The year is 1977, and Professor Slughorn is pulling out all the stops to celebrate! On the first night of school after the winter holidays at precisely 8:00 PM, the potions master is hosting a New Year party for the members of his illustrious Slug Club. Slughorn’s office has been transformed into a winter wonderland for the occasion. Blue, white, and silver banners and streamers hand from the walls, and a gentle snow falling from the ceiling sets the mood. Can’t stand cold weather? Not to worry! This is a magical snow guarantee not to freeze you.
Several house elves bustle about, carrying trays full of delicious snacks. There are fancy cheeses, finger sandwiches, canapes, and loaded potato skins , and for those craving something sweet, a selection of cakes, cookies, and chocolates. Thirsty? A table at the back of the room houses glasses of butterbeer and sparkling pumpkin juice, as well as the party’s centerpiece: a hot chocolate fountain.
Come on in, enjoy the party! Who knows? You may even meet a celebrity or two before the night is over!
OOC: This is an OPEN RP. You may make up your own character or play a canon Marauder era character. Canon characters will be claimed on a first come,first serve basis. Please note that the house elves are NOT rped; feel free to rp your charries taking food from the trays.
Please post a brief bio of your charrie in your first post, and indicate their purpose at the party (Slug Club members, plus ones, wizarding world celebrities, Slughorn's friends/former students, random students who decided to gatecrash, etc.) Happy RPing!

SPOILER!!: Regulus Black
Model: Ryan McCartan
Post color: dark slate gray (#2F4F4F)
Name: Regulus Arcturus Black Nicknames: Reg, Reggie (only his mother is allowed to call him this!) Age: 15 Residence: 12 Grimmauld Place Heritage: Pureblood House: Slytherin Attending party as: Slug Club member
Hair: black Eyes: brown Height: 5’7 Build: lean
Wand: 113/4” Cedar & dragon heartstring Boggart: his other disowning him Patronus: incorporeal Erised: his family together and happy
Personality: Regulus’s personality is split into two sides that are constantly at odds; as such, he lives in a state of perpetual conflict. Outwardly, he appears confident, self-assured, and more than a little snobbish, but that cocky veneer hides a softer side that few get to see. Regulus has an overwhelming need to be liked. He will do anything to earn his family’s admiration, even when his conscience tells him otherwise. He is fiercely loyal to those he cares about and has no respect for those he deems traitors.
History
As a member of the noble and most ancient house of Black, Regulus lives a pampered lifestyle. He is the youngest and favorite son of Walburga and Orion Black, a fact about which his parents are not shy. Of all his family, Regulus is closest to his mother, who he both idolizes and fears, but being the favorite in one of the most notorious wizard families in Britain comes with a price. From an early age, Regulus was indoctrinated into his parents’ pureblood mania, and as he grew, so did the expectation that he carry on his family’s traditions and join Lord Voldemort’s cause.
As a child, Regulus looked up to his older brother, Sirius. Unlike him, Sirius openly resisted their parents’ traditions- something which Regulus both resented and secretly envied- and the pair slowly drifted apart. Regulus hoped that Hogwarts would help mend his relationship with his brother, but his hopes were dashed. While Regulus was sorted into Slytherin like the rest of his family, Sirius went to Gryffindor instead. After this, Sirius became more rebellious than ever, leading to increased tensions within the family. Things finally came to a head when Sirius ran away from home and was immediately disowned. Now all the expectations their parents once placed on Sirius fall to Regulus instead. He feels it’s his responsibility to bring his family back together, no matter what the cost.
Regulus Arcturus Black entered Slughorn's office standing tall and proud, a smile plastered on his face. From the outside looking in, he appeared everything a son of the noble and most ancient house of Black should be... because that's all his life was: keeping up appearances. He'd gotten good at it by this point. He greeted Professor Slughorn and the other guests with a polite hello before making a beeline for the drink table.
Along the way, he passed a house elf carrying a tray of sandwiches. He picked one up, thanking the elf with a warm smile. He liked house elves. They were generally kind and didn't place the same expectations on you that humans did, but best of all, they were loyal to a fault. No house elf would betray its family... unlike some people he knew.
As Regulus sipped a butterbeer, he allowed his mind to wander. What was Sirius thinking, abandoning their family? How could he do that to their mother? How could he do that to him... and over the holidays, no less?! Well, at least there was little chance of running into him here tonight.
