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.

"Merlin, I'll be on my feet until the morning," he laughs, and will fully admit it wouldn't be the first time. To be honest he's decided to come in here on a light mood. Yes it's a bunch of terrible purebloods pretending they care about charity but no reason we can't help their wallets bleed a little, only people who win out of us being miserable is them. And he'll be damned if he gives them any more of that power.

Yes James, you've got to start the littles early, it's very reasonable. And maybe it'll start good habits and steer tiny Harry towards the position more fun than just chaser (he has to poke fun). Sorry ladies, if they dissolve into quid nerd talk.

James will give MG an ultimatum. On his feet until morning or sharing the stories of past times when he was on his feet until morning. Either choice provides merriment and entertainment which makes this Gala officially enjoyable.

Shots are fired! James can't even be mad at the chaser comment, because it was delivered so beautifully. He accepts this with jest. MG turned into James' official justification to get Harry on a broom asap. Be on the lookout for Lily wrath in the future.

MG sips thoughtfully and pretends to weigh his options before grinning. "Depends how this party goes doesn't it? It seems a bit too stuffy but oftentimes those are the fun ones. But so you're not empty handed in case this place disappoints...I'll give you half the story of the time the Magpies partied with the Braga Broomfleet and ended up waking up on a beach somewhere in the Azores, covered in oyster shells." He puts an arm around James to give him a friendly pat on the shoulder. "But don't feel too bad about missing the other half...we don't remember it either."

Flying is an excellent life skill, Lily!
