Rock and Roll

The club hadn't changed in 7 years, it was amazing there was not one difference, even the music was the same! Draco and Sirius thought back to the last time they were there, the night before the final battle. They had had such a party, they had been given free drinks all evening for being such good customers and had danced their socks off ( not literally).

Hermione and Snape were looking around for a table and a place to sit down and Ron had already gone off to buy a drink. Harry was eyeing up a cute guy behind the bar, and the guy seemed to be just as obviously eyeing him back. Sirius rolled his eyes and followed the Snape's. They had barely sat down though when Draco and Sirius jumped up again, Hermione looked at her husband and seemed to be communicating with him silently. The two old customers glanced at each other and Draco grabbed Sirius' hand and yelled "C'mon" over the music.

They ran to the dance floor aware of people's eyes on them but they didn't care. Dancing all the way across the dance floor they didn't stop until they reached the speaker. Dancing right next to it they sang along remembering old times.

"I'm gonna write a little letter,
gonna mail it to my local DJ
It's a rocking' rhythm record
I want my jockey to play
Roll Over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today"

Draco stripped off his denim jacket and threw it on the nearest table, he was surprised to find Potter sitting there watching them. He caught the jacket and put it in his lap. Too busy to care Draco and Sirius danced away.

"You know, my temperature's risin'
and the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
and my soul keeps on singin' the blues
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news"

Swaying away to the music, Sirius was aware of someones eyes on him, he looked up to a far table and he caught Snape's eye. He wasn't scowling as ususal in fact he looked quite happy to be where he was, Sirius watched him as he danced and saw it quite plainly when, his eyes still trained on Sirius, Snape quite obviously licked his lips. Shaking his head in confusion Sirius carried on dancing with his best friend.

"I got the rockin' pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I'm rollin' arthiritis
sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll Over Beethoven rockin' in two by two"


"Well, if you feel you like it
go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up just
a trifle further and reel and rock it,
roll it over,
Roll Over Beethoven and dig these rythmn and blues"

As the words "two by two" blared out the speakers, Sirius and Draco ground their bodies together. They had always done it in the past, it always made on-lookers jealous. And they usually came up to try and tear them apart. By the end of the song though they were always dancing together again. No-one could keep up with them, they had everything the looks, the moves, the words. And at that moment Sirius was right, two people had exactly the same thought, "they look good enough to eat."

"Well, early in the mornin' I'm a givin' you a warnin'
don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin' my fiddle,
ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news"

It was a brilliant song, Sirius often said that if you had to give rock and roll a new name it would be Chuck Berry. The man was a music genius. He was the one who got people tapping their feet and nodding their heads in time with the music. As the last verse came on Sirius and Draco stood still clapping their hands over their heads in time with the music and shouted the words out.

"You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner,
oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop!"

The music finished and in the few seconds there was silence everyone in the club heard hysterical laughter. Draco and Sirius shimmied off the dance floor to the table where Harry was sitting still watching Draco. That reminded Sirius of something and he turned in his seat to look at the table where the other's were sat. Hermione was talking to Ron, who seemed to be drinking in every word in an attempt to impress her. Snape was however still staring at Sirius, and he continued staring at him as he got up and made his way across to the dance floor another song had come on, one that was easy to dance to and Sirius made a movement with his head to invite Snape onto the dance floor. He stood and Hermione didn't even glance up, he walked over to the floor with a little spring in his step. This song was made later than the others, it was 70's music. But Sirius remembered the owner of the club had a weakness for 'Queen' it may have been rock rather than rock and roll but it had the same affect. Sirius had expected Snape to be an awkward dancer, he was wrong. Sure he wasn't as good as Draco but put it down to lack of practise, he had the right rythmn. He didn't know the words but Sirius was singing enough for both of them.

"I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me

At first the two men had been dancing next to each other but not with each other, however Sirius soon found his hand on Snape's slender waist. His eyes locked with the other man's and he saw him blush.


"I'm burnin' through the sky yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you"

It turned out Snape did know the words well to certain parts, the bits where you shouted rather than sung. And in this song there seemed to be quite a few of them. Sirius and Draco had always had a favourite bit " two hundred degrees that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit". It seemed Severus liked that bit too, when it came on he ground his body into Sirius, much the same as Draco did. However with Draco it bought back feelings of longing and hurt with Severus it bought feelings of lust and want.

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm having' a good time)
I don't want to stop at all"

The words seemed to fit perfectly to the situation, the two men didn't want the song to end. Severus felt like he would quite gladly dance to this song for the rest of his life as long as Sirius was by his side. Hermione never like dancing, he had married her because she was brilliant, an academic genius. He thought that was all he needed to be happy. He was wrong what he needed was someone who wanted him and not some red-headed fool. Yes, he knew about her and Ron. Nothing had ever happened that was Hermione's excuse but he wasn't stupid he knew that if Weasley said the word she would be warming his bed rather than Snape's. The song ended with one last drum beat and Snape's world came crashing down, in those few minutes he could pretend that him and Sirius were a couple, that he had everything he had wanted since he was 11 years old.
