She loved Headmaster Tate and he was great to them all. She stood a little straighter as she muttered, "There is NOTHING wrong with our leadership and we sang at a moment's notice you old wind bag." She couldn't help herself...
Realizing what she had just said she looked around and then scooted a bit closer to Tate and looked up at him with a confused look on her face. Like... should I have said that aloud? Should I run now? HELP ME.
Perhaps the applause would have kept her muttering from reaching any of the man's lackeys or his own ears.
Crap.
She gave a litte curtsey and smiled a very false smile as she started to tug both Tate and Sabel away by their hands...or attempted to anyway.
Lord Borr's complexion reddened, from the tips of his ears to the rolling hills and valleys of his chins. "
SECURITY."
Need he say more?
He "TAPPED" his cane-scepter onto the stage once more, calling for attention. The massive man heaved a sigh, the disappointment evident. "Sorry, my people, for that debacle. You know the old saying that if you want something done right,
you must do it yourself!" That cheered him up and the Lord GUFFAWED at his own comic. "Let's move right along! I have a FEW announcements to make! So
clean out your ears!"
Lord Borr cleared his throat. "First, I would like thank you all for coming! Thank you for showing your support! Thank you for wanting to be BETTER! This is the first step, I believe - and therefore
I KNOW, into making our world BETTER for one and for all. That SAID, in addition to my own new arrival at the Ministry in a higher up position we also have made a FEW MORE new hires."
"Would
Mr. Ren Sakura and
Miss Iridesca D'Ann MacMillan please join me on the dais? Mr. Sakura and Miss MacMillan will be the new Department Heads for the Mysteries and Accidents and Catastrophes Department, respectively." Lord Borr scanned the audience, then continued on. "I'm sure you all have noticed
this beauty," Lord Borr then motioned for
Christelle Rochebarron to wave to the crowd. "She is joining the Ministry as
my Assistant."
Lord Borr then cast a conspiratorial glance to the other men on the dais with him. "In addition, and as I'm
SURE was just proven by that
lackluster performance, we find the Department of Education not suitable and we have closed it down for good. The authority over the school will return to its root beginnings and be ruled over by appointed governors from henceforth. In its place, however, we have set up a MUCH more
appropriate Department that will offer protection and regulation to the environment around us
AND our brothers and sisters of the muggle world."
Lord Borr clapped THE loudest at his OWN speech. "
Mr. Rafael Ángel Belmonte Delgado will be the first Head of the Environment Regulation and Protection Department!!!!!!!"
"Stand up, Thomas. Stat the crowd in a standing ovation!" Lord Borr prodded his nephew with his cane. Stand UP UP UP UP UP.
