Ms. Carter, what sparked your interest in this position?

Oh, would you look at that? Mr. Issacs obviously thought he was being oh so clever with his question. One that any idiot with his ear to the ground and listening could figure out. She would normally tell the man just what an idiot he was being, but that wouldn't do here. So she bit back her irritation at being asked such a stupid question, kept her eyes still in their sockets, and walked to the front. She couldn't entirely hide the irritation, however, as anyone who knew her well would recognize the slight tightening of her jaw and wrinkling around her eyes. The one that said 'I really hope you realize how stupid you're being right now before I have to embarrass both of us by telling you. Loudly.' "What sparked my interest in this position is very simple. My niece is a student at Hogwarts." Roxanne spoke slowly, just so everyone could catch that. And she wouldn't have to constantly explain it. "So, you could say I have an invested interest. After the events of last term, and the term before, I decided that enough was enough. That something had to be done so those type of things would not happen again. When the Board of Governors election was announced, it seemed like the perfect platform to fight for the changes that I think would prevent any dangers from entering Hogwarts." Take that, Mr. Issacs and whoever had posed the question in the first place! To recap, not a whim, invested interest. And if anyone didn't understand that, well that was tough. She went back to her seat with a small smirk playing across her face. If anyone doubted her intentions after this, well then the egg would be all over their face, not hers.
