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.

	Rabbit wanted to know, but this wasn't the setting for any sort of serious discussion with Rodolphus either. And he didn't particularly want to leave. Easier to just be distracted (or give a reasonable impersonation of it). "Really? Wait, not over that nonsense in the Prophet?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, Burke. And I asked her to dance to show no hard feelings--I know how these things go--and then she asked me for an off-the-record chat. Fortunately there's nothing to say. I love my nephews but how Molly would have time to do vigilante work between cookery, the chores she ought to have a house-elf for, and changing nappies is beyond me." Fabian snorted.

	"Maybe the assumption is that she already, obviously, has a time-turner, so a little crusading on the side is no big deal." Rabbit was taking this about as seriously as it deserved to be taken. Tairith had clearly been indulging herself there, though Rabbit was never going to call anyone else out on being indulgent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If she did, she ought to pass it to someone who bills by the hour," Fabian grumbled. "Anyroad, as long as they're fishing in empty pools, they're going to get nothing but old shoes and Muggle auto tyres." He took another sip of his drink and did not watch Rabbit too closely over the rim. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah well." Rabbit was just toying with his drink, sliding a finger around the rim. "Not like they can just go fishing anywhere they like, is it? Poor bastards, must be proper frustrating." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"If you expect actual sympathy for them from me, you're fishing in the wrong--oh bugger." There was Gideon, giving him the come-here look, and not the one that led to talking to a pretty girl, either. "Speaking of brothers and necessary conversations, apparently I'm due for one. Possibly Mum isn't happy about me coming with Laur Fletwock. She always gives generously and she gets great press, so they ought to be happy with her. We'll finish this conversation later?"

	"Sure," Rabbit said easily. "Pass on my regards," he added with a smirk; an open-ended offer for Fabian to do with as he would. (Reply to this) (Parent)
