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..."

"Lots of bling. Lots of colors. Flash. You'd probably fit in, if this is your style," she added with a glint of laughter, the good kind, in her dark eyes. "Big ol' belt buckles, too. Can't forget those." She had a few of those herself, won at various competitions.

"Oooh yes, gotta show off the ink," she agreed. "Good ink always needs to be appreciated."

"I'm Rori, nice to meet ya," she said with an easy smile, taking his hand. Hers was rough and caloused from hard physical work. It was very obvious she had no idea who he was, in the grand scheme of things.

Albie laughed. A big belt buckle didn't sound to bad. Certainly a statement piece. Something like that would definitely raise a few eyebrows at the Leaky Cauldron.

He was always a little pleased when someone didn't recognise his name, a very good reason for using Albie instead of Albus. "You too. You're, er, not from around here?" That wasn't a local accent, though London was something of a melting pot. "Having a good evening?"

"Nope, what gave it away?" she joked, winking at him playfully. She wasn't flirting, not really, just having a really good time at this event. She really would have to tell Mrs. Nott how grateful she was for the ticket to come, she couldn't have afforded it all on her own. "I'm from the States, but I've moved here for a while at least. I'm an animal trainer, healer, blah blah I could bore everyone for ages." She rolled her eyes at herself.

"I am, yeah. Surprisingly. I don't really get to go to fancy stuff, but I work for the Notts and they were so generous to give me a ticket to come and enjoy myself. They're really great employers."

"Ah, just a gut feeling," Albie said with a grin. He shook his head a little, amused by her self-deprecation. "That's cool, though. I work at a pub, so you sound far more useful to have around than me."

The more Albie heard about the Notts, the more he liked them. This whole gala thing was pretty cool, even if it did mean his parents were selling themselves to the highest bidder. "Sounds really nice of them. My mum and dad always used to get invited to this sort of stuff, but I don't think I've been to anything like this since I was old enough to tell them I didn't want to go." Albie's resistance to being the perfect little Potter had started young, after all.
