Order of Merlin Gala, 7.25pm @lucius-fn​

Head swimming with champagne and the gentle, pastel glow everything seemed to have taken on since he’d downed well past his public limit, it was really little wonder that Edgar wasn’t paying much attention to just where he was going. He’d been floating through conversations, feeling more like himself than he had since losing the election when his circuit of the room had brought him to a bottleneck in the crowd, the happily gushing revellers condensing his path into one, inevitable collision course. Lucius. 

Maybe if he was careful he could just circle around him and he wouldn’t even — bollocks. Edgar pulled up short, champagne flute held close to his chest as eye contact was made and their fate was sealed. They would have to talk. “Lucius,” his smile wavered and strained uneasily beneath the lull of the Bubble Juice before smoothing again, “I hope you’re enjoying the night.”

How do you feel about your competitors?

“My personal feelings about my fellow candidates aren’t really relevant to the campaign, are they? I won’t be the one voting after all. I’m sure that as the campaign continues we’ll have a great deal to say about one another, but I should hope we’ll have considerably more to say on the subject of our policies. 

If you insist, however.

Mr. Malfoy is a very astute man with a great deal of .. influence within his social circles. We have seen a great many of his particular type of candidate surface in the past and while, admittedly I’m unfamiliar with his specific qualifications as I have yet to have the pleasure of working with him, I’m sure he will prove to be a very lively candidate to watch going forward.

I have had the very particular pleasure of working in the Minister’s office with Madam Umbridge for the past three years and as such I know that she is a very intelligent and determined woman that it would be terribly unwise to underestimate. I am sure that she will prove to be a formidable candidate over the course of the election.

As for Miss Bagnold, we spent a few years working together in the Department of International Magical Co-Operation and I believe her to be one of the most driven and capable people that I know. I believe she will be a very worthy opponent and I wish her, and all my other fellow candidates, all the best.”

How do you feel about the two main candidates for Minister?

“Are the crows circling already? Lets not get ahead of ourselves, Minister Minchum is in a stable condition under the care of St. Mungo’s most talented Healers and we have the utmost confidence in his making a full recovery to live a long and very healthy life. 

As to the candidates who have put their names forward in the event of an election, personal feelings aside as to whether their timing was appropriate or not ..  I have only the deepest respect for Miss Bagnold, she is a very capable woman and I’ve been very impressed with her foreign policies and her work within the Ministry in the past. I think, were she to run, she would present a formidable opponent to anyone who opposed her and wish her only the best of luck. As for Mister Malfoy, I can’t say I am all too familiar with the policies he intends to run on, I imagine they could be quite polarising. His family’s reputation precedes him, however, and I would certainly keep a very close eye on his campaign. I’m sure he would have his fair share of supporters.

I will say that if an election were to be announced, you might be surprised by the names that may crop up in the race.”
