Slug Club Meeting Number 1 - Slytherin Common Room

[old-sluggy.livejournal.com]

OOC: Sorry it's a bit later than I promised. All who were invited to the first meeting of the Slug Club are welcome and encouraged to post. It IS in the Slytherin common room, so univited Slytherins may crash if they wish. Though the description is in prose, I think it might be easiest to role-play this in first person with asteriks. Or however you feel comfortable. Enjoy!


The Slytherin common room is hardly recognizable. Red, pink, and white streamers decorate the ceiling while magical confetti of the same color falls, but disappears before hitting any surfaces. There are several tables full of an assortment of drinks, both alcoholic and virgin, as well as snacks including red, heart-shaped rice crispy treats, bowls full of candy hearts proclaiming things such as 'be mine', trays full of cookies and other delicious

A light, jazzy tune plays in the background, while Slughorn, dressed in a red smoking jacket decorated with white hearts, sits comfortably in an armchair, waiting for the newest Slug Club members to arrive.

((Yeah, I thought this was the second meeting. Sorry. ^^;))

*Visibly relaxes by the chivalric gesture, taking the rose carefully*

Oh, thank you for the rose and the compliment. This is my first time attending school outside of private tutors, so I am not quite familiar whether or not the title of professor remains once tenure is completed.

*Still, her confidence is shaken, and she seems more interested in listening or responding rather than instigating a conversation herself*

Oh, look, Narcissa, dear. Someone of substance that we haven't met yet.

*makes his way over to Miss Woodhouse* Greetings, mademoiselle. I don't believe we've been introduced. I'm Lucius Malfoy and this is my charming wife, Narcissa. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance and all the more so in such circumstances.

*smiles politely and nods at Miss Woodhouse* Pleasure. *looks over her rather appraisingly and quite happy with what she sees*

*She curtsies*

How kind you are.

*Takes a deep breath and summons all her keen social wit about her*

It is a pleasure to meet you and your wife, dear sir.

*She curtsies and smiles, attempting to look un-flustered by her embarrassing error*

I was so hoping to meet people of pleasurable conversation. I certainly hope your stay at Hogwarts has been superior?

*if there's any embarrassing error here, he doesn't see it*

My stay has its ups and down, for it's hardly a true vacation. All the same, I'm pleased with the end results so far. *keeping personal issues far, far away here*

I trust your own has been to your tastes? You must have made quite an impression if you were invited to this esteemed get-together of Slughorn's.

*Pales deeply*

"Oh! Ah- Hogwarts is quite different from my home in Highbury, which unfortunately is situated miles away and almost two hundred years in the past. Nevertheless, I have taken to a great many fine girls who require guidance and care, but otherwise have great potential for happiness. True, I have also been sorted into a house that takes great pains to see that I do not feel intellectually isolated."

*Feels strangely hot, despite a chill that is running up her spine. Oh, the pain and humiliation!*

Unfortunately, time travel has not taken well with me. Sir, I am of great fortune to have met a man of such obvious strength of character and manners, but unfortunately I can not remain at this party long, for the sake of my health.

*It was true. She was feeling quite nauseous and faint*

*thinks about this for a second* I suppose I could still retain the title, though for familiarity sake, you could just call me Sluggy. Mostly everyone does and I find it a lot less formal than a title.

You should help yourself to the refreshments. It is a party after all, my dear. *charming smile and a wink*

I am sure nothing will compare to the treats. Whoever has such clever hands to write those messages on the candies so prettily? And quite comprehensible too.

If you would prefer to be called something less formal, I would no doubt be happy to do so, my dear Sluggy.

*Her nose twitches a bit when she says this, but otherwise appears to be charmed*
