[QUOTE=cheeseStrings;10709044]Janice felt really stupid. She hadn'tknown that Ally was American.
"Wait. You've MET the president/prime minister
before?"
"Yes, I did once. Dad and Mom were invited to attend one of his Christmas White House Parties, and they brought me along. He has 2 daughters, one is around my age and they are really cool....and so was the Prez and his wife.

"Sierra," Lord Borr recognized the daughter of his secretary. He was next to useless, but his daughter was useful. There was still hope for HER. "Put on your t-shirt and come join me in my litter." Let the students of Hogwarts SEE what benefits they'd receive for being obedient little informers. "Point out which is yours?"
"Sir? I am your MINISTER, Student." Lord Borr urged his litter on quickly, before the young man could start groveling or sniveling. Lord Borr had taught his lesson and he expected the RAVENCLAW to learn quickly.
"You are welcome. Put it on, put it on! Show your Ministry pride!"
"I'm sure it is an honor for you! As busy and important as I am ALL THE TIME, I made special time for you, the poor students of Hogwarts. I know you all need a role model and someone to look up to in this leader-less environment."
"I remember YOU," Lord Borr chuckled at the young girl. "Lord Borr never forgets a face!"
"I see," Lord Borr motioned for his litter to be placed front and center and in the process, unbeknownst to him he knocked two snowmen to the ground. "I cannot stay long. The Ministry keeps me very busy and I AM the Minister," he chuckled. "I will not serve myself, foolish woman. Am I to come all this way, INSPIRE your students, GUIDE their lives, JUDGE their creations, AND FEED MYSELF? That's the problem with you Hogwarts Professors. The whole lot of you are LAZY."
With that, Lord Borr used his cane to point out the winners to his house elf cavalry, and they related the winners to the Professor "in charge" of the event.
"Someone have that Groundskeeper come and clean this place up! WORTHLESS, that one. You all remember that! If you don't do well in school and are LAZY, you'll end up a worthless groundskeeper! But if you keep your focus and get yourself a GOOD role model, you could end up JUST LIKE ME!" Lord Borr whacked a nearby snowman in the head and the top tier rolled away.

"See?" Janice muttered Alyssa. "Told'ya."
Janice put her hands inside her silvery parka. It's freezing out here, and the 'blanket' didn't do any good. As if it isn't bad enough, her nose started to itch again.
"
OMG!! He's a pompous nincompoop!! And what's this about him saying that Sierra was an informer and being rewarded for their obedience, and asking her to show which creation was hers? If he selects Sierra's snowman as a winner because of that reason, there's going to be a revolt here!! If she does win, it should be because the creation was a good one, not because she knows the Minister!!,"Alyssa angrily whispered to the rest of her team.
