 Left side Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein
While the entire point of a debate was to listen to each side and counter points offered, it did nothing to make Drake feel a little small when the intelligent Hufflepuff on the other side was able to counteract each of the arguments from their side, particularly his own. He was unable to stop himself from slinking a little bit in his seat as his cheeks burned a little and he shot a glance towards Fergersnout. He caught the slight encouraging smile and it did make him feel a little better, but it did nothing to change the fact that he was just not made for these type of situations.
He could cross the debate team from his list of potential future clubs to join.
With a spit of flame, a new topic was introduced. One that Drake was far more inclined to speak on. Not because of any particular interest in the subject, but certainly more interest than the previous. And he didn't necessarily need to know anything about a particular subject to be able to offer an answer here. Although, he was a bit disappointed to be on the less favorable argument. Though... he supposed that was a matter of opinion.
Listening to the points offered so far, and giving Ary a slight smile of encouragement too as he threw in his two knuts, Drake raised his hand as well. Once it was his turn, he gave a slight nod towards Maria. "While it's true no uniforms would give students their own individuality, Hogwarts is a melting pot of not only personalities but different cultures and backgrounds as well. One item that might be something fashionable to one person, perhaps with imagery or words, could very well offend someone else in the same room. And yes, we could combat that with rules on what is and what isn't allowed, but they would have to be very specific because we don't know what would offend other people in the room as us. And then the more you have to restrict items anyways on what can and can't be worn, the more you're stripping away individuality still to begin with. And you're wasting people's times with punishments and lost house points because of more violations of dress code."
