Despite the well-publicized fact that this an event for ALL THREE of Europe's largest wizarding schools, Hogwarts' backing school board of governors has decided once again to make their presence known. In the interest of raising funds for their ever-floundering school, the Twelve Governors have set up a folding table* just outside the grandstand seating.
The table is manned by one of the dozen governors at all times and features t-shirts, sweatshirts, coffee mugs, scarves, mittens, beanies, and various other apparel for sale from each of the schools in today's competition. They are also selling overpriced cups of cheap hot chocolate (no marshmallows, sorry) and tiny, dried-out, yet obviously home baked, brownies. All profits go straight to the school's unsecured bank account.
Please, make a donation! Merlin knows Hogwarts needs it.
SPOILER!!: merchandise!
Here is some of the merchandise available, and it should give you an idea what the rest of it looks like. The Beauxbatons and Durmstrang merchandise is similar, only Beauxbatons colours are light blue, and Durmstrang has dark red instead of black, with their respective crests.

Seriously who had baked this rubbish? If anyone had told her, she'd have provided something much more appetizing, given her skills in the kitchen. Althea loved cooking and baking... but she also wouldn't feel right about selling it. Perhaps that was why. And also she was aware that Dash would hardly appreciate having to share anything she made either. As far as he was concerned she cooked for him and Kyroh and that was it. Men.
She had been responsible for placing the orders for the merchandise however and she checked the items off, making sure that it was the best possible quality, and that there was enough of everything. Not too much mind you, wouldn't want to be stuck with excess at the end.
She would remain at the table for a while, but then she planned to watch the contest, and keep an eye out for former students of hers too.

Carter was here. And confused. He felt like there needed to be a way to address this. The acronym was throwing him off. How did you even pronounce just a single Q? Que? Quay? Quaw?
Meh. He was allowed to call this The Quiz Thing, right?
He took a seat at the Governors table... and poked the brownies. "Who made these...?" Because they looked... ...
Maybe he'd distract people with the beanies. He picked one up and looked at it. Mayyyyybe he'd get a beanie too. His ears were cold. School support and all.

Coops was here and reporting for duty!
"HAHA!" he exclaimed as he flopped himself into one of the seats which was OBVIOUSLY for him. "Who's excited?!" he started, glancing from Althea to Carter, "Well I'm excited!" he added, stating the obvious. His big child-like eyes did a once over of their merch.. it was preeeetttttyyyy RAD! He'd totally rock a beanie and BADGEYTHING. Or maybe THREE badgeythings.. you know, not to be too biased and all.
Fishing in his drawstring coin bag, Coops fished out some of the SHINYs and added it to their money collection THING that they had, then proceeded to stab the pins to his purple suit. They looked GREAT. "I like the colours," he added, by way of explaining his somewhat erratic behaviour - not that they hadn't come to expect that, right!?

This was certainly interesting, wasn't it? Atticus rather liked the whole idea of this academic competition, liked it far better than the other "Triwizard Tournament" that existed. The only thing he might change about it was a better abbreviation. The one it had right now was rather long and difficult to pronounce or remember offhand.
That was beside the point though. What he needed to focus on now was the table the Board had set up for merchandise. This was more important that an abbreviation right now. Hogwarts always needed more money.
It seemed three of the others had already made it to the table too.
"Good morning," he greeted them with a smile. The merchandise looked excellent but the brownies...not so much. Hm. That was unfortunate. He wasn't sure who made them - was it one of the others? - but it wasn't in his nature to publicly criticize, so he didn't comment on them. "The pins look good," he said with a nod at Cooper. That was a good idea, wearing something of each school so they seemed less biased, even if they obviously would be on the inside. Perhaps he would do the same.

"Good morning....Thank you." Althea answered smoothly regarding the pins and such. She'd probably get a flag and a tee-shirt herself, the former for support, the latter for sleeping in. "I got them for a hefty discount too, almost cost price- the printer owed me a favour." And who knew that would come in handy some time when bulk merchandise was needed without costing too much to start with?
"I had nothing to do with the brownies however." Obviously not. Paaaause. "Actually, perhaps we'd best find out who did, it wouldn't be the first time that drugged food or drink has been put on us." Yes, thanks, she remembered the babbling beverage she'd been drugged with during the debates. Ugh.

Well, he was here. Time to do his duty and donate more of their his galleons to this blasted school. Erik quietly appeared before the Board of Governors table as though he had been there all along. One of his hands trailed from his trouser pockets, where it was rattling a few coins together, while the other hand held one of Ivy's.
"I'll take a brownie, please," Erik spoke up, fixing his bright blue eyes on those of Althea Schirmer. "I am confident vhe maker of vhese fine baked goods did not tamper vith them." Wasn't that right, Ivy darling?

Nolan Reynolds was just a LITTLE late - his wife had been having weird cravings for olives and he'd accidentally bought green olives instead of black, which was like the WORST thing in the world for his pregnant wife - so he'd been running back and forth from the store and that'd caused him to show up just a bit later than he would have liked. Thankfully, however, it seemed he wasn't the LAST one there and there didn't seem to be many students flocking to the stands. Aww, they didn't want t-shirts? How lame and un-school spirited.
"Hello everyone. Those look delicious," he added with a smile as he approached the table and pointed to the brownies. He was just being polite, however - they looked old and terrible and why they were trying to sell them was beyond him.

She was also here, though reluctant to step away from her never-ending holiday... but duty called, so Ivy walked beside Erik as they approached the table. As they did so, she noticed Althea skeptically eyeing the brownies in front of her. She managed to contain her laughter until Erik requested one and made a comment.
Ivy jabbed an elbow into his ribs. "I'm sure they're delicious. You'll have to tell me how they are." Because today... she was on a diet? Yes, yes, a diet. A diet that excluded food provided at public events especially if it was made by herself.

Lex had noticed, but only barely, the table set up for...squint...the board of governors. Honestly, she was in the habit of forgetting they existed despite their tendency to just show up at things and events like this one. She cast only a glance in that direction, sighing at the lack of Vinte--

Stop.
Stopstopstopstop. It was HIM!!! And Knox too she guessed but that was Lottie's area of fangirling, not hers. JBVKDJSVKFG!! Alexa looked down at the shirt she had one. It was dirty. She needed to go buy a Hogwarts one to wear over this one--wait one sec. She tipped a bit of the drink she'd been holding on her shirt. NOW it was SIMPLY FILTHY and she NEEDED to buy one from Mr. Vinteren the table over there.
Ahem. Excuse us.
Lex hurried, kinda shoving people that were in her way because they didn't understand the word MOVE calmly made her way over to the table, politely looked at the inventory, nodded at the Governors--HAI--before making a beeline for her former History of Magic Professor. "Mr. Vinteren! Hello! Never thought I'd run into you hereee." BEAM! Did he see her shirt? Was he gonna offer to sell her a new one. Ahem ahem.

ROBIN was THERE. You know, sidekick to Batman, of course.
Sherman sported a Robin bowtie that stood out proudly against his white button down and black suit, adjusting it with one hand as he wheeled over to the governors' table. The GOVERNORS' table. That was still exciting, did they know?
The elderly man rolled over next to Carter, nudging the seat out of the way to make space for his own wheelchair. "I'll have some hot chocolate, please," he chirped cheerily, not wanting to voice his opinion on those unappetizing looking brownies.
Lucia could cook much better than that, thankfully. That was why he'd married her.
"How much is a cup?"

Oh he would just have to tell her how they were, would he? Why, because Ivy was too afraid to risk her life by trying her own cooking? Erik moved the galleons from his pocket to the donation box and then picked up a brownie with his now-free hand.
"Are you sure you don't vant a bite?" he wafted the stiff, burnt brownie toward Ivy's nose. "I'm sure it tastes different from vhe batter you whipped up..." And the batter had probably been safer to eat, even if it did contain raw egg...

O....din. "Alexa." Erik calmly stared the girl down, the brownie in his hand possibly starting to turn to dust as his fist gripped it more tightly. He eyed the girl, eyed the table, then stared at her again. Realising that an awkward silence was beginning to permeate this group of adults, Erik decided to...use the baked good in his hand.
"Vould you care for a brownie?" He slowly lowered his hand with the brownie in it. All yours, kid. Break a tooth on it.

There was a lot of silence happening right now and she probably would have thought it was awkward but see, she didn't. She was FINE with standing her and staring at him with a wide grin spread across her face. It was easily done. Just watch.
STARE.
It wasn't all that incredibly long into the new school year but she MISSED him. Like legit! People gave her LOOKS when she tried blowing them up. Her best friend disarmed her for trying! The nerve of some people. Sigh. But not him. Nooooooo, he was different AND OFFERING HER A BROWNIE!!! Her grin got wider (if that was possible). "Sure I'd love one!!" She said, taking the brownie but her brain forgot to mention the part where she actually ATE it so she just had it there in her hand while she continued staring.
"What have you been up to since you left? The new guy's nothing like you. He shows us pictures of our grandfathers and talks about things he won't actually teach." And more smiley stares.

Ivy couldn't believe Erik was actually buying a brownie. He knew they weren't going to be any good. She wrinkled her nose and swatted at his hand when he waved it in her face and commented about the batter. "Different doesn't always mean good," she pointed out, letting her eyes wander around at all students, new and old. Some she didn't necessarily care to see again...
... namely the one by the name of Alexa Cambridge. Merlin's beard. Why? Ivy attempted to hide her displeasure and smiled... painfully. Yeah, you eat that brownie, kid. She hoped it was gross, just for her.

Minerva headed over to the board area. There was a certain member she was really hoping to see. She hadn't seen her in a very long time and not receiving an owl back over the summer wondered if her's even got to her old professor. Scanning the area she smiled seeing Professor Knox. It was good to see her after such a horrid event last term. "Professor Knox, hello. It's good to see you again." The prefect hoped she was doing well at least.
Then she sorta stopped and stared.. Stared at her old history of magic professor. Professor awesome [s] who really wasn't awesome anymore now was he."[/b] She was so torn about the man. He was so interesting to her, plus he did save people's lives last term. "Hello Professor Vinteren, how are you doing?" She gave a small smile and forced her eyes to stop staring at him.
Forcing herself to move on she finally came to the person she had been there to see in the first place, "Professor Schirmer, hello." She gave one of her favorite professors a smile. "I hope you are doing well. I had sent you an owl this past summer, but I'm not sure it made it to you or not." Either that or the seventh year had worn out her welcome with her old professor and shouldn't be bothering her now.

"Good day everybody, students, everyone"Corin Vanderbilt walked up to the BOG table a bit distractedly. He looked towards the stands, looking for a specific brunette, and when he didnt find her, he sighed quietly and took his seat next to the other Governors. He glanced at the merchandise as he folded his hands to himself "Nice."
Man of few words he is today yup.

OF COURSE THEY DID!... But Coops didn't say that out loud, instead he just grinnnnnned his biggest grin. "I'd have gone for a beanie, but I'm not a fan of hat hair, if you know what I mean," he added with a sly chuckle. No. Hat hair, with HIS precious locks... NEVAAA! It sounded as horrendous as Rockerfella trying to shave his hair off, absolutely ludicrous! "Pins are a MUCH safer option," he added in a serious tone, though his expression was still playful.

Hey heyyyyyy! Corin was here! "Goood day!" Cooper returned the greeting, watching his fellow BOARDIE with mild interest. At the man's approval of the merchandise selection... as well as the somewhat dodgey baked goods, Cooper puffed out his chest in his attempt at accentuating the pins on his chest. SEE. They WERE pretty awesome, and colourful and COOOL. He was cool, Coops was cool. "You should buy some," he added with a convincing nod. Mmhhmm. If they all supported the cause, then others would tooooo! Epic salesman skills right here folks.
Louisa was here. Finally. They said the second round of tasks were after lunch, right? Well she just had her lunch, not her fault she was used to eating super early. Anyways, she was here and there was a table that sold... hmm. The former Ravenclaw stopped in her track and observed the table with the merchandise and the people scattered around. Oh!

"Professor Schirmer!" She called out, approaching the former Charms professor with a wide smile. "Hello." Wait, did the professor remember her?? "Louisa Carter." It doesn't hurt to try and ring the woman's bells, right? Right. "So good to meet you here." She respected the woman highly, even though they never had one of those professor-and-student close relationship. Mainly because Louisa didn't do those, she just admired and respected people from afar.
Anyways. Supporting Hogwarts. The girl touched one of the Hogwarts T-shirts, "Can I get two of those?" Umm...

It was so suffocating up there in the stands, and there was time for him to go check on Sherman. Not that Sherman needed checking on. Much. Oh there they were. Botros picked up his pace, his cane aiding him a bit since his knees were rather rusty in this cold weather.
... Lucia probably didn't check his attire when he left? Botros grinned at the bowtie. "Dapper as always, Sherman." He greeted, and nodded to everyone around them.

Good, good, she was actually taking the brownie. The girl was young; she could digest the brick. He, on the other hand...tried to think of a quick answer to the question 'what have you been up to.'
"Vhis and vhat," the blonde man answered evasively. "Travelling, mostly. Did you haff a plesant summer, Alexa?" Anything to avoid talking about himself. He nearly chuckled at the comment about the new guy but on second thought, considered Alexa's opinion of the new professor more closely.
Ehm. "Are you vanting to file a formal complaint to vhe Board of Governors?" Did she actually want him to remove the new History of Magic professor? Is that what this was? Erik was in no hurry to return to drafty old Hogwarts, but if it was needed, he could always replace this Dursley man with one of his own...

The Hufflepuff girl was here now too, the one who loved house elves. Odin. Erik nearly swore under his breath when her eyes seemed to penetrate into his skull.
"I am fine, Ms. Wheatborn. How are you?" He was polite, if not a bit frosty.
And then more governors arrived and some people looking to purchase school spirit items. Well then, if he and Ivy could just sidle off to the side...surely no one would miss them.
And the other Governors. Hi to you all as well. :D

"How much is a cup?"
There was Sherman. The Robin to Carter's Batman. Carter couldn't even remember what lead to them coordinating their outfits, but it made the young Governor incredibly happy. And he was really glad they did. Even if it was just subtly being superheros. Maybe there needed to be another full-on costume event? That would be fun.
He gave his fellow Governor a fist bump in greeting. Why? It just seemed like the right thing to do. He then poured Sherman a cup and looked around. "Dunno. I don't see prices anywhere." He looked around again just to double check. "I think it's just... whatever?" Maybe?
He then dropped some galleons into the collection jar before slapping on a Hogwarts beanie. He then slid one over to Sherman. They had to match after all.
And now that his ears were nice and toasty, Carter nodded a greeting to the rest of the Governors. It was nice to see everyone here to support their students.

OH. Right. Carter brought up an excellent point - Nolan didn't see prices anywhere either. Huh. Well, in that case...
"I think it's just on a donation basis. Donate something, you get something," he said with a shrug. After all, it couldn't have cost THAT much to make these things, and it was all going towards Hogwarts regardless.
He smiled and dropped ten galleons in the jar and helped himself to one of the Hogwarts hoodies. Nolan DID some need some spirit wear of his alma mater!

He smiled and dropped ten galleons in the jar and helped himself to one of the Hogwarts hoodies. Nolan DID some need some spirit wear of his alma mater!
Oh good. Carter had backup on his assumption. And from Mr. VP. That was always good. Could he congratulate him? Was that common knowledge?
"You going to wear the hood up?" Because Carter thought Nolan would rock the look.

Nolan leaned back and grinned. "As long as people don't think I'm being brooding and moody," he chuckled, taking the hood and tossing it over his short brown hair. Hmm, this hoodie was nice and soft!
"By the way, congrats on the secretary position," he added with a smile. He was glad that Carter had gotten a promotion within the board - he was just as active as Nolan was, and Nolan would feel bad if he'd gotten a promotion and Carter hadn't. In fact, he thought everyone on the board was awesome and deserved a ton of titles and responsibilities. If only they could all get special titles!

It was good to see her after such a horrid event last term. "Professor Knox, hello. It's good to see you again." The prefect hoped she was doing well at least.
Distracted from the Gryffindor, Ivy saw a familiar face approach and she put on her best nice face. "Miss Wheatborn," she greeted with a nod. "Good to see you as well." And she was, doing fine, now that she wasn't teaching in a castle infested with dementors.

Carter flashed Nolan the thumbs up. He appreciated the look.
... and it almost looked like Nolan fit in with the kids. You know, minus being older.
"You as well, VP." he said with a nod. Titles were fun, right? Right. Carter liked his.
