Once the topic of the ICW was revealed, Ezra found himself remaining quiet as other students offered more answers about the organization. Most of them quickly covered any answer he might've given, but even so, he jotted down a note here and there. It was more out of habit than any effort to take real notes for study purposes, and it was even moreso just for something to do. Something to help keep himself preoccupied.

And then came the reveal he'd suspected for the classroom layout, though he wouldn't have guessed the specific inspiration. They'd get to provide debate topics themselves, hm? That certainly kept it interesting.

The only problem was...he couldn't think of anything to submit. There were so many options out there, and yet his mind was drawing a blank. He absentmindedly tapped the end of his quill against the desk, trying to come up with something that would actually be an interesting debate. But everything was made much more difficult when he heard Anna speaking her thoughts aloud.

His resolve not to look in her direction crumbled quickly. His eyes were finally drawn in that direction, curious about the topic of ghost professors too. But then...he couldn't be quite certain from his angle, but were she and Solomon holding hands now?

Ezra turned back to frown down at his parchment again. Merlin, if it had been difficult to think of a topic before, it was twice as much now. Unless it was something like, students should sit at least five meters away from each other during class. He started to write something, then proceeded to scribble it out.

It was a relief when the rest of the agonizingly slow ten minutes were up. He hadn't submitted anything, but hopefully it wouldn't count against him. But if it did...oh well.

At least with the actual debate of sorts kicking off, Ezra had something to focus on. The first topic was on the Statute of Secrecy, and he was on the side that agreed with the statement. Seemed straightforward enough.

Especially since that Ravenclaw fourth year covered a lot of points really well. "I think Hope makes a lot of great points," he said. And really, he could leave it there, but that didn't seem right in the spirit of debate and discussion and what-not. "Even though there are a lot of Muggles that are welcoming to magical people, there are also a lot who aren't and who wouldn't be no matter what. That was true back then, and it's still true today. And with the technology that has been developed over the years since the Statute was implemented, even just a small group could wreak a lot of havoc and destruction against both magical and non-magical people alike. Keeping the Statute in place helps prevent that from happening. In that way, it protects not only us, but Muggles too."
