Chapter 8
Lyric leaned against her door grinning, she slid down the door burying her face in her hands blushing at the fact that she had just flirted with her lord. Laughing she shook her head and then pushing herself up made her way back over to the bed where she had left her dress.
Taking off her dress and bra she pulled on her dress reattaching her knife to her leg, she pulled on her heels and then made her way back over to the mirror. Frowning she shrugged and left her hair short as normal, she replaced her jewelry and then exited the room.
She made her way back to the main hall and moved over to her father, he hugged her and said "I'm really proud of you darling." She grinned and said "Thanks for your help!"
Voldemort reentered the room and they sat at the table once again, this time Lyric sat with her father and Bellatrix reclaimed her original seat with a smug look at Lyric. Lyric rolled her eyes, how had she known that Bellatrix was going to have a problem with her?
The serious part of the evening began and swiftly finished with little bloodshed and only a few crucio's, when it finished Voldemort stood and said "Please enjoy the rest of the evening."
They all stood and bowed –curtseys for the women- and then moved away from the table. A space was cleared and a band began to play, several couples made their way out onto the dance floor. Draco cleared his throat and said "Might I have this dance Miss Dolohov?"
Lyric laughed and said "Please Draco, it's Lyric and of course you may." She allowed him to lead her out onto the dance floor and pull her into position. She smiled up at him and said "So how long have you been gay?" He choked slightly and said "How the hell did you know? And blunt much!"
Lyric laughed and as they spun round the dance floor said "Oh come on, it's pretty obvious love. Just like it's obvious that your mother and father aren't madly in love as they pretend and have people on the side. Your mother is with Rabastan Lestrange and your father is shacking up with mine, so tell me how long?"
Draco laughed and said "Wow you really are observant and at least 2 years now. My boyfriend Blaise and I have been going out for about a year now; I've yet to tell my parents though."
Lyric grinned and said "I'm sure they'll be fine with it, now tell me about Hogwarts. I can't wait to go; I've heard some really good things about it." Draco smiled and as they spent the rest of the song chatting about Hogwarts, when the song ended they bowed/curtseyed to each other and Draco led them off the dance floor.
Lyric ended up dancing with many other deatheaters, including both Lestrange brothers, Theodore Nott – that ended very abruptly once again with her knife at his throat as he once again grabbed her ass – and Lucius Malfoy.
As Blaise Zabini led her back to the group her father extended his hand and said "May I have the pleasure of a dance, my dear?" Lyric knew the look in her father's eyes and laughing said "Of course papa, now what may I ask will we be dancing? A rumba or a salsa?"
Antonin grinned and said "I believe a salsa might shake this party up a bit, it's a little dry for my taste at the moment." Lyric beamed at him and said "I believe I'll need to change for that, if you could alert the musicians and then give me a twirl, I might be able to sort something."
Antonin quickly made his way over to the band as Lyric moved to the middle of the floor.
Antonin swiftly made his way over to her after shedding his jacket and then taking her hand quickly spun her round a few times, as she spun her lovely black dress disappeared leaving in its place a rather revealing dance outfit. It was basically a gold beaded and tasseled bra with a white tassel skirt with gold belt.
The band started playing the song Fuego and the pair began dancing, soon they had captured everyone's attention. They all stared as they watched Antonin and Lyric dancing; a lot of the men mesmerized quite frankly by Lyric's swaying hips and ass. Many of the girls looked on in jealously and several of the mothers could be seen wringing their hands as Antonin threw Lyric in the air and caught her.
Voldemort stood to one side watching the two of them dance with a measured look upon his face, Lyric grinned at her father both of them caught up in the dance. Throwing Lyric into the air one more time Antonin managed a twist before he caught her by the hand spinning her round until she lay across his lap outstretched staring up at him.
Lyric grinned and then leaned up and hugged her father, they stood up as applause filled the room. Voldemort applauded politely as his eyes never left Lyric's smiling face, he moved forward saying "Another impressive performance Miss Dolohov, and Antonin I never knew you could dance so vivaciously!"
Antonin smiled and gave his daughter a one armed shoulder hug while saying "Having a daughter has really brought energy back to me and my life." Lyric grinned and said "Thank you my lord, I hope you enjoyed it." Voldemort inclined his head and said "I was very intrigued, now I believe this is the last dance, may I trouble you Antonin for a dance with your daughter?"
Antonin laughed and said "You've already dueled with my daughter; I think it's quite reasonable for you to dance with her my lord." Voldemort extended his hand to Lyric who took it and allowed him to pull her close to him.
As Antonin left the dance floor soft slow music began to play and Voldemort started to guide Lyric through the dance. He held her close, his cold hand resting against the heated skin of her lower back.
He smiled down at her and she tentatively rested her head on his chest. As she did so he glanced down at her with a small amount of shock before quickly schooling his features into a mask of indifference.
Inside however he was in turmoil, no one had ever seemed so comfortable around him, well Bella had but she was completely insane. He couldn't help but notice how well she fitted into his arms, she was so relaxed around him and treated him like a normal human being yet with respect, not the fearsome evil warlord all the others saw him as.
She happily had normal conversations with him, she flirted with him and even went as far as being cheeky but all if the respect he insisted upon. Allowing himself a small smile and drew her closer and as the song finished he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Lyric tried to keep her breathing steady as she felt him draw her close, she glanced up at him and caught him smiling at her. Steadying herself she hesitantly leant her head on his chest, when he made no move to pull away or stop her she closed her eyes.
She held no fear for him, despite the fact that he was the most powerful dark wizard she had ever encountered. His snakelike features didn't repulse her, in fact she couldn't help but think they slightly intrigued her.
She felt him pull her closer as the song came to a finish and she didn't want to pull away, he had been so warm. Pulling away she felt the immediate loss of heat as her sweat soaked body away from his embraced began to cool. She smiled and curtseyed to him saying "You honor me my lord."
He inclined his head and allowed her a small smile before turning to the rest of the room who had not been dancing who were staring at the two of them. He inclined his head and said "Good evening, I wish you all a safe journey back home and will call upon you soon for our next meeting."
He bowed to Lyric and said "I hope you will be there, I understand with your moving to Hogwarts that it will be difficult, you are one of the few at Hogwarts who I have marked. You will only be required to attend when it is possible for you, your main priority is to keep an eye on Harry Potter."
Lyric inclined her head and said "It shall be done my lord, good evening!" She moved back to her father who quickly wrapped his jacket around her now slightly shivering form, he led her to the exit and as she left she allowed herself one last look back at Voldemort.
Her eyes scanned the room for a glimpse of him and she found him standing in the doorway to the manor, his eyes resting firmly on her. He smirked at her and she grinned as she allowed her father to escort her into their car, she watched the manor grow smaller and smaller as they moved further away.
When they arrived back at the hotel and into their suite she hugged her father and he grinned at her saying "Well he's taken quite a shine to you, I dare say you will do well in his ranks." Lyric giggled and said "Dad!"
Antonin laughed and said "Right young lady bed time, we have to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get your stuff for Hogwarts. Goodnight Darling!" Lyric kissed her father's cheek and said "Night dad."
She made her way to her room and swiftly dressed for bed, as she climbed into her warm double bed she sighed. Her last thoughts and even her dreams rested upon Voldemort and her last dance with him.
Hope you all enjoyed it :) Review if you wish, and hopefully inspiration will strike soon and I will have another chapter up.
