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.

While the concert was entertaining and the auction was for an incredible cause, both in which James opted to lightly participate in, it was the mingling in the reception hall that intrigued him the most. He had avoided the food but opted for a few drinks of something strong to take the edge off. Social events had been his parent's world more so than his own, but times have changed and he had a knack for being able to fake it until he made it. Which came in handy when he felt any lingering eyes. He made sure to keep Lily close, or within his peripherals, while he kept his eyes and ears open for anything interesting in passing. Whispers, rumors, gossip, suspicions. He was curious what the temperature of the crowd was and nosey enough to find out what topics weighted on elitist tongues. In doing so he had gotten roped into conversation and introductions a few times, and he engaged politely for a few moments before breaking away in a timely manner to resume his observations. He did well to avoid names with big reputations as he didn't trust himself enough to keep his sarcasm to a minimum. As a result, he ended up sticking close to friends most of the night. He even suckered Lily into a dance or two with the emphasis that just because they were drinking and dancing that this didn't count as a date night.

	Oh thank goodness people Florrie knows, hello James, hello Lily, please rescue me and if you want to take me for a turn round the dance floor, that would be great. Have you seen those women glare at me for talking to my own brother? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wonderful to see Florrie, and she is obviously very welcome to come and chat with them and hide from scary quidditch groupies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As part of his dancing diplomacy, Rodolphus is sure that he makes it around to Narcissa. "There is quite the turn out this evening, with the potential for quite a lot of money to be raised. It might be premature, but I am hopeful we'll garner some good coverage in the days to follow. And of course, you look lovely as always." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fabian was out and about and glad-handing, like a good solicitor. He definitely spent enough time with Laur to qualify as a good escort but asked a lot of other ladies to dance, and like his public politics, his line of dance offers was such that it was hard to tell who he favoured other than the woman he arrived with.
