So there's a lot more fun to come!!!! Please keep reviewing since it keeps me writing!!!!!
Chapter Seven
"A gin and tonic and a fire whiskey for table six." Alex said, taking a seat at the bar. She and Tonks were working undercover at a small nightclub in Knockturn Alley. Tonks was a bartender, disguised with one of her many looks. Alex had also used a glamour to alter her appearance, but nothing drastic.
"Rough night?" Tonks grinned, while starting to prepare the order.
"It's not too busy but I swear if someone grabs my butt one more time, he's going to find himself missing a hand." Alex threatened.
"Yeah well at least you don't have people telling their pathetic life stories to you all night. I swear men just don't get it. If you cheat on your wife, she's gonna leave you!" Tonks stated, rolling her eyes. "They're pathetic."
"Yeah well most men are." Alex replied, grinning lightly.
"Speaking of men." Tonks grinned, looking past Alex. "Look who just sat down in your section." Casually Alex turned and saw Lucius Malfoy sitting down at an empty table a few feet away from the bar.
"Lucius Malfoy." Alex stated, turning back towards the auror. "Too bad he's evil because that man is gorgeous." Lucius was one of the regulars to the nightclub and Alex was one of his favorite cocktail waitresses. So far, she had not been able to get any information out of him.
"Yeah but did you see who is with him?" Tonks grinned. Even she had to admit Malfoy was a looker. Alex glanced over her shoulder again and spotted Severus Snape sitting at the same table.
"Oh shit!" she gasped. "Well this should make for an interesting night." Alex sighed and took the drinks from Tonks, placing them on her tray.
"You never know, he may not recognize you." Tonks shrugged. She didn't know much about their past, but she knew that something had happened between the two of them. She was also pretty sure that they still had feelings for each other.
"I doubt it. The man rarely misses a thing." Alex said and left the bar to deliver the drinks to the waiting table. After making sure she had gotten their order right, she headed over to the table where Malfoy and Snape sat talking.
"Lucius! Long time no see." Alex smiled, allowing herself to be pulled on his lap. The look on Snape's face was priceless as she leaned over and gave Lucius a quick kiss.
"Lexi, my darling! I must apologize for not being here. It seems that my time has been required elsewhere lately." Lucius replied, wrapping his arms around her waist. Alex internally winced at the name but it was what she was known as at the club. There was no way she was going to give out her real name.
"And here I was thinking you had replaced me." Alex pouted, playing with a strand of his blonde hair.
"I am no where near done with you yet." He promised, grinning maliciously at her. He then turned his attention back to Snape, who was currently glowering at the both of them. "Lexi I wish for you to meet an old friend of mine, Severus Snape. Severus was kind enough to join me for a drink tonight, weren't you Severus?"
"Indeed." Snape replied coolly. Alex couldn't help but grin and lean across the table.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sev." She said softly, brushing her lips across his cheek. You gotta love acting. Otherwise, Alex would never have had the guts to be so forward with him.
"So what can I get you gentlemen to drink?" she asked, straightening back up.
"Fire whiskey, as usual." Lucius said. She nodded and looked back over at Snape.
"And you?"
"The same." He replied shortly, giving her a dark look. Alex just smiled sweetly and stood up from Lucius' lap.
"It'll be right up." She said and headed back to the bar where Tonks was watching with avid interest.
"Now Severus, that is one fine woman." Lucius remarked, his eyes glues to Alex's backside.
"If looks could kill you would be dead." Tonks grinned, as Alex set down the order.
"Yeah well it would be worth it." She grinned, leaning against the countertop. "You're closing tonight right?"
"Yeah we both are. But at least you get to sleep in tomorrow." Tonks replied, placing the drinks on the tray.
"You would like to think that, wouldn't you?" Alex remarked. Whenever she tried to sleep in, someone always came knocking on her door needing her for something. It was usually one of her teammates or Lia. Sighing, Alex picked up the tray and started back towards the table. It was going to be a long night. "Is she one of your new conquests, Lucius?" Snape asked, leaning back in his chair. He didn't like the club but Malfoy had not taken no as an answer when he demanded Severus join him for a drink. The club was too loud with the music and drunken witches and wizards mingling around.
"Let's just say she's made it to the list." Lucius remarked, smirking lightly. Snape knew then that he hadn't slept with her but Malfoy had the intention to. The thought of Alex lowering herself to that standard disgusted Snape, as well as made him jealous. He really didn't have anything to be jealous of. He could have had her a year ago, he could have allowed himself to be truthful and admit he had fallen in love with her as well. But it was too late for that now. And with the war coming closer, it would be too dangerous. Especially if he got found out that he was a spy.
"Here you go gentlemen." Alex said, placing the drinks down in front of them. "Will there be anything else for now?"
"When will you allow me to take you out to dinner Lexi?" Lucius asked. He asked her this question every time he came into the club.
"You know I don't date customers, Lucius." Alex laughed lightly. She was half tempted to say yes just for Snape's benefit. Lucius ran a finger along her arm.
"We could always skip dinner." He said winking at her suggestively.
"That's an enticing offer." Alex replied. She paused for a second, meeting Snape's glare. "I shall definitely consider it, Lucius." Alex then headed over to another table where a couple of witches had just sat down.
It was late by the time Alex finally got back to Hogwarts. She was exhausted and couldn't wait to crawl into bed. The portrait swung open and she stumbled into the dark room. It had definitely been a long night, what with Snape and Malfoy coming in. Snape had barely even talked to her but his dark looks were enough to set her on edge. It was probably best that he didn't talk to her, in case she slipped up and was revealed as a spy.
Other then him coming in, the night was pretty uneventful. No one seemed to be talking, even when completely sloshed. Alex and Tonks had closed the club and then parted ways at Diagon Alley. Alex wondered how Tonks was able to work so late and get up early the next morning for work at the Ministry.
Alex lit the fireplace, casting a soft glow over the room. It was then that she knew she was no alone in the room. Reaching for her wand, she scanned the shadows.
"I know you're there." She said as all weariness disappearing as her nerves tensed up. "Show yourself." There was a movement from the far corner of the room and Snape stepped forward into the light.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Alexandra?" he demanded, scowling down at her.
"What the hell am I doing?! What the hell are you doing in my room? In the dark!" she yelled, bewildered. She really needed to change her password and set up some stronger wards. He got in way too easily.
"Do you enjoy throwing yourself at half-drunk men like some common whore?" he said, sneering down at her. If he really thought about it, the only thing bringing this on was a large case of jealousy. Seeing Alex flirt with Malfoy had set him off and knowing that Alex did this for the Order made it even worse.
"It's my job! You know nothing of what I do!" Alex argued. He had no right to make this sort of accusations against her. She was doing what she needed to do and what she had been doing since she took the position almost a year ago. "This is the job I was assigned and I am doing my best to get any information that I can to save people's lives and bring Voldemort down!"
"Yes, I can see it now. The Downfall of Voldemort successful by sleeping in the beds of death eaters! You'll get an Order of Merlin for sure!" Snape mocked. Alex's eyes widened and before he realized it, she slapped him hard across the face.
She lifted her hand to slap him again but he caught her wrist before she could make contact with his cheek. Snape pulled her close, holding her arm behind her back and kissed her harshly. With all the force she could muster, Alex pushed him away.
"What are you doing?" she demanded, outraged. Yes she had wanted him to kiss her since the day she came back but this was not how it was supposed to happen.
"Isn't this what you get paid for?" he remarked and stormed out the door before he did something he would later regret. He had just made it out the door when a vase came smashing against it. Alex crumbled to the ground in tears.
