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 a twirl around the dance floor with a partner or two (or more).



[Suggestion from Ginger: If there's going to be dancing, I suggest something I have recently seen be very successful: Dancing section with each dance being 3+3 comments for the couple. Short and sweet and encourages people to get around.]

Mel is here for dancing and will do courtesy turns with lady guests. This is not disco; it's actual waltzing and such, and he went to the same lessons as the rest of his peers. He will not step on your feet.

Kal wouldn't mind a dance, if he's offering. She apologizes ahead of time for her dancing skills, though, as her only formal lessons were before the Yule Ball while she was at Hogwarts.

At some point in the evening, Ainsley steels herself and excuses herself from Fraser's side to ask Mel to dance. Of course, she leads with an apology. "I'm so sorry about the other morning. My head wasn't exactly on right, and I promise you that I really do know who you are. I don't normally offer marriage proposals to blokes who cook me breakfast."

Georgi doesn't mind dancing with any of the ladies. He's a consummate big brother type and tries to notice if any of the women look like they're waiting to be asked, and will go and ask them despite his shyness. He's of the old-style pureblood school of dancing and doesn't know anything more recent than the waltz. He can dance a lovely minuet and an energetic mazurka, though.

Kal actually feels comfortable with Georgi after all of their practice (and knows that he's shy), so she wanders over at some point and asks if he'd like to dance.

Peggy is here to dance. Better than listening to a silly quidditch race. Also she knows a lot of these people and they can distract her from her troubles without her needing to gets blitzed.

Georgi, who's had Peggy pointed out to him as an Urquhart daughter, approaches her when they're both between dance partners to introduce himself and very courteously and properly ask for a dance.

Alasdair is a smooth and graceful dancer, and he's not fussy about ages either! Ada has some of his evening, but not all, and definitely circulates among the people he knows.

Who wants to dance with this suave Scot?

Alec straightens his outfit out and dives into the dancing. These sorts of parties are more hobnobbing around than fun and he accepts that. At least he knows how to dance and can safely promise anyone who does with him will leave with their feet safe!

Dunbar, looking all dapper, is available for dancing. It's probably noticeable though that he only ever asks a few people outright to dance, and mostly seen agreeing to dance when he's asked.

But he does have fancy dancing skills

If people are still dancing when Ro gets there then he'll drift in that direction for a while. He's out of place in this setting, but he does remember the waltz from the Yule Ball. If you can stop him being a Darcy and get him to dance that'd be good going.

Fraser led Ainsley into the dance parlor, arriving just as the music ended. They passed several couples leaving the floor and found space where they could move without too many neighbors.

Fraser was a good dancer, and good at making sure his partner was both enjoying herself and showing off her own talents.
