In the center of the largest room of the Library known as the 'Bookshelves,' a big mahogany pulpit has been put up for Board of Governors Secretary Ian Amoroso's use during the auction, since he is in charge. To the right of the pulpit, a long dark oak table with chairs has been put up for the use of certain esteemed guests and auction organizers like the Hogwarts Governors, Headmistress Truebridge, and School Librarian Leobald Kitridge, as well as few notable others. To the left of the pulpit, there is an average sized table where you, prior to the auction’s start, can browse the objects and items that will be up for grabs in the auction. On the floor, rows upon rows of chairs have been put up for the guests taking part in the auction to sit on. More will appear magically if there is a need.
Just inside the door, to the left, there is a big stack of paddles which everyone taking a part in the auction needs to grab or risk disqualification from bidding. The paddles are what you raise when you want to bid for an object, where your paddles number will be jotted down and later matched up with your name, bid, and prize.
Text Cut: Auction FAQ
Who runs the auction?
Board of Governors Secretary Ian Amoroso (Droo) is in charge.
Can anyone take part in the auction?
Anyone with a number pole can take part, regardless if they are 11 years old or 77 years old (and beyond!).
How do I place a bid?
There are two ways to place a bid on an object or person.
Option 1:
You sit in the auction audience and raise your paddle high enough to catch Amoroso's attention. He will note your bid by raising the price of the item.
Option 2:
You can’t take part in the auction on site at Hogwarts but would like to still place a bid on an object or specific person. You can do that via owl services, using a patronus or a two way mirror. Any outside bids will be taken and registered by the Board Treasurer Harold Lagerty.
What is the procedure when I want to bid for an object or person?
Mr. Amoroso will present the object or person being auctioned off with a brief description of the value of the item (or person). She will then open the bidding at a low amount so that everyone can join in and raise their paddle then as the bidding goes on. The more bids placed, the higher the price of the item. It is up to you if you keep bidding or not.
Example:
Auctioneer: "The bidding opens at one galleon. Do I have one galleon?" Bidder #7: "I bid one galleon." Auctioneer: "Two galleons, do I have two galleons?" Bidder #30: *Raises paddle* Auctioneer: "Very good. Three galleons, do I have three galleons?"
And so on and so forth until nobody wants to bid more money. The auctioneer will say something like, "Tiffany lamp for 40 galleons going once..." No one else bids, "going twice," still no bids, "going…SOLD to Bidder #37, the man in the red jacket."
Bidder #37's bid would then be recorded along with the price he bid and the item ticket number, and a new object or person will be presented. Bidding will start again.
Is there a maximum number of times I can bid for one object?
No, there is not. You can bid as many times as you want for an object as long as you have the funding to back your bids.
PLEASE ONLY USE GALLEONS
Is there a maximum amount of money I can spend in the whole auction?
No, of course not, but everyone bidding should of course have the funding to be able to pay for what they want, or Mr. Lagerty won’t release to you what you have bought at the end of the auction.
I won the bid for an object(s)/person(s)! How do I pay and get my object/reward?
After the whole auction is over you will need to seek out Mr Hops Lagerty to pay and to collect the object(s) you won. Mr. Lagerty will be near the front of the auction platform, so look for him there. If you have won a day with a person, then you will get contact information on that person so that you two can arrange when and where to meet.

Oliver nodded as he heard what was next. And saw her giving a cutsey wave and stuff. Hm. His father or his uncle; one of them would surely find her attractive, no? Worthy of spending a day with? The fourteen year old contemplated another moment or two before raising paddle number 45; "65 Galleons."

Bouncing Blueberries...
That was it? It was over? ... 65 galleons?
Seren had hoped for a bit more than that, but anything, was something, she supposed.

What?
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Excuse YOU little person!
Aron probably shouldn't have spent so much time glaring at the little person who had just bid on his wife - although hearing Mr. Auction-man say something about Seren did briefly catch his attention....until he realized that he had never raised his paddle again and...
KSAJKSDSDHKSDHKDSJ!!
WORST HUSBAND EVER!
Jaw hanging open and his ego bruised beyond belief Aron glanced back and forth between Seren and this PERSON. Fumbling with his costume a little, he looked sheepishly at Seren. So much for going to infinity and beyond for her? FAIL.
Unless...
"I'll just be a moment," he said with a smile and a quick kiss on her cheek before walking over to the person that had bid on his wife...and won. "70 galleons." Or did the kid want a lollipop instead?
Seren could feel her insides squirming with excitement and giddiness as Aron wrapped his arm around her. She appreciated his warmth and protectiveness, even if it was amusing and unnecessary at the time.
Raising her eyebrows in curiosity as he kissed her cheek, saying he'd just be a moment, Seren starred after him, and then followed suit. What was he up to?
Standing behind him, she followed him to the kid that won. The kid she'd be spending the day with...
Fadkjsocm! He said what now?!
"Aron!" she hissed. Buying her off the kid, really?!

Just as he was contemplating and weighing the pros and cons, a man, one of the others who was bidding on Seren, approached him. And offered him 70 galleons?! Why was he trying to take away his prize?!
"But the bidding is over. I won the day with her." Ollie stared blankly back at the man. "Why do you want it so badly anyway that you're trying to pay me for my win?"
Peaking her head around her husband she grinned. "Hi... congratulations, and I have to apologise for my husband, he's just jealous that he didn't win." And a sore loser apparently. Though, secretly, she liked that.

SERIOUSLY? Who was this guy? What did he want with Dash anyway? At least the others she could figure were probably messing with HER, because surely they weren't legitimately wanting his company, he was too much the annoying smug jerk to most people.
Paddle up. "92 galleons." She REALLY had no desire to go any much higher. It was a LOT of money. And was HE going to come back over here? To the scene of the crime? Or just keep lurking around the silent auction bids?

Cough.
No. He had not been hiding. Dash had simply biding his time...waiting until all the bidding for him was done. Surely it was done now. Right? Annnd by the look on Althea's face that was a no. "Oh look people realize how amazing I am." The man said simply slipping back in his seat as if nothing had happened. And a certain person wasn't fuming. And as if there wasn't a chance he would get a paddle thrown at his head.
A hundred?
"You going to raise it?" Smirk. After all Lafay couldn't win. Pssh. She'd inflict some kind of torture.
Which at the moment Althea might agree with.
A dragon!!! Kyroh grinned at the lady. Okay! He would tell him to get him it.
And Althea was smiling but not happy. Huh. Kyroh looked around. Had they said his dad's name? Why? People were betting on him? "I wanna bet!" But he didn't have a paddle. Or money.
"Can we bet using chocolate frogs?" He had those!!

One hundred? Ugh, did she really want to go over a hundred for him? Hadn't giving Dash a raise been enough?
Apparently not. Heh. Annie had the sudden idea that she could sell her 'day with Dash' off to her cousin Ivy and make a profit in the process. Brilliant plan, just brilliant.
"101!" the redhead called out with a diabolical grin.

"You should know." Althea practically hissed in his ear, quiet enough that Kyroh wouldn't hear, "I am going to hurt you later." She'd take the damned paddle home with her.
She glared at him. He could WIPE that damned smirk off his face.

"We can bet on that dragon over there with chocolate frogs maybe. You can meet him. We'll go talk to him soon, okay Kyroh?" She said to the only individual in the room that could actually keep her any bit calm in that moment.
She put the paddle up again, and now that Dash was HERE he was getting all the death glares. "102 Galleons."

Merlin!
What was going on here? Why did everyone seem to be so interested in getting time with this man? Did they really want to spend time with the jerk or were their motives more like Cece's?
Listening to the bidding war going on she looked over at Hecate when the woman bid 100 Galleons. As much as Cece wanted to mess with this man she not NOT want to be spending all her hard earned money on him, even if the money was going to the restoration of the library. No, she had a better idea.
Working her way back over to Hecate she sat down behind her friend. "Please tell me you're bidding on this fool for the same reason I am," she whispered to the potions mistress. Because if they were bidding against each other for the same reasons then maybe they could work together on this.
It could be a win win situation for both of them.
Hearing the bid go up again she raised her paddle, "105 Galleons."
Okay, now would be a good time for Hecate to say she wanted to work together here.

Alexander had been tuning out Hecate's discussion with Cece. It was girl talk, really, and he had no place in it unless someone annoyed him as they'd done earlier. He only tuned in when her heard his name, or nickname, really. "For what?" he asked, a bit bewildered. She wanted a ride on a Hippogriff? "Are you planning on using it for ingredients afterwards or something?"

Ian tried his hardest to not stick his tongue out to Mr. party-pooper with paddle 23.
"Alright next up for bid is Hecate Laf-"
Ian did not finish the name, he ended up ducking from the hex Lafay had cast his way and let it hit the wall behind him.
"It was a JOKE! We're trying to REBUILD the library Lafay, not demolish it!"
He turned around and fixed the spot in the wall.
"Merlin," he said moving his hands down his suit to straighten it. "Some people can't take a joke... ANYWAY. Next Staffer up for bid is the Deputy Headmaster himself, and professor of History of Magic, Everett, or "Dash," Scabior."
Alexander nearly shot out of his chair. His WIFE was up for grabs?! Not that he was insecure, but he was a very, very jealous man. In the next second, Hecate had cast on Amoroso, and Alexander realized it'd all been a joke after all. He chuckled to himself and rested in his chair once again. "Nice aim," he said to his wife.

Once again, Alexander nearly came up out of his chair. Nevermind that she'd kissed him ahead of time. He sat back, scowl in place, annoyed now that Scabior was getting all the attention.
He should have put himself up for grabs...

She had to know now.
A hunded galleons?! For Scabior?
...and Hecate was using the paddle he'd registered to do this. He could just see the winning announcement day.

Roxanne didn't care rather she was making an enemy or not, quite frankly. She was too amused by the A&C Head's reaction. Besides, she had a few enemies already, what's a few more? Her smirk widening, she lifted her paddle higher. "110 galleons." Your move, Althea. She should keep in mind, though, that Wes really didn't like her and would be very angry if something happened to his remaining prosecutor. And she wouldn't like him when he's angry....

Yes kid, he knew the bidding was over and THAT is precisely why he was here now offering you money kid. Only Aron didn't respond to the initial comment and instead just stood there smirking. Maybe he should have offered candy? Oh, why did he want her so badly? Oh, gosh...hmmm...let's all pause and think about this for a moment. "Oh...I dunno, maybe because she is my wife?" he said, smirk still very much there. "And I promised her that I would win and I hate losing hate breaking my promises."

WHAAAAAAAT? What was that look for?
Looking like a kicked cruppy - or a wilted Shrivel Fig, take your pick - and recoiled just a little when she hissed at him.
Paddle still in hand, he waved it idly back and forth in defeat. Why, had he been paying more attention he would have bid... "115 galleons!" he declared, finishing his train of thought out loud. Yep. 115 galleons surely would have been out of the kid's financial range, right?

In which case, he was never going to live it down.

"120!" Annie waved her paddle 52 around again, wondering who else in Merlin's beard was bidding on Dash? Weird. It was like he had friends or something. She glanced over her shoulder and made another face at Hecate, albeit a puzzled face and not a glare!face this time, and then turned back around again.
"Don't just sell my Deputy to anybody now, Amoroso," the redhead commanded the auctioneer from her seat near the front.
***
Well that was weird. Cece had just stalked off like she was mad at him or something... whatdidhedo? Dragon head still under his arm, William frowned and followed after the Healer. He got lost in the crowd for a bit but he found her again when she started shouting out numbers for old Dashbag Scabbers.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? "Cece," the tall dragonologist whispered, plopping into a seat just behind hers and whispering in her ear, "What are you DOING?!"
MAKING THE WORST MISTAKE OF HER LIVE, clearly!!!

"Captain... are you... pouting?" She laughed and looked at Sierra. "It's for a good cause Sierra, and I need someone to clean up the cauldrons for my next lesson."

"Don't just sell my Deputy to anybody now, Amoroso," the redhead commanded the auctioneer from her seat near the front.

Well that was weird. Cece had just stalked off like she was mad at him or something... whatdidhedo? Dragon head still under his arm, William frowned and followed after the Healer. He got lost in the crowd for a bit but he found her again when she started shouting out numbers for old Dashbag Scabbers.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? "Cece," the tall dragonologist whispered, plopping into a seat just behind hers and whispering in her ear, "What are you DOING?!"
MAKING THE WORST MISTAKE OF HER LIVE, clearly!!!
She raised her paddle "130 Galleons!" She said and noticed Williamson with Cece. She then narrowed her eyes at him. "Williamson..." She said and seethed glaring at the man.

She glared at him. He could WIPE that damned smirk off his face.
"We can bet on that dragon over there with chocolate frogs maybe. You can meet him. We'll go talk to him soon, okay Kyroh?" She said to the only individual in the room that could actually keep her any bit calm in that moment.
She put the paddle up again, and now that Dash was HERE he was getting all the death glares. "102 Galleons."
Why were people still bidding on him? Wasn't it obvious, Dash had just said it, was amazing. And because of that he was not about to let Althea start breathing fire. "You can try." He had expect that. Not real pain, just her trying.
Reaching out Dash attempted to yank the paddle from her hand.

"There is a list of things that I have absolutely no fear of Hecate. The punishment you could put be through being one of them." Pssh. Really. He hadn't even technically agreed to this whole auction thing so he could just blow off any torture aimed at him.

The dragon that he had been talking about before? Althea was being honest right? Kyroh grinned, but froze when he saw the dragon man come up to him. He couldn't be mean to him. His papa wouldn't like that and he wasn't a real dragon, but he could be! He couldn't have been. Like he was spiderman. Holding onto Althea's hand with his own just in case the dragon didn't like, him Kyroh reached over and gave the dragon the smallest of pokes.
"........" He stared. And opened his mouth and stared more. "......Hi Mr. Dragon." The boy whispered.

She kissed her husband on the cheek and raised her paddle. "81, Paddle one." She said.
*GLARE*
Well, small glare because Aron was no idiot and knew who this woman was. Or, well, more importantly to HIM was who the woman was married to. Sure there was Mr. Head Cabbage Wes, but the Minister was Mr. Head Cabbage's Head Cabbage and therefore Mr. Senior Head Cabbage to him. So, yes, no insulting the woman.
At least not directly or out loud.
"Some people just don't like losing," he said with a smug grin. There. He had said it. No...go away or something and let him wallow in self pity.

In which case, he was never going to live it down.
No, wait...Seren was worth so much more than that. Actually, there was no price on her and he was just about to glance at her again when someone else was shouting his name.
Merlin, what now!?
Oh, Roxanne? Wait...HUH?!
"I don't," he said rather flatly as he gawked at the woman. "I hate history." Then he raised an eyebrow at her. "What about you?" Wasn't she sort of chasing after what's-his-face in the Ministry?
WAIT! This meant that his 115 galleons just now...OH SON OF A GARDEN GNOME!! Someone else bid!! Oh, good...the red head had and he flashed her an appreciative smile.

And she kept hold Of Kyroh's hand of course. She didn't mind that he needed the reassurance.

Oh he REALLY was in for it. She yanked it away and then smacked him on the knuckles with it.

Really?! No No No... The Headmistress wanted him, for what?! She could tell him to clip her mangley toenails and he had to do it. HE KNOWS SOMETHING!!!
Hecate smirked... She liked Althea.
"What? Do you want to torture him for manual labor as well?" She asked not whispering at all. She didn't care if Dash heard. He should know why she was bidding on him... well, that and finding out what he had on the Headmistress...
"Maybe..." She said smiling at him.
"Nehh, I'm losing my touch, I should have anticipated his ducking..." She said looking at the trajectory.
"Captain... are you... pouting?" She laughed and looked at Sierra. "It's for a good cause Sierra, and I need someone to clean up the cauldrons for my next lesson."
She raised her paddle "130 Galleons!" She said and noticed Williamson with Cece. She then narrowed her eyes at him. "Williamson..." She said and seethed glaring at the man.
What was Cece doing with him.
Manual labour.
Cleaning Cauldrons.
Althea was nearing her maximum. She would NOT bid more than 135. Plain and simple. However.... She fixed Dash with a smile. It wasn't a NICE smile. Perhaps Cece and Hecate would be nice enough to let her watch.
She lowered her paddle, still smiling. And STILL fuming, eyes boring holes into Dash's. That's right. She was willing to let them WIN him. Or his services at least, such as they were.
"The dirtier the better, Hecate." She said simply. Make him pay, potions mistress, make him pay.

She was about to raise her paddle again when...

Oh, NOW he can talk to her. Now that she's bidding on Deputy Headcase another man... who finally decided to make his presence known to them.
"I'm bidding, what's itto youlook like?"
Yes, she was still upset with him for blowing her off earlier.

PERFECT!
Hecate had the same idea as she did. "Would I be bidding on him for any other reason?" It would totally be worth her money to make this man do real work. "So how about we work together on this one? Split the cost of thislittle elfDeputy." Really, it was good for both of them.
And then Hecate went and placed another bid.
What to do, what to do. Should she outbid Hecate or wait on her answer?
"135 Galleons!" She shouted as she thrust her paddle in the air again, just in case Hecate didn't want to work with her. But not before she noticed that look Hecate gave William when she acknowledged him.
What did he do to Hecate to get that look?

Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Cece laughed so hard at Dash getting his hand slapped like a little kid she thought she was going to fall out of her seat. "That'll teach you not to try and take something from a woman." Then again, go ahead, try it again. Cece wanted to see him get his other hand slapped.
Xylia slithered into the auction crowd and wondered where everyone's senses went to? She had seen the silent auction tables and was shocked at the items that were up for bid, especially the illegal magic carpet! They need to be reported. Lack of oversight from the headmistress and she probably badgered the current Board of Governors to approve everything.
She continued to watch the action with an air of disapproval.

Awwwwwwwww. If he wasn't just the cutest... William's face slowly moved into a grin at the whispering kid, and he felt an urge to suddenly put his head back on.
So he did. "Heyyy Mr...." uh, whose kid was this again? He looked familiar... "Bud. How are ya?"

"I'm bidding, what's itto youlook like?"
Yes, she was still upset with him for blowing her off earlier.
"But you're bidding on DASH. You know, SCABIOR." He couldn't help that his voice was getting loud. He always had had a habit of talking loudly in general, and then even more loudly when he was wearing his dragonologist outfit. "WHY?"
Also, why so angry at him? Geez. Maybe Oliver had had a point about her...

Ivy let out a short laugh. Yeah right. "Then why not simply ask her instead of wasting your galleons?" Seemed logical to her, and she was the Ravenclaw here. And she was not jealous. At all. Erik was attractive and intriguing, but Ivy was not jealous.
The blonde was sold, anyhow. To a young boy, which she found rather amusing.
Ivy continued watching the people bid on professors... Until Scabior was the Person of Interest. Ivy stole a peek at Erik - aha! He looked at her. He was waiting to see if she would bid, wasn't he? Ivy continued to watch the auction, debating if she should join. Watching Althea, Ivy came to the conclusion that even if she did bid, she wouldn't win. Her fellow alchemist would not allow it. So, with a small smirk and a wink towards Althea, Ivy raised paddle number 27. "85 galleons." It was all fun and games.
"Perhaps it is a private question," Erik replied shortly. Why was she so interested in his affairs? He didn't ask her nearly as many questions...mostly because he didn't need to, but still.
He was saving his galleons. See? No need to be jealous any more, monster madame. He raised an eyebrow when his seatmate bid on the deputy headmaster, but said nothing of it.
"So you like powerful men," he mused. All right, he had to say something. It was all for fun though. And charity.

And who was this, standing just off to the side there, blocking his view of the show?
"Excuse me," Erik addressed the woman in the aisle loud enough for her to hear. "Vouldn't you be more comfortable sitting down?"

Awwww, look at that. The cute little kid was poking at the dragon William.
Oh damn, he was putting that head back on. Cece didn't want to look at a dragon head, she wanted to look at HIS handsome face head.
Oh well, it was for the kid.
"Yeah, I know who I'm bidding on." Did William think she was stupid or what? "When will I ever get another opportunity like this? You know, to get him to do what I want that is." And if she had t put out this much money for the man he would be doing manual labor, the muggle way.

It would probably be a better idea to leave Althea alone to let her anger subdue, if it were possible. But Dash just couldn't do it. He had never left her alone when she was angry before and so he wasn't about to start.
Which was why when the paddle was pulled away, it returned to strike him on his knuckles. Quickly pulling his hand around Dash frowned. "It probably would be best to not act like a child." Not at a public event Althea. Getting worked up and deadly over something that hardly mattered. He had expected it, but still.
.....
......
"Thanks."

The laughing drew his attention to the other woman bidding for him. The one that was actually the worst of of the bunch. And with the way things were now. It seemed as though Cece was winning. "Tilstorm, you aren't wanted here, or anywhere in my basic vicinity, so mind your own business." If she was going to win him, and have him do Merlin knows what, Dash wasn't going to stay quiet about it.

Uh. Uh, uh. Kyroh stared at tightened his grip on Althea's hand. "Spiderman." He finally got out. "I'm Spiderman." He even pointed to his name tag (the top one that read Spiderman not the bottom one that read Althea) with his free hand.
How was he?
.....
Well....Kyroh continued to stare until the dragon man put on his dragon head! It was back! Look! DRAGON. "I don't have a paddle but I have chocolate so can I win you?"

Sierra just sighed. All the female staff members, or at least a good many of them, were after a day with Scabior. Come on. The man hung out with mermaids and five-year-olds. He couldn't be that exciting, could he?
He was hot, though...
She should have bid.
"MOM!" Sierra suddenly exclaimed. She got sort of antsy in her seat in all her excitement. Her father had told her she could ask for something if she'd like, but he or Sierra's mother had to approve it first. After all, it was their money. "The groundskeeper is up for bidding. Can I spend the day with him? I'd love to...learn about..." Erm... "...mowing."

"Mowing?" Well that was an odd thing to want to learn about... Though maybe not for someone who wanted to play Quidditch professionally. Hecate handed the girl the paddle. "Go on then. But if I say stop... you stop, got it?"
