A/N To those wondering if I disappeared off the face of the Earth; no, not yet. I was just taking a break (which turned into a pretty long break) from fanfiction (because my life was starting to revolve around it). But I am back now! So on with the story. (And I'm sorry my break took so long, I didn't mean for it to).

The day before school ended, Slughorn gathered a few of his favorite pupils. "The Slug Club may be over, but I can still throw parties." He whispered to them. They glowed with glee. "Don't tell anyone." Slughorn added.

Of course, they brought their closest friends, and their friends brought their friends, until it seemed that the entire of the school had come. Slughorn, as usual, didn't mind and welcomed them all. The party was going quite well until someone accidently spilled a strange potion in the fire.

The fire glowed purple and flared up. All of the students (including Slughorn) sped away from it. They crowded the corners of the room. The fire changed color to green. Dumbledore appeared from the flames, glowering.

He looked at the students. "Since this is the last day before break, I shall not set any punishment, but I shall remember if you break the rules again." He warned simply. All the students nodded and ran from the room.

"What rules?" Slughorn protested.

Dumbledore glared at him. "Horace, you knew full well that you could not throw a party because of your last one."

"No, you said I couldn't have The Slug Club anymore."

"Horace," Dumbledore sighed, "I am afraid I am going to have to ask you to pack your bags."

"What?"

"If you cannot obey the headmaster, you are obviously not a fit teacher."

"Look here, Dumbledore." Slughorn began, but Dumbledore had already gone. Slughorn sat down on a chair and began to process what had just happened. Had he really been sacked? Slughorn stood up. He'd show Dumbleore. He'd got a job somewhere else. "Somewhere where they respect me." He muttered to himself as he waved his wand. In an instant, his trunks were packed and the room was bare. He glanced at his old office. "Good-bye, Hogwarts."
