Halloween Gala - Open to All! for the 31st



Henry had shaken more hands tonight than he had in his entire career as a quidditch agent. It seemed like everyone was in agreement; the charity was a great idea and this fundraiser was turning out to be a huge success. Henry was the first to turn the talk to his brother, telling those who approached him that Seth was the mind behind it all, but apparently his brother had been boasting the exact opposite, and Henry was receiving praise he didn't normally receive.

It could really make a bloke feel like a million galleons, to tell you the truth.

Standing at a corner of the dance floor to get a good view of things, Henry felt someone slink particularly close to him and he smiled down at his glowing girlfriend. While it had taken Henry about a week to be able to talk normally without a stutter after Heidi had revealed the news, he was now brimming with pride in just about all aspects of his life.

"Are you having a good time?" he asked, putting a hand to her lower back. Henry had been scolded to not fret as much, so he refrained from asking if she was tired and needed to sit, or go home! He'd go home if she wished. "The band should be starting up again soon."

Violet knew that it was cliche to dress herself up in a maid outfit, but -- well, sometimes she enjoyed attention from men, all right? She spent so much time at work trying to get people to take her seriously that she barely felt like she had time to breathe -- and it wasn't as if the costume was actually that revealing. She had the body of a hitwizard and she was going to show it off, damnit.

She tugged at one of the pigtails she was wearing and glanced around the room, wondering if she'd spot anyone that she knew. She was sure that Axe was going to be here, at least, and maybe another familiar face or two if she was lucky. She wandered over to the punch and picked up a glass full of the stuff, half-leaning over the cup to give it an experimental sniff. Well, it smelled all right...

"Now eh, you can't be a French maid without the accent," Charlie said, his Irish brogue coming out in full force because of his latest drink. He'd lost count as he'd been taking shots with every successful target Axe had hit.

His mask gave him a much needed night of anonymity. If he wasn't in the gym working out, he was at the bar, drinking in. Charlie's life had become quidditch and the pub, and while it was dizzying most days, at least tonight he was allowed to be a fool without anyone complaining too much about it.

"Go on, let me hear it," he took a swig of his own drink, pointing his glass at her, "I hang around a real life Frenchmen, I've got a good ear for this."

Aha, what was this? A very drunk gentleman, apparently -- and an Irish one, at that (unless he was the one very good at faking accents). She let one corner of her mouth quirk up into a smirk and lifted the feather duster she'd brought along from its little holster on her hip (it was actually her wand, modified for the evening).

"Is zat so?" She let the exaggerated accent that her mother had picked up from all of the other snobbish housewives slide past her lips easily, "then you are in luck, because I am a real life Frenchwoman!" There were many Frenchmen even just in London and the rest of Europe -- no need to assume that he knew any of her friends. It was nice to know that very few people here would actually recognize her -- it helped her relax, which was sometimes a ... problem.

"Have I convinced you that I am the genuine article?" She crossed her arms over her chest, aware of the effect the action would have on her admittedly modest bosom. "Or does the gentleman require further demonstration?" Merlin, she knew she sounded foolish, but it wasn't as if anyone else was in the area to hear...

Oh. So she was French. Charlie had not been expecting that, and he slowly grinned at her questions. Well, well then. He'd had his Irish girls, his British, Welsh, and Scottish. German too, could now be checked off the list. If he continued at this current rate, he'd have all of Europe covered by new year.

"I am deeply impressed by your accent," and assests. Charlie shifted to a more comfortable position on the bar and waved his drink at her, "Though further demonstration could really make my night."

What was the point in being subtle? She was the one that was perking up her breasts and wearing that skimpy outfit to begin with. Charlie would avoid the obvious quip of being taught how to French kiss and stop wasting time. Of course, maybe her form of demonstration was to recite the French national anthem and some other boring shit, but when a girl was walking around looking like that, Charlie figured she wasn't too keen on talking.

"What've you got?"

Apparently he was going to play along, at least for a little -- brilliant. With how often her mother was going off at her about not having a proper husband 'at her age' (as if her mother could really consider her an old hag or something, really) she was just itching to do something at least partially ridiculous or irresponsible.

"Further demonstration? Oh, but that is not for the public eye..." she smirked, not at all bothered by his forwardness. If she hadn't been out fishing for this exact thing, perhaps she would've been reacting differently -- but it wasn't as if he was trying to molest her straight-away, and she was fairly certain that with how sober she was he couldn't be accused of taking advantage of her.

"I suppose I could show you, though, being as you are such a handsome and festive gentleman."
