~*Ron's Answer to Maxime*~
Ron. I do enjoy you a lot. I do not think you’re a floater. However, you benefited from the initial label of that. You rose above it, I believe, but Mira had to play as much defense as you got to play offense and still had as flashy a game. Letting her and Pomfrey to the F4. What were your struggles in this game? I don’t think I can award the vote to someone blessed with an initial perception of impotence
Thank you Maxime. Thank you for seeing more in me then just a floater!
My struggle started early in this game. I felt like during the Albus/Hagrid votes I was making some good friends in Lockhart/Pomfrey but no specific alliances were ever formed. Just social bonds of people I was ideally going to work with in the future. I grew close to Draco/Fred/Cormac/Rita around this time as well. During the swap I was put on a tribe with Lockhart/Cormac/Rita/Lily. Cormac ended up not doing the challenge/Cormac was petrified. The obvious thing was a Lily vote with the two people who were active from my original team. Regardless of how nice Lily was. I was blindsided when Lily had a double vote, Lockhart voted for Rita..and I was alone. Newt was coming onto the tribe. I felt super small, and alone. The only potential in my eyes was Cormac and at that point, I was even doubting my ability to have him. What if he knew all along too? I kept telling myself.
I made it to the next tribe swap and it brings us to the the Snape vote. This was another struggle for me. I was alone on this tribe. Draco seemed close to Mira at this point, I couldn’t trust Newt—was he apart of Rita leaving too? I had Lockhart on this tribe saying it was an accident, and he was still with me. I wanted to trust that, but how could I?
Snape/Amos were new people for me, I didn’t know what to expect. I expected to go home in 13th place when we lost that challenge.
I worked on social bonds with Mira. I worked on bringing out a bond again with Draco. I worked on getting to know Snape.

I regret asking |
Cut to Snape making a chat with Draco/Lockhart/Myself about getting rid of Mira’s idol, and: Getting rid of Mira.
I chose to stick with what Draco/I wanted to do for ourselves. We had a good middle ground of Snape/Lockhart on one side, and Mira/Newt on another—the middle(my favorite spot) I felt like I wasn’t on the outs, I was avoiding the target because of bigger players to get rid of. The plan was Lockhart/Draco/Myself to vote for Amos. Newt/Mira to vote for Snape.
Little did I know, Lockhart had more tricks. With Snape unable to vote, He voted Mira with Amos. It was a 2-2-2 vote tie, Amos used the idol. And it became Snape vs Mira in the revote.
Now, the reason I am telling you my pre-merge game is to highlight something I have not talked about yet. I was not in a majority, or had major alliances to anyone pre-merge. I had nothing serious that was going to extend beyond a vote. I was lied to by Lockhart 2 times, both Rita and Snape votes. (He was suppose to vote Lily&Amos with me)
I was entering the merge with the potential of bonds with Mira/Draco/Newt, and the history from rounds earlier with people I didn’t know where they were at. I started the merge at a complete disadvantage number wise. I had to work to bond again with Cormac/Fred/Pomfrey—ended up mostly being Fred/Pomfrey to get back into a “middle” zone and play people off each other each round to get what I needed to have happen.
I needed the bigger players out, the unreliable ones from my game(Lockhart, Angelina, Amos, yourself at a point). It was to gain control. A control I never had until the merge. So I don’t think I was always “safe” in this game. I put myself in a safe spot in merge after being on the outs constantly/betrayed by Lockhart (I wasn’t going to let him get me a 3rd time, that is what I kept telling myself).
So I do ask and beg for you to vote for me Maxime.
I beg all the jurors to see the way I played and hope to find some respect in it.
*Mira and Draco were not behind your exit, Maxime. It was Pomfrey, myself and Fred in the middle. Talking to Angelina, comparing notes. Mira did not know until the very end of that voting period.
*Mira wanted Pomfrey out in our chat, as you wanted Fred out--I brought up voting out Lockhart as a solid vote and the reasons why it made sense when I put everything out there for you/Mira.
*Angelina left because Pomfrey/Fred/I noticed the amount of control she potentially had over Lily/Amos, and we weren't even sure about Draco/Cormac at this point. They both seemed to love her as well! How would we get ourselves to a good spot in the Final 4/Final 5 with Angelina around. They are going to love her more then us!
*Amos was a good player, Lily was a good player. However, neither provided me with a lot of confidence going into the end game. It wasn't like I had a solid final 3 deal with them and anyone else. It made the most sense to get rid of them, if they were not in my legit plans for the end game.
*I made it to the Final 6, the Final 6 that I wanted--because everyone in that Final 6 had want to go to the end with me. They were trusting me as part of their deal. I came into a full circle situation from pre-merge of having no alliance, no allies watching me. To having 5 allies, potentials finalists with me.
I played a great game, and was behind many of the boots that occurred this merge game. I had more control and influence over who left then Draco and Mira put together. I hope that is seen, and I hope that is taken into account when you look about voting for the winner.
Thanks! And please ask me more questions if needed. Or If I am confusing, anyone out there that wants something more answered! Thank you for reading this too.
