Characters: Entire Wizarding World
Setting: May 2. Wizarding Museum of History. 7:30pm-2:00am
Summary: The War Memorial and Victory Ball.

The Ministry had been host to the War Memorial and Victory ball since the the year following You-Know-Who's defeat in 1998. Every year the memorial service was held at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where many lost their lives during the final battle. Then later in the evening on May the seconds a Victory Ball was held in honour of Harry Potter and all those who fought at The Wizarding Museum of History on Diagon Alley.

The 2004 event was just like those that had come before it. The only difference was that with every year there seemed to be an additional ounce of class and formality added to it. Those who attended were usually in attendance to save face and to rub elbows with their social superiors. There were many reason to have attended that didn't exactly come with "celebration," however there were some civilians who gladly attended for the simple fact that it was a party. It was one of the largest gatherings of the year.

Entry Way

The entrance to the Museum was designed in beautiful marble and gold. There were a few photographers from local magazines looking to snap photographs of famous attendees and high society individuals. They sat idle as common folks filtered through the large metal doors in their choice in evening attire. There was a buzz of people present and a distant sound of wizarding music being played through invisible speakers to match the sounds being played in the main hall beyond.

Main Hall & Dance Floor

The main hall of the Museum was decked in the annual victory decor. A large dance floor was in place in the middle of the space and tables surrounded the outlying walls for guests to claim for their own. There was a stage near the front where the occasional Ministry official and Minister Kingsly would address the guests in the occasional welcome speech and announcement. There was an orchestral band complete to the right of the stage complete with every instrument known to wizarding kind. They played everything from popular music on the wireless to traditional waltzes and even a few wizarding jigs that only older members of the party would remember.

Michael Corner & Open

Michael Corner was dressed in a classic black tux with baby blue accents and a tie that gradually changed colour every hour. Anthony, Terry, and Himself had made it a habit to prepare for the victory ball every year complete with an all man shopping outing to tux and dress robe renters. Needless to say Corner wasn't the biggest fan to the idea of buying formal attire of his own. He liked changing it up every year...renting made more sense.

It was a night that promised many a good laugh and certainly a few memorable dance numbers. The boys had made it a habit to attend the function every year not only out of service but...it was one of the better parties of the year.

Having arrived about half an hour before with Terry, Anthony, Morag, and Sophia the group had managed to find a table to claim as their home base for the evening. Michael had stepped out to the washroom a moment and upon his return found the table practically empty save for a few spare belongings that clearly proved the table was occupied. Michael gave the dance floor a scan assuming the other four had managed to give dancing a try. He couldn't recognize anyone to be honest...

Michael paused a moment and took the liberty to drink down a glass of champaign that was sitting idle on the table. He absently wondered where the rest of his party had gone off to when someone patted him on the back and he turned to see who it was.

	There was a large buffet display in an adjoining hall that catered all types of elegant foods and delicate treats to tickle taste buds. There was also an open bar for those of age complete with a bartender and a choice in flavourful drinks ranging in soft and hard liquor. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Connected to the main hall was an open terrace where a few escaped for fresh air and a quiet word. Chairs accompanied the large marble pillars for those interested in sitting. Weather charms placed on the space kept the temperature a cool yet breezy comfort that rivaled the heat crowd with in and the chill of rain outside. (Reply to this) (Thread)
