AN: I may do an epilogue or if anyone want this can be a series of drabbles that span the 6th book. Let me know in the reviews.
DEDICATION: To RaffealHart for being an inspiration. Thank you for the story you wrote for me, this is for you.
It was so weird, dancing with Black in this way. It was throwing him off to be slow dancing after a night of such upbeat music, but it was so much more awkward because slow dancing was meant to be more intimate and he was dancing with Black.
They were pretty far apart, but Black's hand was on his waist, while the other held his hand and his free hand rested on Blacks shoulder. It felt so awkward and formal, so after a few moments Black shook free their clasped hands and his hand joined the other resting on Severus' waist. Severus couldn't help but to stiffen but Black ignored it and when Severus regained his bearing his free hand went to Blacks' other shoulder.
They moved slowly, still pretty far apart, dancing to what seemed like ever slowing music. It was awkward, but the tension seemed to be melting away. It was awkward, but they swayed together slowly. It was awkward, but they were like the other couples on the floor. It was awkward and then it wasn't.
The other's danced and talked, but watched the pair with sly eyes and knowing smiles. Were they watching the future unfold? None of them knew, but it seemed as though they were.
The song ended and the pair pulled apart, Severus blushing slightly and mumbling something about a drink and the pair exited the floor, leaving the other couples to finish their dance. The younger of the crowd dropped like flies, most ending up all curled up on and hanging off the couch while the adults continued to talk and dance the night away.
They music picked back up for a bit and Severus found himself dancing from partner to partner, even dancing with Albus once, which was much like dancing with one's father would be. The thought amused Severus.
Eventually Sirius said the last few songs would be slow and the party should probably end soon not that he wanted it too, but the other's agreed. The sleeping teens really needed to be herded off to bed and the other most of the group had some sort of work in the morning.
AN: These are drabbles so they will be short!
