Cynthia made sure everythingwas ready. She was such a perfectionist. She hoped @Kayla Realma , @Damion Whiteand @Karrie Myers would arrive soon. She had already prepared some beanbags to sit on, a few snacks and some icebreaking questions. Sure, she wasn’t exactly the friendly type, but doing what she loved (ie debating) made her happy. Being the judge of the debate club, she should know her members well without being biased. As the club leader, she should be able to remember everyone. While they still needed more members, they could start now. Frankly, she didn’t even know them before they signed up. They all seemed talented though, which made her happy.
She smiled as they arrived. She clapped her hands for their attention. ’Over here! Kayla! Karrie!’ They walked over and Cynthia guided them over to two beanbags. She sat down on one herself. ‘Firstly, welcome to the Debate club.’ She put on the biggest smile she could muster. It wasn’t a fake smile, she was happy. But she normally wouldn’t smile that widely. Still, she felt delighted to have them here. The smile was practised, too. Genuine, but practised. No one knows there days how much a smile can mean. ‘So, as you probably know, my name is Cynthia, Cynthia Beaufort, I am a first year Ravenclaw. In my spare time, I like read, write poetry and draw watercolour. I come from a pureblood family in Oxford. As a child, I love debating. What about you, Karrie or Kayla? Can you tell us a bit about yourself?’

It was as chaotic as ever. Karrie was getting dissolved in the group of girls gossiping random topics. The current topic was about BaiKim. It was getting over her, though it was her all time favourite ship, but the girls squishing her together was making her uncomfortable. She excused herself from the group, hopefully no one stopped her this time.
She made her way towards an empty seat when suddenly an owl dropped a letter in front of her. It fell on the table, it's corner slightly touching the plate beside it. She opened it to view and realised that it was from Cynthia, the founder and judge of the debate club.
×××
Whoops, Karrie totally forgot about the club. She sent an application form for it and here was the letter of acceptance. She just realised that she saw a notice board of the club reminding about the ongoing icebreaker meeting. Karrie hurriedly went towards the location she remembered very well, the Small Hall. As she was making her way towards it, getting bumped into quite a lot of people and saying sorry, excuse me and my apologies again and again. She finally caught attention of a girl who clapped to her and called out Karrie's name. As she looked forward, she realised it was Cynthia. She also called out Kayla's name, the researcher who is going to help Karrie. Maybe she was there but Karrie wasn't able to recognise her because of the crowd.
Cynthia directed her towards one of the bean bags. As she got seperated with the crowd, she found another girl who was also coming with Karrie. So, she was Kayla, after all, she is going to help Karrie win the coming up debates.
As Karrie sat on the bean bag, Cynthia introduced herself as Cynthia Beaufort, first year, Ravenclaw. She told her main interests, like drawing, water-colouring and so on. She asked both of the girls to introduce themselves as well.
Karrie answered quite swiftly, "Thank you for accepting me in this club, first of all. I am Karrie. Karrie Myers. A simple toned first year, Gryffindor. I like adventurous and exciting activities, debates is one of them. I also like painting but not as good as Suni. I also practice archery and play violin."

@Damion White || @Karrie Myers || @Cynthia Beaufort || @Kayla RelmaBailey had seen a poster for a debate club, and after the debate club she had been a member of her first year had gone downhill, she decided she wanted to try again.
After Pulling on a red sweater, to keep the chill away bailey put on her jewelry- red and gold earrings and a red pendant. It was a rather Griffindor outfit for her, but it reminded her of her best friend @Kim Sato and she wondered if she’d see him at the meeting. She would be more surprised if she didn’t see him there, to be honest.
we are in practically every club together!!
I wonder who will be at the meeting! I’m guessing a bunch of Ravenclaws to be honest.
Walking down the corridors, Bailey arrived in the Small Hall where the meeting would be taking place. Entering the room, Bailey saw two people already there- and she knew both of them!
She grinned and said “Hey Karrie and Cynthia! How are you guys doing today? Cynthia- I think I saw your name on the poster for the Debate club- am I in the right place? If not, I’ll keep looking-“
Bailey paused, waiting for a reply. She played with the ring on her finger, waiting for a reply.
we are all born beautiful. it is a tragedy we are convinced that we are not”

I recently joined a club. Another one. This one was a debate club. Now, in debatable situations, I love to argue. I'll argue with my brother Sammy, I'll argue with my cousin Riona about our birthdays, I'll argue with my other cousins about which ice cream is better, etc. But to actually join a club where I can debate with others and prove a point just sounded miraculous. The debate club was run by Cynthia, a girl I had met in the study room. I was supposed to be a researcher...I first needed to find out where the meeting was. I had joined late, so I hadn't gotten the information. Urgh! Oh well. I'll start on the 1st floor...this was gonna take forever, surely there was a poster or something. I went down another notch to the ground floor and looked around. I was entering the Small Hall when I saw a group of 3 girls clustered around in one area around some beanbag chairs. Two of them I recognized: Bailey and Cynthia. The other girl I didn't recognize. "Hello!" I shouted, waving over at the girls. "This is debate club, right? I'm Aurora...Did I miss anything?" I added.

‘Hello everyone! Stop worrying, you totally came to the right place.’ Cynthia’s mouth turned upwards in a slight smile. ‘Some people are still late, but we can begin now.’ Cynthia couldn’t help but feel Bailey’s ring was somewhat distracting. She glanced away from it. ‘So, since this is a debate club, I’m going to give you guys some announcements about the upcoming debate. The topic will be POTIONSvsCharms. It would be in the rehearsal room. Bailey and Ro, you’ll be arguing for charms. Karrie, please transfer this to Kayla, you will be arguing for potions. Anyways, once we finish this session, you can begin writing your speeches. Keep in mind of our debate system. Each person goes three times. The first time they will present their speech, the second time they will refute the opponent’s speech, and the final time they will present again. Keep in mind that the final time should be shorter and to-the-point, a conclusion, don’t say anything new there. Me and @Damion White will judge. @Lily Blaze will spectate. She can pick sides and support that side, but we will not consider her decision. I would suggest you let the researcher dig in a bit first before you start writing. If there are any problems, shoot me an owl.’ Cynthia paused looking around at everyone. ‘Oh, wait, I’m sorry! @Bailey Glade, @Aurora Griffith , you have not yet introduced yourselves. Please do so.’

Damion walked to the Small hall. This was a place that he had gotten to know very well now. Sometimes he would come here. He wanted to be in places that he knew very well. He didn't want to go scooping around, well at times that was good too. But in the evening when he was feeling blah it was better to be in a place which he knew. Something familiar. He would feel blah at times. Not even his life was perfect. He couldn't stop thinking about how much his life had changes ever since he had moved away from Wales.
He shook his head lightly as he walked inside. He was hopefully not late. He would hate that. He didn't want to be late to something. Especially when he was in a position of judging it. He looked around and smiled at the new faces there and some old friends.
"Hello all. I am Damion White. As introduced by my fellow Judge, Cynthia. I am going to be the judge of the upcoming Debate. Best of luck to the researchers and the speakers." He said looking at them. He was happy that he was being involved in school activities and stuff. He didn't want to have any friends...
He took out a notepad and made a note of the teams who were on the Charms side and who were on the potions side. he would need to know that when Judging.
It passed you up and slipped you by. But we're all bound to end up back to where we started

It was the chattering situation again, but peaceful enough. Karrie noticed quite well, how everyone came one by one. When Bailey came, Karrie was really excited. She is the Vice President of the Social Service Club, after all, how can someone forget her? She seemed to remember Karrie too.
"Hey Bailey! The day is going quite good, how about you?"
After a while, Aurora came and then Cynthia took a hold of everything. She explained everything bit by bit. Karrie kept her words in mind, she was going to debate about potions. As Cynthia said to deliver this message to Kayla as well, Karrie nodded in agreement. What was the reason Kayla was not coming yet?
As Cynthia kept on explaining, Damion came right at the end of Cynthia's explanation. He wished everyone goodluck for the upcoming debate and Karrie smiled in return. She didn't think it was the right time to speak. Damion, the second judge, was noting down something, which Karrie of course didn't knew but could guess, maybe he was noting down what Cynthia said.
×××
There was a pause, followed by a silence. "Aa- so, is there anything else to know about, Cynthia?" Karrie broke the silence, lamely enough. She was also worried about Kayla at the same time. What was holding her up so much that can make her late for the meeting?

‘Nothing much. I think that covers it, Karrie.’ Cynthia was worried though. Where was Kayla? Perhaps she would not come. No matter, this meeting was not the most important. As for Lily, she wasn’t in this debate, so perhaps she will be coming next time. Cynthia smiled. ‘Frankly, this is all getting quite too formal. Here, I have some snacks, if any of you would like any.’ She hadn’t brought much. Some sherbet lemons, chocolate frogs and every flavour beans. ‘Since we got over the details of the debate,’ she said, popping a lemon into her mouth, ‘and if you don’t have any homework now, I think what we really should do is do some icebreaking. That was what I planned, anyways.’ Well, she had planned for it, but she always disliked icebreaking. Still, it seemed mandatory. What games could they play? Ooh, she got an idea. ‘So, since the debate is about classes, which one’s your favourite? Us first years, we still can’t do all of them yet, but for now, my absolute favourite is astronomy. I have loved it since I was little. Many people say I’m still too young to make up my mind, but I want to pursue a career in astronomy. So, what about you? Which class do you like best?’ A cliche question she knew, still, while post of the participants know each other, some still do not.

Late.
Typical Kayla.
Kayla joined a debate club as a researcher, and had received a welcoming owl. Also an invitation to their first somewhat meeting.
And she was late.
Kayla had simply been relaxing in her dorm, not a care in the world, only to remember she had a meeting to get to. Honestly, how she had forgotten about the meeting, she did not know. Perhaps it was because she forgot to write it down, or she was simply too busy thinking of other things. Kayla wasn't known for her superb memory so this was no surprise.
She put on a sweater, threw a scarf around her neck, and ran to the small hall where they were supposed to meet.
"...Late? Sorry- forgot, will arrive on time..." Kayla was quite exhausted from the run, and it probably had something to do with the fact that she was wearing winter clothes. It wasn't too cold, but chilly enough to wear a jacket. But perhaps wearing a scarf was pushing it.
"Hi, Cynthia, right? I'm Kayla. Hey guys," she waved at the rest of people in the room, not recognising anyone except Bailey Glade. "Hey, Bai." she smiled at Bailey, before turning back to Cynthia, "I'm so sorry I'm late. I just-" Kayla tried to think of a feeble excuse, but none came to her mind. "-I just forgot. But I'm here now; did I miss anything?" she added, hoping she hadn't missed anything important.@Cynthia Beaufort, @Bailey Glade, @Karrie Myers, @Damion White, @Aurora Griffith

‘Hey Kayla. Don’t worry. We’re all late sometimes.’ Cynthia said this to try to cheer the girl up, even though she was never late. Ever. Okay okay, it was a lie, but still, white lies can be nice, that’s a lesson she’ll never forget. It was just another thing about being a perfectionist. You’re never ever late. She could only guess, and not very well, what Kayla was doing. Daydreaming? Catching up on homework? No matter. The real problem was that Kayla had missed a lot of things. Even though Cynthia disliked re-explaining things, she did her best to sum what she had just said up. ‘Basically the topic is potions vs charms. Kayla, you and Karrie would be arguing for charms. Each team goes three times. Speech, refutation, conclusion. I will judge, along with Damion. I think that’s all, did I miss anything?’ She didn’t, but she figured there was no harm in asking. ‘So I guess the person I still don’t know in this club is you, Kayla. Would you care to tell us a bit about yourself? Right now, we’re only missing your introduction. Do you care for a lemon or a frog?’ By lemon, of course, she meant sherbet lemon, not the real thing. She scooped a couple up and pushed them in the direction of Kayla.
