An hour later, Lucius and Abbey walked away from the group of dancers, exhausted, to get some drinks.

"You lied," Abbey said.

"I lied?"

"Yes. When we first when out there, you said you were a hopeless dancer. You're actually not too bad."

"Oh. Thank you."

They returned to the drinks table and Abbey prepared her Butterbeer and tequila creation for both of them. She handed Luc his and took a sip of her own. Lucius took a cautious sip.

"Do you like it?" Abbey asked.

"Yeah, I do. You're good at this."

Abbey smiled. "I'm glad you think so. I'm still disappointed that I couldn't think of a costume which would mean you didn't have to wear a shirt."

Lucius laughed. "I like this one."

"Well you're definitely getting attention from the other girls. I'm a little jealous."

"No reason to be."

"Yeah, they're all looking at you like they'd do anything to get into your pants."

"Too bad. I have a girlfriend. Who I love. They've got no chance."

"She's a lucky one, that girlfriend of yours."

"No," Luc replied, pulling her into an embrace, "I'm the lucky one."

"Yes you are, she is pretty amazing."

"Yeah, and she looks wonderful tonight."

Abbey reached up to kiss him and he lowered his head to meet her lips. The kiss started soft and cautious but Lucius quickly deepened it, running his hands over her arms and back. Abbey played with the hem of his shirt and then slipped her hands underneath it, exploring his stomach and chest. Lucius slowly moved on of his hands up her back until it rested at the back of her head, where it became tangled in her long, dark hair.

"Get a room!" someone yelled at them and they suddenly broke apart, having forgotten they were in a crowded room. Lucius looked around, embarrassed and Andromeda caught his eye from the other side of the room and winked. "Good work," she mouthed. Lucius shifted his gaze from her to the person standing next to her and saw Regulus, his face dark with anger and hatred. Lucius looked down at his feet.

"Hey, that's Regulus next to Andromeda, right?" Abbey asked from beside him.

"Yes it is. Why?"

"I'd like to go talk to him about punching my boyfriend."

"That's really not necessary."

"Yes it is."

"It really isn't."

"He punched you! I'm going to talk to him, whether you come with me or not."

Lucius sighed. "Fine, I'll come."

"Good," Abbey replied, taking Lucius' hand and leading him over to where Andromeda and Regulus stood. He hoped that Regulus would leave, but he didn't. Regulus watched them walk over, his eyes growing more and more angry. When they reached the pair, Andromeda smiled.

"Enjoying yourselves?" she asked.

"Yes, it's a great party," Lucius replied with a smile.

"I wasn't talking about that."

This comment made Lucius blush and Abbey giggle.

"He was enjoying himself," Abbey replied. "I know he was."

"How?" Andromeda asked.

"I think you know," she said with a wink.

"Hey, I'm still here," Lucius said, blushing deeply.

Andromeda and Abbey laughed. Regulus continued to stare at Luc with utter loathing in his eyes.

"So why did you come over? I thought you'd be going off to have some fun by the way the pair of you were carrying on over there."

"We're on our way," Abbey replied. "But firstly I wanted to talk to Regulus."

"We have nothing to talk about," Regulus said softly but firmly.

"Yes we do. You punched my boyfriend. I'd like to know why."

"He slept with you. In my room."

"Lucius is perfectly able to make his own decisions. Plus, we were in his bed."

"And I bet you've been back there since."

"Actually, yes. We have."

Regulus looked like he was about to punch Luc again.

"Well I don't want you to do it in my room again."

"Why not?"

"Because it's my room too. I don't want things like that happening in my room."

"Just because you don't have anyone who is prepared to do that to you, doesn't mean you have to stop Lucius if he can find someone who cares about him."

Lucius grabbed Abbey's hand. "Don't, Abbey," he whispered into her ear. "I don't want him to hurt you."

Regulus clenched his fists, trying to control his anger. He glared at her.

"Keep your pet on a shorter leash, Malfoy."

Andromeda watched the interactions, confused.

"Reg, aren't you overreacting just a little bit?" she asked, softly.

"No. I think I've had enough of this party. I'll leave you two to make out all you want. But when you come back to my room," he directed at Lucius, "I want you to be alone."

He then stormed away and out of the room.

"Well that was interesting," Andromeda said, breaking the silence.

Abbey grabbed Luc's wrist and checked his watch. "It's probably time for us to go too."

"Oh…off to have some fun?"

Abbey grinned. "Possibly. We wouldn't want to offend your guests."

Andromeda laughed. "Enjoy yourselves. I'm sure I'll be here for a while longer."

"Thank you, it was a great party!" Lucius said.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," she replied with a smile.

Abbey took Luc's handed and pulled him towards the door. They walked out of the room and stopped outside the door.

"So since we can't go back to either of our rooms, where are we going to go?" Lucius asked.

"I think I have an idea," she replied, taking his hand and pulling him along with her. Lucius followed her until she stopped outside a deserted classroom.

"I think this will do," she said.

"We'll have to wait and see," he replied. Abbey wrapped her arms around his waist and he lowered his head to kiss her. He met the kiss and immediately took control. He turned them around and pushed Abbey against the wall. Abbey wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer to her. Lucius held her thighs to keep her up. He began to move his kisses from her mouth and down her neck. Abbey moaned softly and began to grind her body against his. Lucius pulled her away from the wall, returning his lips to hers. He reached for the handle of the classroom door and opened it. Abbey jumped out of his arms and pulled him towards one of the desks.

"Hold on," he said, gesturing at the open door. "Privacy."

He walked back a few steps and pushed the door closed.
