This class was going much smoother thus far, and Evan could feel himself relax a bit - not waiting for it to turn controversial. Granted, he was probably relaxing too soon, as their mini activity was then turned to topic of was the current ministry corrupt. He didn't know the exact amount of students who had parents employed, but he could only imagine there were some who did who would be up in arms about it.

Though, Nemesis Upstead did not appear to be around to stir the pot - though for reasons he didn't know. Evan hated to admit there was often truth to what the Slytherin said, like one of the most heated discussions in the beginning of term as he had noted their opinions had been similar. But people were always on the defensive when they spoke. They were an enigma.

Hearing the assigned view points, Evan was relieved when he looked down at his red card in hand. Argument for corruption. Easy. Raising his hand, he waited again for his turn in order to share his portion of the argument. Debate was often fun to him, so he was fully open to the differing opinions. "The ministry showed the point of corruption in recent events with how the Neo-Alliance was able to get such a stronghold on the ministry. While Minister Hollingberry himself seems honorable, the fact of the matter is that not all of the division heads and employees were as well. And their easy infiltration was what made it possible for the Minister and others to have been cursed and turned into puppets of 'The Greater Good'." Nonsense that it was.
