An evening out in the Wizarding world was a little rarer than in the Muggle world but Penny had always had a soft spot for the Quidditch Gala. It was a very good way for her to get her face out in public, a reminder that this particular bookworm didn't spend all of her time in the stacks.

She stood, a little away from the crowd, sipping on her glass of champagne and drinking in the - admittedly very pink tinged - atmosphere.
