I took Lucius Malfoy's hand in mine and allowed him to guide me to entrance hall. We floated down the stairs to the ballroom floor, my scarlet floor length gown swirling around my legs. I ignored the glares that I received as Lucius led me to the dance floor.
'Enjoying yourself, my little lioness?' He crooned in my ear. I shuddered delicately as he toyed with one of the loose curls that were hanging down my back. 'I'd enjoy myself wherever you take me.' I whispered back.
He led me around the ballroom in a graceful waltz, his cloak wrapping around us like a soft blanket. He moved his hand from my lower back to my waist as the music changed. A tango had started. 'This dress is too formal for a tango, Lucius.' I said as his hand slid down to grip my knee.
I gasped as the dress began to shorten. 'Lucius….' I said in a warning. 'Go with it love.' He murmured as he spun me around. I narrowed my eyes as he began the tango.
'Roxanne
You don't have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
You don't have to sell your body to the night' Lucius sang as we danced on the now empty dance floor. I let him lead even though I was a fair dancer myself.
He turned me away from him and I started to dance away from him when another voice joined his. I looked up to see Severus dressed in black slacks and a white button down shirt, his teaching robes no where to be found.
'His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand' He sang as he approached me. I took his outstretched hand and let him twirl me around the floor and passed Harry, Ron, and Lucius. 'What are you doing here?' I asked. 'I've come to realize that I still love you Hermione. I can't the stand the thought of my best friend's hands on you.' He murmured in my ear before kissing my neck.
Lucius stepped in and took me back from Severus. I gave him an apologetic look as Lucius swirled me away.
'(Roxanne)
Why does my heart cry?
(Roxanne)
Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me
And please believe me when I say I love you.' Lucius and Severus sang together. Severus took me back long enough to dip me. I felt breathless.
'Yo que te quiero tanto, qué voy ha hacer
Me dejaste, me dejaste
En un tango
En el alma se me fue
Se me fue el corazon
Ya no tengo ganas de vivir
Porque no te puedo convencer
Que no te vendas Roxanne.' Severus said. I looked at him in amazement. I'd known this man, had been married to this man for several years and had not realized that he'd spoken in any other language beside English and French. I stood before both men and looked at both of them.
Neither of them were the same. Where one was fair, the other was dark. Where one was rough, the other was soft. I watched as they circled me, like buzzards did a dying animal. I tried to back away, but they continued to follow me.
'(Roxanne)
Why does my heart cry?
(Roxanne)
Feelings I can't fight
(Roxanne)
You don't have to put on that red light
Roxanne
(Roxanne)
(Roxanne)' They sang together. I felt hot and couldn't breath. I clutched my hand to my chest and looked at both of them. I felt my eyes rolled back in my head as my knees gave out. I was only vaguely aware of the fact that Severus had caught me as I fell in a dead faint.
