Which was becoming more and more difficult with each passing moment. Especially when he found the poster he was looking for in his bag and had nothing else to keep himself preoccupied.
Sitting up straight and with a large piece of stiff parchment folded in half on his lap, Charles turned to look at the man. "Good day," he greeted, offering his hand for a hand shake. "Charles Hollingberry, Carter Phillips' campaign manager."
This bloke was Mr. Vinteren's campaign manager, correct?
When had someone sat down next to him? He had specifically chosen this seat because of the vacancy of surrounding chairs. No matter, it was always beneficial to scope out other managers, even if it was only their mannerisms.
Grasping this man's hand briefly, Bjorn replied in a similarly curt manner.
"Bjorn Berg, managing Erik Vinteren." Yes, he would be watching this man. Every little motion could lead to a clue, a weakness.
SPOILER!!: Livia Frost

Eyeing the stage as things were finally getting started Livia only listened with half an ear to what the other woman was saying. Catching the last word she stood up from her seat and peered left and right as fast as a tennis player watching as match as she asked loudly "Where is the parade? I don’t see a PARADE. Is there a parade listed in the program?"
Then the DEBATE started!!
And a student presenter called all the candidates OLD! "How rude and disrespectful. Don’t they teach kids manners here?" She stated to those within earshot totally ignoring the shushing from the red-haired woman.
The first question of the debate was asked and when Atticus stood up to give his views on the topic Livia couldn’t really control what she was doing. One second she was sitting in her seat the next she stood on top of it jumping up and down to get a good view of Atticus. Clapping her hands loudly and enthusiastically when he finished her hand bag swung so hard that she heard how it HIT somebody sitting behind her.
OOOPS!!!!
Three rows up, Bjorn was distracted by a commotion. Turning his head, he noticed immediately who was responsible for the rude disruption. A satisfied smirk on his face, Bjorn glanced down once more to check that the vial of Babbling Beverage was still concealed.
Actually, it would be more prudent... Grasping his wand in his pocket, he performed a Vanishing spell nonverbally, sending the vial into nonbeing. Now no one could pin anything on him.
SPOILER!!: Vinteren. ERIK Vinteren.

I believe I vould bring a sense of worldliness and balance to the Board, being that I do not haff the bias of some who may be tied too closely to Hogwarts, but I do still haff the honest desire to see its students succeed. I vould give my heart and soul to make Hogwarts a safe, educational place for everyone who vanted to go here, and I think THAT is all the qualifications the Board needs. Fank you."
He nodded to show that he was finished with his answer, and then went back to looking out at the audience. Hopefully that had been sufficient.
Bjorn applauded with gusto after Erik finished his first reply. Concise, yet eloquent. He attempted to catch his candidate's eye and nod his approval. Yes, his candidate definitely had potential.
Unlike that Schirmer woman...
"Good heavens, she's babbling on and on, isn't she? What a load of nonsense, complete disregard for the time restraints," he said to Charles, yet loud enough for others to hear him.
