For my Closing Statement, I’m gonna do the cuck thing to do and thank everyone one more time, but its 110% sincerity. Thank you so much Cedric and Hermione, this game is amazing and I can’t wait to see the future of Enchanted Survivor!

Thank you to the cast, you guys are the reason the game meant so much, Cedric can assemble the formula but we are the variables that got to decide the outcome and I’ve had so much fun with each of you in some way!!

I apologize for seeming MIA, I think I’ve beat that horse a little too much this FTC and hope you all can see through that perception, I was here and I think I proved to you all through my answers why I deserve to be here and win.

I came into this final tribal council really proud of Mirabella and Ron and their gameplay, I’d have been happy losing to either of them. I don’t enjoy reading, dwelling or interfering with other finalists answers. I like the integrity of the game and their integrity as people show their true colors at the end, I’d rather focus on myself and my performance. However, I did read their answers this time and was a little upset and surprised to see what I thought were arrogant answers from one of the finalists, I believe it to be strategy but I wasn’t a fan. I still respect their gameplay apart from the end and respect both of them so much!! I’m proud to stand by both of you! I'd be okay if I lost and would be proud of making it far but I want this win!!

Ron and Mirabella, thank you for being easy allies and people to get along with, the struggles of the game were easy to endure with you two, and that goes for many of the jurors as well!! My RoP is as true as true could be! Good luck to both of you <3 you both are amazing!

When its time to put that pen to your parchment I hope you guys think about what kind of winner you want. I think I learned a lot throughout the game and ultimately progressed into a better person because of it. I’m lucky to be apart of the cast and lucky to have gotten to this spot. I worked hard and learned a lot from my failures to get here and hope that translates. I didn’t have a flashy game “RT” but I did work hard to get here, and I don’t think I “tried” hard, because I worked hard to be here.

I was making it to the end either way, it seemed clear for awhile, I was going to be one of them, despite receiving votes as people left. I tried weighing out my options with other people, helped people I wanted to and those who asked. I am walking out of this proud, wearing my Slytherin jersey and am happy with this arc of Draco Malfoy. Bad boy turned good, I thought I was going to go out of this game kicking and screaming and angry. I came out of this game looking back for my friends and allies to help them along and fight my way to the end and ultimately standing tall after a long difficult time in this Chamber of Secrets and so happy!

I just ask you all to put my name down on the parchment as winner of this game. I wish I had painted a prettier picture in the beginning of this tribal council, but I think through my answers, I’ve shown you my drive, my passion and my progression as a person and a player. Thank you so much everyone, this game would not have been the same without you <3

Draco, thanks for the votes! We never really got to know each other, its clear that you were able to connect with others, but we just never got that. I'm not bitter or anything with you, I have no questions for , and god luck with however this vote plays out!


Thanks for putting up with em one after another after another after another. I always thought we had a mutual respect despite our first few rounds together and hope it wasn't too much to put a sour taste in your mouth of me. I'm not bitter, but I'm also not the one who kept receiving votes from you. But anyway, thank you for saying all that, its absolutely appreciated. Good luck with your vote!

Draco!!!! I know you have your excuses and saying that you were indeed around and I completely buy there is some verity to that. I just want to explain how it’s hard to feel ok about your merge presence when I can harken back to a time that you were very different. I think that that’s what my issue was, is a change in behavior. That’s what made me never surely trust you with a vote. Despite this, you ARE here and built less mistrust than I did. So my hope for you is that you can convey the reason of why you’re here through your answers. I’ll go over everything you’ve said, but I want you to mention what work you really put in the later hours when you would suddenly come back into the game that you might want people to appreciate more.


Madame Maxime!!!! What a delicious surprise, I hope you do read back! In Pomfrey’s question and answers I do actually talk about this a lot! I did recently start a new job thats been a lot more professional, my gf “Astoria” is in grad school so neither of us are really here until 6.. which is 8 EST. I’d try and be as present as possible while I was online, but I’d have a lot of house work and chores or dinner to make for two and live in an apartment so I have to take my dog outside when she needs it. I do not want to go to a sympathetic vote place, or say I’m winning this for my dad (cause he doesn’t give a fuck about survivor or online survivor for that matter) but he’s taken a turn for the worse… he’s located EST so I’ve spent a lot of my time on the phone with him, I will not deny for a second that I did have a lot of distractions in this game but I didn’t ever waiver from who I was, the connections I built or who I was working with and what I planned to do with said people!

After Newt left, I felt unrightfully personally victimized and a lot of that was directed at you, and I’m really ashamed on how we left things. I was upset and it was because I thought we were pretty clear cut having each other’s backs and felt like you intentionally left me out often when I so desperately loved working with you when things were going well.

I did change my behavior, which I really went in depth with for Pomfrey’s answer but I thought I was emerging in a bad way, clearly… at first I thought I was coming forth as a threat or a potential early merge target and then it became unawareness, which you had a lot to do with, I was left out of the loop and lied to and confused and I was fed up! I decided just to do exactly what I’d like and was best for me and be a little more appreciative and honest. I can see on a presence level, its hard to credit me, but like you said, I managed to build less mistrust, and I ultimately think I built a lot of relationships that took me far and I was able to do it early on and then after becoming more independent, I was looked down upon and able to explore ALL my options because there was no repercussions for me. I understand that we did not leave things on the most positive note during my character’s arc, but it is almost complete, which honestly is a game I’m really proud and hope you are too!


Question for all. Relate each juror to an exhibit in the Louvre. OR paint me like one of your little French girls. OR just beg for my vote. I like to give options.

Please, please, please vote for me Madame Maxime!!!!!! Please!! Think of all the exciting things we'd said we'd do together and how much we can do once I win a million dollars, you've said that you love short men, but imagine how much more fun you'd have with a short RICH man? Please!


Newt: While this piece doesn't remind me of Newt as a person, this reminds me very much of Newt Scamander and Newt Scamander obviously reminds me of him from this game! (If the image doesn't work for you, it is called the Ibex Rhyton from Ancient Persia)
Spoiler+


Gilderoy: This piece pretty much summarizes Gilderoy Lockhart in my book!
Spoiler+


Angelina: This one is dull, and I hope she'd forgive me but I'm giving Angelina this beautiful and boring piece of art work, she is not boring, but I think a lot of people viewed her as the golden child of the game, I did! So I'm going to say this solid gold piece.
Spoiler+


Amos: This one is Amos and I, a pic of the two of us, and I like to imagine myself as the child and Amos as the guy with the worts (No offense) I just think this is an awkward picture and although I enjoy him now, we had an awkward relationship.
Spoiler+


Lily: This one is pretty simple, I was born and reared Catholic, although I don't practice very much I still think Mary, Mother of Jesus was one of the best of all time, (second to my mom, Grandma and Pink.) She was very likable and in my opinion very motherly, I don't know if she actually had kids but she did a great job fitting that this season.
Spoiler+


Cormac: IDK, I didn't think Cormac was hysterical, he was very down to earth and very serious and straight forward with me. There is also a lot of sensitiveness to this piece behind the eyes. There's something about the piece that does attract me, and Cormac is a different sort of friend but a genuine one, something about that attracts me to it.
Spoiler+


Fred: This one is a little plain too unfortunately, but Fred was ALWAYS doing homework or working on something that needed to get done. This girl looks like she's been slaving away and looks like she isn't going to be done anytime soon, but keep working Fred!! That will end one day!
Spoiler+


Pomfrey: I chose this one for a few reasons, I immediately thought it was funny... is it just me or both these woman SORT OF resemble Pomfrey? This is the Annunciation, but its like absolutely ridiculous? What are they doing with their hands and why is she wearing all black in front of a red bed? I'm guessing an S&M room. Oh and look! Casually an uncomfortable couch for a bunch of perverts to watch. IDK, despite looking like Pomfrey, this just made me laugh and I wanted to share it with her.
Spoiler+


And I didn't forget about you!

Spoiler+


I hope this helps with your decision making Maxime!! I loved our time together and am ashamed in our falling out but really hope you can see that I really deserve this win and your vote! If there is anything else I can do for you, let me know!! I enjoyed answering, so thank you! <3

Draco: If I’m being honest, when picking tribes round one I kinda picked you as fodder, but you were probably the biggest surprise for me on our OG tribe. I feel like we just bonded so well together and I was so sad we were separated the rest of the game until merge. Your game to me is probably the least flashy? But tbh that’s not really important to me and I feel like you have showed a lot of self-awareness on this FTC so I’m glad to see.

LOL, I'm surprised I was fodder at first, only cause I thought I was pretty into my character, but I remember us hitting it off pretty immediately. You really made a huge impression right away and I was sweating about you when you were on that tribe 4-1. I always felt like our mentality of working together was "you do you, I'll do me but I won't do you, and you won't do me" and that's a great ally in my eyes! I don't think its flashy and out right the braggyiest... I still think I deserve the win and think my game was great but I'd rather be humble an have an open and honest conversation about what went down and what it was like from my end. I hope that through a few more answers and my closing statement that I can turn the tides and gain your vote, cause I'd love it!

I’ve been keeping up with most of this FTC and I really don’t know what to ask. I guess, if you were to win this season, how do you think you would be remembered? Idk if I think of anything else I’ll ask later!

When I win this season I'll be remembered for approaching this game as Draco and turning it into a Draco arc (that would have been kind of dull for 7 books) but ultimately if JK Rowling started writing the series and decided to end at Chamber of Secrets, I think his change of heart and arc would have had to happen still, Draco is one of my favorite characters and Slytherin is my favorite house personally! I have a Slytherin jersey that I've worn through out the game and in real life (I also have legit 6 wands from Noble Collections, the Marauders Map and the Prophecy!)

I started this game in from my perspective a driver's a seat, I felt a little hot headed early on and later on I took a blow that wasn't a blow to worsen my game but put me in check: On our original tribe I think its safe to say that the Weasleys, you and I were probably in the better positions with that 9 that started. I think being that strong in character presence that could break down into real conversations was refreshing. Draco let me be assertive and speak openly and its not as if I didn't have a filter, but I was making bolder statements and okay with making enemies.

By the time we swapped, I think I toned the character back just a bit, especially to deal with Dudley. Fred and I were already at the numbers disadvantage, I really liked Mira from our pregame chat and I also went for the Gryffendor idol, so I was able to click, but I was still hot headed, Snape and I argued with one another constantly and we were both "bad guys" so we had to both get in the last word so it'd never end (most of the time I'd just try and get him confused so he'd stop talking) I had scored that point by lying to Snape, subsequently losing an ally and when it was time to swap a second time, Snape made sure it was awkward.

I didn't trust Snape, Amos or Gilderoy moving forward (despite liking GL) so it was an easy decision to immediately plot an Amos/Snape vote and I was moving forward with Newt/Mira/Ron, to meet up with Fred/Maxime and then also reconnecting with Pomfrey/Cormac meanwhile, hopefully keep Gilderoy in check since he seemed to be palling around with Ron/Draco so well! Hell, everyone even seemed to like Angelina, I figured I 'd know exactly what she'd be up to just through the game of telephone. I thought I had my ducks in a row, I thought I crossed my T's and dotted my i's. I was like, "My friends are friends with everyone this is going to be cake" and those first few rounds were a check for me... not as if my game was bad, but I was worried. I wasn't in the know and was lied to by both set of allies. I think it was because of that distrust and pushing my own agenda for so long... I was like, "Damn, I need to tone it back." With my work schedule and my dad's illness, I was already devoting a huge chunk of my schedule to what was happening personally and immediately, I couldn't be that hot head anymore in the game and I took that failure of the first few rounds of my merge game and tried to change for the better. I feel like even though Amos was my long time foe, and I think even after a small bit with him, I changed my attitude towards him.

I became more friendly and dropped my defense, spoke more honestly about the game. I still wanted to be Draco, but I wanted to treat everyone how they deserved it, we were a REALLY awesome cast and we all got along so well together. (I think the cast altogether, how random some votes were, how the majority wasn't always unanimous, or sometimes 4 or 3 were the majority of votes.) I started expanding my options and horizons and by mid merge I think I emerged as an independent floater. I still had my alliances, I still had my connections but people either saw me as a random vote, I call it a free thinker after being lied to and misinformed for the previous votes! I knew what options I needed to keep available to get me to the end, and I kept those options alive the entire game... I think my game could be stronger had my plans been executed more thoroughly... I'd have liked to see Cormac and you in the final 4, but I think it only credits my game that I was able to try and pursue other options with you and still be able to make it to the end, because my path was clear. I knew people wanted to take me to the end and as long as they were around, lets keep rolling!

I think that Draco Malfoy will be remembered for the story arc, we managed to condense 7 books (or 8 depending on the play) and 8 movies into 1 season of Survivor, Draco came into this game a villain, a bad boy and overall hot head thinking I'm better and I left a lot more down to earth, a lot more myself and full of respect for my peers instead and my favorite part is this wasn't something I had to learn NOW during the FTC, it was something I learned during the game, something that I'm proud to stand by now. I think I'm the most deserving, if we pardoned the perception of my activity in the game, I think it'd speak volumes and I think you all can see I was here, I never self voted, participated in every challenge (even if i was last in many) and was always making sure Cedric knew my schedule to work with the game. I think I really played this game a little like Sandra and Fabio, Sandra with her challenge performance and her attempts at different paths while ultimately making it to the end still, and Fabio for not always being in the know, but still staying true to himself and moving forward, not listening to the negativity because I've got a game to win on the line! I can't let the negativity get to me! I made a complete change of heart and it was absolutely for the better. And that's how I'll be remembered.

(I'll also be remembered for not reading up on idols as much, I feel like everyone got kinda annoyed by how confused I was with items and polyjuice potions etc.... I admit that its strategy to separate myself from idols after pursuing the Gryffendor one, but I ended up getting my polyjuice potions ingredients with Ron and Mira and Angelina anyway so :P I don't think thats important but funny)

Good luck all three of you and ily!

I really hope this helped Pomfrey, I want your vote and I want the win. I think here I touched up on my game a little more start to finish and think that could be an important factor. If there's anything else you need, please let me know and I'd love to answer!! Ily2! Lets watch some Black Mirror and drink 5 parts vodka afterwards

Draco, it's actually good to hear that you were more involved in the game than I could see, unfortunately I am getting the impression that a lot of us saw you as being MIA and only coming around once or twice a day. I don't have any specific question for you but I will have a question I would like all of you to answer at the end. Please feel free to answer any part of the other questions I ask Ron/Mira or add any comments you feel could fill in pieces!

Hey Angelina! No hard feelings, its a shame I was viewed as MIA when I was actively here. I did pick up a busy schedule and discovered unwanted news, it definitely took time away from my computer time had my life been different, but I was online at least every day from 8PM-2AM EST. I do understand that people may have wanted more but I intend to deliver. I was active, I was here. I don't like to combat or comment on other finalists answers, I think it shows a bad attitude and it sniffs out an ugly behavior, but if it helps you, I'd absolutely do that thoroughly but if you don't have anything specific than I'll just answer the one you'd like us all to. But I hope you change your mind and can see my game for what it is, if there's anything from the other questions and answers that you're now seeing, I'd love to answer. Thanks Angelina!

Alright, the thing I would like for you all to do for me is to tell me one memorable conversation or interaction that you each personally had with each of the jurors and also compliment one thing about their game play. The only rule is that you cannot answer this about me! Finally, I would also like you to post your favorite Snape mem or gif just for fun!

Pomfrey: My first memory of Madame Pomfrey is her take on healing potions and recipes for drinks. I think one was heavily based in Vodka and Avodka kevada. I also (even though I talked with Mirabella and Ron about this too) but one of our first conversations were about how awesome Black Mirror is and how awesome season 4 is! Hang the DJ, Crocodile and USS Callister are so fucking good! I think Pomfrey had a great social game, she came into the game so light hearted and not at all playing as Pomfrey but she just was genuine about her personality and was able to play an awesome social game because of it. I think she could've been here and if she was I think she'd win!

Fred: Kingdom Hearts <3 Fred and I talked a lot premerge, something we both bonded over was about how amazing the Kingdom Hearts series, how satisfying it is to beat and how emotionally invested you get by the end! When I was a kid and I beat the first one, I cried when Kairi and Sora's hand's separated when he said, "I'll come back for you, I promise" and she replied, "I know you will" BOOM hands separate



I respected Fred's ability to forgive... I voted for Fred out of panic, I was working and returned at home with 30 minutes to vote, I spoke with Maxime, heard my other options, understood where the idols were going to be, voted for Fred. It was a dumb move and the biggest weakness to my game in my opinion. But Fred never made me feel like it was weakening me or our relationship. While I felt like there was a hinderance, he really did a great job making me comfortable and I think that's a huge credit to his game.

Cormac: Cormac and I didn't talk too much although when we did, it was nothing but respect. One interaction we talked about creative writing, an oragami crane piece how to, and I'm really anxious to read it. He also would call me Little D, which reminded me of Gossip Girl! Cormac was incredibly perceptive and even though he was hard to talk to, he really proved to be observant and socially aware, he saw his best options and he was a stand up guy and apologized after he voted for me and recognized we should work together.

Lily: Wine and how she was super encouraging cause I recently bought a winemaking book and she was going out to drink some wine later that weekend! Also when she was making banana muffins in the beginning of the game, they looked awesome. I'm getting so hungry now. I think Lily was super charming and sweet, she was a tough competitor and sometimes people try and match that with niceness and a huge amount of strategy that it comes off as fake... I don't think it was fake with Lily, she was a tough competitor and smart. I don't think anyone underestimated her and I don't think anyone disrespected her.

Amos: I mentioned it before, we talked about Jam, Preserves, Jelly, what types we liked, I believe his was strawberry, I prefer Raspberry but truthfully I just haven't had grape and strawberry in awhile. I also remember after I voted him I approached him apologizing and we kind of just acknowledged that like "Its cool" What I liked about Amos' gameplay was that his game seemingly kind of blew up early, I was gunning for him so hard for SO long that I felt like there wasn't anyway around it from happening, but he was always able to keep up his attitude and we were able to make amends and I think thats a credit to who he is. I also thought the Ravenclaw idol was a bad ass play.

Maxime: Maxime and I began flirting from the get go, just for fun. I remember when we first swapped I talked to her and apologized for voting out her boyfriend even though I'm sure he was a disappointment in the bedroom, and she said that she actually preferred shorter man ;-) and then thats when our Showmance began. We also watched Titanic 2 with Mirabella and she thought that it was funny how awful I thought it was and we said we'd watch more bad movies but we haven't. </3 I respected her game, she saw a common ground just like I did with a final 8 with you(angelina)/her added to the actual final 6 it seemed to me, she took initiative and categorized us but it was pulling the trigger too early, something I recommended, and she was sort of a martyr in a sense. She also spoke up to me about how I did not seem like I talked to her enough which I addressed in another answer, I was caught off guard because I liked her a lot. She was really blunt, take it or leave it and I can respect that.

Gilderoy: I recently got a new job and was very intimidated by all the new things I was learning, orientation was 2 and a half weeks and I felt like I was on information overload, I remember Lockhart being very sincere and sweet, which was rare at the time, and he just expressed that learning new things are always scary and intimidating and sometimes when you feel like you're not ready- you are, and also expressed sometimes it just takes awhile to get used to and thats okay! I loved how BOLD Lockhart was, he played more daring than anyone and more fearless than anyone and it bit him in the butt but I loved it.

Newt: I've mentioned it a few times for Newt too but he and I told each other on one of our first interactions that his first choice was Newt and second choice was Draco and mine was the exact opposite. I really liked Fantastic Beasts and think of Newt all the time, I say, "worrying is suffering twice" in this game and throughout my life since! What I like about Newt is that he was a floater, his loyalties weren't set in stone but they were made for him. I think he was a loyal guy though, he was almost a martyr in that sense. I thought he'd be loyal to me too and had the privilege to work with him for those two rounds and wish those votes for Lockhart were votes for Amos to make the first round a tie.

I hope this helps with your decision making, if theres anything else I can do for you, I'd be happy to do so! Thanks Angelina!

Draco! Hello! I enjoyed talking to you when you were around but I think you had a bit of reputation for being MIA for long periods of time. (We probably have that in common). From my point of view, I enjoyed talking to you over a large majority of the cast and I wish we had more time to bond throughout the game. I think from what I've seen, people have seen you as kind of a follower in this game which I really can't disagree with because I didn't really see anything in your Opening Statement that gave much insight into moves that you made outside keeping up your schtick and voting wrong. So, my question for you is, what moment in this game are you most proud of and why?

I enjoyed talking to you too Newt!!

I'm going to go back in time, the Snape vote, I understand hey, that's Final 13 but I was really proud of that. We were so worried about items, idols, splitting.... Snape and I, while he tried pulling me in for the vote, acted like he thought he intimidated me, (in fact he said that) I had tried being friendly but his character got in the way, and like Cormac mentioned, like I didn't want to take shit in an ORG, if you're acting like you've got a problem lets talk about it. And Snape and I talked a lot about it a lot. He really put himself on the line for a second and I had tried bartering with him about the vote, but it was his way or the highway and I told him to pack up his 2003 Nissan Xterra and hit the highway. I felt like it was also a bonding experience for mira, Ron, you and I.

I also loved the round I won wizard chess, I'll credit a lot of it to luck but I don't win many challenges often so that felt amazing.

I don't see how I was much of a follower. I expressed my opinion every round and apart from following Maxime blindly out of panic, I followed through with what I said I'd do. I was on a path set for the end as long as my friends were around and I was able to move independently and try and shake things up later on, that didn't work unfortunately but although my game would be stronger if they did happen... I don't think they're going to discredit my game because they didn't, I reached out and was willing to do something. Even during the Amos vote, although it was incredibly easy and I'm sure Lily was talking to multiple people, but everyone was leaning to voting her over Amos, it was changed in an hour, I'm sure that wasn't all Draco as much as I'd like it to be, and it was obvious Amos was my choice target anyway, I was always open to being an independent floater and I think thats what I was apart from a follower. I think I just happened to be in a good spot with Ron, Pomfrey, Cormac, Mira and Fred.


My last question for all of you to sort the jurors into a Hogwarts house. I don't need an explanation because I don't want to turn this into a giant comparison question. So just a name and their house will suffice. (Unless you feel inclined to say more but I'm not giving bonus points for that!!)

Pomfrey: Gryffendor
Fred: Hufflepuff
Cormac: Slytherin
Lily: Ravenclaw
Amos: Ravenclaw
Angelina: Gryffendor
Maxime: Slytherin
Lockhart: Slytherin
Newt: Hufflepuff

Anyway, I hope that this helps you and enlightens you a little bit more about my game. I'm incredibly proud of it and I hope you can see that. I had the relationships to get me further and had the floater independence to be written off as a non threat so that I could strut my stuff, state my intentions, proceed with them and then make it to the end. Thanks for the questions! If there's anything else you need, I'm happy to answer.
Posted in Fantastic Questions & Where to Answer Them
Draco Malfoy 17th Mar 2018 3:57:52 AM
Draco, I want you to really take in what I am about to say. I want you to really listen because you are a wonderful, kind, independent, beautiful person. Your social game was at least a step or two above mine, you won Wizard Chess and you took shit from no one. I was incredibly touched that you stuck with me at the final six despite knowing how the vote was going to go. I never expected it and I love you within the context of this game. Listen, you are not a goat. You have every chance of earning my vote and I expect nothing but your best efforts.


Wow man, I wish I could translate through words how much you've made me smile reading this. I loved that introduction too, I still haven't read that paper crane piece yet, but I can tell I should after that! (We should brainstorm a screenplay for Quidditch Through the Ages) But the decision to vote with you was easy, I made my word to you and I really meant it. I still wish that Pomfrey and/or Ron voted for Mira or Fred with us, but in the end I'm incredibly happy to be here!

For all three of you, I would like you to grade how you believe your social relationships are with each of the jury members going into this final tribal council using the O.W.L. grading rubric: (O)utstanding, (E)xceeds Expectations, (A)cceptable, (P)oor, (D)readful, (T)roll. Please, give an extremely brief explanation for each grade you give yourself.

1. Amos Diggory: (T)roll, because overall its got to be pretty bad. Although I almost gave it a (D)readful and I think Amos would almost agree that it would be, or could be. Amos and I didn't click right away... or at all, but after awhile it was too expected and well known that I had voted him so many times it got less awkward. We had a great talk about jams and differences in flavor, seeds, and types of jelly, jam and preserves. But that's about our best conversation. In the end of the day though, I gained a lot of respect for Amos. He put up with me round after round and I think it was fine, we knew we weren't going to work together so we didn't have an urge to talk much.

2. Angelina Johnson: (A)cceptable, I personally think Angelina and I did click. I think everyone did with her in the grand scheme of things, so I was set back with her priorities despite it. I don't know, we shared information and expressed intent to work together and move forward but I don't think I left as big of an impression on her as she did on me, but I didn't even vote for her. I think it was another missed opportunity but I also think we had a good relationship.

3. Cormac McLaggen: (A)cceptable, while I want to say NOW I'm at a full (O)ustanding, because I think that F7/F8 when we started to get real, we wouldn't have to talk long amounts of time or in depth, it was a very simple respect that I think drives society (and you and I) together! So going INTO this, O, but during the game I think it was an A, we made up immediately after but you did vote for me, so it would be premature and almost too amazing to say our relationship was perfect.

4. Fred Weasley: Fred and I had quite a journey, we went from RictumSempra... to that other tribe with Dudley, and then were separated and then merged... Fred was my#1, we had alliances with Mira/Maxime which I thought was going to be incredibly prosperous and Fred was my go to guy the entire time, I had something wacky to say, a fun topic, video games, you name it (even if he is always doing homework!) Fred was my #1, we were for sure at an (O)utstanding, but after the second swap and going into merge, we talked but I was hurt about a lot of the nonsense of the first merge round... I didn't understand why I was left out and why he left me out too. I was seeing our mutual friends and allies start linking as well and misguided that as conversation without speaking, I was misinformed during the GL vote and voted for him and it shoved an awkward shiv into our gears. I feel really bad about it, but going into our FTC I'll say (A)cceptable. I think we can average that grade out to that if this is my final grade.

5. Gilderoy Lockhart: (E)xceeds Expectations, GL was so... different at first, he was in character and hard to talk to, but as soon as we hit the third tribe he was so funny, he was throwing himself into it so much more than GL now. But ultimately we really bonded and got along, I felt like this season was as if I was actually in Harry's shoes and when Ron and I went into the chamber of secrets, Lockhart would be there to do exactly what Lockhart did in the books! Obliviated himself.

6. Lily Potter: (P)oor, this is really tough to grade and I think its harder to do this now that you're all on the jury instead of playing. Lily and I weren't aligned and we knew we weren't going to be but every conversation I ever had with Lily was nothing but kindness (other than when I was talking about her rubbish son) we didn't talk in depth about things but it was really pleasant, I think it could average out to an (A)cceptable if the teacher was seeing in between the lines.

7. Madame Maxime: (E)xceeds Expectations, ya know, I'm sure she'll disagree because she told me otherwise when she was in the game!! She told me that I didn't talk to her enough, that was when I had to check myself because Maxime was one of 3 people I talked to the most!!! I loved Maxime and was ready to do all those moves we had planned that didn't work out or she didn't vote. Maxime, Mira, Fred and I were in that alliance so I thought we were going places, but we weren't. I still love it, we flirted more than we should have, I think that's what we did 90% of our convos. So she was my favorite showmance.

8. Madame "Poppy" Pomfrey: (E)xceeds Expectations, this was another one that was tough to grade. I don't think she feels the same way, I wanted to say (O)utstanding because that's what our relationship was to me. But I knew she had other options and I knew that my schedule didn't always link up with hers. She's by far one of my favorite people here though so I do want to ask my teacher if she'd exchange that letter grade of an O, but answering honestly, E.

9. Newt Scamander: (A)cceptable, I keep bumping my letters down!! Only because I'm worried I didn't leave that same impression. Newt and I were really cool with each other the entire way through, Newt was someone I wanted to play as and Draco is someone Newt wanted to play as. We expressed interest time after time in working with each other, were able to do that for the Snape vote and ultimately I was unaware of Newt's departure altogether so I really think our relationship could be higher, but I'm going to be humble and take the letter grade I gave.


I hope this and my other answers can shed some light on my game and the relationships I built and maintained. I was labeled with you, as one of the harder people to hold a conversation with. I understand I was spotty at times but I really think when I look at this jury I see no one other than a friend to some capacity.

You're an encouraging force for me though Cormac and I really appreciate that and hope to gain some more momentum after this, in the context of the game, I love you too Big C.

what modern influential leader have you emulated during this game and what qualities do you feel from that individual that you have shown best?
Good luck everyone! ily!!


The modern influential leader I think I have emulated honestly is going to be the CEO of Walt Disney Pictures, Bob Iger.

I think Disney is an incredible company, as far as products and merchandise, theme parks, vacation spots, films, television, radio, I think Disney really has a stock in everything. The best part is that its a for the entire family, I'm gonna love Disney forever. (Maybe I don't love EVERYTHING but some things, are definitely for me and I love those things!)

Bob Iger is always looking for opportunities for Disney to advance on all mediums sometimes being years ahead and setting the bar. He's always got options and deals with other companies and almost is "trying" to monopolize. I think the fact that Bob works for Disney says that he's a huge fan of the essence of magic, I LOVED being in character during the first part of my game, I showed Enthusiasm, like Bob Iger to be apart of this game, I thanked Cedric (not for recognition to bring up right now) but because this is a fucking awesome game and anyone who is a harry potter fan would probably like this a lot, and its Survivor. Legit 2 of my favorite things, and it was so well executed I wanted to show him that I appreciate it, and I think Iger and Disney are great about showing their appreciation.

I showed eagerness to jump into the character of Draco, I knew it would be a little challenging and eventually I felt (specifically to Severus) that I was being mean, but it was easy to drop that once (like Bob Iger) I started expanding my company, building partnerships, alliances and relationships with other people, and even if I wasn't planning on working with you, I'd enjoy a friendly relationship because who wouldn't like that?

Bob Iger pushes for honesty, while I don't think I started the game this way or even intended it, over time I developed a more honest approach. The relationships I made and my end game was a vision I had for my future (like Bob Iger, planning and developing his company) followed by your vote, I knew that I was in a pretty good spot. As long as Ron, Pomfrey, Cormac, Fred and Mirabella were moving forward, I felt like I was! (not to brush Maxime, GL or Newt to the curb but I was almost entirely independent during those rounds)

Bob Iger enjoys helping others, I enjoyed helping others even if it was against popular opinion. I think Bob Iger and Disney itself tend to make and hop onto bandwagons (but they make it next level) well, I think a lot of the time I would go against popular opinion because it was the right thing to do. I tried making offers to people later on, lending a helping hand and was also offering that hand to better myself and my position in the game. If I can scratch your back and you can scratch mine, its gonna feel really good for both of us.

Some opportunities were missed because of not investing in my stock, Newt I think could have stayed and I think Cormac and Pomfrey would have made it to the Final 4 had more people invested in my stock at final 6. My game is straight forward, its just about progression, passion, honesty, fun and respect and I think that Bob Iger and I share a lot of those qualities.

I really enjoyed this one, it was really unconventional and original, (even if your friend helped you.) I did some research, I learned things while answering this, I learned a lot about myself during the game and even while answering this. It was interesting and I had fun writing it all together. I hope you're satisfied with the answer and can afford a trip to Disney soon cause I want to go so bad now! Thanks Lily!!! ily2!

Draco, I have to say, I’m surprised to see you here. It’s a happy surprise, but it feels like you consistently were left out and had a harder path to the end than most. You never seemed to give up, and seemingly tried your hardest, which is good - but this isn’t about who tried the hardest. Why should I vote for you, when Mira and Ron both seemingly played better? What do you have that they don’t?

I feel like you said it right there, seemingly. I think my game is unique, I think it started off strong and then I was able to become almost under the radar, almost because I was still voted for multiple times.

What I have that they don't is "lack of worry" I'm not saying I wasn't ever worried, but they voted and played as if they were nervous. I was able to vote, be honest, sure I was mislead and lied to.( Other than Snape, I don't think I ever really lied? And Dudley.) I'm not saying that's a reason that I didn't worry, but what do I have to lose if I'm honest? Even if I did make a bigger impression when I was lying to them, I think it set a tone for a more honest game... which is maybe why I was mislead and lied to?

I think my game is somewhat of a missed opportunity but I'm still here at the end which goes to say something. I could have been used as a vote to get Amos tied with Newt, if everyone had just been honest like I was to them. I think even though I was voted for many times, I wasn't ever worried of actually leaving, I had allies that I knew wouldn't vote for me, and unless it was like a crazy vote where the majority of votes were like 4, I knew not to look over my shoulder.

Mirabella, Ron and I were actually in an alliance for awhile, where we exchanged information about polyjuice potion and exchanged items, Mirabella said that she didn't didn't get it and messed up, a moment later Ron told me that she was still waiting for an answer from Cedric and then was followed by Angelina telling me that the idol was found, while I agreed with Angelina that it was probably Mirabella, I never brought it up to Mirabella just cause I didn't think it was appropriate to pressure bringing it up, she told me that she didn't have it even though I knew otherwise, small things like that aren't the keys to winning, but small things like that get you to the end, knowledge is power, and even then brief things you and I discussed, I kept between you and I, that information was for me to use at my will and I didn't think exposing anything about our relationship, even a little.

I feel like my game was similar to Sandra and Fabio, I was open and ready for bigger moves. And moves that I had hoped would happen earlier, but I managed to survive and made it to the end rather than control every situation. And that's a matter to you, what kind of winner do you want to have? When Cormac left I had talked to Ron and Pomfrey about pulling the trigger on either Fred OR Mirabella and when push came to shove, I was the only one willing to make the move with Cormac, (even if it wasn't eliminating the greater target of Mira) Pomfrey and Ron should've been comfortable with it, there was nothing to lose with the choice of Fred or Mira and I knew I wasn't in jeopardy of leaving if I voted in the minority, I hadn't been worried before.

I was incredibly happy with the performance that I gave in the pre-merge and think I was cast aside during the merge some votes, targeted often and although I tried hard, I don't think I ultimately was "trying." I wasn't scraping or doing the bare minimum either, this game I was setting my own pace and I fell behind at times (in the grand scheme of the pact,) but I always caught back up. I'm proud of the immunity win I won, despite how random it was.

I don't have flashy items and threat notoriety, I'm not a social threat that is going to promise you unwarranted promises, I'm going to be honest with you as you. And if you're going to vote for me as the elimination vote, then I'm off the hook because you're not going to explain it to me and I don't have to explain it to you, but I'm staying and you're not.

Gilderoy Lockhart, the reason that you should vote for me, is my honesty, my pizazz, what you see is what you get. Here's a bowl of ice cream, either you like it or you don't. I think I was able to have a fine relationship with everyone, maybe not the most social but I think I was always a friendly face (after premerge.) I think you can get caught up in flashyness of game play but ultimately, what kind of winner do you want?

Now, for all three of you. To me, the game looked BORING after Angelina’s boot. Multiple jurors have said the game was boring after either Angelina left. I want to know, from the three of you: did you think the game got boring after Angelina left? If you do believe it got boring, what did you do to try and make it more interesting?

Well I won Immunity, which was boring but in an exciting way.

I'll tell you, I do think it got a little boring, but for the right reasons, Draco needed a way to make it to the end, with Lily and Amos following- there wasn't an issue. But I knew it could be more boring and I wanted to make it even more boring for myself to prevail. By that I mean, I tried voting Mirabella out at 6 with Pomfrey/Ron or Fred out at 6 with Cormac/Pomfrey/Fred. Mirabella had been telling people about some item?? Where she could like vote swap? I don't even know what that means, but everyone was really paranoid about it, I did my best to sway that vote. I was mobile and on a roadtrip, decided to become the passenger cause I couldn't handle Astoria texting for me so I had her pull over so I could try and talk it out with them. I also tried being blunt that round, it was our first opportunity to perform in front of the jury, so when Cedric asked, "Who is the greatest threat?" I was honest.... Draco was making it to FTC no matter what, and then the second person (depending on that Immunity Necklace)... was Mirabella.

IDK, I've been drinking a little while I've been answering this so I hope its not too wacky and here and there but I really think you can respect this vote and my answers because they've been honest. I am really excited to answer more and see how everyone perceived the rest of the game, if I was the least deserving finalists in your eyes, I hope these answers and the answers to follow can shine a little light and prove to you why I deserve the win and can contradict your preceding thoughts! Thanks so much GL!

I can give you guys vote by vote info but I figured I'd give that to you through questions instead of my opening statement

Hey guys, I'm going to start off with the cliches... Cedric, fucking awesome game. I fucking LOVE Harry Potter so to see Chamber of Secrets unfold throughout an ORG is actually incredible, I'm so excited to be apart of it and so excited to see what the future will hold based off the other books. Hermione, thank you for always being there to tag team, and to the few PWs that rooted for me thanks.

I'd also like to do the cliche thing and thank all of you, I started this game with the intention to strictly play as Draco. I wanted to play like Draco, I wanted to act like Joffrey + Draco and I think I did that pretty well in the beginning, I think because of that I was a little apprehensive to be approached... but then once we were formed into tribes, it was really, really easy (unfortunately) to stop and drop character.

The cast was so much fun and despite dropping character, I still wanted to play "like" Draco... I grew close with both Weasley's, Pomfrey and Rita on the first tribe I spent time with and before you knew it we swapped!

I was lucky to have Fred with me and gained new allies in Maxime and Mira with an easy boot of Dudley (of which we later formed an alliance of 4), but the round prior to Dudley's I was concerned about what would happen. It was so early and Hagrid and Dumbedore were such easy boots, I wasn't positive what people would do, if tribal lines were real. Lily was on a tribe with a disadvantage 4-1 and Pomfrey was also in the same boat. That round Rita, Snape and I got to talk to one another despite being on different tribes, we all decided to "expelliarmus" but Rita and I, being from the same tribe and after getting along so well we, decided that I should choose Avada Kedava so that they can go to tribal council and vote out Lily.... well that didn't work and it ended up being okay, despite missing an ally in Rita, I gained a friend in Lily.

By the second swap, I was reunited with Mirabella and Ron. Newt and I had anticipated and eagerly awaited joining tribes and had talked about an alliance for awhile so finally we were placed on one! Gilderoy and I had been friendly, but never had to express much about gameplay until that round, Snape was seemingly bitter about besting him in the challenge where I did "Avada Kedava" and our rapport was pretty much saying which is the more badass Slytherin. (Which was me) and Amos, who I had never really talked to! Ron and I had bonded about Rita since we were both taken back and surprised by Lockhart's decision, and with Snape targeting a close ally, Mira, and barely talking with Amos... my intentions were pretty clear cut simple.

I think I started out the game strong and while I dwindled on vote accuracy, my game was incredibly clear cut and straight. If you weren't on a prior tribe with me... chances are you didn't want to work with me... and if I voted against you (Amos) chances are, you didn't want to work with me. I still am not entirely sure why I was left out in the Newt vote... I wouldn't have voted for Newt, but I didn't think it made much sense to tell me Amos when no one else voted for him, it could've saved Newt....

But despite that, I had my friends and buddies and they weren't all friends in buddies to each other.... so my goal was to get those buddies and friends far, so that they could then take out each other instead of me. Once Cormac and I were titled the hardest to talk to, I was initially upset, I recently got a new job 8-6, I live Mountain Time, and my father was recently diagnosed with a health issue that will not get better, so I took it a little harsh, I was able to talk to both Cormac and Fred about how real life issues can come up and be difficult but I loved this game and loved the people so I never wanted or thought to stop.

I loved this game because it was so personal, in the sense that everyone was so friendly and genuine... I loved playing as Draco but I loved even more that you all made me decide not to be the bad boy and was able to break down the alias, even though I kept it up.

I'm incredibly proud of the game I played, I don't mind that I didn't vote accurately, I think it shows that I was an individual (APART FROM THE 1ST FRED VOTE) I may have been given misinformation but there were plenty of times that I voted against majority because it was the right thing to do. But ultimately I think I started out strong, I was targeted through out merge because I seemed like an easier "goat" boot and it ultimately worked to my advantage.

I worked hard with both Ron and Mirabella and each of you in some way to get to where I am, I won't deny there are flaws to my game but I sincerely enjoyed my time with all of you. And am ready for any questions you guys have, I realize this is already longer than I'd like it to be and only scrapes the surface of the game and relationships we've built but I've got to leave some room for questions. I've got nothing to hide and really look forward to hear what you all have to say.

I'm going to say thank you to EVERYONE one more time and also wish the other finalists Ron and Mirabella goodluck <3
