Two moments? Lucky! Most people would only get one "Well Headmaster, I was thinking...." he began, "... the stairs have been around for a long time-- and dont get me wrong they're doing a great job getting us places...." and getting himself lost but he didnt have to say that out loud ".... But since Hogwarts castle has seven floors and a deep dungeon plus a couple of towers...." Three? Four? He doesnt remember-- he sleeps in the dungeons give him a break "..... wouldnt it be of immense benefit to the student body and the faculty as a whole to have..." pause for emphasis....

"--an elevator service?"

Putting his game face on the Slytherin lad gestures his hands about as he starts his sales pitch "Think about it Mr Tate... you have a Gryffindor coming from Potions class, and they have to get back to their common room to change for Quidditch practice... by the time they get back up and down to the pitch they'd be too tired to give 100% to their game. Or what about students from COMC class who gets entangled with some creature... " totally not speaking from experience here ".... and they need the Healer's attention right away, wouldnt it be so helpful to just ride the lift towards the third floor with your bleeding leg without bothering with corners and steps?" Then he shifts to his game show prize-winning voice "And consider this Professor..." he adds quickly as he falls in step with the older Wizard and holds his hand aloft as if showcasing the invisible future playing before them ".... a couple of years from now-- no ten--no a hundred!-- when future wizards and witches walk these hallowed halls and chooses to take that elevator for Divination classes, there is one sure thing that will always pass through their lips-- That Headmaster Tate, he sure cared about us Hogwartians by leaving us this most awesome legacy." He claps his hands suddenly in emphasis of his pitch, all starry eyed "Whadaya say Headmaster? A legacy that will forever earn you praise even as you dine with Merlin in the afterlife!"
