Word of mouth had somehow managed to reach the ears of one Nathaniel Greenwood that, apparently, there was free fish and chips being dished out in the Leaky Cauldron in a bid to bribe gullible members of the public to vote for Brennan Cooper.

Now Nathan was passing the pub deliberating with the idea of getting a wee firewhiskey before he toddled off home to the family to prepare dinner for them, when the smell freshly fried chips hit his oddly shaped nostrils with such force as to stop him dead in his tracks. He breathed in deeply and his stomach growled in response. That was all the sign he needed. Nothing like a plate of fish and chips to wash down the big bowl of ice-cream he had just consumed at Raegan Taylor's campaign conference, eh? He opened the door and went inside. This was open to all the public, right? Meaning it was quite acceptable for Nathan to be here. Even if he was part of Miss Taylor's advertising team. Besides, he worked for the Daily Prophet and he had his trusty ID right there in the inside pocket of his jacket – he could be here working for all these people knew.

It was rather nice in the private parlour - much cosier than then main bar area, he thought to himself as he made his way over to the food he had got a whiff off from outside. He eyed it all, his eyes wide like a kid in a chocolate factory. Just look at all that cake! Brennan certainly knew what he was doing here.. even if he knew little about politics.

Just as he thought that, said man wandered in and Nathan had to to hide the sudden feeling of guilt which washed over him. Bah.. the man's speech might be so genius it swayed Nathan's vote – heh – perhaps not.

Shrugging, he happily helped himself to a large piece of chocolate cake. His ears pricked when he heard firewhiskey mentioned not too far away from where he was standing. He wandered over to the nice lady serving. Is the drink free too? Hmm.. only one way to find out. “Erm.. could I have a large firewhiskey please, love?” He asked her politely, a sheepish smile on his face. These people had no idea he was just here for the food and drink, right. Right.
