Claudia couldn't believe how fast time was going. It only seemed like yesterday when she decided to run for Minister of Magic, and now the elections were getting close. So far, she felt confident about her campaign. During the debates she had been able to talk about her vision, and she felt like she had been clear and firm in her beliefs. But she also knew she couldn't rely on the debates alone. Since the start of the election campaign, she hadn't taken the time to talk to the people and spread information. Now seemed like a good time. Since it was the holidays, she knew she would be able to talk to students of Hogwarts as well, some of which would be old enough to vote. Young wizards and witches were the future, so she found it important to speak to them as well. It had been a little harder to leave for work today because her daughters were all home from school. But she knew she would spend Christmas with them, and today James was looking out for them now. When she had left, the five of them had been playing a board game at the kitchen table. She was glad James was there for their daughters when she was busy, and had no doubt they would have a good time. Claudia had set up a table with a stack of flyers, putting up a few posters as well to indicate this was part of her campaign. Together with some of her volunteers she handed out flyers with her viewpoints on them, glad to be able to spread them like this. Sometimes in the debates the focus seemed to move to one subject in particular, so hopefully her flyers would give some people a more broad overview of what she believed in. Poster ![]() Text for readability [ooc]Please feel free to grab a flyer or rp Claudia's team handing one to you. You can also react to the points and talk to her. This is set during the holidays, so students are welcome (and encouraged!) to reply. & Thanks to Rowan for helping me with the wording of the flyer[/ooc] |

[justify]Victoire had finished work for the day and had decided to spend the time helping Claudia. She walked to where the woman said she would be. The woman had thoroughly enjoyed the little pockets of campaigning that Victoire was doing in her spare time. It was something to do, a way to make the world improve because she truly believed in the candidate. The ministry worker smiled at the candidate as she took the leaflets, "Thanks," Victoire knew that all of this would help her when she eventually had her own campaign. She held out the leaflets and attempted to hand them to the people as they passed, encouraging them to vote Holland as they did so. [/justify] |

[justify]Colin, ever ready to help in Claudia's campaign, had decided to forgo another day at home to spend his time handing out flyers. Winnie had returned for the holidays and as a result Colin had volunteered a little less recently compared to the amount of time he usually spent helping his friend with her campaign, but that day after catching up with his daughter he decided it would be alright to leave home for a few hours. With Winnie's mother ever persistent about their daughter's grades and appearance in school it was a relief to have some form of a distraction and focus on something else for a little while. Smiling politely at the people that walked past, Colin handed out flyers to anyone who was willing to accept them. Aside from the debates, Colin believed talking to potential voters in person and handing out flyers was imperative to getting Claudia's message across, and he was happy to help with that for as long as it was needed.

Traveling with an almost two year old was no easy feat. Eris wanted to get into everything, and even after an hour in the park, she was still a ball of energy, managing to swipe a flyer from the table when Alana walked too near it. She had been trying to avoid the people out in front of the table, but of course, Eris had managed to grab it. Alana only managed to get it out of her grip right before she succeeded in eating it. As her daughter began shrieking at the loss of her new 'toy,' Alana stepped backwards, attempting to put the now crumpled paper back on the table. "I'm so sorry" the young woman stated, clearly embarrassed. She easily recognized one of the candidates and even recognized one other, Victoire Fontaine, who'd been Head Girl a couple of years ahead of her. She didn't think anyone would recognize her as Ioan Finch's daughter, but she didn't want the woman thinking that had been done on purpose. Her father didn't need to resort to such tactics to best anyone else's campaign. As her daughter continued to shriek, Alana rummaged in her bag for a toy to pacify the child. |

[justify]It was times like this that Bee was so glad she lived in New Zealand, because now she could dedicate her break time to helping Mrs. Holland with her campaign. Truthfully Bee felt the woman had the competition in the bag, but she supposed it was still too early to tell so they couldn't get complacent just yet. Bee showed up at the designated meeting spot with the rest of the campaign party and smiled at them all in greeting before taking a few flyers of her own and passing them out. She was clearly the youngest on the team but she liked that because she hoped her helping out and backing Claudia would convince others her age that she was the right person to vote for. The young voters were the ones who were the most vulnerable because they didn't have much experience in voting so they still had a chance in forming and changing opinions while they were still pliable. While they were passing out fliers, Bee decided to take a less passive approach to the campaign and cleared her throat to speak up. "Don't pass up this opportunity to ask a Ministry candidate any questions you want answered in person! Don't wait until the next debate!" Bee said boldly. Truthfully she didn't know if Claudia would be okay with what she just did, but she thought it might be a good way to get others to at the very least stop by and talk policies. As Bee turned back around she saw one of the former head girl's with a toddler that looked to be hers? and Bee couldn't help but smile at the woman. Though she was mostly smiling because Victoire was also part of the campaign party and now that made it three head girls in the vicinity, though Bee didn't know how to bring that up so she didn't mention it just yet.
