"Miss Moons, what a very pleasant surprise running into you this morning!" The familiar voice of professor Slughorn spoke. What does Slughorn want with me today...

Ever since my successful Skele-Gro potion professor Slughorn has been overly praising me and my talents -- Sometimes he'd even slip up and began praising me about my heritage.
Yes, I loved attention but the amount that he's giving me I wished he went back on just Harry.

A forced smile grew on my face as I turned around on my feet. "Yeah. Good morning, professor Slughorn" I greet lowly.

"On your way to the Qudditch match?" I nodded my head at his question. Today my house was playing against Gryffindor and even though I'm sure that were going to loose I still wanted to attend the match today.

The cold atmosphere of late November was chilly on my skin, even with my outfit choice and perhaps that's why I'm so irritated at the moment. I wore a black turtle neck that hugged my skin tight and an matching colored skirt that reached the apex of my thighs. Around my shoulders was a dark green jumper that I stole from Theodore yesterday. But my legs were covered by sheer stockings.

Id lightly done my makeup this morning, which spent me about a good hour and a half. So to ensure that my time wouldn't go to waste my curly hair was pushed out of my face by an black headband that I knitted.

"Well, I only ask for a moment of your time Miss Moons." Slughorn requested and I halted my steps and turned to him. Though I already knew what professor wanted, it would be mean for me to ignore him. "I know that you've made it clear that you have no interest in my club."

Yeah I really didn't have any interest for Slughorn's club--From what Blaise told me professor invited anyone in that stupid club. Including Hermione and I think I'd rather do an flip off of the Astronomy tower than be in the same club as Hermione.

He continued with a smile, "But I'm having a Christmas party the day before you leave for break and I would really like it if you'd come
and see how it is and maybe you would finally reconsider your decision."

"I'll really think about it, sir." I highly doubted that I'd reconsider anything and the fact that he won't leave me alone was a little irritating.
He already had Blaise and Harry so what the hell does he even want with me?

Plus with my family hosting the upcoming Holiday party I didn't have the time to attend anyone's else's event. I needed to make sure that I made an guest list that my father would be proud of me for pulling together.

"Wait!--Professor Slughorn." I called when Slughorn turned on his feet to walk away in disappointment almost. "My father is having a holiday party as well. Perhaps, if you'd attend my family's party and entertained some guest with some of your stories. I'd attend your party and take your club into high consideration."

If professor Slughorn came to my Christmas party it's a fair chance that he'd tell my father about all of my accomplishments in his class. Validation from my father was my favorite and so was Christmas -- I'd enjoy having two of my favorite things in the same night.

The older man looked very hesitant as if he didn't exactly want too give into my obvious bribery for a moment. But if he did give in twenty years from now, when I owned the biggest hospital around and was the best matron he could say that I was in his club.

From the way his face changed I think that Slughorn's grasp that same concept. "Well I suppose that's not a terrible idea, Moons."

"Than it's set! I'll get you a invitation, professor." A smug smile was now covering my gloss covered lips. "Please feel free to bring a guest along with you sir."
