"No you cannot assume vhat at all, Mr. Higareda. Vhat's not vhat I meant and I haff no desire to return to Norway. I believe you must haff been listening to my answer solely vith your ears and not at all vith your brain or your heart." His blue eyes twinkled with mischief in the man's direction as he touched his own heart. "I vas merely making a joke, attempting to lighten my very serious answer about vhy I am so passionate about joining Hogwarts' Board of Governors. I haff no desire to return to Norway, not vhen I haff a good job here and a strong passion to help Hogwarts. Hogwarts is vhe school vhat lost not one but two strong academic minds over vhe course of vhe last school year, and saw a woman attempting to rob children of vheir young lives the year before that. Vhose kind of problems are vhat I seek to remedy, and vhose are the problems Hogwarts is facing." Therefore, if they wished to see those problems remedied, they should elect him to the board.

Erik paused and shifted in his seat slightly so that he was angled more towards Gavin. He studied the man with his piercing blue eyes and leaned forward, resting his arms lightly on his knees as he returned fire.

"If you'll allow me the honour of asking you a question, Gavin...is it true vhat you don't really vish to live in Britain any more since your wife left you? I read vhat you haff been thinking of moving to America. Is there a Board of Governors you vould rather join over vhere? I apologize if I'm touching a sensitive spot here, I vould just hate to see the Board crumble if you were elected and then suddenly left, due to a lack of dedication and the stress of vorking vith and constantly seeing happy Hogwarts families..." unlike Gavin's own.

It was very difficult not to smirk as he asked the question, but Erik's face bore an expression of genuine and concern and interest in the other candidate.

Tilting his head a bit as he spoke, Gav was amused to be perfectly honest. The man had said it as a joke, about the boards in Norway not having an opening. Funny joke, that he'd just happen to mention that they had no current openings for govenors, being it was the country the man was from. "My mistake." he said with no emotion nor reaction to the response. He'd gotten his point across and that was the main thing.

Nodding as he requested asking him a question as well, Gavin let him speak. Ohhh so the dirty rubbish emerges. "From where you would have read this I've no idea at all." his eyes drifting right to Ivy Knox knowing precisely where it came from however. His gaze stayed away from Becca at that moment, because he was sure that she knew precisely whom the information had come from as well as he did.

"But I assure you as well as the board and all the people here, I have no plans whatsoever to leave my home here in Britain. It's my home and has been my home for the last 12 years. My dedication is to the board as well as the school and the British Ministry of Magic in which I am the department head of IMC."

Turning his attention to Charles "In fact, Mr. Taylor would you say that my personal life has taken a toll at all in the way, that IMC has been run?"

Text Cut: Ivy

Nodding at Ivy's response when she began speaking as well, Gavin just returned the smile that she had given him. What had she expected? It was a debate, and the answers were 'to be debated'. "My mistake." he said dipping his head in a nod. Once again his point was given. And the audience had heard it.

Although I am confident about running for the Board, I wouldn't be so rash as to drop my entire life in hopes that I would land a spot on the Board. A large part of the reasoning behind leaving my teaching post at Athens Wizarding Institute was to have more time to focus on my private business. I do appreciate your concern, though," she added with almost sickly-sweet smile. Speaking of leaving things... Ivy was just about to formulate a question to throw back at Gavin, but Erik beat her to it. Ivy had to refrain from smirking as she waited for his reply.
