Life is a Cabaret
"Come on Severus this will be fun." Lucius smirked as he nodded to the door man.
"Lucius I hardly think coming to a, ahem, 'Gentleman's Club' called 'Deadly Poison' can be described as fun." Severus said standing with his arms crossed looking at the outside of the club that was in the centre of Knockturn Alley.
Lucius didn't pay much attention to Severus' comment and merely strode up to the door and walked through. Dejectedly Severus followed suite. Inside it wasn't as rancid as was to be expected. It was dark and lit by candles.
"Evening Mr. Malfoy, your usual table?" the man behind the desk asked taking Lucius cloak.
Severus looked at Lucius with a raised eyebrow.
"Usual table? Come here often?" Severus said handing his own cloak over.
"Not if I can help it," Lucius smirked as he followed the man.
Severus rolled his eyes at his friend usual way of turning a simple phrase into a double entendre and following the wake of Lucius.
In the large hall there was a dance floor at the centre and a stage at one end. Lucius usual table was next tot the stage and also the steps down to the dance floor. The dance floor of course wasn't for the men, just the dancers that were hired here. It was rather tastefully decorated, mahogany and ebony wood everywhere and emerald green table clothes and velvet curtains. As usual it exuded Slytherin pride; well the patrons were probably Slytherins once.
"Not as bad as you thought then?" Lucius said signaling to a scantily dressed waitress. "Two double scotches, with ice." He said and watched the girl walk away.
"I'll admit it's not as sleazy as I had expected but it's not my idea of fun. It's a glorified brothel, no more." Severus said.
"Well dear friend wait until the show starts, they don't call it deadly poison for no reason. This place is addictive, and it kills your finances slowly. A better name would be 'the vipers den', hey that's doesn't sound bad. Could be a new business enterprise here!" Lucius mused.
Severus just sat there looking round for his drink, he had the feeling it was going to be a long night and he had to put up with the most pretentious git around. The girl did appear with the drinks in a short time and Severus drank half of his in one mouthful.
"Who's on tonight then?" Lucius asked the girl.
"Meurtrier Couleuvre" the girl said and blew Lucius a kiss as he handed her 2 sickles as a tip.
"The girls here are so friendly." He laughed, taking a sip of his own drink.
"Deadly Viper?" Severus said to himself.
"What's that?" Lucius asked.
"I said, Deadly Viper, that's what Meurtrier Couleuvre means." Severus said.
"Really? I didn't know you spoke French." Lucius said.
"Yes and Latin and a few other languages. " Severus said as the band started.
The curtains opened to reveal a girl sat on a chair, only the chair had its back facing the audience and she straddled it so she was facing forward. She had a top hat on and she was looking at the floor so you couldn't see her face, her hand was in front of it.
Mama
The girl looked up and you could see she had an emerald green mask that just covered her eyes.
Thinks I'm living in a convent,
A secluded little convent
In the southern part of France.
The last line was said with an American accent. She rose off the sit, her legs still either side of the chair but now she was standing. She put one leg in the edge of the chair and pushed it away with her foot.
Mama
Doesn't even have an inkling
That I'm working in a Nightclub
She turned so she had her back to the audience, looked over her shoulder and wiggled her bum, clad in red lace pants.
In a pair of lacy pants.
She made her way sexily down the steps tot the dance floor. And sat on the knee of the man nearest the stage. He looked like Christmas had come early. She leaned back into his arms and started to draw patterns on his front with her finger with a mock pleading look on her face.
So please, sir.
If you run into my Mama,
Don't reveal my indiscretion,
Give a working girl a chance.
She jumped up and put her finger on her lips.
Hush up,
Don't tell Mama,
Shush up,
Don't tell Mama...
Don't tell Mama,
Whatever you do.
She pointed at Lucius and beckoned him to her.
If you had a secret,
You bet I would keep it.
I would never tell on you.
He got to her and she faced him and dropped to her knees like she was begging with him.
I'm breaking every promise that I gave her,
So won't you kindly do a girl
When we thought she was about to unzip his trousers she turns to someone else and grins.
A great big favor?
She got up and pushed Lucius back towards the direction of his seat.
And please, my sweet potato,
Keep this from the Mater,
Pointing at someone else she leant forward, revealing her chest that threatened to fall out of the corset.
Though my dance
Is not against the law.
Again wiggling her bum. Then turning and doing large arms gestures, point and shaking her head.
You can tell my Papa, that's all right,
'Cause he comes in here every night,
But don't tell Mama what you saw!
She half skipped, half tap danced across to Severus and straddled him like had done the chair. And put her hands on his chest, grinning at the rest of the audience.
Mama
Thinks I'm on a tour of Europe,
With a couple of my school chums
And a lady chaperone.
Pulled her hands into a shocked gestured either side her face and stood up still straddling him.
Mama
Doesn't even have an inkling
That I left them all in Antwerp
And I'm touring on my own.
Leaning in she kissed and then got off his lap pulled his knees apart and dropped to her knees again, in a praying position with her clasped hands resting on his crotch.
So please, Sir
If you run into my Mama
Don't reveal my indiscretion.
She got up and walked away looking back over her shoulder to him.
Just leave well enough alone.
Finger on lips and leant forward to reveal her breast again.
Hush up,
Don't tell Mama.
Shush up,
Don't tell Mama;
Don't tell Mama
Whatever you do.
She was walking back up to the stage looking back at the men, swinging her hips as she went.
If you had a secret,
You bet I would keep it.
I would never tell on you.
The chairs was back there, she put one foot on the side of it and her hands on her knee, shaking her hips.
You wouldn't want to get me in a pickle,
And have her go and cut me off
Without a nickel.
Stood still but straddling the chair.
So let's trust one another,
Keep this from my mother,
Though I'm still as pure as mountain snow.
She sat down sideways on the chair, leaning back and one leg straight up in the air the other had its foot resting on her knee.
You can tell my Uncle
Here and now
'Cause he's my agent anyhow,
But don't tell Mama what you know.
Let her leg drop so she was sitting but still with her foot on her knee.
You can tell my Grandma
Suits me fine
Cos yesterday she joined the line
But don't tell mama what you know
From her position she swung her leg over the back of the chair, so her back was facing the audience and leant back so she was upside down.
You can tell my brother,
That ain't grim
'Cause if her squeals on me
I'll squeal on him,
She sat up and the chair swung round so she was in her original state at the beginning of the show.
But don't tell Mama, bitte
Don't tell Mama, please, Sir.
Don't tell Mama, what you know.
She leaned in as if confidentially.
If you see my, Mummy, mum's the word!
Then the lights went out on the stage and the curtains drew. The audience went wild. Severus sat there in a state of shock.
"Told you this was a good place!" Lucius laughed.
Severus finished the rest of his drink in one mouthful. Lucius laughed and continued sipping his drink casually. Almost instantly, as if apparated next to them, the waitress was back with another drink for Severus.
"There you are sir." She said leaning over him and laying the drink down, she also had a corset on barely containing her breasts.
Severus handed her a galleon this time and looked at Lucius.
"Your not the only one with money." He said smiling.
"Don't be so thrifty or they won't go away." Lucius said trying not to smile, or show that Severus had got to him.
"The problem with that is?" Severus asked raising an eyebrow.
The night dragged on and several more acts were on but Severus couldn't get the first girl out of his head. She seemed familiar; he didn't know how on earth she could be.
At about 3am Lucius stood up.
"Come on, you can stay at Malfoy manor tonight." Lucius said looking at a drunken Severus.
When Severus got drunk he went very quiet and introspective, and usually did what ever Lucius told him.
"Alright" he said and got up unsteadily.
He followed Lucius out and staggered backwards when the cold night air hit him. Lucius took hold of his arm and apparated them both to Malfoy manor. They reappeared in the guest room at the manor. No one else was home, it was term time so Draco was at school and Narcissa had gone for a pampering weekend in one the spas in Japan.
Using a spell Lucius stripped Severus naked and lay him down on the bed before removing his own clothes. He got into the bed and covered both of them up with the blanket. He leaned forward and kissed Severus who responded immediately. The night had had them both aroused to the point of bursting so why go it solo when the other was there to help?
Lucius was already hard when he kissed Severus and a drunken Severus was not going to protest too much. Hell, Lucius would place money on the fact that Severus enjoyed it as much as he enjoyed women.
