Ellory thinks that it's great Claude's birthday is in summer, because that makes celebrating it all more fun!
She was allowed to use The Rookery and, thankfully, that meant that her more sensible female relatives would help her with the planning — AKA, tell her that no, she can't bring weird magical creatures.
What she was allowed to do, was borrow unicorns (babies and not) from some unicorn sanctuary. People from the sanctuary/magizoologists will be in attendance to make sure the animals don't receive any maltreatment and to answer guest questions.
The party will be held out of doors, on the vast grounds. There will be a dancefloor, charmed butterflies that will serve as lanterns and generally a fairy-tale esque summer vibe. Think something like this.
There will be many secret dark spots the further you go from the main dancefloor ;)
Ellory's present to Claudius will also be an egg of a rare species of dragon and she also paid good money for it to hatch, by hiring a Dragon breeding specialist. This dragon will then be taken to some dragon breeding sanctuary because even Ellory knows they can't keep it around Wellingtonshire.
ALSO, guests will be encouraged to make donations to unicorn and dragon sanctuaries.
