"Hello, my wonderful students." Professor Slughorn said, spreading his arms. "Welcome to the first ever Slug Club Christmas party."
The students all cheered and Slughorn wondered why he hadn't thought of this before. This was the most perfect opportunity to recruit more students! He smiled as he thought of all the decorations Vernice Malhorn had given him. She was an excellent interior decorator, all because he, Professor Slughorn, had introduced her to Belinda Norse, a famous fashionista.
Darren Qyr was standing around, looking slightly forlorn. Slughorn bounded up to him. "Darren, my boy, hope you're enjoying the party?" Slughorn asked.
"Yes, yes. It's quite excellent." Darren was always a shy one, but he had a knack for the arts, which Slughron appreciated.
"Why don't I introduce you Zachary Xeno, a writer for the Daily Prophet?" Slughorn asked.
"Of course. I would love to meet him." Darren perked up at the mention of his idol. Slughorn led the way around the twisted party.
"Ah, Zachary, looking as fresh as ever." Slughorn greeted.
Zachary Xeno was a good-looking young man with a charming smile. "Of course, Mr. Slughorn, always a pleasure. Mind giving an interview?"
"No, no. I have some other students to see. I wanted you to meet Darren here, Darren Qyr. He had a knack for writing." Slughorn said, pushing Darren forward.
"Yes." Darren stammered. "You-You write good stories."
Zachary laughed, causing some girls to sigh. "Why don't we talk about this little hobby of yours? Maybe you could be our Hogwarts correspondent!"
"Of course!" Soon, Darren and Zachary were talking about famous articles and authors, while Slughorn smiled and thought of the treats he was soon to receive.
