Summary: Harry is alone at Hogwarts' Halloween Masquerade Ball, feeling uncomfortable, when a stranger arrives and asks him to dance.
Harry wasn't enjoying Hogwarts' Halloween Masquerade Ball. His mask was starting to itch, he felt ridiculous in his costume, and, worst of all, his lover was away on business. He was just resigning himself to misery when he felt a tap on his shoulder. A tall, thin man stood beside him. "A dance, Mr. Potter?" he offered.
Harry hesitated, but nodded and allowed himself to be led to the floor. The music began and he panicked, only to relax when the man gently wrapped an arm around his waist.
Instantly, Harry realised who he was dancing with. "Severus," he breathed.
The man in question smirked. "Excellent, Potter. You aren't half as dim as I thought."
Harry grinned. "When did you get back?"
"Technically, I'm not supposed to be back."
"You're here for me?"
"Don't flatter yourself," Severus snapped, then softened, probably knowing that Harry would see right through the lie anyway. "You look enticing in that horrible costume, by the way."
Harry laughed. "I'll look even more enticing once it's off," he whispered.
Severus chuckled, eyes darkening, and pressed his lips sweetly against Harry's. Harry's last fleeting thought was that maybe, just maybe, this ball wasn't so bad after all.
