Reynolds hadn't been bored? It certainly seemed that he had no desire to keep a job for longer than 5 years. Charles just nodded to him in thanks for his answer and once the professor had returned to his seat, his attention turned to Icy Ivy Knox. He brushed off the comment about their observation and raised an eyebrow at her saying she'd left her job. Well, they'd get into that a little more later, he was sure.

When Carter stepped up and spoke, staring at himself and the other obviously unimpressed member of the panel, he stared straight back at her. Yeah, she didn't scare or impress him and he wasn't going to answer her question, so that had been useless. He shrugged off the 'judgmental jerk' quip with a smile to her, figuring that she probably thought that would've hurt. Well, newsflash, he knew he was not the kindest person, and he accepted it.

He noticed the look Vinteren had given him after he'd answered the question and gave him a small nod show he approved of that answer. They wouldn't have gotten that kind of answer if he hadn't pushed for it, so... He looked down at his cards when he made a joke and had to try and get his composure back. He'd almost shown an indication of amusement, which was extremely rare for him.

Gavin's question hadn't gone down well, he could see it in his bosses face and almost felt the pain of the question himself. It was definitely a tricky one. As answers went, he thought it was a pretty reasonable one. Charles' brown eyes focused on Gavin's face and he gave the tiniest bit of a nod. Anyone who could evade that question successfully deserved some respect.

Aaaaand they were back to Ivy again! Gavin was leading the charge this time. It seemed he'd been waiting for his opportunity to get his claws out and go for the other candidates and as questions went, well, that was very trapping. Ivy's response, however was cool and calm with an undertone of irritation. He grimaced a little when Gavin conceded, but it was obvious that it was the right thing to do.

He took a drink of the water he had set to one side as he observed Gavin questioning Vinteren and almost choked at the response he'd gotten. Um, OUCH. That was below the belt, and also the first Charles had heard of Kat leaving. He almost squirmed in his seat, finding it very unfair to be going after Gavin's personal life. He saw Gavin give Ivy a look and wondered what was going on there. When he, himself, was asked a question, he was more than happy to answer. "No, my time in level five has been consistent in regards to the management." Being that he never did anything anyway. He probably could have made Gavin sign his soul over to him several times over.

Finally turning his attention away from the little catfight, he listened to Vanderbilt's response. Before he could say anything, Gavin had dived in again and gone straight for his throat. He leant back in his chair a little, listening for the answer. He knew that the person who did the communication between both ministries was sat right there in that very room. Vanderbilt's name had passed his desk a couple of times, so he did know him by name.

"Mr. Vinteren, thank you for answering all your questions. You're free to question and comment on other candidates answers." Be nice, blue eyes.

He turned to inner eye guy and gave him a nod. "Professor Reynolds," Yes, he'd corrected himself from earlier. "You're also welcome to question and comment on other candidates answers."

Now, back to Ivy. "Ms. Knox, do you consider yourself to be a role model?" You know, being cold, cut off, sickeningly sweet instead of bluntly honest, willing to step on people to get what she wanted, and sarcastic to boot.

Charles finally turned to the one who had just said something else that he agreed with. "Mr. Phillips, what sort of relationship do you think the Board should have with the Headmistress or Headmaster?" That was sure to be an interesting answer.

OOC: You can still post multiple responses, and you're all doing great!

Also, whomever finishes answering all of their 9 questions (be sure you answered 9!!), can respond to other people's answers now! This means, of course, that everyone should now keep an eye out for questions directed at them from other candidates.


Questions:

- For Althea Schirmer: Do you feel you can keep personal and professional separated?

- For Cooper Cope: Do you feel students should have a say in what goes on in their own education or should that be left up to the professionals like yourself?

- For Ivy Knox: Do you consider yourself to be a role model?

- For Carter Phillips: What sort of relationship do you think the Board should have with the Headmistress or Headmaster?

- For Sherman Clark: What wisdom and experience can you bring to the board and the younger generation of witches and wizards?

- For Lourdes Black: How committed are you prepared to be to this Board if you are selected, bearing in mind that it may sometimes require you to put the school above all other tasks?

- For Corineus Vanderbilt: Which parts of the current curriculum concern you and why?

- For Andrew Rose: Why have you missed such an important part of applying to be a Governor, the meet and greet and first debate? Were you starting as you mean to go on?

- For Atticus Aldredge: How far are you willing to go to ensure that you receive a position on the Board of Governors?

General questions for those who haven't answered as of yet:
Q1. Why do you feel you are more qualified for this position than the other candidates?

Q2. If a personal or professional situation arose at the same time as an equally important situation arose in the school, which would you deem more important to attend to first, and why?

Q3. If you were to be elected onto the board, what would you ensure becomes a priority as far as the long term plans of the Board are concerned?

Q4. Do you feel it is important as a board member to work along side of the professors and keep them in the know of everything going on or do you feel the board should be separate?

Q5. Would you consider to be important for a School Governor to be in contact with the students in any way? Why or why not?
