Erica had put her name down for candidacy cautiously. She knew she was perfectly capable and she had the right quantity of experience but still that didn’t help the slight nervousness that hid in the pit of her stomach as she headed towards the Leaky Cauldron. The blonde always appeared a confident, strong woman whenever she spoke to someone. Despite her four-foot-eleven stature she held her airs and graces and she never let others intimidate her. That was how she was hoping to stand today. To appear friendly and gracious but ever the leader that she was. To not be arrogant or cocky yet portray all her successes in her body language and speech. Erica wanted this but judging by the standards of many of the candidates she was entirely unsure of how much of a chance she really had. A former Professor? He would be popular amongst the mothers. An old man whom had worked in a ministry setting for longer years than she had lived? The competition was tough and she had to try her hardest. For herself and for her children.
She took a deep inward breath as she stood outside the public house before stepping over the threshold with a smile on her face. Not too cheesy but not appearing fake or false either. She was dressed in a brown tunic to her knees, her coat was wrapped around her although she removed it and placed it in an appropriate spot before continuing on. Her accessories appeared to reflect her former school house but that was entirely unintentional on her behalf, they just happened to be colours that suited her. There was a buffet on one side and a podium she assumed for the candidates to voice their starting matters. The venue was already starting to fill up and she wove her way in an out of the seats and groups of people to find someone of interest.
Or someone who wanted to talk to her.
She picked up a drink almost immediately and took a gracious sip from the beverage. Not bad. The Leaky Cauldron did always like to impress, didn’t it? She did not even spare a glance at the food yet. That would be kept until later. Her attention was drawn instead to the man salivating over the delicacies on offer. “You appear as if you’d like to devour that entire plate” she chuckled approaching him from behind. “Go ahead, I’m sure no one is stopping you.” Or judging. Maybe a few were’ judging’, the MLE lot especially.
