Ministry Gala Event!
Characters: OPEN TO ALL. Please tag with your own character(s) when you comment/they arrive.
Setting: The Ministry Atrium, Level 8, beginning at 7 PM and running until midnight
Summary: It's the Halloween ministry gala/party! Come in costume (muggle or otherwise), in elegant wear, or in dress robes. The event begins at 7PM with refreshments, appetizers, finger foods and cocktails. Desserts are served later in the evening, but the cocktails remain available all night long. There is no full dinner, as it would be quite unwieldy with the amount of people expected to attend. The dance floor is open, a live band is playing, and the atmosphere is almost aggressively pleasant. For safety reasons, wands are being checked (surrendered) at the entrances. Unless your character is on-duty at the party, he or she will not have her wand on his/her person after entering.
Rating: Let's go with R for now, as there will be some dark occurrences later in the evening. We will update as necessary.

The event coordinators at the Ministry of Magic were in fine form in the hours leading up to the start of the gala. Everything had to be perfect, and not just in appearances. The atrium had been decorated in gold and silver, slightly reflective, to capture light and brighten the large, spacious room. The band was in place by 6:30, playing quiet music that set the mood. Off to either side, slightly out of the way, were two cocktail tables, fully stocked. There was also a number of wait staff who would be walking around with trays of red or white wine as well as champagne.

The attention to the decor was due to the head events coordinator, one Ismay Plimpton, who was an absolute perfectionist. With attention down to the very last detail, she was very nearly driving the Minister mad with her questions and comments, not to mention crucial changes. Her voice and general looks had Kingsley Shacklebolt nearly thinking her related to Delores Umbridge, if Ismay weren't so remarkably pleasant and likable.

With his assurance that everything was just fine, Ismay hurried off, gently but firmly reprimanding some poor chap setting candles afloat too low for her liking. The ceiling above twinkled like night stars, and between that, the candles, and the reflective decorations, the room was perfectly lit.

Everything was ready. All they needed now were the guests.

Justin had been enjoying the atmosphere - wonderful people in interesting outfits, excellent drinks and food... It was the perfect place to go to forget about the events of the week and just be. He'd been doing his fair share of mingling, as well as passing out a few leis in the hope of a few lays, but as always, his eyes strayed to the edges of the room, always attentive to the people that seemed to prefer to blend into the background. He didn't know why, but he'd always been drawn to them, wanting to bring them out of the shadows and into the light with the rest of the people in the room.

Not to mention that the quiet ones tended to be wild in the sack.

He spotted a pretty little ladybug in a corner and his interest was immediately piqued. He left his emptied wine glass on a nearby table and strode through the crowd, intent on his target. As he approached, he removed one of the leis from his neck and smiled widely.

"Excuse me," he flirted as he came within reaching distance. "Would you like a lei?"

	Justin smirked, her moving reminding him of Jasper's earlier that evening. He lifted the lei and, single-handedly, slipped it over her head and around her neck. He then reached down for her hand and took a step back, tugging on her hand to follow. "Come, we can dance, and tell a little story of our own." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Justin's smile widened into a grin as the young lady's identity was revealed. "I knew I knew that voice," he said, "but I just couldn't place it." He didn't let go of her at all, in fact drew her closer into a cross between a dancing hold and a hug. "I'm glad to see I didn't have to come drag you here tonight. You've been keeping busy?"

	Justin didn't waste any time. The moment the subtle assent was given, he moved in with a gentle yet passionate kiss to her lips. Their dancing slowed as he nearly stopped, only just waving in time to the music. His hands slid to her waist, thumbs massaging circles against her dress as he pulled her closer still.

	"Ah, not allowed to fraternize when on the clock then," Justin teased, taking back the half-step and leaning in to place a kiss on Bianca's neck. "Just let me know when you're done. We can maybe head back to my place, continue the party there..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
