| Term 33: January - April 2013 Term Thirty-Three: Board of Governors Elections (September 2079 - June 2080) |

| | What is this?! Welcome to the Library Fundraiser! The 2078-79 school year saw a ghost-possessed man-eating plant take the lives of two professors and also resulted in serious fire damage to the Reference Section of Hogwarts' legendary library. Care to help spruce it up? Then you're in the right place!
All students, staff, Ministry employees, Diagon Alley businessmen, women, and patrons are invited attend this fundraiser party dressed as their favorite book characters. Adult attendees must donate either five galleons or a book to get in to the party. Student attendees can donate eight sickles or a book as well. All proceeds go straight to rebuilding the reference section, and must be made here at the media table before getting in to the party!
What can you do at the party? Party things, of course! Grab a plate and fill up some of Hogwarts' famous elf-made food, and then get ready for the main attraction: an AUCTION. Hope you brought your wallets, because the Hogwarts staff and surrounding community have been working hard to bring you some top-notch goods and professors for your buying pleasure.
Enjoy the fundraiser, and thank you ever so much for attending this necessary event.

David O. Truebridge Mysteries | OOC Information Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB Auction/Event FAQs. Post here if you have a question! How many characters can I play at the event/auction?
You may play up to three different characters (only one should be school-aged, though) as long as all are listed in your profile and you differentiate between them with various fonts and colours. Please do not RP solely with yourself, as that defies the point of our RPs. 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 paddle 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 (ie, PM Harold Lagerty with your bids.) 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). He 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 #80: *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 and/or person as long as you have the funding to back your bids. 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. How long do I have (OOC wise) to bid?
You can post raising your paddle as often as you want, as Droo will multi-quote your posts and reply to them in the order they are posted. We will try to accommodate all time zones and get through the bidding of as many items as possible, but please keep in mind that we cannot allow an infinite number of bids on an item. So just try to go with the flow and be online while our auctioneer is! 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.
