Chapter 1
Burlesque
AN: Hello there. I got the idea for this fic after seeing the movie Burlesque. It won't be like the movie though I will use music from it. There will be OCC from the characters and will be slightly AU. This fic will be music based as I do like to include music in my writing for music is my greatest inspiration. This story will contain adult themes. I own nothing. Enjoy!
Draco didn't know how he had allowed Blaise to talk him into coming to this muggle club but he had promised a good time. So here he sat at a table nursing a whiskey waiting for the head lining performer to make her appearance. Blaise had promised Draco that he would not be disappointed and he hoped he wouldn't seeing as how he needed a distraction from his annoying, clinging girlfriend Pansy.
"So who is this girl anyways?" Draco asked looking about the dark burlesque club looking bored,
"No one knows where she came from but she is a hottie and has an amazing voice. Just relax and enjoy yourself you will like her." Blaise said calling the waitress over and ordering another round of drinks. The lights all went down around them and lights came up on stage. There were a few girls all in corsets facing away from them all sitting in chairs.
It's a cold and crazy world
That's raging outside
But baby, me and all my girls
Are bringin' on the fire
Show a little leg
Gotta shimmy your chest
It's a life, it's a style, it's need
Is burlesque
The woman singing had an amazing voice Draco couldn't wait to see what she looked like. The girls swung around on there chairs legs resting across the backs. Draco couldn't make out her face because she had a hat half draped across her eyes. Her brown curly hair big and full her lips bright red.
E-X-P-R-E-S-S
Love
Sex
Ladies no regrets
The girls got up from the chairs and stood to the sides of the chairs as she sang hitting the chairs to the beat. Dipping their hips swaying and flipping their hair to the music. Draco had seen stripping but nothing like this. This made you want for more rather than thinking I have seen this before.
E-X-P-R-E-S-S
Love
Sex
Ladies no regrets
The girl threw off her hat into the crowd and dipped down flipping her hair about. This woman was like sex on hard wood Draco had decided. She moved sensually and he finally got a look at her full outfit. She wore a black and red stripped corset with black frilly hot shorts, black fishnet stockings and black pumps. He had never much been a fan of the color red but right now he didn't care. Red was good in his book from now on.
Been holdin' back for quite some time Fasten up It's a passion,
And finally the moment's right

Why?
An emotion,

The girls all converged together dipping and swaying to the beat. Running their hands along not only there bodies but each others as if they were part of a large orgy. Draco couldn't keep his eyes off of the stage. Something about that lead girl seemed so familiar.

The song ended and the dancers left the stage for the next act to come on much to Draco's disappointment.
"Well what did you think? Good right mate?" Blaise said elbowing Draco who just nodded. "Yes well wait til you meet her I have arranged for her to come say hello to us." Blaise announced and Draco just looked at his best friend. She was going to be coming here. Draco thanked Slytherin that he had dress well this evening opting for a dark grey button down and black dress pants and lose tie. Even causal he knew he looked amazing. That's when she came out and started making her way to their table stopping here and there to say hello to the regulars that came in. The closer she got to their table the more Draco's heart began to pound he had never seen a woman so beautiful. Though he got the shock of his life when she was finally at there table. The beautiful woman who had just been up on stage was none other then Hermione Granger. Draco mentally slapped himself for having the thoughts he had about the woman he had just seen on stage.
"Granger?" Draco managed to spit out as she was shaking hands with Blaise. Hermione looked over at him and gasped in realization at who was at the table.
"Malfoy?" she replied petrified. Draco couldn't believe what he was looking at. Hermione Granger in a corset and hot shorts. He was sure that she had been working for the ministry seeing how she was the brightest witch of their age. Oh how the mighty have fallen he mused. "What in the name of all that is good and holy are you doing?" she asked her voice dripping with malice. He smirked at her looking her up and down.
"I could ask you the same thing. Blaise mate I can't believe you never realized who this was." Draco said looking to his Italian friend. Blaise had never been particularly observant but how could you miss who this was.
"Who said I hadn't. I just never mentioned for I did not think it was relevant. We have all grown up and she is a wonderful performer." Blaise said smiling at Hermione.
"Thank you must I must be going now." And with that Hermione left with out another. She couldn't believe what had happened she was sure that he was going to make her life miserable now and the one place where she could get away from the wizarding world was sure to be taken from her soon she thought.
"We must come here again." Draco stated to his friend downing the remainder of his
whiskey.
Back stage Hermione was trying to calm herself. She had asked for two shots of Don Patron to be brought back to her. As soon as she had them she knocked both back reviling in the feeling it gave. Ever since the war she had begun to drink something chronic. It was the only thing that kept the pain away. Kept the memories of death and lost ones. She believed she would have been fine if her parents hadn't died because she had been foolish and brought them back before all the death eaters were caught. It was her fault they died and then her and Ron breaking up and now hating each other. Harry hardly spoke to her after she told him that she was leaving the wizarding world because she couldn't stand to be part of a world that had caused her so much pain. So now she was reduced to dancing half naked for strangers. It was about the only thing she could find seeing as how she didn't have a degree in anything because she had gone to wizarding school. But it paid well and free boozes for the most part and though she had made friends with the girls she danced with and liked what she did she had no fulfillment in her life. She was now a hard hearted woman no longer the soft warm motherly figure that those who known her knew her to be. She shut out the world and didn't let herself get close to anyone. The loss hurt too much and she wouldn't have it again. And then Draco Malfoy had to walk in here and bring back the memories she had been trying to forget since the war ended two years ago. She hoped he wouldn't spread the news around that she was working here but she didn't trust him as far as she could throw him as they say.
When Hermione got home that night she went to her closet and pulled out a thin long box. She blew the dust off of it that had accumulated over the years. She opened the box and there lay her wand. She ran her fingers over it and felt the magic pulse out to her calling her to pick it up and cast a spell any spell. Hermione sighed and placed the box far back in her closet and went to her kitchen and pulled out a bottle of wine and proceeded to drink the whole thing before going to bed. Tomorrow would tell if she was going to have to uproot her life and move on because Malfoy couldn't keep his mouth shut. She prayed to any deity that would listen that he wouldn't.
