So, individualized questions? Summited by concerned parents and community members? Roxanne couldn't decide rather to be worried or reassured. On one hand, there was the very good possibility that some of these could be very personal. On the other, they could just be general questions like 'What you would have done with the whole man eating plant/vengeful ghost situation?' She really hoped it was the latter, because could handle those questions.

But the first question was a fairly easy one directed at all of them. Were they trying to lure them into a false sense of security? Most likely. She stepped forward, part of her speech already coming to mind. "Hi, I'm Roxanne Carter, for those of you who are new here or just haven't been paying attention," she began in a conversational tone. " What I feel sets me apart from the rest of the candidates is, well, there are a few things actually. One being my experience with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which has taught me to always be prepared for the unexpected. And I know that my colleagues here tonight can back me up when I say that we see a lot of unexpected stuff.

Another thing that my experience has taught me is trust that the people you are working with to have your back always. Because trust is important when you are dealing with the unexpected. Believe me, if I couldn't trust my colleagues, I probably wouldn't be here right now." Okay, stopping for a breath now. And to let that sink in.

"Now, I know that you guys are probably thinking 'Well, that's great Roxanne, but what does all that have to do with being on the Board of Governors? Let me tell you. These are traits that I feel are important to being a governor, because a lot of unexpected stuff happens at Hogwarts. And as an adult, if you're not prepared to deal with that, be you professor or governor, then you are just useless to everyone. If you can't be trusted, then again, you are useless to everyone. And uselessness is not what our children need." And..... done now. Hopefully she had won a few people over with her speech. She walked confidently back to her seat, ready for the next question.
