Apparently she wasn't the only one to come to this conclusion either. She sent her fellow candidate a quick friendly wave before focusing back on the task at hand: toppings. On one hand, the queso blanco looked really good. But then, so did the spicy jalapeño. Both could also be an option, though. Hmm....
What a conundrum. Quote:

This election already had SO MANY fun perks.
Grabbing a plate of nachos and piling them high don't judge it's been ages since he's had nachos ok he noticed two of his...competitors? Was that the right word? Whatever, they were already there, and he happened to know both of them! Josephina and Nolan went way back to the Hufflepuff days and then taught at Hogwarts together, and he knew Roxanne from her days as a department head. As he continued to add condiments to his nachos to the point where they were more salsa than nacho, he grinned at the two ladies and gave them a wave. "Roxanne, Josephina, or should I say fellow candidates," he greeted them with a chuckle. "How have you two been?! Ready to get this circus underway?" he asked. Because let's be real - that's what this whole thing was about to become. He'd been in an election before, and at one point during that whole debacle, he'd been DUNKED in a DUNK TANK. He could only imagine what challenges the run for the highest office in the British Wizarding Ministry would throw at them...
He couldn't WAIT. Quote:

Everything had worked out in the end and she was very happy where she was in life, which of course was why she hadn't even thought about running. When her husband had come to her saying he was running she couldn't have been more proud.
Now she was here to support her husband and her friend. Jorge was a good friend and she found humor in the two men running against each other. This was going to be some fun dinner dates between the four of them at some point. She knew they were adults and would be fair towards each other. She noticed Roxanne the minute she walked into the food area and smiled. She wasn't surprised to see her running again. Turning her attention to the food she went over and filled a plate before looking at the rest of them. "Hello everyone." And as she feared, just as she shoved a chip dripping with cheesy awesomeness into her mouth, some people had found their way over to the food area. Chewing quickly as she can, she wiped her lips as she noted it was just a fellow candidate, one she recalled as having ran for election previously. Giving her a return wave, she returned back to finishing chewing as someone else came... another she recognized as a candidate and former colleague, even. "Nolan Reynolds! Why hello! How have you been?" Politely she reached forward toward him to awkwardly give him a half-hug while careful not to jostle the plates of nachos either were holding.
Because even if they were running against each other, they were colleagues and former housemates, even. So politeness between them was just understood and honestly, though she wanted the title for herself, she would be more than thrilled if she was beat by Nolan.
And another person entering, whom she recognized only because she knew her husband. "Hello, hello. Do you have questions or concerns for us candidates?" Fina asked of Victoria. Because even though she was by the food, she was still more than happy to answer questions. SPOILER!!: The Hubby Quote:

So he would be the dutiful trophy husband as she came out to greet the people with her fellow candidates. With or without the act of actually bowling given the location chosen for the event.
A step or more behind Josephina due to a last minute top off at Gringotts down the street, he found his other half easy enough. By the food. With two repeat candida---no, only one was trying again he corrected himself and a man that might have gobe to school with them. The other had swapped places with her own husband. “Good evening,” he greeted those gathered while siding up beside his wife. Josephina turned around at hearing a familiar voice beside her and beamed at sight of her hubby. She wasn't sure he was going to be able to make it to her first event, but here he was!!! Supporting her as he said he would, as he always has done! "You made it!" Fina grinned, as she took a chip from her plate and zoomed it towards his mouth. What could she say? She couldn't resist the urge to feed him and she was sure he totally approved of it; or at least was used to it by now! "Here. Hold this," she handed him her plate of nachos as she disappeared off to go mingle some more.
