Who: Dean and open! (Narcissa or Todd?)
What: Dean is doing portraits. Or caricatures.
When: Sunday evening
Where: Diagon Alley
Rating: PG-ish, depending on how angry the subject of the caricature gets about it...

Dean had been having a good day--a lucrative one. He'd set himself up, with his easel and his wall of samples, a ways down the road, near Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. He figured that the sort of person who went down that way was also the sort of person who would enjoy a caricature, and so far his guess had paid off. Of course, it also helped that one of the escaped Death Eaters had recently been captured, and the mood of the shoppers had lightened.

It was for that reason that he was still out there, even as the sun lowered toward the horizon. He knew he should head home--who knew what the numbers of still-at-large Death Eaters were like--but there were still shoppers on the street, and still a chance to profit from one of the things he loved. He offered passers-by hopeful, friendly smiles, his pencil poised.

Who: Dean and open
What: Coffee break!
When: Monday afternoon
Where: Ministry of Magic
Rating: G

The Department of Magical Games and Sports was not very busy lately. There were no major tournaments for a few more months, and no recent trade laws had come down affecting sports equipment. It was a small department, but lately it seemed smaller than usual. Normally, Dean spent the times when he didn't have anything to do either sketching or chatting with the others in the department (usually some good-natured arguing about Quidditch teams), but today he was feeling restless. It bothered him that they weren't hearing anything--still--about the breakouts from Akzaban, and he just wanted to stretch his legs.

So he headed down to the Atrium to get a cup of coffee. On the way there he greeted a number of people, there was some quiet as he walked down the long hall, and then he arrived at the coffee kiosk, where several people were gathered. "Hey, how's it going?" he greeted the nearest as he got his cup of coffee.

Summer Gala Event [Open to all]

Who: Everybody
What: Summer Gala
When: June 19, 2000; 9pm
Where: The Grand Wizard Hotel Ballroom, Diagon Alley
Rating: PG-13
Status: Incomplete.

The candles were lit. The music was playing, the ministry had opted for a DJ as the r.s.v.p. list seemed to be on the young side. It was all for fun. Tables were set with hors d'oeuvres, charmed to maintain the perfect temperature. Bars were at either end of the room, ready with a full selection of spirits, beer and wine. The event organizer looked around with a satisfied smile. Now all they needed were guests.

Notes: If your characters leave the ballroom, start a new post and remember, not everyone can be fashionably late!
