"Whether it had been built that way, or because he had used magical trickery to make it so, Slughorn's office was much larger than the usual teacher's study."
Harry Potter's description[src]

Horace Slughorn's office was located on Hogwarts Castle's Sixth floor.[1]

Description[]

Slughorn's Second office

Fairly roomy, this office included a fireplace with two large sofas surrounding it, a round dinner table big enough to sit ten people and access to a private balcony. It had enough space to hold a Christmas party.[1]

History[]

Under Horace Slughorn[]

It was in this office Slughorn held dinner parties with his newly reinstated Slug Club.[2] More notably, this office held a Christmas party on 20 December, 1996.[1]

Ron and Harry Potter at Slughorn's office

On 1 March, 1997, Harry brought Ron, who had accidently consumed several of Romilda Vane's Love Potion spiked Chocolate Cauldrons thinking they had been given to him as a gift for his seventeenth birthday to the office so that Professor Slughorn could provide Ron with an antidote.[3] After asking if the potion had had time to strengthen, Slughorn was able to brew a proper antidote. After taking the antidote, Slughorn shared a glass of oak-matured mead, with them as a pick-up for Ron as the effects of the love potion wore off.[3] However, the mead had been poisoned by Madam Rosmerta who had been under the influence of the Imperius Curse by Draco Malfoy as part of his plan to assassinate Dumbledore.[4] Harry was able to save Ron's life by the use of a Bezoar to counteract the poison as he had read in the Half-Blood Prince's copy of Advanced Potion-Making.[3]
