Horace Slughorn came rushing over to the classroom just then, still in his cloak and hat. Flakes of snow dotted his shoulders and the brim of his hat.
"My goodness, students, I'm so sorry!" he gasped. "I was on a brief errand in town and was delayed by a sudden snow squall. Can you believe it? Snow, and it's only the first week of November!"
He opened the office door and began to usher them all inside. "Come in, come in. The house elves will be delivering the food soon."

Sam grinned distractedly when Slughorn arrived and turned to enter his office with the other students. Finally they would get down to what all this nonsense was about. She was secretly a bit excited but she wouldn't let anyone know that. Though she did frown a bit thoughtfully.
"Hmm...such a shame that Charlotte would miss this.."

Kassia was late to the meeting but apparently no more so than Professor Slughorn so she gathered it was alright as she too made her way in with the rest of them.
Aware that the situation most likely called for elegant wear she chose a white floor length gown that was simple enough, her hair half up half down with ringlets circling her face and a white transparent wrap to go around her neck and behind her bare shoulders. She looked elegant and sophisticated. The small panic of being late did good to bring some color out in her cheeks but otherwise she looked as pretty as ever. She glanced around for her other siblings expecting them to be there.

Thane saw his cousin Kassia arrive right before him though he didn't follow her to the crowd of Slytherins that were making their way into the room. Instead he sought out Regina who he saw was already there. He was happy to see her and he went to say hello and take her hand before leading her into the classroom with a blush on his face. He hoped that by holding his hand she wouldn't trip.

Kassia waved discreetly at Thane but then he went to see Regina and she sighed waiting for her other cousins or even her sister to arrive, it didn't even occur to her that they might not be invited of course they were invited.

Gwen was the next to come down, though she really didn't want to come tonight. It seemed like a complete waste of time, and she would rather be in the common room doing just about anything else.
Since she had no significant other to meet, she caught Kassia's eyes and smiled at her cousin.

Oh thank Merlin. Kassia sidled next to her cousin when she came in the door, " Hi Gwen." she murmured in a lower tone so not to be heard over the din. She glanced around, they were cousins and the whole Slytherin vs Gryffindor thing didn't really apply between family.

Gwen smiled and gave Kassia a hug. "Hey, Kass," she said, glad to have someone in this madness to talk to.
"How long have you been here? Have I missed anything?" She doubted it, but she was willing to be surprised.

"Not that I'm aware of." she told her, "Actually the professor just got here too so I don't think we missed anything but idle chit chat." she smiled. "You look nice." she complimented.

Xavier arrived for the meeting of the Slug Club a little late. Everyone seemed to still be getting settled, and the food hadn't been served yet, so he figured he wasn't too late. He glanced around and saw Gwen and Thane had already arrived. Gwen was standing with his cousin Kassia, and he walked over to the m, his hands in his pockets. "Hey, Gwen, hey Kass," he said in a quiet voice. "Anyone know what this thing's all about?"

"Thank you," Gwen told her cousin. "And you look stunning... you put a bit more effort into this than I did," she added with a laugh when her brother arrived.
"Hey Xav."
She shook her head. "No idea, but looking around, it's mostly pureblood names that are here."

Kassia saw her other cousin come in and smiled, she wished she had more brothers like Gwen. Merlin to be the only sister in that large of a family had to have some perks. Instead she had two sisters who were a handful and a older brother who was the best really. Still since the cousins were close she kind of pretended to share sibling hood with them all.
"Hey Xav, you're looking Dapper." as he asked his questions she shrugged.

Instead he sought out Regina who he saw was already there. He was happy to see her and he went to say hello and take her hand before leading her into the classroom with a blush on his face. He hoped that by holding his hand she wouldn't trip. Regina finished talking to Rori and Leo when Thane appeared and took her hand. She blushed furiously. It was the first time that they had really held hands in front of a group of people. She smiled at his greeting. As he was leading her into the classroom, Regina gave a small wave to the group she was standing in and followed Thane in. She didn't worry about her feet at all, she was too distracted by him. "How are you," she finally said. |

Ophelia liked to make an entrance, so she delayed coming to the Slug Club meeting for as long as possible. She wore her hair up in a carefully constructed crown of curls, and dressed in a pretty pink dress robe, that was made to look like a muggle dress. She thought of herself as a princess, and she felt it was appropriate to dress as one. If she hadn't thought it to be a little over the top, she probably would have worn a tiara.
She arrived at the meeting just after everyone had gone inside, and there was a slight hush in the air. Taking a deep breath, she entered the room as if she were a queen getting ready to attend to her subjects. She glanced around and saw her sister, and a few of her cousins milling around. But she had no desire to stand with them; she already knew them perfectly well and could talk to them whenever she wanted. She was here to mingle and meet people, especially boys. So she moved to an area close to the middle of the room, near the Slytherins. Then she pouted prettily, hoping she would get someone's attention.

Samantha saw a crowd coming in after that and she wasn't surprised that it was one large family the Burkes, the Scotts of course.
Then a pink cloud entered the room giving new meaning to the word princess. My how Ophelia would have done at Beauxbatons. She smiled as the girl neared, "Your robes are lovely Miss Burke." they hadn't been properly introduced yet and good manners insisted she wait to be given permission to use the girl's first name.
Now there was a story...hmm..she would have to approach their mother of course, but they were looking for a new spotlight for their next issue. The magazine wanted her she refused, but maybe a spread on all the champions? She thought it rather low taste to put herself in her own magazine.

Kassia watched her sister make her entrance and smiled a little, the girl did love theatrics, but instead of heading over towards family she went towards the Slytherin. A small "oh dear" was silently voiced in her expression and she bit her lip. She knew her sister had a thing for...well boys in general, but Papa would filet all of them alive if one of them touched his darling daughter.

Gwen frowned while Kassia murmured "Oh dear."
"I thought she wasn't even allowed to look at Rabastan... why is she standing so close to his group?" She asked. But, since she was a cousin, she stayed out of it. She wasn't going to tell Fee what to do.

"Well...Fee's a princess...through and through, you try telling her anything and well..excuse me." she said apologetically towards her cousins while going to join Fee's side. She made her polite curtsies and nods to the circle, perhaps if she was there Fee wouldn't cause a scene.

Noah stalked into the room and spotted Horace almost immediately. He made a beeline to the teacher and said shortly,
"excuse me, Professor Slughorn? I'm engaged in a prior commimtment and I regret to inform you that I will not be able to attend this meeting. Perhaps, can I join you in the next?"

Ophelia turned to Samantha... not exactly the kind of attention she'd been hoping for, but any compliment was music to Fee's ears. "Thank you!" she said brightly. "You're Samantha, right? The Slytherin champion. How very exciting for you."
As Kassia approached, she turned to her sister, who was probably trying to interfere with her attempts to get some attention from a boy. Stupid interfering sisters. "Hi, Kass," she said. "I see you were invited, too." Of course, she should have known that her sister would be invited, since Slughorn wouldn't dare have an exclusive party without inviting all of the Burkes. But she wanted Kassia to back off. How was she to get the attention she deserved with her sister riding on her coattails?
