Who: Society and paying guests (tag yourself in)
What: Fundraiser for the Children's Legal Aid and Mentoring Society (CLAMS), organized by the Old Wizarding Literary Society (OWLS)
When: Friday evening 29 March
Where: Clarinda Macmillan Avery Arts Centre at WADA
Warnings: Probably going to be some bigoted talk but none expected beyond that.

The Clarinda Macmillan Avery Arts Centre is the premiere theatre at WADA and also contains a large reception area. Tonight it has been laid out with food and drink for those enjoying the evening. The premiere events tonight are a performance by Celestina Warbeck for her many fans and an auction for goods and services donated by patrons and businesses--including a chance to eat dinner with Celestina Warbeck.

Tonight's benefit was organized by the witches and gentlewizards of the Old Wizarding Literary Society in support of the Children's Legal Aid and Mentorship Society, a charity that provides legal support, educational funding, and mentoring to children impacted by Death Eater attacks. All ticket funds and auction proceeds will go to that good work. Goods and services used at the event were promoted by individuals and vendors.

The theatre will be used to host the concert and auction, and the food and drink will be laid out in the lobby and reception area. The music will be broadcast in the reception area during the concert and there will be additional music by WADA musicians and alumni during the auction.

In addition there are outside areas for smoking and the WADA gardens for more private meetings and discussions.

VOLUNTEER SLOTS

Rodolphus Lestrange & [Volunteer 2] get into a bidding war over a desirable prize in the auction. (Date with Celestina Warbeck? Art item? Private dinner catered by wizarding Britain's best chef and his house elves? You decide!)
Tairith Burke may have overindulged slightly in the champagne punch and is talking about throwing certain people into Azkaban very loudly, leading Rabastan Lestrange to take them outside to get some fresh air for their own good.
[Volunteer 5] disappears briefly in the middle of the event and returns looking a bit worse for wear. Were they spying or having some quality private time with a secret friend? Who knows?
[Volunteer 6] is extremely enthusiastic about getting an autograph from Celestina Warbeck and is sent off by her security. [Volunteer 7] gets an autograph for them anyhow.
Lucius Malfoy crosses party and political lines to ask Lily Potter to dance in the reception area. Shocking! Expect your name to be in the gossip columns tomorrow.

	Arrivals may find themselves on the red carpet for photographs if they're the right sort of people. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Fortunately, neither Claire not her husband are quite that degree of The Right Sort: Claire is Sacred Twenty-eight, certainly, and Augustus is...friendly...with many of that sort, but the pair of them are rather too retiring for red carpets. They arrive to little fanfare, just as she likes it, and make the rounds of their friends and colleagues as far away from cameras as they can get.

	Rabastan shows up in a reasonable facsimile of son-of-the-Sacred-28, only bringing the dress code into slight disrepute, but at least looking more cheerful and engaged than sullen and dragged-along. Perhaps that's because he has the lovely Clarissa Gamp on his arm. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Clarissa would have come anyway- her parents are here too, it's an Event- but it's certainly more fun as Rabastan's date. She's getting red carpet photos taken if it's the last thing she does, and she looks fabulous in them., and if there's a michevious sparkle in her eye, it's only because donating to this particular cause is a bit hilarious.

	Narcissa and Lucius arrive in royal splendour. They are, of course, exactly the right sort of people to be on the rad carpet. Narcissa gives the WWN and several other outlets interviews about the donors and the donations, leaving Lucius to talk about the goodness of CLAMS and ICLE and his mother's foundation.

	Fabian has to walk the red carpet because he's here with Laurentia Fletwock as arm candy. (She's older than he is and also his boss' niece.) He is properly dressed and had a recent haircut because his parents are around here somewhere and he doesn't need another howler from Mum, so he's looking good. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Florrie is accompanying her brother MG, the quidditch player, to this event, so she can't evade the red carpet. She just accepts it as a thing that happens sometimes and lets him shepherd her through the press line and the photographers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James and Lily came, but avoided the red carpet HARD, like they've been avoiding the media in general since Godric's Hollow. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Gideon Prewett arrived early, before the Warbeck concert started. He was with French Seeker Cybèle Peltier, whose dress was in the bright pink colors of her years with Quiberon's Seven. His parents had arranged it, and he was perfectly happy to allow her to be in the spotlight. (Reply to this) (Parent)
