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."

"Everything looks wonderful," she assured him with a smile, "And before you ask again, I'm fine. I wore shoes with extra room in them in case my feet swell up." And from the looks of things, that had been the best decision. "But really -- everything is great, Henry. Look what you and your apparently not-so-incompetent brother can do when you put your heads together." Not something she thought she would be saying, but she had to admit that Seth had been giving Henry some well-deserved spotlight for once.

"Even the food's good. The last banquet I went to was luke-warm roast and gluey potatoes."

Henry kept his smile even if he was mentally miffed that Heidi assumed he was going to fret. He had been trying to be good, what was the point in trying if you were just to be reminded that you weren't doing a very good job? He brushed it off however, still in too much of a good mood to take too much offense (but he was Henry, so his ego was of course slightly stung).

"Gluey potatoes?" Henry pulled a face, wondering where on earth Heidi had been attending parties. Never again would she have to deal with that kind of nonsense, Henry would make sure of that. "I may have to question your choice of events."

He smiled widely though, wrapping an arm around her. He was extremely glad that Heidi approved of everything as she'd always been very honest with her opinions, and he trusted her word more than most. It was strange, his girlfriend and brother did not get along at all, but Henry knew that they both would never balk at telling him the truth.
