Neville Longbottom was so excited to finally be invited to a Slug Club meeting. It was true that he wasn’t an official member of the illustrious club yet, but at least he was being a chance. The only problem was – who would be a suitable date for this grand affair? Neville finally decided that the only person he could possibly take was Luna. She was the smartest and most interesting girl he knew and he had a feeling that Professor Slughorn found her fascinating.
Ron Weasley was excited about the meeting, too, because Hermione had finally agreed to let him attend as her guest. Ron had given up hopes of ever joining his friends Harry and Hermione as a member of the exclusive club, but now at least he would be able to say he had been at one of the meetings. Finally! And there was still a chance that he could impress Professor Slughorn, if only he could get him to remember his last name. Which was weird in itself, since Ron’s sister Ginny was a member of the Slug Club and he certainly remembered HER name!
As the party got underway, the guests became excited as it was revealed that the guest of honor was none other than Gwenog Jones, the celebrated captain of the Holyhead Harpies. Ginny felt like her heart was going to burst as she went to speak with Gwenog and instantly struck up a rapport with her. Soon they were making plans to spend an evening listening to the sounds of the Weird Sisters and relaxing with a few butterbeers. Ginny was in a world of her own after this point, ignoring even Harry, and spent the rest of the evening sitting near Gwenog and dreaming of the day she, too, would play for the Harpies.
As Ron looked at his younger sister, a look of disgust began to cross his face. It was so clear that she was playing up to Gwenog just to try and get on the team. Not that he blamed her, of course, but why was he always the one who was left out of things?
Suddenly, Ron reached a decision to try and make his sister and her newfound friend look as ridiculous as possible. He stood up and spontaneously announced, “I would like to dedicate a song to my sister.” He then began to loudly sing “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper, making sure he was completely out of tune in his rendition –

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...
“Join in, Harry!”, he encouraged. Harry knew better, however, and only gave Ron a look which said “cool it”, for which Ginny was no doubt grateful.
“Stop embarrassing me!”, she told her brother, picking up a strawberry and throwing it at Ron.
“Oh, you want to play dirty, do you?”, Ron responded, hurling a nice scoop of chocolate pudding back at Ginny.
It wasn’t long before everyone at the party was throwing some bit of food at everyone else in attendance. Even Gwenog herself was involved, hurling bits of fruit, cheese and meat at the other guests as if they were bludgers. There wasn’t a single person who wasn’t covered with food, literally dripping with it. Even Professor Slughorn himself was unable to avoid the line of fire.
Everyone agreed afterwards that this was the best Slug Club meeting ever.
Now, here are my 5 elements for a new challenge (heehee!) –
1. One of the key characters must be a pink octopus named Seymour.
2. Harry, under the influence of a love potion, will swear his undying love for Pansy Parkinson.
3. Draco will challenge Harry to a duel, where the loser must consume a giant pickle.
4. Professor Snape will show up and unexpectedly sing “Best of Both Worlds” by Hannah Montana.
5. Butterscotch sundaes will be eaten by all.
