Rita drained her cocktail and glanced at the clock on the wall. Merlin, it was almost time for the stripper to arrive. They'd worked out how this was going to happen. Rita crossed to the bar and grabbed herself another drink, then walked up to one of the tables and tapped a fork against her glass.

"Evening, everyone," she said when she had their attention. "Now that you're all here and hopefully having a good time -" a smile "-it's probably about time that I bore you with a speech. Now, as I presume you already know, our darling Gilderoy is taking the plunge into married life in a few days' time, and he needs all the advice he can get about being a husband, or a wife. I just wanted to say..."

Rita broke off when music interrupted her words, right on cue. She let her eyes travel over the guests as if searching, then turned to look behind her.

"What on earth could that be?"

Oh bloody hell. Why had he agreed to do this? While Wayne didn't have any problem at all with nudity, the idea of actually dancing around and taking off his clothes in front of a group of people was rather fucking frightening. He wasn't overly tall or broad shouldered, nor was he at all pretty or handsome

"CHICKEN HUNTER!" Gilderoy yelled when he noticed who had come into the room.

He had been sitting with Seti and Andromeda, chatting about various things when Rita came near them to begin her speech. She seemed genuinely surprised when his fellow vigilante came into the room in a Muggle suit. Of course, it wasn't sensible attire for chasing after chickens, but at least the young man had the sense to start removing the more constrictive of his clothing.

"I say," Gilderoy started, "what do you think that youn ma--"

[shh_rita]

Oh, FUCK. Gilderoy. He was... dear god do I have to explain EVERYTHING?Rita moved as quickly as she could, which probably wasn't her usual speed, considering she'd had a few cocktails. Gilderoy was already half out of his seat when she reached him

[shh_daphne]

Daphne stared in surprise at the young man coming out from his hiding place, wondering why had been hiding there in the first place. She had been under the impression that this was a party for the women in Mr. Lockhart's life, so what was he doing dancing around like that?

Wait, was he taking his clothes off???

She glanced tentatively at Mr. Lockhart and his sister, but her sense of alarm diminished some when she saw that Ms. Skeeter wasn't interrupting. In fact, Ms. Skeeter looked as though she was rather pleased with herself, so obviously this was supposed to happen. Daphne turned her eyes back to the dancing man, wondering exactly how much clothes he was going to take off. She blushed a little, but kept watching in strange fascination.

Daphne would be the first person to admit to having had a very sheltered upbringing, even compared to most other pureblooded children, but if this... event was really normal, she couldn't help but wonder what else she could have missed out on over the years.

[shh_romilda]

Romilda was interrupted from her conversation with Daphne by the sound of music, and by Gilderoy's yell. Turning, she spotted a man - it was Wayne Hopkins. After seeing the self-satisfied look on Rita's face, and the actual beat of the music, she had a very good idea of what Wayne was highly likely to do.

She hid her smirk behind her drink, watching the varying reactions of the girls -- women in the room. So this was what they wanted Cormac for, she thought. She would have been insanely jealous had he actually been here now, and was very glad he had turned them down.

There was a moment there where the hesitancy in Wayne's eyes turned into a 'what the hell' look, and she let out a very unladylike wolf whistle. Turning towards Rita and Gilderoy, she winked, torn between watching the show, and watching the reaction that would be on Gilderoy's face. Oh now the party really was getting started!
