The Hedge Witches' Society Spring Fete

The Fete

The Hedge Witches' Society is an ancient (pre-Statute) association of rural witches and the occasional wizard dedicated to the best of British hedge wizardry: creature and animal breeding, herbology and other plants, and home and craft magic such as practical potioneering, cookery, and similar homely witchery. They hold two festivals, in the Spring at Beltane (1 May) and in the Fall at Mabon (21 September).

The Spring Fete is to show off the spring-born creatures and animals as well as the work done over the winter and in the spring with flowers, herbs, potions, and cookery. Contests are held in all these areas. Mostly, however, it is a time to mingle and enjoy the excellent weather.

This year the Fete includes a contest in homely potions that will be judged by the famous Damocles Belby, a brilliant and eccentric creator who is rumoured to be working on a potion that will change the face of the wizarding world if he succeeds in his work.

VISUALS!

Volunteers! MG MCGONAGALL is bitten by a crup puppy and has to seek medical treatment.
LILY POTTER and VOLUNTEER 3 (DE) get into an argument about politics and ALICE TRAVERS has to separate them.
REMUS LUPIN and VOLUNTEER 6 are competing in one of the contests. Hard feelings ensue when one or the other wins. (Die roll, will be determined after volunteers selecte their contest.)
CLARISSA GAMP encounters a hedge witch granny who is convinced she saw a Death Eater.
VOLUNTEER 8 is a Belby fan and spends a lot of time following Belby around while he inspects the potions, exciting a lot of comment.

OOC NOTES

This event will take place in a wizarding area in Hampshire.
While the Potions contest is the big draw, and will bring all sorts of people to the event, there will be a lot of other things to do.
The event is kid-friendly, so bring the wee ones.
Thanks to Dee for helping me work this out!

⬦ Animal Pens: On the far end from the Hedge Maze are the pens of animals, including lots of baby creatures. Bring the kids because there's a petting zoo!

Lily and Severus

That is such a familiar gesture that it makes Severus smile, if only a little. He can't help it. Lily is very... demonstrative. Always has been. Like she can't think properly if she's not moving somehow. "Right," he allows, soft and almost sheepish. "Pepper, greenhouse two. I'll keep it in mind for later, when we've finished."

If he's disappointed that she's going to keep moving, he doesn't show it. He just dips his head, bringing his height down a fraction in an awkward nod that sort of hunches up and freezes there. "It was... nice to talk to you. Good luck." With the rest, with the contest. In general. It all applies.

	"You too," Lily returned, though she didn't specify whether that was the luck, on the nice-to-see-you, or both. One last parting smile, and she was stepping away, heading on to the next entrant to introduce herself. (Reply to this) (Parent)
