And for my own part, I hope that we can all choose to pursue these issues in a more reasonable and relevant manner, as you suggest. Might it be too soon to propose that we make this the subject of the first All-School Topical Debate? That would allow us to approach this sensitive issue respectfully and thoroughly, in the manner Im sure youd agree it deserves. McGonagalls jaw was like iron as she stared down at Corsica. The pause was so long that Tabitha actually looked away. She glanced around the courtyard, her composure faltering slightly. The QuickQuotes Quill had caught up to the proceedings. It hovered over the parchment, waiting.

I appreciate your suggestion, Miss Corsica, McGonagall said flatly, but this is neither the time nor the place for discussion of the debate team calendar, as you can surely imagine. And now, she let her gaze sweep over the courtyard critically, I consider the matter closed. Anyone who wishes to continue this discussion may do so much more comfortably in the privacy of their rooms. Id advise you to be off now, before I send Mr. Filch out to take a census.
