Onyx stood straightening his dress robes in the mirror, making sure he looked presentable before walking into the common room. Around him boys nervously pulled at the hems of their jackets and girls made sure that every hair was in place. Shaking his head with a chuckled he made his way to the waiting room outside the great hall. There he found Lucius, Narcissa, and Bellatrix quietly talking amongst themselves. With a smile Onyx walked over and took Bellatrix's hand, kissing the palm as he presented her with a black rose corsage.
"For you my dear lady." Onyx chuckled as Bellatrix broke into a large smile. She quickly slipped it on, holding her hand up to admire it with delight.
"It's perfect Onyx." she beamed.
"Shall we go in now?" Lucius asked motioning towards the doors. With a nod the boys linked arms with their dates and walked in, their heads held high from years of experience. All around them boys with sweaty palms held on to girls with butterfly infested stomachs, yet the four that walked into the room were completely fine. Finding a nearby table they sat down and surveyed the scene, the music was bad and everyone was too high strung to actually have fun.
"Yes, this certainly is a fun time." Onyx sighed, rolling his eyes.
"Well I'm enjoying myself." Narcissa smiled.
"You have lived a sheltered life haven't you dear?" Onyx chuckled, Bellatrix letting out a chuckle as Lucius turned to hide a grin.
"We attend parties like this all time, I would think you would be used to them." Narcissa replied cooly, her eyes narrowing.
"That's the point." Onyx answered.
"What do you suggest we do?" Narcissa asked annoyed.
"Why show them what real fun is of course" Onyx grinned standing and extending his hand to Bellatrix. She looked up at him with a smirk and took his hand, laughing as he spun her around and around. The two danced out onto the floor, their peers looking at them in shock as they continued to spin around. Onyx dipped his partner dramatically earning a cackle from the girl which continued long after the move.
After the song had ended the two walked back to their table to find Narcissa quietly fuming and Lucius looking off into space. Onyx couldn't help but smile inwardly at the pair, happy to get any reaction out of the girl. Graciously pulling out his dates chair he smiled at her giggle, she might be totally insane sometimes but he did enjoy spending time with Bellatrix. Taking his seat he began to survey the room again, feigning interest in his classmates when he suddenly felt a foot trailing up his leg under the long table cloth. His eyes darted over to his boyfriends, a devious smile on his lips.
"What do you think you are doing?" Onyx smirked playfully.
"Stirring things up." Lucius practically purred, a thing he did quite often when they were together.
"I do believe I need to powder my nose love, join me Narcissa?" Bellatrix asked her sister, whose look of annoyance was growing.
"Why not" she answered with a huff, standing and walking off with her sister.
"So I was thinking that tonight you and I could sneak down to the lake...alone." Lucius said, his voice dripping with innuendo.
"Sounds good to me." Onyx answered with a wink. Looking up from the table Onyx spotted the Marauders making their way towards them from across the dance floor. He couldn't help but roll his eyes look over at Lucius, tilting his head towards the advancing troupe.
"Malfoy, Lestrange why aren't you on the dance floor?" James asked with a smirk.
"How would you even begin to dance to music like this?" Lucius answered, turning his head away from the group.
"And you Onyx?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
"I had my fun during a song but my date has retreated to the lavatory." Onyx replied with a smirk of his own.
"I'm sure you could find someone else willing to fill in." Pettigrew giggled, earning an elbow from Sirius.
"That's okay, I'm fine with my date thank you very much." Onyx chuckled turning his gaze to Lucius.
"Remember our invitation though, its always open." James sang as they turned to leave.
"I do believe they have their sights set on you Onyx, I wonder what the desperation is to invite you?" Lucius asked, turning to study the group walking away.
"I have no idea, they did mention my animagus status so maybe that's what it is." Onyx shrugged, not really caring either way.
"Well I do applaud your taste for declining." Lucius smirked.
"Why would I join them?" Onyx asked confused.
"Well you always did have a special affinity for Black." Lucius replied, his voice full of distaste.
"When we were children maybe, but people grow. Why, is that jealously that I am detecting Lucius?" Onyx asked with an bit of delight.
"Absurd, why would I be jealous someone like Sirius Black?" Lucius scoffed.
"Because you are afraid he has his eyes set on your property." Onyx answered, watching the fire flare in his boyfriend's eyes. That fire seemed to smolder as a wide smirk cut across the blonde's face, his eyes locked on the younger man.
"And what is going on here?" Narcissa asked as she and Bellatrix returned.
"Sirius and his little friends made an appearance to revisit their invitation to Onyx." Lucius replied, his eyes on anything but the people at the table.
"Oi, wonder what has them so desperate?" Bellatrix laughed.
"Onyx seems to think its because of his animagus status." Lucius continued on.
"I do think its time we made ourselves scarce, this party has lost its fun" Narcissa sighed looking around, hating any spotlight on her rival.
"To the lake then?" Bellatrix asked looking around.
"Why not." Onyx shrugged.
The four made their way outside, walking along the starlit waters to their special spot. Narcissa and Bellatrix began skipping rock and laughing as Lucius backed Onyx up against the rock, their lips crashing together. Onyx could put up with everything in the world for moments like this, when it all melted away and he felt his boyfriend's arms around him.
"Snogging as usual I see." Bellatrix laughed, throwing a rock at the couple.
"Oh shut up will you." Lucius shouted at the girl, his hands traveling down Onyx's back into his back pockets.
"We have company." Narcissa whispered, Lucius quickly backing away from Onyx.
"Well if it isn't the cream of the crop." James Potter chuckled, as he and the rest of the Marauders came walking up along the waters edge.
"Have you nothing better to do than bother us Potter?" Lucius growled.
"My friends and I were simply enjoying the night air, it was completely by accident that we stumbled upon you." James smirked, trying to feign innocence.
"Filthy lot!" Bellatrix yelled pulling out her wand. The four boys quickly produced theirs as Onyx sighed in annoyance.
"Why doesn't everyone just go about their ways, I am in no mood!" Onyx snapped.
"Only if we can talk with you...alone." Sirius shouted as he scowled at his cousin.
"What in bloody hell do you want with me?" Onyx sighed, getting more annoyed by the second.
"Come with us and find out." James answered his eyes locked on a very angry Lucius.
"Fine, if it will end all this." Onyx sighed walking over and pushing Bellatrix's wand down to her side. Looking back at Lucius he gave a wink, earning a small smile from the boy before he was led back towards the castle.
