WHO: Purebloods. I think the majority would have been invited, save Bilius? The Burke's would like to rub all your faces in how you're not as rich and fabulous and glamorous as them, thanks! And the token halfbloods, Felicity, on provision Theia "keeps an eye on her." and Lance. And Tom, but everyone thinks he is pure, so whatever.
WHERE: Hogsmeade, a private home.
WHAT: The 1920s themed Burke-Lestrange engagement party as thrown, organised, and done by Belvina Black-Burke, mother of the groom.

WHAT: Oh not much. Just unleashing some horror.

(   )

WHO: The Inner Circle
WHEN: 31 January 1943, past curfew.
WHERE: Second floor girls' bathroom, then the CHAMBER OF SECRETS.
WHAT: Being shits. Soundtrack.

Just as Potions ended, each of the Inner Circle members would have discovered a piece of parchment on top of their notes. In Tom's writing, it said:

If you wish to enter the Chamber: 10:15 PM, second floor girls' bathroom. Disillusion yourselves.

After they had left the classroom and read it twice, the note dissolved into a puff of smoke. Sucks for you if you forgot what it said!

At the appointed time, Tom was waiting in the bathroom. Because he waited for everyone to arrive, he was lurking, Disillusioned, in a corner. Because he was nearly invisible, he probably gave them all a bit of a fright when he seemed to appear out of nowhere. But that's What Tom Does.

After this, he Opened the Chamber, so that the sink in Myrtle's bathroom opened into a tunnel. This required speaking Parseltongue, which the IC has seen him do before, but without a snake, probably sounds very creepy. Tom floated lazily down the tunnel, but the other boys could have slid down if they preferred to take Hogwarts' biggest, dirtiest slippy slide.

At the bottom, Tom had cleaned up most of the bones littering the Chamber, though already they were beginning to accumulate again. He made the IC wait in the antechamber while he told the basilisk to keep her eyes closed, as he had friends here and some of them could be rather dim.

Then, he let them into the great cavern with the statue of Slytherin and the giant snake, and they, IDK, frolicked and tried Cruciating some mice running around.

WHO: Tom Riddle,and a Not So Surprise Guest.
WHERE: Hogwarts.
WHEN: Various points in time between 1938 and 26 January 1943.
WHAT: Nothing good ever happens when Tom gets what he wants. Also, he is a drama queen.

( He was becoming desperate; he was running out of time. )

WHO: The Slug Club + Dates
WHAT: Sluggy's Christmas Party!
WHEN: 8 o'clock to whenever, 16 December 1942
WHERE: Slughorn's office.

Welcome to Professor Slughorn's annual Christmas party! All of the Slug Club was invited, and got to bring a date if they so desired.

Rationing has made the party less extravagant than in years past, but nevertheless, Sluggy had managed to drag up a enormous caskets of mead and butterbeer for the party. There was victory cake, scones, finger sandwiches (cucumber, chicken and tarragon, egg), and some various other snacks. There were many several guests, including brand spanking new Kestrals Chaser Darren O'Hare, Head of the Department of Intermagical Cooperation Niles Derwent, and popular romance novelist Berenice Bloxam.

There was enough booze for everyone to get pleasantly drunk. When Barty and Minerva showed up, Slughorn laughed genially and asked them to stay. He looked at Algie and saw trouble, though, and had Pringle escort him back to Gryffindor. SIGH.

Each Slug Club member left with a small chocolate bar. Yes, it was probably illegally procured. But no one needs to know this.

HAVE FUUN.

Yes, I am putting up a placeholder. You know what this is for.
