"All hands on deck" is a nautical term meaning "everyone needs to help [to get a job done]." Slughorn says this in jest to Hermione as he is sloshing his butterbeer all over the table in front of her, as if to say "watch out." Similarly, a ship's first mate might holler "all hands on deck" during a storm, in which water might be splashing over the sides of the ship, and the crew is needed to bail the water out, secure the lines, lower the sails, et cetera.
