ACAB | REP +# | QUIDDITCH INDUSTRY

What: National Team Try Out Celebration
Who: Thom hosting for those who tried out, their friends/families, and folks in/adjacent to the Quidditch industry
Cost: N/A
Where: Puddlemere Stadium
Why: Quidditch parties are his thing.
When: Tuesday April 7th following try-outs

The Puddlemere pitch will be converted into a huge outdoor party mere minutes after the last chasers have landed, with large white tents housing food and drink, dining tables, a dance area, and a game tent complete with mini Quidditch and cards and things. Games won will award tickets not actual money.

Beneath the stands in that concession/ lobby area will be lifesize replicas of each player who tried out (think like cardboard cutouts but magical so they can smile and wave and stuff) each atop a pillar, the size of which is meant to represent their odds of making the team. Guests can exchange tickets to grow or shrink the pillars of a particular player.

Food is free and so are the first two drinks; additional drinks can be purchased with tickets or acquired from the VIP rooms, below.

Thom's private box and a few adjacent ones will be set aside for "VIPs," which generally includes sponsors and their guests so that genteel UC folks don't have to socialize too much with the rabble (though they may if they choose).

There are no planned activities in the stands themselves so people interested in getting into trouble may head that way, but be careful- most of the stands are visible from the pitch since that's, you know, the point of sitting there.

UCAB + MCAB | REP +7 | DINNER + GAMES

What: A Holiday Dine-In
Who: Mrs. Daphnel to host; intimate (50ish guests) gathering of respectable UC/Upper MC folks
Where: The Daphnel Estate in Wellingtonshire
Why: Mrs. Daphnel's only daughter is set to debut this season but, as the rumor goes, has said no more than fifteen words to anyone during her entire Hogwarts school career. In an effort to introduce her more gently to both eligible gentleman and advantageous members of British society, Mrs. Daphnel orchestrated this party where her daughter will be more or less forced to socialize.
When: 4 April

A formal dinner will be followed by a game of cards. No dancing or anything like that because Miss Daphnel's nerves might not be able to handle so much excitement in one evening.

"It was a simple game, played against one opponent where each had their own deck of cards and the object was to get to the bottom as quickly as possible. In order to keep things interesting, the hosts had created a twist: after the game began, the tables magically rotated every few minutes to change the partners. Since that changed the cards in play as well, it was meant to make the game more difficult and prolong the match" (and therefore prolong Miss Daphnel's forcible exposure to her guests).

ACAB | ANY REP | PARK PICNIC

What: Boozy Picnic in the Park
Who: Everyone! And well-advertised for best turnout.
Where: Padmore Park
Why: Promoting Product~
When: Easter Sunday (April 5th)

As a play on the story of the Loaves and the Fishes, Jewell Distillery is serving free cheap food (crackers, fried potato wedges, etc) which will be transformed into something wonderfully flavorful after you try a sip of their new liquor, which is designed to delight your taste buds both while drinking and for hours afterwards by adjusting food to your particular pallet. The idea is that after a free sample of the liquor (available to anyone regardless of age because #VEalcoholism) you'll have a veritable feast. The liquor will also taste different to different people and should be pleasant for everyone.

Bottles of both the new liquor and their other product lines will be available for sale. Since the flavor-changing liquor is new, there's a small but not insignificant chance your character might have an adverse reaction to it, such as having everything taste terrible for the next forty-eight hours after drinking, losing their sense of taste entirely for some period of time, or having their tongue swell up to the point where speech is impaired.

Cost: Does this have a cost? If so, explain. If not, leave as N/A.
Where: A Large magical Yacht on the Black Lake (bigger on the inside), it is an ornate galleon style ship festooned with multicoloured bunting, multicoloured sails and lights. There will be circus performers. acrobats. and silk dancers entertaining the crowds, and people on stilts serving drinks and such.

A Ball where the dancefloor has optical illusions on it, and the inside of the ship has floors on different levels like an M.C. Escher painting, any staircase will get you where you need to go, but when looking at it it will be trippy.
There will also circus/carnival games.

UCAB + MCAB| REP +# | MUSEUM EASTER BALL

What: The Museum of Magical Miscellany's Easter Ball
Who: Hosted by Fortuna Bixby in the name of the Museum of Magical Miscellany and Temperance Fairchild in the name of the Church of Magical Jesus. Invited are all UC/well-off MC wizards and witches, patrons of the museum and it's employees.
Where: The Museum of Magical Miscellany, London
Why: Rich people shenanigans, art, fundraising
When: April 15th, evening/nighttime

The Museum of Magical Miscellany is hosting an Easter Ball to commemorate the holiday. For this year's ball, we have teamed up with the Church of Magical Jesus and, next to a fundraiser gala (proceeds will go towards the museum), a new exhibition by the title of The Church of Magical Jesus: A Retrospective of Wizarding Britain's Most Prominent Bridge to Christianity will be unveiled by Temperance Fairchild. While there will be bouncers at the museum's entrance to ensure nobody not fitting the bill doesn't make it inside the museum, that doesn't mean you couldn't possibly slip past in, say, an invisibility cloak or if you were an Animagus... But do so at your own peril, as we reserve the right to treat you as an intruder should you enter the museum without permission on that day and be discovered.

UCAB + MCAB| REP +7 | EASTER BRUNCH

What: An Enchanted Easter Brunch: Croquet and Egg Hunt
Who: Hosted by Evalina Rosier for UC/MC folk with a rep of 7+! Kids and adults alike!
Cost: Donations
Where: Ravenwood Manor, London England
Why: For Easter
When: Easter Sunday (April 5th)

ARRIVAL: What are normally the iron gates of Ravenwood Manor have been replaced by a curtain of greenery and pastel flowers that part when guests arrive. The curtain goes all the way down the main drive and parts to let the carriages through. Guests may pluck various flowers from the greenery which then turn into tiny little eggs. The gifted eggs hatch as the afternoon comes to a close and reveal small trinkets such as rings, seeds to plant in the garden, pocket watches, etc.
ADULT'S FESTIVITIES: There are various lawn activities spread out over the grounds. Guests may participate in lawn tennis, croquet and archery. Upon participation, they may realize, however, that their equipment seems to have minds of their own! Croquet balls are transfigured to look like animals and scurry away from their owners (they are clearly made out of croquet ball material though so as to not make it seem like the hostess condones animal cruelty). The same for tennis balls and the tips of arrows, which are transfigured to look like bird's beaks. Think the croquet scene from Alice in Wonderland.
CHILDREN'S FESTIVITIES: There would not be an Easter party without an egg hunt! The catch? The eggs sprout legs once you spot them and run away! Whats more is once they run into a flower garden, the flowers will spray you and the eggs with puffs of colored (temporary) pigment! Guests can tell who's been in the enchanted flower garden by the bright pastel colors on their garments.
FOOD: A traditional Easter brunch will be served to tables scattered throughout the grounds.

SEE CLASS & REP BELOW | SWAN LAKE BALL

What: Swan Lake Ball on the Lake
Who: Hosted by Camilla Zabini Invited are:
- UCPBs rep 6+
- UCHBs rep 8+, or 7+ with at least one pureblood parent
- MCPBs rep 8+, and any relatives of Calliope, she guesses
- If you're not included here but are reasonably friendly with a Zabini child, you got an invite
Cost:
Where: A magically floating pavilion on The Black Lake
Why: Camilla likes to spend her father's money and realized that an event that lets her dress entirely in white may make people think 'marriage.'
When: Evening of April 18th

- The music is Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake
- The edge of the pavilion is technically roped off, but, like, you could fall in
- Yes, Camilla rented swans for this
- There are 'Russian' cocktails available again, because Swan Lake, but think 'what English people think is Russian' vs. actual Russian

UCAB/MCAB | SEE BELOW | HOSPITAL BALL

What: Seventh Annual Hippocrates Ball
Who: Hosted by the London Society of the Healing Arts. See extras for attendees!
Where: Destiny Hotel, London
Why: $$$
When: April 30th

COME ONE, COME ALL! Each year, the London Society of the Healing Arts organizes a fundraiser—while the majority of the funds are issued to St Mungo's, a donation is also made to each of Hogsmeade Hospital and Irvingly Infirmary.

Tickets are 1G4s each, opening the guest list to:

MC individuals pay level four or better
Anyone MC with someone pay level three or better willing to purchase a ticket for them (usually a parent, sibling, or spouse).
Any member of the UC who isn't hanging on to that status by a thread
All medical staff (nurses, mediwizards, healers) at the aforementioned institutions will have a ticket comped for them, regardless of class

(All male guests should be 17+/not at Hogwarts, and all female guests should be "out")

This year's theme is Atlantis, and so there will be charmed, clockwork sea creatures floating about the room, seafood canapes, and your character will instinctively feel however they do when near the ocean. Instead of flutes, charmed bubbles will deliver champagne, punch, and brandy to the guests.

SEE BELOW | QUIDDITCH INDUSTRY

What: QWC Roster Celebration / Esteban Zavala's Captain Celebration Party
Who: Thom hosting. QWC players (first and second string*) are invited and can each invite 3 guests. Current Puddlemere players not on the roster are invited and can invite 1 guest. All guests should be human adults unless you've otherwise cleared it with Thom.

Other sponsors can come if you're reasonably friendly with Thom, but you get no guests unless you're married in which case your spouse gets to tag along.

*Including Art, he guesses.
Where: Puddlemere United clubhouse
Why: Zavala got Captain and he wants to celebrate ~~and rub it in Art's face~~
When: 13 April, evening (after completion of normal games for that day)

Free food/booze and general Quidditch antics. Thom will probably pressure Esteban to make a speech at some point. A member of the press or two will be invited as well so they can put a dashing photo of Esteban in the sports section of the Prophet.
