Disclaimer: Woohhoooo!
It's almost time for me to go home!!! I get to see my four sisters. My two little ones and the two big ones. And I get to go to
my best friend's B-day party. And I get to go to work... Ugh... Detasseling is the most vile job
on Earth, but if I wanna take Driver's Ed next year,
I hafta get the money myself... (sticks
tongue out at mom) And, anyway, JK Rowling obviously
doesn't need to take Driver's Ed, nor would she have to detassel
for the money... She'd just have to call her Swiss Bank Account, and Woosh!! LOL, nah. Dunno if she has a Swiss Bank
account..... ^_^ So, because I hafta
work in the HOT, mosquito infected cornfield, I'm NOT JK Rowling.
(and I probably won't be able to post until school
starts, either, and I was mad at my mom for making me work....)
AN: Yeah, if you didn't bother to read the disclaimer up there, when I get
back, the updates might slow down a bit, because I have to go get itchy in the
cornfields... But, I'm taking my notebook with me and am writing during
breaks... ^_^ So, please note, everyone, even through the hard work, and
eventually starting High School, I am trying to get this out as fast as
I can, am I think I'm doing pretty good, due to all the stuff that has come
up... So, please don't complain. I'm already giving myself a hard time
about it! (LOL, that's probably the maddest you'll ever see me, knock on wood)
AN2: Thanks SOOOO much to darkmarkgrl (and her dad) for my song suggestion… (Hehe…. You will laugh! You will cry –I did, at
least—You will shoot the author for OOC-ness!)

Hermione and Draco sat down
discreetly at the table a few seats away from where Ron and Harry were
conversing with Kerry.
"At least it's better than last year. You were spending so much time with
Vicky, and hardly talked to us."
"Viktor," Kerry calmly reminded Ron and as they were rolling their
eyes, Hermione and Draco
were looking at each other, amazed.
They looked back as Kerry started talking again. Amazingly, she'd managed to
get a good impression of Hermione's voice in the
short time she'd heard it. If Hermione hadn't been
herself, she would've sworn that was her talking to her friends.
"So, Lavender, you do realize that it is the male peacock that uses the
bright feathers as an attraction for a mate?"
Hermione held her fist to her mouth as she tried to
hold back her laughter. Draco turned away and bit his
lip.
Ron chickled nervously.
"Uh, well... Hey, look at those costumes over there!" He pointed over
to the other side of the hall.
Hermione turned away as she started to shake with
laughter. "Hehe... I never noticed how pathetic
he was..." "So, now you admit it," Draco
teased.
"Yeah, that's a beautiful costume..." Lavender sighed.
"I think that's Shay, because of the red hair, but I don't know. She didn't tell anyone she had a date."
"You can't expect her to tell you every detail of her life, Ron," Kerry scolded.
Hermione and Draco looked at each other in shock. "She's good," Draco commented. "I know," Hermione whispered. "Scott must have told her a lot about me…" "Or she's psychic!" Draco added playfully.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "But the costume they're talking about is really pretty," she said, pointing over to where a fairy was skipping onto the dance floor, towing along a disgruntled, though elegant looking, vampire.
Draco leaned closer and squinted. "That's not Professor Snape, is it?"
Hermione also looked closer. She then looked back up at Draco, her eyes wide. "Professor Snape and Professor Weasley?" Draco just looked back at her, blinking.
Suddenly, she grinned and shrugged. "Well, I guess we aren't the only ones making a statement tonight!"
The reminder egged on his mind as he put his arm around her shoulder and the song ended.
Lee's voice echoed through the Hall, but they shut him out as Hermione nestled into his shoulder and sighed contentedly.
It was only one of the twins laughing loudly and saying, "When Lee uses the words 'request', 'Professor', and 'it isn't my fault' in the same sentence, that means, 'Plug your ears!' " that broke their spell.
~*~*~**~*~*~
Snape grumbled as he walked behind Shaylee to the dance floor. "You'd better be happy that this is a slow song, because I don't fast dance!"
No sooner had these words come out of his mouth than Lee's announcement came on.
"OK, guys. I had a request from a professor and have to play it, Just, keep in mind. It isn't my fault."
There were loud laughs as Severus turned around and glared at a beaming Dumbledore.
Shaylee giggled. "Oh, dear," she said in an annoyingly chipper voice. "Whatever shall we do? It's bound to be a fast song… Hmm! I guess we'll just have to dance!"
Snape turned his glare towards her, which she answered with a cheeky grin.
Then, with the opening chords of the song, her grin faded slightly and his scowl turned into a sly smile.
"Erm, actually, how about we sit this one out?" Shaylee suggested. "This is the music of when I was young!" Snape said, moving closer to the dance floor.
"Yes, I suppose you did grow up in the 70's, didn't you?" Shaylee said feebly, following him.
Snape grinned back at her, and she stopped, standing there staring at him helplessly.
Yeah, there was a funky singer
Playin' in a rock & roll band
And never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Snape finally gave up trying to get her out there voluntarily, and grabbed her wrist and started dragging her out on the floor.
Got to stop to feelin'
so low
And I decided quickly,Yes I
did
To disco down and check out the show
"Hehe, Yeah, that's what we're doing…" Shaylee said nervously, but still finding time to make fun of the song.
Yeah they was
As the chorus started and they reached the middle of the dance floor, Severus started dancing. Let's just say that he would have looked pretty cool back in the 70's…Shaylee closed her eyes in embarrassment.
Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and
shouted
Play that funky music white boy
"Oh… my God…"
Play that funky music right
Shaylee started smiling and a high pitched noise came out of her mouth.
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Shaylee then started laughing loudly. "That's a once in a lifetime sight!" she commented, giggling at him.
Till you die, oh till you die
Gonna play that
electrified funky music, yeah
"Come on, Shaylee! Dance!" Severus said, teasingly. Shaylee's eyes widened and she shook her head. "No! I am not doing that!" she said as Snape spun around and grabbed her hand, trying to pull her in. "Oh…. OK! But, if I get made fun of by my students, it's all your fault!" "Oh, your students, are they?" Snape teased as she started dancing too.
Hey wait a minute
Now at first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock & roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
"Hey, you didn't leave much of your love for disco behind…" Shaylee teased him, laughing. Snape laughed too, but at her. "Well, you must have!" Shaylee glared at him.
But now it's so much better (It's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling (no I won't)
Or how I learned my lesson that day
They were
Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
The students around them had started to notice how they were dancing, and they started to join in. Shaylee laughed at the irony. "Oh, so now the King of Hell is starting a trend?"
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die
As the song wound down, Shaylee and Severus stopped dancing and started laughing hysterically.
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gotta keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music........
The rest of the people dancing cheered and Lee Jordan's dubious voice echoed over the room. "Well, I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be…"
Snape and Shaylee walked back up to the High Table again, still chuckling.
Snape sat down, exhausted, and Shaylee plopped down as usual.
Dumbledore laughed, delighted. "Oh, that was excellent, Severus! And, Shaylee, you are a fast learner!"
Snape snickered. "Ouch!" Shaylee cried and slapped his shoulder.
"I must admit, that was fun. I think we might've scared any students who had any idea who we were… Especially Sevvy! He's not the disco type…"
Severus laughed again. "Oh, let them be scared! I needed that!"
A grin broke out on Shaylee's face, as she studied her date. This was just too much. Severus Snape was having fun… Weird… But, a nice change.
