Cornelius watched the happy children wander around Hogsmeade. He decided to come on a weekend that he knew was a Hogsmeade weekend for the students. It might be a bit rowdy, but Cornelius wanted to observe them.

These children were the future of the Wizarding world. They were the ones who would be forced to make a difference. It didn't hurt they would also help decide future Ministers of Magic. It was never too early to start earning votes and gain some public favor with them. Who knows? Maybe they'd tell their parents that they liked Cornelius as the Minister.
