Harry and Neville are Invited to Slughorn's Lunch on the Train

PAGES: 141-143

A third-year girl delivers invitations to Harry and Neville from Horace Slughorn, inviting them to lunch in compartment C. Though curious, Harry seizes the opportunity to spy on Draco Malfoy on the way to the lunch but finds that the crowded corridors make it impossible to do so. They reach the compartment, where Slughorn has gathered several students with connections to important figures, except for Ginny Weasley, who was invited for her magical prowess.
