 Left side Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein
The debate had started and Drake's pen was scrawling furiously across a blank piece of parchment as he tried to capture each idea that was being offered from both sides. Those who had already spoken from the left side had offered a lot of really good arguments - even if he did not still actually agree with the their assigned point to the debate, they'd brought up some good thinking points. To the point where he really couldn't think of anything additional to offer as a new perspective.
So instead, he was trying to listen to the right side carefully to offer counter points. But all of his peers were such eloquent speakers and had thought out there responses, he was having a hard time finding anything there either. At least, until there was a kernel he attached to from one of the older Gryffindor boys, Kion. Raising his hand, Drake tentatively offered his own sickle to the debate. "Um, well... Kion mentioned all it takes is one wizard to conquer the non-magical. But being magical is not what inherently makes wizarding kind more dangerous than non-magical. While magic may give us a leg up, there are other ways to conquer outside of it's use. Or... even someone who does not have the ability to cast on their own could still use charisma or manipulation to find a wizard and charm them into using their magic to help them conquer over the rest of the mundane world. Having the statute of secrecy still in tact removes the majority, like Charlie pointed out, of people from being a threat on that front."
It was a weak argument and Drake knew it but... he was hoping he'd get points at least for contributing and showing he was actively listening to everyone.
