Potioncat:
Was he trying to crash Slughorn's party? I think he was either going 
to or coming from the RoR at the time. If I'm right, he used the 
party as as an excuse when Filch caught him out of bounds, but never 
expected for Filch to follow up.  His grand entrance before Snape and 
Slughorn must have been particularly humilating for him. 

Poor thing.
