The Halloween Ball (Part Two)
A/N: Only Sarah Hernandez belongs to me. I don't own any of the other characters – I just like to mess with their hearts and heads. Darren Hayes', " Insatiable", doesn't belong to me either. (No, this isn't a song-fic for all you song-fic haters out there.)
Severus' P.O.V.
This was mad – he really shouldn't be doing this.
I'm going to hate myself in the morning, he thought dryly in a brief flash of self-disgust.
Then again, he usually did for one reason or another, so it really didn't matter.
He strode over to the dance floor, his plain black robes suddenly alive with the luminous strobe lights.
The Clinking Marrows had toned the pace down considerably, and began playing, (by request) a muggle song entitled, Insatiable by someone named Darren Hayes…or was it, Warren Daze? No matter…
The multi-colored lights slipped away from him as he stepped off the dance floor and into the shadows directly behind the spot where Charles was holding Sarah.
Sarah started as soon as she saw her Potion's Professor standing behind them.
"I do request, Mr. Brewer and Ms. 'Erendaz," he narrowed his eyes.
"That you two control your hormones and stop pressing against each other like a pair of fornicating animals," he added in that smooth-as-silk voice of his.
Sarah looked around, observing all the students that were openly groping each other suddenly, it hit her.
She snapped her attention back to her Head of House.
Testing the waters, she raised an eyebrow and asked innocently enough:
"Excuse me, Professor?"
"I believe your heard me the first time, young lady," his voice rumbled from somewhere in the back of his throat.
His voice – it sounded just like…
She failed to notice that her hands were still entwined with her dance partner's and, indeed, she had failed to notice her partner's presence altogether.
That is, until he spoke.
"May I speak to you in private, professor?"
Sarah blinked and let go of her escort's hands.
She shot a shocked look at him, then turned her attention back to her professor, wondering just how he was going to respond to her date's less-than-polite tone of voice.
But to her surprise, Snape swept off and led the way to a fairy-lit corner table just as Remus and Phillip were leaving –
Remus and Phillip?
Now, Gryffindors were sorted for their bravery. Hufflepuffs were known for their hard work. Intelligence was favored in the house of Rowena Ravenclaw. And deep within the heart of every Slytherin was a core of cleverness and cunning.
Sarah wasn't in Salazar Slytherin's house for nothing. She knew just what was going on now and she berated herself for not figuring it out sooner. Why, how could it have taken her so long to figure out the obviousness of the situation?
She stood there contemplating the subject until Terry Boot from Ravenclaw and Blaise Zabini from her own house gave her a small nudge to get off the floor.
Giving Blaise a sheepish smile, she returned to the table where Ron and Harry were sitting by themselves.
As she cut her way through the crowd, there was only the naked truth she was thinking about: Phillip Lycan and Charles' Brewer were Lupin and Snape's……nephews from out of town!!
**Lyrics to Darren Hayes', Insatiable**
When moonlight crawls along the street
Chasing away the summer heat
Footsteps outside somewhere below
The world revolves I let it go
We build our church above this street
We practice love between these sheets
The candy sweetness scent of you
It bathes my skin I'm stained by you
And all I have to do is hold you
There's a racing in my heart
I am barely touching you
Chorus
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable
The moonlight plays upon your skin
A kiss that lingers takes me in
I fall asleep inside of you
There are no words
There's only truth
Breathe in Breathe out
There is no sound
We move together up and down
We levitate our bodies soar
Our feet don't even touch the floor
And nobody knows you like I do
The world doesn't understand
But I grow stronger in your hands
Chorus(X2)
We never sleep we're always holdin' hands
Kissin' for hours talkin' makin' plans
I feel like a better man
Just being in the same room
We never sleep there's just so much to do
Too much to say
Can't close my eyes when I'm with you
Insatiable the way I'm loving you
Chorus (X2)
