WHO: Everyone! IC/OC
WHEN: Thursday, 21 December 1999
WHERE: The Manor House, Macmillan Park
SUMMARY: Mid-Season (Christmas) Party hosted by the Montrose Magpies at Macmillan Park, cocktail dresses and blazers suggested.
RATING: Low

The Macmillan Family welcomes you to to Macmillan Park for the Mid-Season Yule party for all of Scottish Quidditch (and then some).

The Manor House is decorated for the season, with each room on the first floor having a display of its own. The public areas of the garden are also decorated and kept at a comfortable temperature (as long as you are wearing a cloak) with plenty of warming charms. Christmas crackers are available on all of the tables for all of your paper crown and terrible joke needs.

Finger foods and drinks (alcoholic and non) are plentiful. Eggnog can be made either way and if you want a hot chocolate with a splash of whisky, nobody is going to bat an eye. Entertainment is provided by the Tomnahurich Quartet and the Calanais Singers throughout the night in the main hall. A selection of seasonal songs in the muggle and wizarding traditions were planned, but both groups will take requests. They will be performing both together and separately.

For any children who joined their parents in the festivities, they have their own party going on upstairs in the rarely-used nursery (think very large and extensive playroom with bedrooms nearby and a schooling area). There are kid friendly foods, including sandwiches, personal pizzas in seasonal shapes, a Hot Chocolate Bar, and cherry flavored fizzy drinks. There are, of course, plenty of sweets to be had as well.

	Take in a bit of fresh air. Just be aware of the mistletoe! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ernie feeling awkward at both the dancing section and the listening party, is frequently out in the garden, drinking champagne slowly out of a flute and giving his concentration a break (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aureliana sought him out at one point with a plate of nibbles she'd know he would enjoy. She's not checking up on him, but she's totally checking up on him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Telling me not to worry is a waste of breath and we both know it." She resists the urge to ask him if he wants hot chocolate as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Later in the evening, when Georgi has worked off some of that liquor and needs a break from the crowd and the dancing, he spots Ernie heading outside and doesn't think too hard before following him out to the garden. He touches his shoulder when he catches up, smiling over at him. "Hi, Ernie. You see, I told you I'll find you again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ernie jumps about a foot and manages to spill half a glass of champagne on himself at the contact. Red from the cold/drinking/embarrassment (who can tell!?), he smiles. "Hi. Yes. Yes you did. Sorry - you just surprised me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, no, cъжалявам," Georgi says immediately, completely mortified, "sorry, here--" He pulls out his wand to get Ernie dry with a quick charm, and casts a warming charm at the same time because he looks chilly. "I'm sorry, you didn't hear me come, I should not have... you're okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As far as Maddock is concerned, he'd be happy being stuck on the naughty list for the rest of his life. By their standards, nice is just not worth it. Somehow Maddock still had the Santa Hat. At the shoulder tap, and call for pause he looked back up with a questioning look. "Hey. What's up?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
