HOGWARTS WEEKEND

The clinking of glass is heard throughout the Great Hall
"If I could have your attention for a moment! Thank you, thank you---that means you too, Mister Shimpling----
Hogwarts has always been a second home to me, my home home being much cozier and a lot less damp. It is the place where I gained my magical education, and where for years upon years I have instructed students to become the best of the best. You all know that I accept nothing below the best, and I hope that you feel that I have given you the absolute best Potions lessons a young wizard or witch could obtain. But, the time has come for me to hang up my professor's hat and set off into the boring world of retirement. I am old---yes, yes I am! Oh, ho--don't try to deny me of that, old age is a very good thing in these trying times. Thank you though, how old would you say I look?
"--but that's beside the point! With recent events that have racked the school, I have decided to throw one last Slug Club party, but this time, you do not need a special invitation to attend. Of course, I will be making sure that the students who deserve the recognition of being a Slug Club member will get the proper encouragement, along with alumni that wish to send me off on the right note, bless their hearts. Hogwarts, I think, is in need of a pick me up, and I shall be the man to provide it!
"So, please, do not forget your dear old Potions Master. Be sure to send letters of your current events and the on goings of your life, I am most eager to see where you all end up! Especially my Slytherins, how wonderful you have all been to me these past few years! I will miss leading your House the most, as I feel as if I have helped mold and raise some of the greatest wizards and witches of our time!
"I have rambled long enough, though I suppose I could reminisce about my early days----oh, food is served!"
The Slug Club party will be held on Friday the 12th, everyone in Hogwarts, former Slug Club members, celebrities, and people in 'good' position (if you think Slughorn would like your character, you got an invite) is invited. It will be in the Great Hall. Very formal.
