When the students show up for this meeting immediately after dinner, some of them may be forgiven for thinking they’ve walked into a Slug Club meeting. There’s a buffet table with finger food and desserts, along with butterbeer and pumpkin juice on hand to drink. The Carrows were looking moderately happy for once in the past 24 hours, and they chat to the students as they arrive and encourage them to help themselves to the food and drink.

Once everyone has arrived and has had a chance to grab something, Amycus gestured for everyone to sit down.

“Alecto and I wanted to thank you all for your efforts in keeping order in the school, we appreciate everything you’ve been doing. We do have the awards ceremony coming up this weekend, of course, but we thought a special treat was in order after everyone’s hard work yesterday!” Alecto giggled in agreement, both of them smiling broadly to the students.

“We’ve been very pleased with those of you who have started the extra Dark Arts tutoring with Amycus, you’re all showing great promise!”

“I’d also like to invite Miss Capper and Miss Bulstrode to join us, your efforts yesterday to help apprehend the ridiculous pranksters yesterday have not gone unnoticed.” Amycus cast a glance over the rest of the group. “And there is always more room in the class for those who distinguish themselves! Never fear.”

“Now!” Alecto clapped her hands together. “That’s enough serious business for now. Please, eat and enjoy yourselves! And keep up all that hard work.”

She set a very old Weird Sisters album on to play while returning to speak to her brother, keeping an eye on everyone while also being available for the students to talk to while they were there.

Wasn’t this a nice treat everyone?
