Publicly, his face remained neutral and emotionless as he watched the ideas and questions being tossed around.

He was most suspicious of how come Schirmer just knew things other than the school's gold had been stolen from the vault. Had she been down there before? She was too sharp, too sharp...he might have to think up a distraction for her...not now though, Erik should likely speak up now and contribute something.

"I vhink the idea of a fundraiser sounds fine," Erik remarked. "It vould be a nice distraction for vhe students, give vhem something to look forward to. To save on costs, ve could ask for sponsors from Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. Perhaps even vhe Three Broomsticks vould be willing to cater vhe event." He glanced at Hops with that suggestion. What was wrong with having the students cook their own food and make their own beds though, he didn't know. Muggles had to do that too and they turned out fine and educated enough.

"Vot about putting in different payment centres if ve remove vhe ones in vhe Great Hall and Common Rooms?" he added after a moment of thought. "Ones in places vhat aren't necessary to students' basic needs? Such as vhe astronomy tower, the extracurriculars, vhe...greenhouses, potion stores..." Just a suggestion.

Nolan liked the idea of putting the booths in OTHER places where students didn't necessarily HAVE to pay to get in, but the ones that Vinteren had mentioned made him wrinkle his brows slightly. "I do like the idea of placing them in other areas, but we have to remember that some professors tailor their homework around those areas. Especially the tower and the greenhouses...I could see a few parents getting upset that we are hindering their child's grades by imposing a toll there," he pointed out.

"What about the Quidditch games?" he suggested. Seemed reasonable to him - you paid to get into professional games, why not this one?
