Ministry of Magic Award Ceremony & Ball
[Ministry of Magic, anybody and everybody, 5pm.]
The doors to the Ministry Ballroom opened at precisely 5pm, with a butler standing by the door and politely allowing anyone with an invite to enter and find their seats. The room comfortably fit 430 people. At either side of the ballroom sat the dinner buffets, and the dessert buffets would replace them at a later point in the night once everybody had eaten their fill of dinner. Minister Ponter stood off to the side, speaking with some other Ministry officials, as the guests began pouring in.
