Chapter 122: Slug Club

The little incident at the Quidditch match was nearly forgotten by all but in Edwin's mind the incident is still fresh and could be replayed, Edwin tried to find a way to help Theodore and Draco in their difficult situation but they hid all their emotions and pretend everything was okay.

Edwin wanted to tell them that he knew what they're going through because he's a seer but remembering the Quidditch match he decided against it, but Edwin is still hopeful that he can change their minds before their job would be done.

Just outside of the Hogwarts ground Edwin and his friends were walking to Hogsmeade due to Luna not showing up on time, the group was wearing their snow clothes and some headphones that also serve as earmuffs.

"Did anyone else get invited to Slughorn's party?" Edwin asked looking at the quite Draco and Theodore.

"I got Invited," Neville said as he walked faster," He said I got some talent… Thanks again Edwin"

"Don't know what you're talking about" Edwin started looking at everyone else but they shook their heads as they didn't get an invite, but they each had a reason to be their every one of them.

The group made their usual walk around the snow-filled Hogsmeade and they made their final destination the new Ice-cream pallor," Well isn't it Edwin and Isabella" Ollie said with a great smile showing everyone to a table outside.

"You don't have to worry, it's charmed" Ollie stated knocking the table and it instantly became warm" self-heating table perfect for the snow but terrible for the ice-cream"

"Can I have some ice-cream Coffee flavor" Edwin stated and everyone else went and order.

Soon Ollie brought back the ice-creams placing it on some cold placeholder so it won't melt, "Enjoy your ice-cream" Ollie said talking a glance at Edwin," and it may be none of my business but you two shout try to catch some rest"

"Oh" Edwin exclaimed as he looked at Theodore and Draco, their eyes were dark and looked as though it was sinking into their skulls" I believe Ollie is right you two should get some rest"

"We will" The two replied in sync as they started to eat their ice-cream.

"Why do you choose Coffee flavor every time" Isabella stated glancing over to Edwin's Ice-cream.

"I like it "

"Try this" Isabella said taking Edwin's ice-cream and giving him hers" it's a fruit mix, with each spoon you can taste a different flavor"

"But my coffee" Edwin tried to argue but Isabella would hear a word of it" Draco, Theodore are you two doing okay?"

"We're fine" Theodore replied with a forced smile" and where's Ysabel?"

"She's banned for the rest of the year" Daphne replied "she and Ginny bombed Zachariah and won't be coming to Hogsmeade till next month"

Luna who would now be the only commentator had a smile on her face with the mention of Zachariah's trouble," he just had a little accident"

For the rest of the day, Edwin tried to get Draco and Theodore to say something but they wouldn't mention anything closely to what Edwin needed to hear.

Time passed and the night before the Hogwarts Express would be leaving, Slughorn is holding his partly and Edwin had a person just in mind that he wanted to take, but when he started to look for her she was nowhere to be seen," Have you seen Isabella" Edwin asked Pansy who was busy telling everyone of her plans.

"Check the Hospital ward heard she was green in the face" Pansy replied.

Edwin walked much faster than he would be making his way to the hospital wing" Excuse me Madam Pomfrey is Isabella here"

"She not feeling well got a bad end of a prank" Madam Pomfrey replied." Almost the same as yours"

"Huh" Edwin replied thinking of his poison" Can I see her"

Madam Pomfrey let Edwin in without giving him any warning as Isabella wasn't in a bad condition" Isabella" Edwin called out and Isabella tried to answer but only a terrible sound of her vomiting could be heard.

"yeas" Isabella answered showing her that turned green.

"Is it that bad" Edwin asked taking a seat on the bed but he wasn't too close to her.

"I'm green and pucking my guts out" Isabella shouted as she pushed her head in the bucket." What do you want"

"I have a plus one to Slughorn party and was wondering if you would have gone with me" Edwin stated going closer to the green Isabella.

"I would love to," Isabella said with an excited tone but her smile disappears" I'm too green to go"

"I'll take Luna or Daphne" Edwin stated looking at Isabella who seems more upset about not going than being sick, Edwin staid for a while trying to figure out who pranked them.

"I can remember feeling bad when I came back from Hogsmeade" Isabella replied resting her head on Edwin's shoulder as her vomiting is almost over.

"the same thing happened to me," Edwin said thinking back what he ate that day" it could be the ice-cream, that day I had the same Coffee Ice-cream, nah it can't be why would- "

Edwin looked down to see Isabella smiling, he could help but to smile" Edwin times up, "Madam Pomfrey said as she started to chase Edwin.

"hope you feel better soon" Edwin shouted walking out of the hospital ward, Edwin went and asked Luan to go and she happily agreed to go as friends.

Edwin met Luna just outside of Slughorn's party that is being held in the dungeon," you look great" Edwin stated looking at Luna Silver robe-dress with her neatly plated and colorful flowers braided in.

"Thank you Daphne dressed me" Luna blankly replied taking Edwin's hands, even though the party is being held in the dungeon it looks nothing like one the dungeon aspect was entirely removed.

The room looked as though it is in a tent and had gold and emerald dropping from the ceiling, the food was being served on a silver plate and even though a bit crowded the room was cool and had a high society feeling.

"Luna" Hermione called out show her two empty sits.

"Hermione who are you with," Luna asked looking at Harry and Ginny sitting near Hermione.

"Myself" Hermione replied with a smile.

The party started off slow with food and drinks being served but when the food was finished being served Slughorn tapped his glass to make an announcement.

"Everyone I would like to welcome you to our last dinner of the year" Slughorn stated and there was clapping'" I hope everyone would have a great time here and learn and meet your past peers"

Slughorn went about introducing everyone to some of his old students that made it big trying to pull Harry into his club, Edwin had to admit that joining the slug club would be beneficial to him.

"Oh there he is the Triwizard Champion "Slughorn stated out loud to gain attention and he did older members of the slug club started to introduce themselves to Edwin.

Edwin could tell that Slughorn was moving closer to Harry and Harry was trying to move further away from going toward Neville and Hanna," Hermione you seem happy" Luna started looking at the smiling Hermione.

"I am" Hermione replied and the two begun to talk.

Edwin felt truly bored at the party and his mind begun to wander back to Isabella, Draco, and Theodore," So what do you think about joining" Slughorn asked.

"I would love to but I have a request" Edwin stated and Slughorn didn't seem surprised." I have some friends that is, well they would be great in this club"

"Well tell me their names" Slughorn replied in an excited tone.

"Theodore Nott, Draco Malfoy, Daphne Greengrass, Isabella Fiendfeild and Luna Lovegood"

"Oh dear" Slughorn quaked" I will have to see about Miss Lovegood and Fiendfeild"

"What about" Edwin could get to finish his sentence as he figured out why Slughorn didn't mention the rest." Alright Professor"

"But it's not their fault" Edwin mutter staring at his glass" well at least not as yet"
