When Bertrand Gauthier spoke with Albus in the Hospitality Suite, it was an awkward talk for both of them. Bertrand tried to convince Albus to support Haiti’s resolution; Albus was uninterested. Albus tried to weave a rainbow-coloured coat of pretty words to convince Bertrand to vote against the Australia-USA resolution; Bertrand replied with, "Why should not students in Britain learn as much magic to score high grades on their NEWTs as do students in Haiti? Do the students in Britain think they are better than everyone else, are they lazy, or are they stupid? Or are they all three?"
