We ate lunch in the Boston Commons again after the Live PotterCast. The event after lunch was another that I was really looking forward to. It was a Model UN, in which we had to decide what to do with the Death Eaters after the war. Everyone got to choose a character, and we were allowed to be characters that had died. Therefore, I was Remus Lupin. One of my friends was Sirius Black and my brother was Severus Snape.
It was really funny because my friend was sitting in between my brother and I and she and him kept giving these subtle digs to each other that were so in character. The two of them were so good at it. My friend has done Model UNs before, but neither my brother or I have.
In every argument my brother made, he was trying to convince everyone he was only a Death Eater to be a spy for the good side and how he didn’t want the criteria for Death Eater accusations to be whether a person had a Dark Mark or not. He kept pushing for Veritaserum (truth potion) to be used to figure out who was really a Death Eater and who wasn’t.
In the end, that passed. We agreed that the Death Eater should be given prison sentences and then slowly reintegrated into society. I believe we also agreed that some Death Eaters should receive life sentences or death sentences.
The girl who played Cornelius Fudge was also really good. She kept talking about Fudge’s future campaigns for Minister and how there hadn’t even been a war in the first place, that Harry Potter just made the whole thing up. The whole thing was just hysterical. I’d love to do it again and I hope they have it at the next LeakyCon.
