The meeting of the Slug club was weird and confusing for Harry, Blaise, Neville, McLaggen, Belby, Malfoy and Ginny. Everyone here seemed to have been invited because they were connected to somebody well-known or influential – everyone except Ginny, who had been invited because of a particularly marvellous bat-bogey hex that Slughorn had seen her cast. There was a lot of questions and conversations and everyone was just as confused to be there as Harry was.
