Since no one wants the job, and since no one can agree on anything, I feel we should have nominations.

I nominate Theo since he caused this mess and he should be stuck with the job.

Feel free to vote in this post and if he has more votes than his non-existent opponent, he's Minister.

	I nominate myself. Can I do that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh Al. What are you DOING? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al the_other_albus 2021-05-07 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Jamie shouldn't have to do this. But he's right, someone has to. I can do this for him. And for Dad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al lilu__potter 2021-05-07 03:41 am UTC (link)
	I know, but I don't think anyone should do it. It's too fast. Let the heads of the department form a council for awhile. We can think like Slytherins instead of Gryffindors collectively for a few days at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al the_other_albus 2021-05-07 03:42 am UTC (link)
	That makes sense. But I don't think it's going to work that way. And you know if it's just Theo then Jamie will feel like he has no other choice. I can't let that happen to him. He feels so much responsibility already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al lilu__potter 2021-05-07 03:47 am UTC (link)
	I know. But I don't want this for you either. You're the only one with a decent relationship with Ha Dad right now, and I don't know how this will go over. But you're right. Jamie will do this if he thinks no one else will. And I don't think anyone else will. Should I throw my hat in the ring too? Or will that just muck things up more? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al the_other_albus 2021-05-07 03:49 am UTC (link)
	I think he would understand. Dad knows more than anyone about doing things for the greater good. I don't know. I think it might? But I won't stop you. I don't even know if I should have done this, but it's too late now. Maybe they'll all listen to you and we'll have time to think about all this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al lilu__potter 2021-05-07 03:51 am UTC (link)
	I hope so. I don't think he's exactly rational right now though. I'll give it time. I think you're right, it will just make things worse, and we can what others do. It's just going so fast, and I know that's ironic coming from me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al the_other_albus 2021-05-07 03:53 am UTC (link)
	Maybe not. It won't be the first time he's hated me. It's like everyone thinks the world will end if we don't have a minister for a week. We're two dozen people in an old castle in a dead country. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al lilu__potter 2021-05-07 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Maybe it should be me. He's never liked me anyway. Maybe someone else will step up, give us an actual, viable option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al the_other_albus 2021-05-07 04:05 am UTC (link)
	You'd probably be better than me. At least you can talk. Maybe. Hopefully. I don't even know anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al lilu__potter 2021-05-07 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Look. You would be a great Minister. You're brilliant, you understand how politics work, and you've got a way of seeing different sides. I even think you'll figure out the public speaking thing. I know you will. But it's not what you want any more than it's what Jamie or Dad wants, so that's why I don't want it for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Lilu \| Al the_other_albus 2021-05-07 04:08 am UTC (link)
	As long as I can practice my speeches in advance. I'll need you to help me write them. But someone has to do it. And I'm not exactly being that useful right now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Are you sure about this, darling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Albus/Lily the_other_albus 2021-05-07 03:44 am UTC (link)
	No Someone has to, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Albus/Lily lovingsacrifice 2021-05-07 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Well, when you put it that way, yes. Still, I know that you've sometimes had trouble in the past with the more social aspects of these things. I'll support you in any way I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Albus/Lily the_other_albus 2021-05-07 03:52 am UTC (link)
	I have no idea what I'll do if I get elected. Learn to speak in public, I guess. Do you think they'd let Lilu talk for me? I didn't think this through. I always think everything through. Way too much! Obcessively, to the detriment of everything else in my life! But I didn't think this through at all (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Albus/Lily lovingsacrifice 2021-05-07 03:57 am UTC (link)
	If you get elected, then I'm sure you'll have both your sister and I in your corner, as well as your grandfather. You would most likely be able to delegate some of your duties to others. You reacted off the cuff. After everything that's happened, it's natural to panic a little. Perhaps someone else will step forward, but if not we'll make it work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Albus/Lily the_other_albus 2021-05-07 04:07 am UTC (link)
	I appreciate that. Though I doubt anyone will vote for me. It's not natural for me. I guess this is a new day for all of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Albus/Lily lovingsacrifice 2021-05-07 04:13 am UTC (link)
	Putting yourself forward like this is incredibly brave of you. And we both know you're more than smart enough to handle it. I applaud you on doing something wildly outside your comfort zone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Albus/Lily the_other_albus 2021-05-07 04:17 am UTC (link)
	I didn't think smart and politics went together. I'm not doing this to be selfless. I just didn't want ~~Jamie~~ anyone to have to feel like they had no choice but to step up. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	te_regulus 2021-05-07 03:54 am UTC (link)
	You do know that this job requires talking to the Confederation right? Like actual, face-to-face communication in which you need to sound assertive and self-assured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_other_albus 2021-05-07 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	te_regulus 2021-05-07 04:25 am UTC (link)
	I look forward to the debates. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	savannah_monroe 2021-05-07 04:28 am UTC (link)
	You can certainly nominate yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	lilu__potter 2021-05-07 03:40 am UTC (link)
	Do we even need an actual Minister right now? This is moving very fast, and I don't think it needs to. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lovingsacrifice 2021-05-07 03:44 am UTC (link)
	I agree, I feel as though there needs to be time to consider every option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilu__potter 2021-05-07 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Exactly! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	savannah_monroe 2021-05-07 03:58 am UTC (link)
	Considering we need an official minister to access the vault at Gringotts and that the goblins will want proof that Mr. Potter is not the minister, then yes, we need a minister or the money will run out sooner rather than later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilu__potter 2021-05-07 04:01 am UTC (link)
	Sure, but that's not today tomorrow, or even this weekend. Why are we rushing this when we could take a week to sort things out? Everyone has gone into a panic spiral and it's not making anything better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	savannah_monroe 2021-05-07 04:27 am UTC (link)
	I don't think any of us are panicking. It's an administrative position that needs to be voted on. I'd say anger and resentment are more accurate and those will only get worse if left unchecked, but since we have two nominees, we can take the time to set up a vote. (Reply to this) (Parent)
