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.

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..."

The look of surprise all over her mother's face felt so good. While this hadn't been how she wanted to tell her mother, she hadn't been able to help herself. Relief flooded her as Uncle Hyperion stepped up to her mother. She felt the tears springing to her eyes, and she was already so overwhelmed. "I'm going home now," she murmured softly, turning her attention back to Miguel. "Please." All she wanted right then was to curl up in his arms and hide from the world.

Meanwhile, Zahara was leaning into her own fiance, wasn't that weird? She nodded at his words, then again for her daughter. The couple were gone before she could blink, apparating in front of them. "This is the worst mistake," she whispered, tears springing to her own eyes.

"Perhaps, my love, but that's the most exhausting part of parenting, isn't it? We've just got to stand by and let them make their own mistakes. And sometimes those mistakes surprise us into not being mistakes at all," Hyperion said sagely, shifting Zahara in his arms so he could envelope her in a hug. "I caught Kenzie smoking some horribly skunky weed a little bit ago," he admitted, hoping to give his fiancé the momentary distraction to compartmentalize her anger and fear.


Miguel nodded and apparated them away, not bothering to wait for her mother's reaction. He didn't take her to her flat, though. No, he brought her to his, apparating them to his living room. "Wait right here," he said, leaning in to brush his lips over hers briefly before he darted into his bedroom closet. He pulled a box down from a high shelf, then got a smaller blue velvet box from it. After slipping the bigger box back up on the shelf, he went back out to the living room.

"I know it seemed to come from nowhere, but you are the love of my life, Celestina," he started when he reached her again. "I bought this ring for you a long time ago, and I kept it even after everything happened because I always hoped we would find our way back to each other. I want nothing more than to spend my life with you, to grow old with you, to build a family and home with you." Miguel dropped to one knee and opened the ring box. "I know I already asked but... Will you marry me?"

It was hard enough to clear her mind so that they could apparate, and so the second they landed her tears started down her cheeks. Her head bobbed in a nod when he asked her to wait there, and she did just that.

She was still crying softly when he came back, and for a fraction of a second she seemed to stop crying as he spoke. The tears were fresh and new however when he got down to one knee, Tina was certain she couldn't breathe. Her head just quickly bobbed up and down, hands already reaching for him. "Please," she begged softly, he was all she wanted right then. "I don't want to wait," she admitted then, her breathing just slightly labored from the all the tears.

When she nodded again, Miguel stood up and swept her in his arms, smile stretching from ear to ear as he spun her around. "Then we won't wait!" he replied as he set her back on her feet. He knew of a little place where they could circumvent the ministry notice requirement and four week waiting period, after all, and it didn't require international travel.

"We can go now, if you want! Is this what you want to wear?" he asked, casting an appreciative gaze down her body.

Tina let out a watery happy laugh as he spun her, arms tightening around him. They wouldn't wait, she felt a thousand pounds lifting from her chest just hearing him say that. She started to wonder just how long they'd wait, when he mentioned that they could go now. Did she want that?

The look he was giving her made her feel all fluttery and on fire, her own gaze turning to her dress as well. "I love this dress, I'd say it's rather fitting," she admitted, laughing nervously at herself. "Okay, just... I need to summon something, two seconds," she told him, stealing a quick kiss from him. She slipped off to the loo for privacy, while she summoned the lingerie she had picked up recently to surprise him with next date night, and slipped into it. Was she really doing this? Was she really going to get married tonight? Tina checked herself in the mirror, once redressed, and she felt her heart race. Yes, she was definitely doing this, she decided. She loved Miguel, he was her soulmate. There was nothing else in this world that she wanted more than that. Except maybe... no, just that.

"It's perfect," he agreed warmly, dark eyes still lit with the thrill of everything that had happened tonight. Barely a month ago, he'd been sure that Tina would never want anything to do with him again, and yet they'd found their way back together, and tonight, he would make her his wife. It was everything he'd never dared to hope for.

He fidgeted while she was in the other room, pacing and bouncing a bit, and when she finally returned, he was struck with just how stunning she was. She hadn't changed a thing, and yet she looked different. His heart stuttered in his chest, flutters rippling low in his belly. Smiling widely at her, he took her hand, bringing it up to press his lips against her palm. And, with one small nod, he apparated them both away, more than ready to become her husband.
