"Well, you've twisted my arm, but I dare say that the repayment will be more than I deserve." Slughorn said, "And a perspective, intelligent boy like you must already have a good idea of who is going to be on this list, I doubt there will be all that many surprises." He reached to the pocket of his dressing robe, into the dark green folds, and drew out a carefully folded piece of parchment and passed it over, although he seemed to know all the names it contained already; "Aiden Kiely, Alecto Carrow, Barty Crouch Jr, Basil Cartwright, Gilderoy Lockhart, Gwenog Jones, Mafalda Hopkirk, Quirinus Quirrell, Rabastan Lestrange, Regulus Black." He listed, smiling.
"A good list this year. A pity that Hufflepuff are to be under-represented, but there is little we can do about that. Perhaps next year we will have a more even split." He added, taking another swallow from his glass of wine, moving towards Julius and joining him on the love-seat.
