LAYOUT OF THE GALA

Dining/seating There are 100 tables configured in a U-shape around a large dancefloor/stage.

Stage/dance floor The dance floor shrinks during presentations and the celebrity auction and expands during dinner and dancing.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

6:00 Welcome Pansy Nott welcomes all attendees, goes over the schedule for the evening, and explains the mission of the charity.

6:30 Dinner A four course meal appears intermittently over the half hour.

7:00 Orchestra/Dancing As the last course--dessert--is served, the orchestra picks up and the dance floor expands for dancing.

7:30 Celebrity Auction The music dims to a soft accent as Pansy Nott and Demo Finnigan-Thomas take the stage to begin the celebrity date auction.

8:30 Concert/Dancing Several musical guests begin performing, kicked off with a duet featuring Wes Carlisle and Violet Nott, and the dance floor expands.

10:00 Function Ends Pansy Nott takes the stage to announce the end of the silent auction. Results will be tallied and winners will receive their goods by 13 July. She announces the end of the gala, though the concert continues until midnight.

CELEBRITY AUCTION

Bid

Beau Rosier "To kick off our celebrity date auction is our favorite child actor all grown up! Beau Rosier first caught our eye as a cheeky lad on WeeVee's Merlin-under-Hangtree, but he's certainly proved himself a man of many talents, coming in second last year in the reality competition Let's Dance. I know I can't wait to see what role he takes on next! And so, I'd love to cast the opening bid at thirty galleons..."

Blaise Zabini "Our next celebrity hardly needs an introduction, but I do so love talking about him. Blaise Zabini, owner and editor of the Daily Prophet and perpetual bachelor, has set many a heart a-flutter, though none have managed to usurp the love he has for the paper. Win the bid for a date with him, and perhaps you'll have that special something he can't resist..."

Gareth Wagtail "Although our next celebrity is best known for a drunken fly over a muggle village last winter, Gareth Wagtail is a fantastic retired Chaser and current trainer for the Montrose Magpies. Outbid everyone else for a date with him, and I'd bet you'll be in for a wild ride..."

Gavin Montgomery "The Montrose Magpies have taken the league by storm this season with the help of our next celebrity. Gavin Montgomery, one of the best Beaters we've seen on the pitch since Cooper Reynolds' days on a broom, has quite the reputation of disappointing anyone who wants to snare his attention for more than a night, but just imagine all that intensity focused on only you for that single night! Who will start the bidding..."

Ginny Weasley "Everyone knows our favorite red-headed spitfire war hero! Ginny Weasley is Harpies Chaser turned Daily Prophet sports writer and editor, but don't be fooled. A desk job has done nothing to tame the spunk out of her, and a little birdie tells me she's hoping you lovely ladies will join in the bidding for a date with her..."

Harry Potter "I think you'll all agree that heartbroken is not a good look for our most famous of celebrities. Harry Potter, Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, is single and ready to mingle again--at least for a good cause. So ladies, here he is, get him with the winning bid..."

Rachel Turpin-Davies "Our next celebrity is up and coming Holyhead Harpies Chaser, Rachel Turpin-Davis. Quick as a snitch with an instinct for banter, the only thing this flying ace chases is the Quaffle, so you better keep up, cause she won't be chasing you..."

Thad Nott "We do love our Magpies, don't we? Next up is Montrose Magpies Seeker, and my second son, Thad Nott. I know, I know, him being my son doesn't make him famous, but his impressive flying and seeking certainly does! Don't let his bachelor reputation fool you, his dad and I have raised him to appreciate and value relationships, and don't those usually start with a first date? Who will start the bidding..."

Victoire Weasley "If you find it almost impossible to look away from our next stunning celebrity, that's because Victoire Weasley is part veela via the Delacour family and a world-renowned fashion model. Although she enjoys the jet set life, she's no Beauxbaton airhead. Fluent in several languages and quick-witted, you'll think you're in love by the end of the night..."

Wes Carlisle "Our final celebrity of the night has been charming us through the radio and on the stage for a decade. Wes Carlisle relishes sensuality and luxury, and is sure to show the woman--or man--who wins a date with him the best of times. I'm told there may even be a private concert in it for the lucky bidder. And if you're particularly clever, maybe you'll get a sneak peak at this new project Wes has hinted at..."

Wes enjoyed the rubbing shoulders part of events like this as much as strutting about on the stage while attendees bid on a date with him. It didn't even matter who'd won the auction--he'd make sure it was a good time regardless of the winner. He also quite enjoyed being on stage with Violet again, and he definitely intended to find out if she wanted to go home at the end of the night. And if she didn't, well, he certainly had ideas of how he could entertain himself.

And there was one such piece of that idea, he thought, smirking as he turned toward Penny. "Well, hello Miss Ahuja," he murmured, eyes taking in every delectable inch of her as she spun for him. "I think I have a very good eye," he answered, setting his drink down and giving her his full attention.

"It fits perfectly," she admitted, wanting to go into details about just how well it fit each of her curves, instead she had other ideas. "You can't truly appreciate it however until you've had the pleasure of dancing with me. Would you do me the honor?" There was a rush that sent her heart racing at the thought, excitement over what the night had in store for her.

Mmm, yes indeed it did. Approval radiated in his eyes. "I'll appreciate it more once it's on my floor," he hummed, eyes taking in her body again for a long moment before lifting to meet her gaze again.

"But I did give it to you on the condition you would dance with me tonight." He lifted one hand, flicking his wrist around to check the time. "I have about a half hour before I'm due back on stage. Shall we?" he asked, holding his hand out to her.

Her dark orbs lifted to meet his gaze at his words, echoing her own thoughts. "I bet it'll look best there," she agreed, a nice warm pleasurable feeling rushing over her. He was hitting her praise kink, and she was enjoying every second of it.

Petite hand reached out to take his, bobbing her head. "Let's, it'd be a shame if you didn't get to enjoy me before going back on," she hummed happily, leading the way out to the dance floor. Penny was already moving to the beat, her movements causing the fabric of the skirt to move exposing more of her caramel colored legs.

Without another word, Wes tugged Penny's hand, trying his best not to be completely distracted by those delectable curves swaying to the beat of the music. And when she turned toward him, his hands went to her waist, lifting her up and spinning her around before letting her back to her heeled feet.

And then he danced with her in that completely uninhibited way Wes had always had, not caring who saw or what they might think. Let them speculate and talk--he enjoyed the attention, after all. As one song melded into another, he was oblivious to the passage of time, caught up in the way their bodies moved together, enjoying the crush of gyrating bodies around them.

So caught up in it all was he that he was surprised when the music dimmed and Mrs. Nott stood on the stage to announce the end of the silent auction and, therefore, the gala, though the concert would continue a couple hours longer. With a sigh, he caught Penny's hand again, raising it to brush his lips over her knuckles, keeping his eyes on hers. "Alas, my dear, that's my cue to return to the stage."

When she wasn't angry at him over something ridiculous, he had a way of making her completely forget where she was. He entranced her on the dance floor with the way he moved, the uninhibited nature to his moves calling to her. It reminded her of when she'd go dancing with Phoenix, which filled her with a sense of warmth, that helped her give herself over to the music.

Her body moved with his, moving with each silent cue, and pressing close when the moment deemed necessary. When the music dimmed, and she was made to come back to reality, she looked a bit stunned. Dark orbs were alight with a hedonistic glow, lips slightly parted as she caught her breath, and her long locks a bit of a mess. Penny wasn't allowing herself to think. The petite brunette stood on tip toe then, she had been tall enough without needing to, but it was an excuse to press her free hand against his chest. "If you find yourself free later, I'm sure Phoenix would enjoy seeing you again," she murmured into his ear, as pressing a kiss to his cheek.

She was a bloody temptress, and Wes was not a man known to refuse temptation, at least when it wouldn't get him into serious legal trouble that his money and reputation couldn't get him out of.

Dark eyes hooded at the thoughts she put in his head with mentioning Phoenix, who he'd quite enjoyed after that card game, and he couldn't help but wonder if it were about time he hosted an orgy again. It had been too long, and somehow he rather thought some of the newer people he'd connected with might quite enjoy it. "If not tonight, I'll be in touch," he promised, dark eyes taking her in for a moment longer before he turned to head back to the stage.

	Penny had goosebumps from that look, unable to hide her grin. The look said it all, he was thinking about sex. Her head bobbed in a nod, tempted (ridiculously, in her opinion) to blow him a kiss, but instead she just watched him slip off back to the stage. "I should find Phoenix," she murmured to herself, before leaving to do just that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
