Hogwarts RPG Name: Adelaide Kettle First Year | Ahem *cough cough* contest judging here *cough cough* Don't Cross the Book | who turned out the | Lights Lennox SPOILER!!: Our esteemed Minister - Not impressed :P Quote:

As he passed by the students on the way to the stage, Lord Borr graciously tossed out shirts to the students, akin to candy at a parade.
"Hello, students, faculty, and staff! Your MINISTER is here!"
The grounds looked a bloody MESS. He should have FIRED that groundskeeper after his informant ratted him out last year. Lucky for him, Minister Borr had a BIG heart full of forgiveness. Quote:

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. Jez was chewing on her bottom lip, a definite gleam of anger in her violet eyes. His man who addressed himself to them as Minister - and who had the INDECENCY, the lack of HUMANITY to use those poor little house-elves as litter-bearers for his gargantuan body - was ticking her off pretty bad. Add to that the fact he was insulting some of her favourite teachers and whacking someone's snowman, and Jez could feel her blood boiling.
Suddenly Jez became aware of her hand tightening on the wand in her pocket. She realised in horror she was actually contemplating a jinx! No, no, NO! She wasn't going to lose her temper again, because unlike previous times, her friends weren't there to stop her doing something stupid that would probably get her expelled. She tried to slow her breathing, keeping it steady, hoping that people wouldn't notice her or the near-catasrophe in light of the almost-judging. She wasn't ready to be expelled from Hogwarts just yet.
