all of the candidates and almost felt like whimpering.
Some of them looked scary.
The old man wasn't.
But that blond-lady was.
"Hey Alice," she smiled and turning to Professor Cerulean she just smiled. "Hi Professor Cerulean" she smiled brightly. Cerulean was an awesome name. She loved that color.

It wasn't his first choice of birthday plans, but at least he had a date to look forward to after this. Plus, he looked good. Mostly because Anya had picked out his clothes. But nobody needed to know that.
Stepping onto the platform, Jake took his seat at the chair marked KELLER. After glancing around, he looked back at the people near him. "Hello, Headmistress Truebridge. Professor Cerulean." Blond girl he didn't know. "Ali." Grin.
Also, Carter. Jake gave the guy a wave, but that was it. Were they allowed to talk to candidates? Would that show favoritism? Did it matter? |

Once it seemed that everyone was in their place and having a seat, she started talking again with her sweet smile on her face, "“Welcome to the Hogwarts Board of Governors Debate."[/b] she paused for applause and then continued, "[b]This is the first debate of this year’s election.

On behalf of the committee and Hogwarts, we are excited that you are here with us today.” she glanced out into the crowd and then nodded slightly towards the candidates.
After a short pause, she continued, "Before we get started, I would like to introduce some special people here with us this afternoon. First I would like to introduce Headmistress Anastasia Truebridge." she motioned towards the Headmistress and lead the applause, " Also, would all professors and staff from Hogwarts please stand up to be recognized." another pause and another lead of applause, " And finally, I would like to introduce our Hogwarts Board of Governors Student Debate Committee. Please stand up as your name is called: Amelia Kaikour, Oichi Pauldine, Edvard Messer, Minerva Wheatborn, Sarah Edwards, Jake Keller, Anya Phillips, James Silsbury, Alice Fischer and Tiffany Pevensie." she paused in between each of the names giving them time to stand up and then led the applause at the end of all of the names. She was very proud of their hardwork and knew they needed to be thanked and recognized most of all.

| Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN When Corin finally managed to pry the woman that was supposed to be his Campaign Manager off himself he made his way towards the stage, never breaking pace or his pleasant but rather detached demeanor as he eyed those dunk tanks. Of course on the inside he was giving the figurative stink-eye at the Hogwarts debate organizers. Really they were also comedy fodder? Somebody should've told him to bring his rubbery red nose.
He managed to locate his seat that has his name-- which was misspelled. Sighs, he knew he should've just signed up using his nickname. Had he hoped for too much for current Hogwartians to pay attention to details? Perhaps. Another sad thing of note to add to his observations....
He sat himself in his seat and ironed out his tie with his hand, sighing quietly. Right lets just get this show on the road....
He listened to the Muggles Studies Professor give her introduction, listening her rifle off other names he could guess to be students. Well at least the students were involved with this, which is a good thing. The whole effort of what they do is for them after all.

Yeah that was because her last name wasn't actually called - but her middle name - and she was called her actual first name was what really threw her off. Hey someone has a name like me! She had thought and then felt herself flush as she realized SHE had been called. Amelia immediately stood, after an awkward pause. She smiled over to Professor Cerulean. "Thank you" she mouthed and waved slightly to the crowd.

The professor smiled as people applauded as her student committee stood up. Once it had died don, she continued, "Now it’s my pleasure to introduce you to our MCs that will be sharing the duties of tonite’s debate. Please come forward when I call your name and I’ll turn the reigns over to you. Amelia Johnson, Jake Keller, and Alice Fischer." she said once again leading the applause and stepping down from the podium to give them plenty of room to start introducing the candidates and start the question/answer session.

| Selena didn't like her campaign manager. Nope. She much preferred the one that SHE had chosen for herself. The former Slytherin took a seat at the chair with her name on it and watched everyone else from the stage. She tossed her hair over one shoulder, crossed her legs and watched. What else was she supposed to do? A smile was plastered right on her face though, because there would be people watching at the whatnot.
Then she saw the people.
What was the pipsqueak doing on the stage? She tried her best not to pull a face as she listened and watched everything going on. Selena didn't belong on the same stage as the tiny Gryffindor. One of them needed to leave. And since they were going to vote, she voted that the Gryffindor got off the stage. Then her mind drifted back to the professor speaking. All she needed to do was listen... and be amazing... and ignore the tiny no-longer-blonde kid.

Lalala, people.
Lalala, one of them was Selena.
LALALA, PEOPLE.
Alice was NOT okay with that evil former Head Girl being on stage, but she couldn't do anything except grin and bear it. So she eyed the girl until Jake and Mika arrived, when she finally tore her gaze away from the pygmy-puff-obsessed candidate and turned to greet them. "Cobbie. Mika." Yeah, they were the three awesome MCs of the debate. Exciting, wasn't it?
Oh. Were they starting now? "Hullo, everyone, my name's Alice, I'm a fourth year Gryffindor and I'm a Quidditch Captain and all that, mmhm. Oh, and I'm AWESOME." Just in case they wanted to know a bit about her, because honestly, who didn't? "Before we begin the debate, we're going to introduce all of these old people in alphabetical order by last name, just so you guys know who you're voting for and all." Did they mind being called old? Pssht, who cared? "I present to you, Mr. Atticus Aldredge, the former Department Head of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures!" And then she GESTURED to the man in the first seat. "Next up, Miss Lourdes Black, the Department Head of Magical Games and Sports. Right beside her is Roxanne Carter, a Ministry Prosecutor for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." Applaud for them, everyone, applaud.
OH HEY. Next one on the list was her GRAMPS, who got a beam. "To the side of Miss Carter, we have Mister Sherman Clark, an Employee in the Department of Mysteries," and the most awesome candidate there, OBVIOUSLY. "As well as Mister Cooper Cope, an successful entrepreneur." Entrepreneur. Did she say that right? It just came out really, really fast and hopefully, right. OH.
OH HEY.
THAT WAS HIM.
Sherman waved at the crowd enthusiastically. Smiling prettily for the people, see? Oh, and was he the only one that noticed his granddaughter was hosting this, too? Internal flail. Maybe she DID do things other than Quidditch. This was a proud grandfather moment, mmhmm, someone needed to be snapping pictures! Where was Lucia and, more importantly, did she bring a camera?
