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.

He rolled his eyes, but the smile was still present on his face. “Ironically, I wasn’t mad about it,” he commented with a lazy lift of his brow. Mainly because the passion the woman held for patient confidentiality reassured him of her knowledge of Remus’ condition. However he’d be lying if he said he didn’t respect the spitfire.

James’ eyes settled on Lily, admiring her for a moment until her face contorted into that of thought. His own features frowned softly in curiosity as he processed what she said. “Interesting...” he eventually said. He tapped his glass with the pad of a finger that held it. A tick revealing his thought process. A sense of doubt colored his features and he shook his head shortly. “Dunno about that, Sirius and I are politically nothing. You’d be more politically important than any of us.,” he stated and shifted closer to her idly. He took another sip of his drink. “That’s a good thing,” he reminded with a gentle nudge of his elbow to hers,

Lily gave James a smile, grateful and fond all in one. "Well, we can think about it more later." And with input from the others. That was the whole point of being in the Order, after all; they didn't have to do this all by themselves. Didn't have to think of everything. Weren't alone. "For now, I'd like to finish this, and then I quite fancy the idea of a dance with a chap that I actually like." Her smile widened, as she added whimsically, "Though I don't know where I could possibly find one of those."

He nodded in both acceptance and agreement of Lily's words. They could think more about it later and even dissect it to a million pieces later. For now, things have been eventful enough for one night, and there was no reason to continue that trend further. They should simply try and enjoy the rest of the gala and the rest of the night as a whole.

The corners of his mouth curled up more and more slowly into a smile on his face. "Ooooooh," he commented with a peering gaze in her direction. "I don't think you'll find any of those here. Have you seen this crowd?" he played along with a look of mock pity on his face. "Guess you'll have to settle with me," he added.

	Lily hummed thoughtfully, though her lingering fond smile ruined any real pretense. "Well, I suppose you'll do." She tucked her fingers into the lapels of his formal robes, and tugged them a little closer together. "Just this once, of course. Don't go getting used to it or anything."

The continuation merited a wider grin to form on James' face. The kind that he couldn't stifle even if he wanted to articulate a fake sense of hurt. The pull closer that she gave also may have had something to do with that smile. He sat his glass on the nearby table and wrapped both arms around her waist to both lock in that closeness and remove what little lingering distance was between of them. "Now you're just being unrealistic," he stated with a tsk. "I've already gotten used to it."
