I don't own anything of J.K Rowling's
-----------------------------------
The Yule ball was being held in the Great hall, at eight o'clock, Adonisa being in a rush to get ready walked down the stairs to the main hallway at seven. Severus, standing next to the doors leading into the Great hall, heard the click of her shoe on the stone floor and looked up. Adonisa, wearing a shimmering forest green thick-strapped dress with a side ways cut at the bottom showing off some of her leg, walked down the stairs. Her hair was a bit wavier then normal causing it the bounce when she walked.
"Severus, whip your mouth you're drooling" Minerva said walking out of the Great hall. His hand went to his mouth but it was dry, he turned and shot a glare at Minerva.
"Sev?" Adonisa asked behind him. He turned to look at her, trying to keep his eye from straying.
"How do I look?" She asked spinning around.
"Simple perfect" He answered checking her whole body out, which seemed to form to the dress as it moved with her.
"Glad you like it, but you may want to keep your mouth closed" She explained walking passed him. Severus smiled and watched her walk over to Minerva.
"Professor?" Hermione asked from behind him.
"What?" He snapped tearing his eyes off of Adonisa to look at her.
"I've notice the past few years you can't seem to keep your eyes off of Professor Black." Hermione said.
"I can too take my eyes off of her." He said trying to restrain himself from looking back.
"See! You can't. Do you love her?" Hermione asked.
"Why don't you join me for detention after class tomorrow and find out" He snapped at Hermione who got mad and stormed off to find Victor. Severus shook his head and turned back to watch Adonisa and Minerva talked.
"You know he's been staring at you for the past 10 minutes right? Minerva told Adonisa completely off topic.
"Yes I know, let him I'm married and he knows it." Adonisa explained.
"Do you two have a history?" Minerva asked.
"Yes come sit I'll explain." Adonisa said walking over and sitting down on a bench on the side of the hall. Adonisa explained everything to Minerva, everything but the dream and the tower that is. Minerva sat there for a minute and looked confused.
"Wait why didn't you take him back after he's pleading?" She asked.
"I don't really know, something told me this was going to happen I guess" Adonisa answered as the Dumbledore walked in. The champions, Harry, Victor, Cedric and Fleur walked in behind him. The four had the first dance to themselves and then everyone joined in, Adonisa and Minerva sat there chatting and watching the couples dance. Hermione wiggled away from Victor and walked over to the still staring Severus.
"Professor Snape?" She addressed him.
"Yes what do you want now, you little pest" He asked.
"She's not dancing with anyone and Sirius isn't here, Why don't you ask her?" Hermione asked him.
"Because, She'd say no she doesn't dance," Severus explained.
"Maybe she will for you" Hermione said parting him to find Victor again. Severus walked over to Adonisa; Minerva nodded his way and whispered something to her. Adonisa said something back and Minerva walked away. Severus stopped at the chair next to Adonisa and stood there staring at her; his eye ran over the scar on her shoulder that was mostly covered by her dress.
"Does your arm still hurt?" He asked
"A little" She said trying to clover the scar up more.
"It's fine, doesn't stand out compared to your beauty" He said blushing.
"Sev…That's sweet" She said looking up at him.
"Do you, Will you dance with me?" He asked her. She stood up and took his hand in hers and pulled him onto the dance floor. Hermione, Fred and George stood on the side.
"Hand it over, I won the bet." Hermione ordered them. Fred and George handed her a money purse and grumbling they walked away. Adonisa and Severus danced to a few songs then sat in the back with Harry and Ron laughing and joking. The little boy Ned came up to Adonisa and tugged on her arm.
"Allo Ned" She greeted him.
"Professor Black, will you honor me with this dance?" He asked her. Adonisa looked at Severus who shrugged.
"Yes Come on lets dance." She said and Ned gave them all the widest smile they ever saw. Adonisa and Ned walked off and Severus got up and walked over to Fred and George.
"Look I bet you he would ask her," Severus told them, without saying a word Fred dropped another money purse into Severus's hands and walked off. Adonisa walked up to him and look at the purse.
"What's that from?" She asked
"Oh nothing just something settled that's all." He explained walking back to where Harry and Ron sat. Adonisa followed, they stayed there for the rest of the night watching the kids dance and people slowly retire to their beds. Adonisa and Severus walked out the Great hall together and went their different ways to bed.
